Identification of Some Sites in Northwestern Attica APPENDIX IDENTIFICATION OF SOME SITES IN NORTHWESTERN ATTICA Although the correlation of ancient place names with archaeological sites is not central to the thesis of this study, it is an issue which has ex­ cited a good deal of scholarly interest and should be considered briefly. The identifications of Phyle (the main fort), Rhamnous, and Eleusis have never been in doubt. The identification of Kotroni as the acropolis of the deme of Aphidna and of Palaiokastro as the site of the Spartan camp at Dekeleia are less certain, but have been accepted by most modern scholars. There is less agreement on the identification of the sites in northwestern Attica. The locations of the district and village of Eleutherai, the deme of Oinoe, the fort of Panakton, and the regions of Drymos and Orgas have been much debated. I propose only to point out the main lines of argumentation. For a full review of the literary evidence and of scholarly opinion, C. N. Edmonson, "The Topography of Northwest Attica" (unpublished Ph.D dissertation, University of California, Berkeley 1966) is indispensable although I do not agree with his identifications for any of the sites considered below. Eleutherai: The district of Eleutherai was on the northwestern border between Plataea and the rest of Attica and was almost certainly the Mazi plain. Pausanias (1.38.8) says that Plataea is presently the border be­ tween Boeotia and Attica, but that formerly Eleutherai had been the border. Arrian (1. 7 .9) mentions the "gates" (the Kaza pass) that lead from Boeotia to Eleutherai and Attica. Strabo (9. 2. 31) says that Eleutherai was near ·Plataea. The site of the village of Eleutherai is less clear. Pausanias (1.38.9) says that a little above the plain (the Mazi plain), close to Kithairon, the ruins of the walls of Eleutherai are visible. The site of Gyphtokastro (VII.5.a) would appear to fit this description admirably. The identification of Gyphtokastro as Eleutherai was made by J. G. Frazer (Pausanias' Description of Greece, New York 1898, II, pp. 516-17), Milchhoefer (IX, p. 37), Chandler (pp. 10-11), Hammond (p. 121 ), and Vanderpool (pp. 231, 242). Other sites proposed include the Myoupolis fort by W. M. Leake (Travels in Northern Greece, London 1835, II, pp. 375-78), K. J. Beloch ("Zur Karte von Griechenland," Klio 11, 1911, 437), Kahrstedt (p. 12), and Edmonson (pp. 144-49); near the modern town of Villia by W. P. Wallace ("The Spartan Invasion of At­ tica in 431 B.C." in Studies in Honour of Gilbert Norwood: Phoenix Suppl. 1, Toronto 1952, 81). 224 APPENDIX Oinoe: The Attic deme of Oinoe was next to Eleutherai (Strabo, edition of Aly, pp. 16, 240-41, 281; Harpocration, s.v.). Since Eleutherai was on the Boeotian border (see above) it is safe to assume that Oinoe was also near the frontier. Thucydides (2.18.1-2) says that Oinoe was the first place in Attica ('tiji; 'At't'Lxiji;) that the Peloponnesians came to in 431 and that Oinoe was in the methorion between Attica and Boeotia. This does not necessarily mean that the Peloponnesians did not first come past Eleutherai, since Eleutherai did not have official deme status in the fifth century. Oinoe was a fortified place (Thuc. 2.18.2) and was a deme (on the political status of Eleutherai and Oinoe, see Edmonson, pp. 144-52, 121-28). Athenian troops from Oinoe ambushed a Corinthian con­ tingent marching home from the fort at Dekeleia (Thuc. 8.98). The M you polis fort (VII .4. b) seems to fit the available evidence best. It is near the border and Eleutherai (Gyphtokastro ), was walled, and was oc­ cupied and probably fortified by the fifth century. Troops from Myoupolis could easily have attacked the Corinthian contingent from Dekeleia which would probably be passing through the Thriasian plain, by using the Oinoe Road (VIIl.4.b ). The identification of Myoupolis as Oinoe was made by Frazer (Pausanias, II, p. 517), Chandler (p. 8), Wrede (pp. 25-26), Scranton (p. 84), and Vanderpool (pp. 231-32). Among other suggested sites are Plakoto by Beloch ("Zur Karte," 437-38) and Kahrstedt (pp. 25-26); Gyphtokastro by Leake (Northern Greece, II, pp. 375-78); the Pantanassa ridge by Wallace ("Spartan In­ vasion," 81-82); the site of the modern town ofVillia by Hammond (pp. 120-22); the Aghios Georgios fort in the Koundoura valley by Edmonson (pp. 121-42). Panakton: Panakton was a major fortress from the period of the Peloponnesian War through the third century (see above, Chapter IX pp. 194, 220). Thucydides (5.3.5) called it a fortress (teichos) in the Athe­ nian methorion. It was clearly on the Athenian-Boeotian border. A scholion to Plato ( Critias 11 0e) claims that Mt Parnes was near Panakton. Of the two sites which have been suggested for the fort, Gyphtokastro and Kavasala (VII.4.a), the latter is to be preferred, both because it is near Parnes and because the pottery record clearly shows that, unlike Gyphtokastro, the fort at Kavasala was occupied in the fifth century. The argument for Gyphtokastro hangs on linking the im­ pressive, well-built site with the famous name, a dubious procedure. Furthermore, the forts of Phyle and Panakton seem to stand and fall together. Demetrius Poliorcetes captured both forts when he chased Cassander out of Attica in 304 (Plut. Demetrius 23.2). It is logical, therefore, to guess that both forts were on the same route, as are Phyle and Kavasala which overlook the two ends of a major route from the .

JONES THE ORGANIZATION OF CORINTH AGAIN aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 120 (1998) 49–56 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 49 THE ORGANIZATION OF CORINTH AGAIN Despite the general dearth of contemporary evidence for the government of Greek Corinth, the segmen- tary division of the city’s territory and population has steadily come into sharper focus thanks to the discovery of a small number of highly suggestive inscriptions. But the undoubted progress made pos- sible by these texts has, I shall argue here, been compromised by lines of interpretation not fully or convincingly supported by the Corinthian evidence and, in more than one respect, at variance with well- established practice elsewhere in Greece. A review of the recent literature on the subject will serve to demonstrate this characterization and to point the way to a more securely grounded reconstruction.1 The only existing comprehensive treatment of the subject is presented in my own synoptic account of what I called the “public organizations” of ancient Greece.2 This treatment condensed the findings of an article on the pre-Roman organization published several years earlier in 1980.3 My analysis was based upon two long appreciated lexicographical notices: one, Suda, s.v. pãnta Ùkt≈, reporting that Aletes, when synoecizing the Corinthians, “made the politai into eight phylai and the polis into eight parts”; the other, Hesychios, s.v. KunÒfaloi, glossing this seeming proper name meaning something like “Wearers of Dogskin Caps” as “Corinthians, a phyle”. To the framework of principal units indica- ted by these sources could be related a list of names dated epigraphically to the latter half of the fourth century originally published as Corinth VIII 1, no.

  • A Garrison at Oropos?
    A Garrison at Oropos? The primary military function of the Athenian ephebeia in the Lycurgan era (and the likely reason for its existence) was to protect the inhabitants of Attica against small bands of raiders originating from Boeotia. According to the Aristotelian Athenaion Politeia “ephebes patrol the countryside and spend time in the guard-posts (phylakteria)” in the second year of their national service (42.4: περιπολοῦσι τὴν χώραν καὶ διατρίβουσιν ἐν τοῖς φυλακτηρίοις). If the ephebeia was created sometime after Alexander of Macedon’s destruction of Thebes in September 335 BCE, it would mean that the terminus post quem for the regular deployment of a minimum of one phyle of ephebes at these phylakteria was 333/2 BCE (Friend 2019). The epigraphic habit of the ephebes who had garrisoned the defensive infrastructure of Attica in the 330s and 320s BCE, until the probable abolition of the ephebeia after the Lamian War, permits the identification of the Athenaion Politeia’s unnamed “guard-posts”. An analysis of those end of service dedications erected by individual ephebic phylai reveals that the phylakteria would have consisted of fortified demes (Eleusis, Rhamnous, and Oinoe) and of border forts (Phyle and Panactum) situated at the Attic-Boeotian frontier or at the northeastern coast of Attica. Did the ephebes also garrison Oropos after the acquisition of the frontier stronghold from Alexander in 335/4 (rather than from Philip in 338/7), just as in the Peloponnesian War (Thuc. 8.60.1)? Two arguments can be adduced in support of the view that ephebes (and presumably their older compatriots) were responsible for patrolling the Oropia.

    Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions.

DOTTO/U TALKS ) f^op Lt=. 7 yt All rights reserved f PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN TO WALTER DE LA MARE INTRODUCTION The purpose of this book is to let the English reader see for himself what the Greeks, from Homer to Aristotle, thought about the world, the gods and their relations to man, the nature and destiny of the soul, and the significance of human life. The form of presentation is prescribed by the plan of the series. The book is to be a compilation of extracts from the Greek authors, selected, so far as possible, without prejudice and translated with such honesty as a translation may have. This plan has the merit of isolating the actual thought of the Greeks in this period from all the constructions put upon it by later ages, except in so far as the choice of extracts must be governed by some scheme in the compiler's mind, which is itself determined by the limits of his knowledge and by other personal factors. In the book itself it is clearly his business to reduce the influence of these factors to the lowest point; but in the introduction it is no less his business to forewarn the reader against some of the consequences.

  • The Physical Parameters of Athenian Democracy’, Antichthon 53 (2019)
    D.M. Pritchard (in press), ‘The Physical Parameters of Athenian Democracy’, Antichthon 53 (2019). THE PHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF ATHENIAN DEMOCRACY* David M. Pritchard In Memory of Matthew Trundle Abstract: This article investigates the physical parameters of Athenian democracy. It explores the collective-action problems that these parameters caused and settles debates about them that R. G. Osborne famously provoked. Classical Athens was ten times larger than an average Greek state. Fourth-century Athenians were ten times more numerous. These parameters significantly contributed to the success of Athenian democracy. Athens could field more combatants than almost every other Greek state. With such huge manpower-reserves individual Athenians had to fight only ever few years. Nevertheless this huge population also caused collective-action problems. Attica’s farmers could not grow enough to feed them. The Athenians never had adequate personnel or recordkeeping centrally to administer so many citizens over such a large territory. Yet they found effective means at home and abroad to overcome these collective-action problems. 1. Introduction Ancient historians rarely consider systematically the physical parameters within which Athenian democracy operated. Yet these parameters contributed a great to deal to the relative success of this state. At the same time they also created a series of collective-action problems. The classical Athenians understandably did their best to solve as many of these problems as they could. Physical parameters that they did not control helped them to circumvent others. In terms of territory classical Athens had ten times more than that of an average-size Greek state. It had a larger population than almost all other states.
