  • 10. Rood, Thucydides and His Predecessors 230-267
    Histos () - THUCYDIDES AND HIS PREDECESSORS Thucydides’ response to his literary predecessors has been explored with some frequency in recent years. Several articles have appeared even since Simon Hornblower recently wrote that ‘two areas needing more work are Thucydides’ detailed intertextual relation to Homer and to Herodotus’. In these discussions, Thucydides tends to be seen as inheriting a wide range of specific narrative techniques from Homer, and as alluding to particular pas- sages in epic through the use of epic terms and through the broader struc- turing of his story. It has also been stressed that Thucydides’ relationship with Homer should be studied in the light of the pervasive Homeric charge found in the work of Herodotus, the greatest historian before Thucydides. Nor is Thucydides’ debt to Herodotus merely a matter of his taking over Herodotus’ Homeric features: it is seen, for instance, in his modelling of his Sicilian narrative after Herodotus’ account of the Persian Wars, and in his assuming knowledge of events described by Herodotus. Nonetheless, no apology is needed for making another contribution to this topic: by drawing together and examining some of the recent explora- tions of Thucydidean intertextuality, I hope to establish more firmly how Thucydides alluded to his predecessors; and by looking beyond the worlds of epic and Herodotus that have dominated recent discussions, I hope to present a more rounded image of the literary milieu of the early Greek his- torians.

  • Cult and Crisis: a GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 383–395 Original Study Constanze Graml*, Manuel Hunziker, Katharina Vukadin Cult and Crisis: A GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0024 Received February 12, 2019; accepted June 18, 2019 Abstract: From a political point of view, 3rd century BCE Athens represents a shattered unity. Parts of the Athenian countryside and even the city itself were occupied by foreign troops. This loss of control affected the city’s political, economic, social, cultural, and religious life. Since Cleisthenic times, relations between political units and religious communities had become institutionalised through specific cults. Other cult places of relevance to the larger community and therefore with a catchment area that exceeded a deme, e.g. Eleusis, were also affected, as they lay within the occupied territories. This partial inaccessibility of the countryside risked the disruption of religious duties. The project “Cult and Crisis: The Sacred Landscape of Attica and its Correlation to Political Topography” aims to identify potentially affected cult places with no limitations regarding their possible catchment area by analysing their placement in relation to foreign military bases. Alterations in cult practice can plausibly be detected in changes ranging from cessation to the rerouting of ritual movement or the establishment of substitute cult places. As these “solutions” rarely feature in written sources, our GIS-based approach will focus on material remains from sanctuaries. Although an object’s use for ritual practice cannot be deduced with certainty, the distribution of finds certainly attests to human activity. This contribution presents a trial of this approach, taking the Sounion area as its case study.

The writing of a Master Thesis turned out that there is not an easy task at all. Right from the beginning with the effort to find the appropriate topic for your thesis until the completion stage and the time of delivery, you got to manage with multiple issues regarding the integrated presentation of your topic while all the time and until the last minute you are constantly wondering if you handled correctly and whether you should have done this or not to do it the other. So, I hope this Master this to fulfill the requirements of the topic as best as possible. I am grateful to my Supervisor Professor, Thijs Maarleveld who directed me and advised me during the writing of this Master Thesis. His help, his support and his invaluable insight throughout the entire process were valuable parameters for the completion of this paper. I would like to thank my Professor from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Nikolaos Efstratiou who help me to find this topic and for his general help. Also the Professor of University of Crete, Katerina Kopaka, who she willingly provide me with all of her publications –and those that were not yet have been published- regarding her research in the island of Gavdos.

From this information management system there are proposed certain public works that are grouped in two categories, i.e. works that are needed for the entire Attica district and have a general character for the whole region (1 st category works) and then, works that are specifically needed for every particular and individual municipality (2 nd category works). The first category consists of: Collection and Treatment of the Used Water Works, and Reuse of at least a portion of the Treated Wastewater Works, and the second category consists of: Flood Protection through Stormwater Storage Works, Artificial Recharge of Groundwater Aquifers Works, 1 2 Dr.

Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.

  • The Leases of the Laureion Mines
    THE LEASESOF THE LAUREION MINES (PLATES 83-97) D URING the excavation of the Athenian Agora seventy-five fragments of the poletai inscriptions which record the leases of the silver mines at Laureion and the sale of confiscated property have been found. Two have already been published in Hesperia (V, 1936, no. 10, pp. 393-413, and X, 1941, no. 1, pp. 14-27). Eight frag- ments of this same series, all also found in Athens, are published in I.G., IJ2, 1582.-89. These previously published pieces have been included in the numerical series of texts here, which is arranged chronologically in so far as possible, and the data from them included in the index and chart. Amazingly few facts are known about the Laureion mines, so generally, and undoubtedly correctly, believed to have played a very important part in the rise and supremacy of Athens. What revenue did Athens get from them and how and when was this revenue collected? How were they administered? What was the term of the lease? What is the meaning of the different classifications? Who were the men who leased the mines? Any information that can be gained from these new texts is most welcome. It will be limited, by the inscriptions themselves, to the problems of the leases in the fourth century. All generalizations and conclusions are most tentative, based on the limited evidence now available from these very fragmentary texts. One or two rela- tively complete stelai from the third quarter of the fourth century, with dated heading preserved, would provide positive solutions to many questions and quite possibly solutions different from those suggested here.
