CONCLUSION..................................... 146 APPENDIX ......................................... 154 BIBLIOGRAPHY........................................... 160 iv INTRODUCTION When we first read the Melian Dialogue in English, we are stunned to tears by its ageless statements of the human predicament. When we first read the dialogue in Greek, we are at once bewildered by its syntactical intricacies and then spellbound by the subtlety and complexity of its antitheses. Indeed, the Melian Dialogue holds a universal fascination for the individual reader. Exactly what causes this universal fascination? The following study attempts to answer this question by analyzing in detail the form and content of the Melian Dialogue. First it is necessary to consider the Melian Dialogue in the light of the actual historical events of 416 so that we may evalu­ ate the degree of historical accuracy found in this section of the History. Only then can we begin to estimate the subtlety of styl­ istic detail and the depth and power of the political philosophy wrought by Thucydides' creative genius. Primary sources— epigraphi- cal and historical evidence— will be arranged in chronological order and pertinent Greek texts will be quoted along with their translations. The second chapter reviews in detail what the major ancient critics said about Thucydides' style in general and the Melian 1 2 Dialogue in particular. Their appreciation of Thucydides'* rhetori­ cal and poetic manner and diction was often highly developed, and their comments illuminate an aspect of Thucydidean criticism which has often been neglected. Finally, each chapter of the dialogue is analyzed according to major thematic divisions and stylistic devices. The themes of the Melian Dialogue are intensifications of the general themes found throughout the History; likewise, the stylistic devices are here elevated to their highest and most sublime level. We must study each chapter— in fact, practically each word and phrase of the dialogue— in order to grasp the many-leveled, multi-partite whole with its breath-taking tragic effects of "pity and horror." A final chapter surveys some of the more important inter­ pretations of the Melian Dialogue and embodies my own conclusions. The literature on Thucydides in general and the Melian Dialogue in particular is voluminous. Modern critics have not been ignored and the bibliography provides access to the scholarly litera­ ture; but the focus of this dissertation is upon the text itself, and my major purpose and intent is to provide an intensive scrutiny of Thucydides* historical art in his treatment of this crucial episode. A stylistic approach to Thucydides is neither radical nor modern. As Marcellinus mentions in his life of Thucydides, some ancient critics considered the History more poetic than rhetorical: 3 JtepL 6e nacrnq Trfe CTOYYpa'Fl'i fexoXiirjaav xuveq 6.no<pr)vaCT0at o t l afcro to euSoq Trfe avyypacpriq obx eon firjropcxriq tXXa nocrynxriq.

CHAPTER I MELIAN HISTORY AND THE MELIAN DIALOGUE In order to understand the positions and arguments of Melos and Athens in the Melian Dialogue, the actual historical reality of their relationship must be examined. Epigraphical evidence for Melos' political relationships is meager. There exist only two inscriptions, _IG V.1.1 and ATL A9, to guide historical criticism about the place of Melos in the vacillating and nebulous network of political interrelationships which embraced the Greek world in the fifth century B.C. The only other evidence consists of a few scattered comments in Herodotus, Xenophon, Isocrates, and Plutarch, together with the Melian narra­ tive of Thucydides. Three fragments found on the Acropolis (IG 1.54 and 1.99 = IG 1^, 97) describe a naval campaign which Kirchhoff identified with the Melian expedition in 416 B.C.'*" Meritt has shown that Kirchhoff's identification is incorrect. Although there are some points of similarity between the inscription and the Thucydidean account— thirty Athenian ships, twelve hundred Athenian hoplites, and three hundred bowmen were sent in each instance— the divergencies preclude 1Adolph Kirchhoff, Inscriptiones Atticae Euclidis anno vetustiores (Berlin: Georg Reimer, 1873), p. 32; cf. Thucydides 5.84. 5 any possibility that the expeditions could have been identical: the inscription lists one hundred and fifty volunteers and peltasts whom Thucydides does not mention; Thucydides lists Chian and Lesbian ships, Athenian cavalry bowmen, and fifteen hundred allied hoplites which » *• O the inscription does not include. A mass of critical material has grown up around the only politically oriented epigraphic evidence now in existence. This study will deal primarily with the interpretation of the inscriptions themselves and their connections with literary evidence. First, the historical and epigraphic evidence will be presented in chronological order; then, this evidence will be applied to the statements found in the dialogue. 480 The independent spirit of the Melians is seen in Herodotus (8.46): the inhabitants of Seriphos, Siphnos, and Melos were the only islanders who did not offer earth and water to the Persians. The Melians furnished two penteconters at the battle of Salamis (8.48). Herodotus also notes that the Melians were descended from Lacedaemonian, i.e., Doric, stock: Mt)\lO l (aev yevoq £ovTeq dno Aaxs5at|xovoq. Even in this early piece of evidence one can see a dominant theme of the dialogue— the O Benjamin D. Meritt, "An Athenian Decree," Studies Presented to David Moore Robinson, ed. by George Mylonas and Doris Raymond (2 vols.; Saint Louis: Washington University Press, 1953), I, pp. 298- 303. 6 importance to the Melians of their Lacedaemonian heritage. 480- The names of the Greek allies who fought against the Persians 479 were written on the Delphic Serpent Column (SIG 31) and on the base of the bronze Zeus at Olympia (Pausanias 5.23, 1-2). Herodotus (8.82.1) seems to imply that the Delphic inscrip­ tion was the master copy. These listings are important be­ cause of the groupings of states: Sparta Athens Korinth Tegea Plataia Poteidaia Sikyon (Thespiai?) Leukas Aigina Keos Anaktorion Megara -*Melos-<- Ambrakia Epidauros Tenos Orchomenos Naxos Phleious Eretria Troizen Chalkis Hermione Styra Tiryns Kythnos Mykenai Siphnos Elis Lepreon Each of the columns is headed by a political power: Sparta, Athens, Corinth. Under each power her followers are listed. Melos is listed under Athens. This is not as final or decis­ ive a statement of political conduct as it may seem at first glance. As the editors of the ATL explain, . the three categories of names on the Serpent Column no doubt indicate, first, the allies who depended on Sparta direct, and next, the two "subsidiary hegemonies" of Athens and Korinth . ... the "Athenian 7 group" on the Serpent Column is composed of those Greeks whom a strategy of defending Peloponnese would plainly abandon to Persia. Melos, as Herodotus notes, made a small contribution at Salamis; she sent only two penteconters. Siphnos and Seri- phos each contributed one; Siphnos had a doubtful place on the list, and Seriphos is not mentioned. As a result, it is clear that this epigraphical material implies no formal agreement of any type between Athens and Melos. Nevertheless, eight of the eleven

    Connectivity and insularity in 1st-millennium southern Euboea: The evidence from the sanctuary of Karystos-Plakari Jan Paul CRIELAARD Filiz SONGU Περίληψη Από το 2010 στη θέση Πλακαρή της νότιας Εύβοιας κοντά στην Κάρυστο πραγματοποιείται συστημα- τική αρχαιολογική έρευνα. Το πρόγραμμα είναι μια συνεργασία του Πανεπιστημίου του Άμστερνταμ (VU) με την Εφορεία Αρχαιοτήτων Εύβοιας. Στον λόφο της Πλακαρής βρισκόταν ένας λατρευτικός χώρος που ιδρύθηκε κατά την Υπομυκηναϊκή ή την πρώιμη Πρωτογεωμετρική περίοδο. Οι λατρευτικές δραστηριότητες στη θέση εντάθηκαν κατά τη Μέση Γεωμετρική ΙΙ και Ύστερη Γεωμετρική περίοδο. Μια δεύτερη σημαντική φάση του λατρευτικού χώρου χρονολογείται στην Κλασική περίοδο – ιδιαί- τερα στον 4ο αιώνα π.Χ. – όταν ένα μικρό κτήριο για θυσιαστικές τελετουργίες (κτήριο Α) οικοδομή- θηκε σε ένα από τα άνδηρά του. Σε αυτό το άρθρο γίνεται μια επισκόπηση των αποτελεσμάτων των εργασιών που έχουν πραγμα- τοποιηθεί ως τώρα στον λόφο της Πλακαρής και μια προσπάθεια να ενταχτούν αυτά τα αποτελέσματα στο ευρύτερο γεωγραφικό και ιστορικό πλαίσιο. Σχετικά με τη λειτουργία της Πλακαρής σε διαφορε- τικά επίπεδα (τοπικό και περιφερειακό) και τη μεταβολή της θέσης της με την πάροδο των χρόνων, θα εστιάσουμε στις πληροφορίες που μπορούμε να πάρουμε από τα ευρήματα. Κατά την πρώιμη επο- χή του Σιδήρου η Πλακαρή είχε ανεπτυγμένους δεσμούς με την κεντρική Εύβοια, την ενδοχώρα της Αττικής και τον νησιωτικό κόσμο συμπεριλαμβανομένων των δυτικών παραλίων της Μικράς Ασίας. Ιστορικές πηγές αναφέρουν ότι κατά τη διάρκεια του 5ου αιώνα η Καρυστία υπέφερε πολύ από την εγγύτητά της με την ισχυρή, γειτονική Αθήνα. Όταν κατά τον 4ο αιώνα ξεκίνησε μια περίοδος ανά- καμψης, ο λατρευτικός χώρος στον λόφο της Πλακαρής ανακατασκευάστηκε, αλλά διάφορα στοιχεία του σχεδίου του υποδηλώνουν ότι οι Καρυστινοί που χρησιμοποίησαν τη θέση ενδιαφέρονταν περισ- σότερο για το παρελθόν παρά για τον κόσμο γύρω τους.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

The delay is owing to a succession of most lamentable misfortunes. Mr. M'Lennan had originally contemplated the produc. tion of a great work on early society, which should have collected and presented in a better form all his pre· viously published investigations,. together with the results of his later study, and which should in particular· have thrown some light on the origin of exogamy. Despairing, in his state of health, of ever executing this project, he decided to publish an intermediate volume to supply its place, but even this intention was frus· trated by, his death. His brother, Mr. D. M'Lennan, then took up the task, for which he was eminently fitted. He completed from Mr. J. F. M'Lennan's posthumous papers, and published in 1885, The Patri· archal Theory, a preliminary and polemical inquiry meant to clear the way, while at the same time em· vi STUDIES IN ANCIENT HISTORY bodying positive results.

  • Herodotus and Marathon
    HERODOTUS AND MARATHON J.A.S. Evans Herodotus had has own priorities when he wrote his account of Marathon. "Everyone knows that Herodotus' narrative of Marathon will not do," began A.W. Gomme, in an essay published more than thirty years ago, from which I have shamelessly borrowed my title.''' But it is our earliest and best account, and its point of view is more remarkable than most moderns have noticed. By the time Herodotus published his Histories 2 in the early years of the Archidamian War, Marathon had become the touch• stone of Athenian patriotism, and the fundament (or at least a good part of it) of her claim to be the saviour of Greece, as Herodotus himself acknowledged in the speech that he gave the Athenians at Plataea, where they claimed the honour of the left wing.^ There, at Marathon, they had stood alone against Persia and defeated forty-six nations! Yet, in Herodotus' account, what seems to have been most significant — signifi• cant enough, at least, to deserve remark — was that at Marathon, for the first, Greeks charged on the double and first dared to look without fear upon men in Persian dress (Hdt. 6.112.3). At Marathon, Persian expansionism reached its tide-mark. In fact, if we look at the structure of the Histories, it appears that Marathon, which for us is the opening battle of the Persian Wars, was, for Herodotus, simply the concluding act of the Ionian Revolt. From the start of the Histories up to the Scythian Expedition of Darius, he 1 2 dealt with Asiatic imperialism, with many geographical and ethnological excursuses.
