Searching for the Temple of Athena Areia at Plataea Chikako Sugawara Searching for the Temple of Athena Areia at Plataea Chikako Sugawara Ancient literary sources: Plutarch: Aristeides: 20. 3 Ο‘ύτω δε διαλλαγέντες εξειλον ογδοήκονωτα τάλαντα τοις Πλαταιευσιν, αφ’ το της ’Αθηνας ανωικoδόμησαν ‘ιερόν και το’έδος έστησαν και γραφαις τον νεών διεκόσμησαν, α’ί μέχρι νυν ακμάζουσαι διαμένουσιν. Thus reconciled, they chose out eighty talents of the booty for the Plataeans, with which they rebuilt the sanctuary of Athena, and set up the shrine , and adorned the temple with frescoes, which continue in perfect condition to the present day. ( LCL Plutarch’s Lives II: Aristides, translation by B. Perrin, 1959) Pausanias Description of Greece: 9. 4. 1 Πλαταιευς δε Αθηνας επίκλησιν ’Αρείας εστίν ‘ιερόν . ’ωικοδομήθη δε από λαφύρων ‘ά της μάχης σφίσιν ’Αθηναιοι της Μαραθωνι απένειμαν. Τό μέν δή ’άγαλμα ξόανόν εστιν επίχρυσον, πρόσωπον δέ ‘οι και χειρες άκραι και πόδες λίθου του Πεντελησίου εισί. Μέγεθος μεν ου πολύ δή τι αποδει της εν ακροπόλει χαλκής, ‘ήν και αυτήν ’Αθηναιοι του Μαραθωνι απαρχήν αγωνος ανέθηκαν, Φειδίας δε και Πλαταιευσιν ην ‘ο της ’Αθηνας το ’άγαλμα ποιήσας . The Plataeans have also a sanctuary of Athena surnamed Warlike; it was built from the spoils given them by the Athenians as their share from the battle of Marathon. The Plataeans too had Pheidias for the maker of their image of Athena. It was a wooden image gilded, face, hands and feet are of Pentelic marble; in size it is but little smaller than the bronze Athena on the Acropolis; In the temple are paintings: one by Polygnotus represents Odysseus after he has killed the wooers; the other painted by Onasias is the former expedition of the Argives, under Adrastus against Thebes. These paintings are on the walls of the fore-temple; at the feet of the image is a portrait of Arimnestus, who commanded the Plataeans at the battle against Mardonius, and yet before that at Marathon. ( LCL: Pausanias Description of Greece IV , translation W. H. S. Jones, 1955) Herodotus ‘Ηροδόυου ‘Ιστορίαι VI. 108: 1 ’Αθηναίοισι δε τεταγμένοισι εν τεμένει ‘Ηρακλέος επηλθον βοηθέοντες Πλαταιέες πανδημεί. (A few days before (Sept 3) the Battle of Marathon broke out (Sept 11/12, 490 BC)) The whole power of the Plataεans came to Marathon to aid the Athenians, when they were arrayed in the precinct of Herakles. (Herodotus explains the situations why the Plataians came to Marathon.) Καί γάρ καί εδεδώκεσαν σφέας αυτούς τοισι ’Αθηναίοισι ο‘ι Πλαταιέες, καί πόνους ‘υπέρ αυτων ο‘ι ’Αθηναιοι συχνούς ήδη αναραιρέατο. Because once (519 BC) the Plataians had put themselves under the protection of Athens, and thence the Athenians had taken upon them many labours for their protection. Κλεομένης. (Kleomenes’ advice to the Plataeans) ‘Συμβούλευομεν δε ‘υμιν δουναι ‘υμέας αυτούς ’Αθηναίοισι πλησιοχώροισι τε ανδράσι και τιμωρέειν εουσι κακοισι.’ Λακεδαιμόνιοι μεν νυν Πλαταιευσι ταυτα συνεβούλευον Kleomenes advised them: ‘We council you to put yourselves in the protection of the Athenians, who are your neighbours, and can defend you right well.’ O‘ί Πλαταιέες δε ουκ ηπίστησαν, αλλ’ Αθηναίων ‘ιρά ποιεύντων τοισι δυώδεκα θεοισι ‘ικέται ‘ιζόμενοι επί των βωμόν εδίδοσαν σφέας αυτούς.. The Plataeans obeyed it, and when the Athenians were sacrificing to the Twelve Gods they came as suppliants and sat them down by the altar, and so put themselves under protection. Herodotus Βοοκ VI, 111: in the Battle of Marathon Τελευταιοι δε ετάσαντο έχοντες το ευώνυμον κέρας Πλαtaιέες. Από ταύτης γάρ σφι της μάχης, ’Αθηναιων θυσίας αναγόντων ες τάς εν τηισι πεντετηρίσι γινομένας, κατεύχεται ‘ο κηρυξ ‘ο Αθηναιος ‘άμα τε Αθηναίοισι λέγων γίνεσθαι τά αγαθά καί Πλαταιευσι. Last of all the Plataeans were posted on the left wing. Ever since that fight, when the Athenians bring sacrifices to the assemblies that are held at the five-yearly festivals (the Great Panathenaia), the Athenian herald prays that all blessings may be granted to the Athenians and the Plataians alike. Herodotus Βοοκ VI. 112: the decisive Running Attack for the Victory over the Persians 2 Ενθαυτα ‘ως απείθησαν ‘όι Αθηναιοι δρόμωι ‘ίεντο ες τούς βαρβάρους. Ησαν δε στάδιοι ουκ ελάσσονες τό μεταίχμιον αυτων ή οκτώ. ’Αθηναιοι δε επείτε αθρόοι προσέμιξαν τοισι βαρβάροισι, εμάχοντο αξίως λόγου. Πρωτοι μέν γάρ ‘Ελλήνων πάντων των ‘ημεις ίδομεν δρόμωι ες πολεμίους εχρήσαντο. Straightway the Athenians were let go and charged the Persians at a run. There were between armies a space of not less than eight stadia/ furlongs. The Athenians, closing all together with the Persians, charged their enemies at a run. (1 stadia = c.180m) (the Athenians in this context imply the 10,000 Athenian hoplites & the 1,000 Plataean hoplites) Book VI, 113: Μαχομένων δε εν τωι Μαραθωνι χρόνος εγίνετο πολλός. Το δε κέρας ‘εκάτερον ενίκων ’Αθηναιοί τε και Πλατιέες.. ενίκηωντες ’Αθηναιοι, φεύγουσι δέ τοισι Πέρσηισι ε‘ίποντο κόπτοντες, ες την θάλασσαν απικόμενοι πυρ τε αίτεον και επέλαμβανοντο των νεων. For a long time they fought at Marathon. On either wing the Athenians & the Plataeans were victorious. Here the Athenians had the victory, and followed after the Persians in their flight down to the sea. ( LCL Herodotus III Book VI, translation by A.D. Godley, 1957) Reference M.

Now, Thank be to God, indeed! I have been studying, investigating the most significant influential, effectual, innovative, revolutionary events in the history of Athens, of the Greek history, of Europe, and the World history as well: the Greek Victories at the Battle of Marathon, the Battle of Salamis and at the Battle of Plataea over the enormous ‘invincible’ Persian army. Reserving this significant theme later, the original subject of this research is first considered. Searching for the Temple of Athena Areia at Plataia Show the topographical conditions of the far spread fertile Plataean Plateau to understand: (at the end colour photos display the far spread Plateau) Q1: Why Mardonios chose the Plataean plateau for the battlefield?: Hoping the Persian victory by the full use of his cavelry. Q2:Why the Thebans demanded the Plataeans to become member of the Boeotian Federatiοn even attacking by force for their rejection of the demand?: To annex the far spread fertile plateau to the Theban territory and rule over all the inhabitants as its subjects/ slaves collecting their products, as orient–despots do.

  • Food and the Philosophy of Empire: Herodotus 9.82
    Food and the Philosophy of Empire: Herodotus 9.82 After the Battle of Plataea, Herodotus relates an anecdote about Pausanias’ reaction to Persian wealth. When he comes across Xerxes’ tent, he has the Persian slaves prepare a typical meal of the Persian elite. He then has his own slaves prepare a traditional Spartan meal. Pausanias is amused at the difference and calls the Greeks together, saying “my purpose in asking you all here is to show you how stupid the Persian king is. Look at the way he lives and then consider that he invaded our country to rob us of our meager portions!” (9.82). Scholarly response to this scene has been two-fold. First, Herodotus has Pausanias set up a display that proves one of the main themes of the Histories: that soft countries should not attack hard ones (Bowie 2003, Vasunia 2009). Second, the scene, along with Pausanias’ laughter, serves to foreshadow Pausanias’ eventual Medizing (Fornara 1971; Lateiner 1989). I propose that Herodotus includes this scene in order to highlight cultural difference and to show that Pausanias takes the wrong lesson from the Persian meal. His misinterpretation foreshadows not only his own downfall, but also problems in how Sparta exercises power. Herodotus creates a strong association between food and power in his presentation of the Persians (Munson 2001). When Croesus wants to attack the Persians, his advisor Sandanis warns him against it because the Persians’ “food consists of what they can get, not what they want” (1.71). If Croesus wins, he will gain nothing from it; but if he loses, he will lose everything.

  • The Myth of the War of the Seven and Pausanias’ Educational Topography*
    THE MYTH OF THE WAR OF THE SEVEN AND PAUSANIAS’ EDUCATIONAL TOPOGRAPHY* Andrej Yu. MOZHAJSKY The article examines the monuments of Thebes mentioned by Pausanias and related to the story of Seven against Thebes. It is claimed that these monuments were a part of the local educational practice, which reflected the Theban mythical history and fostered patriotism. Most of the monuments were located near the gates of the Kadmeia (at a distance of up to 260 m) and formed a close circle of monuments. In some cases, the monuments formed a far circle (at a distance of 300 to 500–960 m from the gates). The first of the mon- uments considered is the monument associated with Amphiaraos. Regarding the place where the earth swallowed Amphiaraos, there exist two traditions, namely the “Theban” and the “Tanagrian” ones. It is hypothesized that the “Tanagrian” tradition was adapted by the residents of Oropos and, thus, reflected in Euripides’ tragedy The Phoenician Women. The educational topography of Pausanias shows that the “Theban” version is consistent with the text of Aischylos’ tragedy Seven against Thebes, while the “Tanagrian” version is con- sistent with the text of The Phoenician Women by Euripides. The lo- cation of the tombs of Melanippos and Tydeus near the Proitides gates also corresponds to the tradition captured by Aischylos, which presumably reflects the local, or “Theban”, version of the myth. Through Pausanias’ educational topography, the connection of the figure of Kapaneus with the Elektrai Gates and the walls of Thebes is emphasized, which is confirmed by the evidence of material culture.

  • Oracular Prophecy and Psychology in Ancient Greek Warfare
    ORACULAR PROPHECY AND PSYCHOLOGY IN ANCIENT GREEK WARFARE Peter McCallum BA (Hons) MA A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Wales Trinity Saint David June 2017 Director of Studies: Dr Errietta Bissa Second Supervisor: Dr Kyle Erickson Abstract This thesis examines the role of oracular divination in warfare in Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greece, and assesses the extent to which it affected the psychology and military decision-making of ancient Greek poleis. By using a wide range of ancient literary, epigraphical, archaeological, and iconographical evidence and relevant modern scholarship, this thesis will fully explore the role of the Oracle in warfare, especially the influence of the major Oracles at Delphi, Dodona, Olympia, Didyma, and Ammon on the foreign policies and military strategies of poleis and their psychological preparation for war; as well as the effect of oracular prophecies on a commander’s decision- making and tactics on the battlefield, and on the psychology and reactions of soldiers before and during battle. This thesis contends that oracular prophecy played a fundamental and integral part in ancient Greek warfare, and that the act of consulting the Oracles, and the subsequent prognostications issued by the Oracles, had powerful psychological effects on both the polis citizenry and soldiery, which in turn had a major influence and impact upon military strategy and tactics, and ultimately on the outcome of conflicts in the ancient Greek world. Declarations/Statements DECLARATION This work has not previously been accepted in substance for any degree and is not being concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree.

  • Battle at Plataea Interesting Facts
    Battle at Plataea Reason for Conflict: The Persian Army invaded Athens and there was a lot of back and forth with taking the city. Eventually, the Persians began to invade on the city, forcing the Athenians to evacuate. The Athenian generals went to Sparta and told them that if they didn’t help drive the out of their city that they would join the Persians. The Spartans eventually joined forces with them but arriving in ​ Sparta, the Athenians were surprised to learn that an army was already on the move. Date and Location ­ August 479 BC was the date of the battle ­ was the final land battle during the second persian invasion ­ fought near the city of Plataea in Boeotia ­ Participants: Greek city state alliances which included Sparta, Athens, Corinth, and Megaria Outcome: ­ Persians were defeated by the superior phalanx of the Spartans ­ Athenians captured the Persian camp ­ Persia loses control of Attica and Boeotia ­ The Greeks collected the items they had looted ­ allied Greek fleet defeated the Persian naval army that had landed at Mykale ­ this secured the Greek mainland from Persian invasion, even though the war against Xerxes would continue for a while Interesting Facts: A bronze column in the shape of intertwined snakes (the Serpent column) was created ​ ​ from melted­down Persian weapons, acquired in the plunder of the Persian camp, and was erected at Delphi. I​ t commemorated all the Greek city­states that had participated in ​ ​ ​ the battle. Constantine the Great brought this victory monument to the hippodrome of ​ Constantinople, where it still stands. The column once carried a golden tripod with the ​ inscription, that is dubiously attributed to the poet Simonides: “This is the gift the saviors of far­flung Hellas upraised here, Having delivered their states from loathsome slavery's bonds” People of the battle of Plataea: Xerxes was the king of persia at time of the battle of Plataea, he ruled from 386 bce until his assassination at 465 bce.

  • The Persian Wars
    The Persian Wars Section 1 — Introduction In the 400s B.C.E., the vast Persian Empire extended from the Middle East and northeastern Africa to modern-day Pakistan. The Persians wanted to claim Greece as well. In the 400s B.C.E., the vast Persian Empire extended from the Middle East and northeastern Africa to modern-day Pakistan. The Persians wanted to claim Greece as well. Athens and Sparta were two very different city-states in ancient Greece. Their differences sometimes led to a distrust of each other. But between 499 and 479 B.C.E., these city-states had a common enemy—the Persian Empire. At that time, Persia was the largest empire the world had ever seen. Its powerful kings ruled over lands in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. During the 400s B.C.E., the Persians invaded Greece, and the Persian wars began. To fight the Persians, the Greek city-states eventually joined together as allies. Allies are states that agree to help each other against a common enemy. Compared with Persia, these tiny Greek city-states had much less land and far fewer people. How could they possibly turn back such a powerful invader? In this chapter, you will learn about important battles during the Persian wars and discover who won them. You will also learn about the factors that influenced the outcome of the Persian wars. The Persian Wars Section 2 — The Persian Empire and the Ionian Revolt The Persians started out as a small group of nomads, in what is now Iran. They built a large empire by conquering neighbors.

Statius' use of language has often been characterised as recherché, mannered and allusive and his style is often associated with Alexandrian poetic practice. For this reason, Statius' use of patronymics may be overlooked by commentators as an example of learned obscurantism and deliberate literary self- fashioning as a doctus poeta. In my thesis, I argue that Statius' use of patronymics reflects a tension within the poem about the role and value of genealogy. At times genealogy is an ennobling feature of the hero, affirming his military command or royal authority. At other times, a lineage is perverse as Statius repeatedly plays on the tragedy of generational stigma and the liability of paternity. Sometimes, Statius points to the failure of the son to match the character of his father, and other times he presents characters without fathers and this has implications for how these characters are to be interpreted.

The peaks in this region, which are covered with a forest of pine, rise to heights of over seven hundred meters above sea level, their sides are steep and often precipitous, and they are separated by deep valleys in which flow the two streams, the Kokkini and the Sarandapotamos, which unite to form the Eleusinian Kephissos just before they emerge from the hills into the coastal plain (figs.
