JACT Teachers' Notes JACT Teachers’ Notes AH 3.2 Greece in Conflict, 460-403 BC Teachers’ notes by Peter Liddel 1.1 Books and Resources There are many textbooks which cover this period in varying levels of detail. This list lists them in order of difficulty (easiest first). Note that the more difficult they get, the more closely they engage with the sources and interesting issues: General books on Greek history that cover the period: Buckley, T. (1996), Aspects of Greek History, 750-323 BC – much maligned by many Bury, J. B., & Meiggs, R. (1975), History of Greece (4th edn., MacMillan) – many of its interpretations have been challenged by more recent scholars. Orrieux, C. & Schmitt-Pantel, P. (1999), A History of Ancient Greece. Pomeroy, S.B., et al. (1999), Ancient Greece – now also available in a shorter version Textbooks concentrated on classical period: Todd, S. C. (1996), Athens and Sparta – short (and affordable), thematically arranged (not a narrative history) Davies, J. K. (2nd edn., 1993), Democracy and Classical Greece – especially chapters 5 on the Athenian Empire and 7 on the Peloponnesian War Osborne, R. (ed.) (2000), Classical Greece (Oxford Short History of Europe Series). (Hans van Wees’ chapter 4 ‘The City at War’ covers the warfare theme very well; chapter 7 by Lisa Kallet contains a lively fifth-century narrative) The most detailed narrative accounts (Hornblower’s is the one most referred to in this set of notes, and it should be regarded as essential for the teacher) Rhodes, P. J. (2005), A History of the Classical Greek World, 478-323 BC. London: Blackwells – the most complete narrative Hornblower, S. (4th edn., 2002), The Greek World, 470-323 BC – good chapters on cities other than Athens and Sparta. Cambridge Ancient History – vol. 5 (2nd edn, 1992) covers the fifth century, Other relevant collections: Samons, L. (2007), The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles. Note especially chapter 4 on warfare and chapter 11 on the Peloponnesian War Kinzl, K. (2006), A Companion to the Classical Greek World. Expensive but excellent on overviews of sources and themes, but not a huge amount of detailed narrative. Excellent for cultural, social and geographical context. Maps: Maps are vitally important for understanding Greek conflict. Eveday, C. M., (1967) Penguin Ancient History Atlas. Hammond, N. G. L. (1981) Atlas of the Greek and Roman world in antiquity. 1 JACT Teachers’ Notes Levi, P., (1984), Atlas of the Greek World, Oxford. Talbert, R. J. A., (1984) Atlas of classical history The internet can be usefully deployed. It is possible, for instance, to get a better understanding of the location of cities like Megara, Argos and Corinth via Google It is also possible to get a good view of the plain upon which the battle of Mantinea was fought (and one can clearly discern the walls of the polis of Mantinea) simply by searching for ‘Mantinea’ through Google Maps. Warfare: One of the focuses of this unit is conflict, and so it is worth mentioning some texts for those interested in this aspect of the subject. Note that some of the textbooks already mentioned (those of Osborne, Kinzl, Samons) have sections dedicated to warfare: Sage, M., (1996) Warfare in Ancient Greece. A Sourcebook Van Wees, H. (2004), Greek Warfare. Myths and Realities Low, P. (2007), Interstate Relations in Classical Greece – a landmark study of interstate ethics and morality 2 JACT Teachers’ Notes 1.2 Introduction to Sources Thucydides and Xenophon – translations available in Penguin, but note also The Landmark Thucydides, ed. By R. Strassler, with maps, notes, appendices and index. Thucydides’ ‘history of the war fought between the Peloponnesians and Athenians’ (Thuc. 1.1) and Xenophon’s Hellenika (Greek History) are the primary sources for this unit. Thucydides’ work is a history of what is now called the Peloponnesian War (viz. the conflict of 431-04), but book 1 is spent explaining its origins. Thucydides’ explanation of the war (his alethestate prophasis – truest explanation) is that the growth of Athenian power led to Spartan fear (Thuc. 1.23). This means that he has to explain that growth of Athenian power, and what he gives as explanation (commonly known as the Pentekontaetia (‘the fifty-year period’) is roughly an account of the fluctuations in Athenian fortunes in her inter-state relations of the period 479-c. 435 BC). What this provides is a patchy and Athenocentric account of Greek conflicts of this era, but one which is unparalleled in coverage (though, for a list of events that Thucydides omits, see A. W. Gomme, A Historical Commentary on Thucydides, volume 1, 365-70). Thucydides’ history ends abruptly shortly after an account of an Athenian victory in 411 BC, and Xenophon’s Hellenika picks up the narrative with an account of the war in the Hellespont. Thucydides can be read usefully with a number of commentaries, but note that the first two of these comment on the Greek text (Hornblower, however, at least translates the passages on which he comments): Gomme, A.W., Dover. K.J. & Andrewes, A. (1945-81), A Historical Commentary on Thucydides, 5 vols. – this contains an introduction in vol. 1 Hornblower, S. (1991-2008), A Commentary on Thucydides, 3 vols. Note that the best general introductions to Thuc. are in vol. 2 Cartwright, D. (1997), A Historical Commentary on Thucydides: a companion to Rex Warner’s Penguin translation. Bristol Classical Press companions to the Penguin translation by T. Wiedemann (books 1-2.65), N. Rutter (books 3-5), and Rutter (books 6-7). There are few commentaries on Xenophon’s Hellenika, but note: Krentz, P. (1989-), Commentary on Xenophon’s Hellenika: 2 vols. so far published, covering books 1.1.1-2.3.10 and 2.3.11-4.3.8. The first of these is relevant to the period to 404 BC As for general introductions to the works of these historians, note the following: Cawkwell, G. (1997), Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War. Dover, K. J. (1973), Thucydides (Greece & Rome, New Surveys in the Classics, no. 7) Hornblower, S. (1987), Thucydides Luce, T. J., (1997), The Greek Historians, chapters 4-5. Cawkwell, G.,(1997), Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War – important for analysis of Thucydides and for unravelling aspects of the Peloponnesian war. 3 JACT Teachers’ Notes Pelling, C., (2000), Literary Texts and the Greek Historian – chapter 4 on the siege of Plataia, chapter 5 on the causes of the war are extremely subtle readings of Thucydides Ste Croix, G. E. M. de (1972), The Origins of the Peloponnesian War Zagorin, P. (2005), Thucydides: an introduction for the common reader. Princeton: Princeton University Press. Anderson, J.K. (1974), Xenophon Plutarch: Plutarch’s Lives are extremely useful for the history of this period (Plutarch’s Great Men were often those who won fame by performing well in conflict) and the most important ones are collected in the Penguin, The Rise and Fall of Athens. This contains the Lives of late-fifth-century figures, such as the Athenians Pericles, Nicias, Alcibiades, and the Spartan Lysander. For discussion of his accounts of Nicias and Alcibiades, see chapter 3 of Pelling’s Literary Texts and the Greek Historian Aristophanes: The comic playwright of the fifth (and late-fourth) century BC is very useful for Athenian political life and also the impact of warfare on it: note in particular Acharnians, Knights, Wasps, Birds and Lysistrata. Translations are available in a number of Penguin Classics, but note also the texts available on the Perseus website. Summaries (often highlighting the historical perspectives offered by the plays can be found in D. MacDowell, Aristophanes and Athens. Inscriptional evidence and other sources: Stone (often marble) and bronze inscriptions say to us a huge amount about inter-state relations: they record treaties and (usually with formulaic, sometimes with particular, details of the alliance), commemorate the war dead, and sometimes victories, mark dedications of spoils to the gods, although the decision to go to war with another community was rarely written down on a permanent medium. For their significance for the ancient historian, see Claire Taylor in Omnibus 54. Inscriptions are collected in the sourcebooks (see below; especially Fornara, translating Meiggs and Lewis’ Greek Historical Inscriptions (which will be replaced at some point in the next few years by a new collection of fifth-century inscriptions (with translation and commentary) by Rhodes and Osborne). Inscriptional and other ancient information on the Athenian Empire is collected in LACTOR 1; on Athenian Radical Democracy in LACTOR 5, and on the Culture of Athens in LACTOR 12. A LACTOR on ancient Sparta, edited by Dr Maria Pretzler of Swansea University will appear at some point in the next few years. Sourcebooks: Fornara, C. W. (1983), Archaic Times to the End of the Peloponnesian War – focus on inscriptions and the more obscure texts Crawford, M.H. & Whitehead, D. (1983), Archaic and Classical Greece. Rhodes, P. (2008), The Greek City States (2nd edition) - wide ranging Dillon, M. and Garland, L., (2000) Ancient Greece (2nd edition) 4 JACT Teachers’ Notes 1.2 Background Information A casualty list of the Erechtheid tribe of Athens dating to c. 459 BC reads as follows (LACTOR 14 42=Fornara 79=ML 33): ‘Of Erechtheis these died in the war, in Cyprus, in Egypt, in Phoenicia, at Haleis, on Aegina, at Megara, in the same year’. This document surely was a deliberate statement, set up by a subdivision of the Athenian polis of Athenian polypragmosune (many-sided activity). The Athenians were fighting on at least two fronts at the same time in this period: in the short-term it was a disastrous policy for the Athenians, but this kind of activity meant that to a significant degree, the history of conflict in the Greek world in this period is a history of Athenian conflicts and diplomacy with other states.

  • The Fleet of Syracuse (480-413 BCE)
    ANDREAS MORAKIS The Fleet of Syracuse (480-413 BCE) The Deinomenids The ancient sources make no reference to the fleet of Syracuse until the be- ginning of the 5th century BCE. In particular, Thucydides, when considering the Greek maritime powers at the time of the rise of the Athenian empire, includes among them the tyrants of Sicily1. Other sources refer more precisely to Gelon’s fleet, during the Carthaginian invasion in Sicily. Herodotus, when the Greeks en- voys asked for Gelon’s help to face Xerxes’ attack, mentions the lord of Syracuse promising to provide, amongst other things, 200 triremes in return of the com- mand of the Greek forces2. The same number of ships is also mentioned by Ti- maeus3 and Ephorus4. It is very odd, though, that we hear nothing of this fleet during the Carthaginian campaign and the Battle of Himera in either the narration of Diodorus, or the briefer one of Herodotus5. Nevertheless, other sources imply some kind of naval fighting in Himera. Pausanias saw offerings from Gelon and the Syracusans taken from the Phoenicians in either a sea or a land battle6. In addition, the Scholiast to the first Pythian of Pindar, in two different situations – the second one being from Ephorus – says that Gelon destroyed the Carthaginians in a sea battle when they attacked Sicily7. 1 Thuc. I 14, 2: ὀλίγον τε πρὸ τῶν Μηδικῶν καὶ τοῦ ∆αρείου θανάτου … τριήρεις περί τε Σικελίαν τοῖς τυράννοις ἐς πλῆθος ἐγένοντο καὶ Κερκυραίοις. 2 Hdt. VII 158. 3 Timae. FGrHist 566 F94= Polyb. XII 26b, 1-5, but the set is not the court of Gelon, but the conference of the mainland Greeks in Corinth.

  • Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta
    Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta Stephen Hodkinson University of Manchester 1. Introduction The image of the liberated Spartiate woman, exempt from (at least some of) the social and behavioral controls which circumscribed the lives of her counterparts in other Greek poleis, has excited or horrified the imagination of commentators both ancient and modern.1 This image of liberation has sometimes carried with it the idea that women in Sparta exercised an unaccustomed influence over both domestic and political affairs.2 The source of that influence is ascribed by certain ancient writers, such as Euripides (Andromache 147-53, 211) and Aristotle (Politics 1269b12-1270a34), to female control over significant amounts of property. The male-centered perspectives of ancient writers, along with the well-known phenomenon of the “Spartan mirage” (the compound of distorted reality and sheer imaginative fiction regarding the character of Spartan society which is reflected in our overwhelmingly non-Spartan sources) mean that we must treat ancient images of women with caution. Nevertheless, ancient perceptions of their position as significant holders of property have been affirmed in recent modern studies.3 The issue at the heart of my paper is to what extent female property-holding really did translate into enhanced status and influence. In Sections 2-4 of this paper I shall approach this question from three main angles. What was the status of female possession of property, and what power did women have directly to manage and make use of their property? What impact did actual or potential ownership of property by Spartiate women have upon their status and influence? And what role did female property-ownership and status, as a collective phenomenon, play within the crisis of Spartiate society? First, however, in view of the inter-disciplinary audience of this volume, it is necessary to a give a brief outline of the historical context of my discussion.

  • Theopompus's Philippica
    chapter five Theopompus’s Philippica heopompus of Chios (FGrHist 115) was widely renowned in antiq- T uity for the severity with which he condemned the moral faults of the characters peopling his Philippica. Few indeed escaped the scathing vigor of his pen. Despite his family’s exile from Chios, Theopompus seems to have had the necessary funds to carry out thorough research (TT 20 and 28,FF25, 26 and 181) and did not have to work for a living, but was able to devote himself wholly to his writing.1 Because he was in no need of either patronage or an income, he had the freedom to write whatever he pleased without risk of losing his livelihood by causing offense. It is per- haps for this reason that he was known in antiquity as “a lover of the truth” (φιλαληθης )(T28). We must now determine whether or not this epithet was justified in Theopompus’s use of the past in the Philippica. In addition to his numerous epideictic speeches, Theopompus wrote three known historical works: an epitome of Herodotus, a Hellenica, and a Philippica.2 It is likely the epitome of Herodotus was Theopompus’s earliest 1. A recent discussion of the (very vague and contradictory) evidence for Theopompus’s life can be found in Michael Attyah Flower, Theopompus of Chios: History and Rhetoric in the Fourth Century BC (Oxford: Clarendon, 1994), 11–25. 2.

This term has been commonly applied by modern scholars to four wars which took place in ancient Greece between- the sixth and fourth centuries B. C. The modern use of "the attribute "Sacred War" to refer to these four wars in particular raises two questions. First, did the ancient historians give all four of these wars the title "Sacred War?" And second, what justified the use of this title only for certain conflicts? In order to resolve the first of these questions, it is necessary to examine in what terms the ancient historians referred to these wars.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

  • A-Level Classical Civilisation Mark Scheme Unit
    AS-LEVEL Classical Civilisation CIV2D Athenian Imperialism Mark scheme 2020 June 2015 Version 1.0 Final Mark Scheme Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

  • Spartans a New History Pdf
    Spartans a new history pdf Continue For those who study or teach the ancient world but are not a disciple of ancient Sparta, Nigel Kennell has written a paper to bridge the gap between Sparta's general concept and what experts believe. He argues that this is appropriate, given the fact that while the myth of Sparta is slowly collapsing (graphic novels and films like 300 might suggest otherwise), the new picture is far more fragmentary and complex than we might imagine. Kennenell's book tries to emphasize advances in our knowledge, reconcile, where possible, contradictory explanations, and often recognize that the state of our knowledge excludes consistent and convincing conclusions. The book begins with a brief discussion of the geography/topography of the region; the brevity of this section is perhaps the clearest indicator of the lack of systematic archaeology in the region. The more well-known and subject of most of the chapter are the twelve main sources of written or epigraphic evidence that Cannell examines (and evaluates) in chronological order. While all literary sources have contributed to the Spartan myth, Cannell acknowledges that Plutarch is probably the main culprit. The second chapter, the Sons of Hercules, tries to reconcile conflicts in the myths of Spartan origin with the evidence presented by archaeology. Cannell argues that, while the Spartans themselves may have reconciled Heraclid's return to Dorian's invasion, archaeological records and linguistic evidence are milit against a consistent explanation. Kennell is more confident in the archaeological records of the eighth century, during which, he said, Laconia was and remained sparsely populated, almost exclusively in the settlements of the Eurotas Valley in Sparta and Aiklae.

  • Ideals and Pragmatism in Greek Military Thought 490-338 Bc
    Roel Konijnendijk IDEALS AND PRAGMATISM IN GREEK MILITARY THOUGHT 490-338 BC PhD Thesis – Ancient History – UCL I, Roel Konijnendijk, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Thesis Abstract This thesis examines the principles that defined the military thinking of the Classical Greek city-states. Its focus is on tactical thought: Greek conceptions of the means, methods, and purpose of engaging the enemy in battle. Through an analysis of historical accounts of battles and campaigns, accompanied by a parallel study of surviving military treatises from the period, it draws a new picture of the tactical options that were available, and of the ideals that lay behind them. It has long been argued that Greek tactics were deliberately primitive, restricted by conventions that prescribed the correct way to fight a battle and limited the extent to which victory could be exploited. Recent reinterpretations of the nature of Greek warfare cast doubt on this view, prompting a reassessment of tactical thought – a subject that revisionist scholars have not yet treated in detail. This study shows that practically all the assumptions of the traditional model are wrong. Tactical thought was constrained chiefly by the extreme vulnerability of the hoplite phalanx, its total lack of training, and the general’s limited capacity for command and control on the battlefield. Greek commanders, however, did not let any moral rules get in the way of possible solutions to these problems. Battle was meant to create an opportunity for the wholesale destruction of the enemy, and any available means were deployed towards that goal.
