Sparta, and Thebes have fallen; two peoples, hitherto unknown, now enter upon the stage which has been left vacant, but is narrowed and strewn with ruins. — the Achaians and the Aitolians. The northern shore of the Peloponnesos is a narrow strip of ground enclosed between the Gulf of Corinth and the chain of mountains which bound Arkadia on the north. Its fertility is in no way remarkable except near Sikyon. Its streams, very numerous. descend in straight lines from the mountains to the coast.

Achaia cannot be congratulated on having remained outside of tile national struggle against the Persians, and it would have pleased her if Sparta and Athens had left her the repose she loved. This was cruelly interrupted by the Peloponnesian war, which tolerated no neutrals. Patras declared for Athens, Pellene for Sparta; and the Dorian influence extended over the other cities. The confed- eration was already endangered. It was still further imperilled ENTRANCl TO THE cell OF CORINTH.1 when the kings of Macedon came, who appeared to wish to punish the Achaians for having fought against them at Chaironeia with Athens, and in 330 b. c. at Mantineia with Sparta.

"The first cities that united were Dyme, Patras, Tritaia, and Pharai. Five years after, the people of Aigai put to death their Macedonian garrison and joined the con- federacy. Then the Bouraians destroyed their tyrant, and the tyrant of Keryneia abdicated. Leontion, Aigeira, and Pellene completed the union of the Achaian cities. But this confede- ration was still very feeble until Aratos introduced into it the important city of Sikyon." (Poly bios.) Sikyon had formerly been governed by the Dorian aristocracy. The fall of that party was followed by a prolonged state of dis- order, out of which at last emerged tyrants. On the death of one of these, Kleon, the city n covered her independence, and placed the gov- ernment in the hands of two esteemed citizens, bbonzb conr.* Timokles and Kleinias.

It was easy to provide arms without suspicion, for almost everybody went armed, by reason of the frequent robberies, and the incursions of one people into the territories of another.

  • The Roles of Solon in Plato's Dialogues
    The Roles of Solon in Plato’s Dialogues Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Ortencio Flores, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Bruce Heiden, Advisor Anthony Kaldellis Richard Fletcher Greg Anderson Copyrighy by Samuel Ortencio Flores 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Plato’s use and adaptation of an earlier model and tradition of wisdom based on the thought and legacy of the sixth-century archon, legislator, and poet Solon. Solon is cited and/or quoted thirty-four times in Plato’s dialogues, and alluded to many more times. My study shows that these references and allusions have deeper meaning when contextualized within the reception of Solon in the classical period. For Plato, Solon is a rhetorically powerful figure in advancing the relatively new practice of philosophy in Athens. While Solon himself did not adequately establish justice in the city, his legacy provided a model upon which Platonic philosophy could improve. Chapter One surveys the passing references to Solon in the dialogues as an introduction to my chapters on the dialogues in which Solon is a very prominent figure, Timaeus- Critias, Republic, and Laws. Chapter Two examines Critias’ use of his ancestor Solon to establish his own philosophic credentials. Chapter Three suggests that Socrates re- appropriates the aims and themes of Solon’s political poetry for Socratic philosophy. Chapter Four suggests that Solon provides a legislative model which Plato reconstructs in the Laws for the philosopher to supplant the role of legislator in Greek thought.

(from Hart Crane’s Voyages, II) For Mom and Dad ii Acknowledgments I fear that what follows this preface will appear quite like one of the disorderly monsters it investigates. But should you find anything in this work compelling on account of its being lucid, know that I am not responsible. Not long ago, you see, I was brought up on charges of obscurantisme, although the only “terroristic” aspects of it were self- directed—“Vous avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot.”1 But I’ve been rehabilitated, or perhaps, like Aphrodite in Iliad 5 (if you buy my reading), habilitated for the first time, to the joys of clearer prose. My committee is responsible for this, especially my chair Richard Janko and he who first intervened, Benjamin Fortson. I thank them. If something in here should appear refined, again this is likely owing to the good taste of my committee. And if something should appear peculiarly sensitive, empathic even, then it was the humanity of my committee that enabled, or at least amplified, this, too.

  • Viticulture: Table Wine and Grape Varieties
    New Agriculture for a New Generation: Recharging Greek Youth to Revitalize the Agriculture and Food Sector of the Greek Economy Viticulture, Table & Wine Grapes Varieties Coordinator: Dr. Christos Vasilikiotis, Assistant Professor Project Leader: Konstantinos Zoukidis, Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher Team members: Dr. Eleni Topalidou, Lecturer & Researcher Michalis Genitsariotis, Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher Dr. Ilias Kalfas, Researcher Executive summary Greece is experiencing the consequences of the hardest financial crisis of its history. The economic crisis in Greece, have a great impact on unemployment and as a result companies are out of business and many people especially young ones are unemployed. In addition, economic crisis, from one hand leads more and more people, special young people with many skills to leave from Greece to other countries and from the other hand, turns young unemployed people to the agricultural sector. The current project’s aim is to determine the potential of viticulture, table and grape varieties in Greece could be an answer for recharging youth and if this sector could improve the national economy and reverse this negative trend. Grape cultivation and wine making have a distinguished place in the history of Western civilization. The ancient Greeks gave an importance to wine, which greatly exceeded its role as a beverage. The production of wine and table grape has been an important part of Greek culture for many centuries. Nowadays Greece holds the 13th place on vineyard surface area. It is one of the first table grape producing (4th) countries in Europe, first producer of currants (Black Corinth) of the world production and eighth exported country in dried grapes worldwide.
