G. L. Hammond TUDENTS of ancient history sometimes fall into the error of read­ Sing their history backwards. They assume that the features of a fully developed institution were already there in its earliest form. Something similar seems to have happened recently in the study of the early Attic theatre. Thus T. B. L. Webster introduces his excellent list of monuments illustrating tragedy and satyr-play with the following sentences: "Nothing, except the remains of the old Dionysos temple, helps us to envisage the earliest tragic background. The references to the plays of Aeschylus are to the lines of the Loeb edition. I am most grateful to G. S. Kirk, H. D. F. Kitto, D. W. Lucas, F. H. Sandbach, B. A. Sparkes and Homer Thompson for their criticisms, which have contributed greatly to the final form of this article. The students of the Classical Society at Bristol produce a Greek play each year, and on one occasion they combined with the boys of Bristol Grammar School and the Cathedral School to produce Aeschylus' Oresteia; they have made me think about the problems of staging.

    Greece(12th century b.c.e-600c.e) By: Lily Gardner Geographic Impact on Society ❖ Located on a small peninsula and were divided deeply by steep mountains and valleys ❖ Geography contributed to its political organization ❖ City-states fought a lot because they didn’t have a common enemy ❖ They didn’t have good land for farming so they ate food from the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea ❖ Peninsula’s provide good protection, so ancient Greece was able to protect themselves Political System and Impact on Society ❖ In early greek history only the wealthy and noble men had the rights of full citizenship, such as speaking and voting in the assembly, holding public office, and fighting in the army ❖ Slowly, the men in lower class began to get these rights as they could purchase the armor and weapons ❖ Tyrants appeared for a time, and they even had the support of the lower class because they wanted to challenge the rights of the wealthy ❖ Political authority was given to its Council of Elders made of 28 men that were over the age of 60. These men came from wealthy segments of society and they served for life ❖ Women were citizens but stayed at home and took care of children ❖ Women also weren’t allowed to own property or be involved in the economy or politics Economic System and Impact on Society ❖ Greek traders looked for iron ❖ Greeks were expansive people ❖ Geography help lead to city-states ❖ City-states were constantly fighting and arguing ❖ The impoverished Greek farmers looked for land ❖ Settlers brought culture, tarding,

  • A Note on the Thrax of Euphorion: Sh 15.Ii.1Ff
    ANUARI DE FILOLOGIA. ANTIQVA ET MEDIAEVALIA (Anu.Filol.Antiq.Mediaeualia) 4/2014, pp. 17-26, ISSN: 2014-1386 A NOTE ON THE THRAX OF EUPHORION: SH 15.II.1FF. JOSEP ANTONI CLUA SERENA Universitat de Lleida [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper tries to consider the Archaic or Classical origins of Dike or dike, starting by Hesiod and Aeschylus or some indexes which show its religious meaning, and its evolution from the “religious” treatment to the “exemplum” by Euphorion in his “curse poem” the Thrax. Although the probable ironical nature of the Thrax would suggest that Dike is a literary rather than religious figure, it is difficult to support so, because the poem may well be something of a mock- complaint on either a dog or another pet animal, but this does not imply that Dike, as a figure, is not serious. The relevant lines of the poem (SH 415.ii.1ff.) are quite serious in themselves: Dike and Themis are introduced as powerful divine entities regulating human life. But references to the possible “dog” in the Thrax may involve “l´énigme par fragmentation” and this shows the importance attached to “enigma” in Greek texts, as well as in the Thrax, according to Hurst´s proposal. KEY WORDS: Euphorion; Thrax; Dike; ”enigma”; exemplum. SOBRE EL TRACIO DE EUFORIÓN: SH 415.II.1FF. RESUMEN Este artículo trata de considerar los orígenes arcaicos de Dike o dike, comenzando por Hesíodo y Esquilo, así como por algunos índices que muestran su significado religioso. También se analiza su evolución desde la consideración “religiosa” de dicha diosa hasta el exemplum citado por Euforión en su Tracio.

Lang Dedicated to Eugene Vanderpool o American School of Classical Studies at Athens ISBN 87661-617-1 Produced by the Meriden Gravure Company Meriden, Connecticut COVER: Bone figure of Socrates TITLE PAGE: Hemlock SOCRATES IN THE AGORA AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY 1978 ‘Everything combines to make our knowledge of Socrates himself a subject of Socratic irony. The only thing we know definitely about him is that we know nothing.’ -L. Brunschvicg As FAR AS we know Socrates himselfwrote nothing, yet not only were his life and words given dramatic attention in his own time in the Clouds of Ar- istophanes, but they have also become the subject of many others’ writing in the centuries since his death. Fourth-century B.C. writers who had first-hand knowledge of him composed either dialogues in which he was the dominant figure (Plato and Aeschines) or memories of his teaching and activities (Xe- nophon). Later authors down even to the present day have written numerous biographies based on these early sources and considering this most protean of philosophers from every possible point of view except perhaps the topograph- ical one which is attempted here. Instead of putting Socrates in the context of 5th-century B.C. philosophy, politics, ethics or rhetoric, we shall look to find him in the material world and physical surroundings of his favorite stamping- grounds, the Athenian Agora. Just as ‘agora’ in its original sense meant ‘gathering place’ but came in time to mean ‘market place’, so the agora itself was originally a gathering place I.
