Historical Essays UNIVERSITY LIBRARY DIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO the from collection of Professor Koppel S. Pinson HISTOBICAL ESSAYS. HISTORICAL ESSAYS EDWARD A. FREEMAN, M.A., HON. D.C.L., LATK FELLOW OP TRINITY COLLEGE, OXFORD. SECOND SERIES. ' I will at leant hope that these volumes may encourage a spirit of research into history, and may in some measure assist in directing it ; that they may con- tribute to the conviction that history is to be studied as a whole, and according to its philosophical divisions, not such as merely geographical and chronological ; that the history of Greece and Rome is not an idle inquiry about remote ages and forgotten institutions, but a living picture of things present, fitted not so much for the curiosity of the scholar, as the instruction of the statesman and the citizen.' ARNOLD, Preface to Thucydides, vol. iii. Bonbon; MACMILLAN AND CO. 1873. [ A II riyhU reserved.] OXFORD: By T. Combe, M.A., E. B. Gardner. E. Pickard Hall, and J. H. Stacy, PRINTEHS TO THE T7NIVEE8ITT. PEEFACE. THE present collection is that which was spoken of in the Preface to the second edition of my former series of Essays. The Essays now reprinted chiefly relate to earlier periods of history than those which were dealt with in the former volume to the times commonly known as 'ancient' or 'classical.' I need hardly say that to me those names simply mark con- venient halting-places in the one continuous history of European civilization. They mark the time when political life was confined to the two great Mediterranean peninsulas, and when the Teutonic and Slavonic races had as yet hardly shown themselves on the field of history. I should be well pleased some day to connect the two series by a third, which might deal with the intermediate times, with those times which I look on as the true Middle Ages, the times when the Roman and Teutonic elements of modern Europe stood side by side, and had not yet been worked together into a third thing distinct from either. In reprinting these Essays, I have followed nearly the same course which I followed in the former series. As most of them were written before those which appeared in my former series, they have, on the whole, needed a greater amount of revision, and a greater number of notes to point out the times and circumstances under which they were written. In the process of revision I have found myself able to do very much in the way of improving and simplifying the style. In almost every page I have found it easy to put some plain English word, about whose meaning there can be no doubt, instead of those needless French or Latin words which are add thought to add dignity to style, but which in truth only vagueness. I am in no way ashamed to find that I can write purer and clearer English now than I did fourteen or fifteen back and I think it well to mention the fact for the years ; encouragement of younger writers. The common temptation vi PREFACE. of beginners is to write in what they think a more elevated fashion. It needs some years of practice before a man fully takes in the truth that, for real strength and above all for real clearness, there is nothing like the old English speech of our fathers. All the Essays in this volume, except the first, were written as reviews. When the critical part of the article took the shape of discussion, whether leading to agreement or to dif- ference, of the works of real scholars like Bishop Thirl wall, Mr. Grote, and Dr. Merivale, I have let it stand pretty much as it was first written. But the parts which were given to pointing out the mistakes of inferior writers I have for the most part struck out. On this principle I had to sacrifice ' nearly the whole of the article headed Herodotus and his Commentators,' in the National Review for October 1862. I have kept only a small part of it as a note to one of the other Essays. I have done this, not because there is a word in that or in any other article of the kind which I now differ from or regret, but because, while the unflinching exposure of errors in the passing literature of the day is the highest duty of the periodical critic, it is out of place in writings which lay any claim to lasting value. I do not think I have sinned against my own rule in reprinting my articles in the Saturday Review on the German works of Mommsen and Curtius. Both are scholars of the highest order, and, as such, I trust that I have dealt with them with the respect that they deserve. But if, as there seems to be some danger, Curtius should displace Grote in the hands of English students, and if Mommsen should be looked up to as an infallible oracle, as Niebuhr was in my own Oxford days, I believe that the result would be full of evil, not only for historical truth, but, in the case of Mommsen, for political morality also. I have to renew my thanks to the publishers of the Edin- burgh Review and to the editors and publishers of the other periodicals in which the Essays appeared, for the leave kindly given to me to reprint them in their present form.

I. ANCIENT GREECE AND MEDIEVAL ITALY. THE history of the Italian peninsula forms, in many respects, the most important and the most fascinating chapter in the history of the middle ages. Every part indeed of the his- of those wonderful times its tory has own special charm ; each has its special attraction for minds of a particular class. Upon the English statesman or jurist, the early annals of our own country have a claim ahove all others. But a knowledge of those annals is very imperfect without some knowledge both of the kindred nations of Northern Europe and of the once kindred and then antagonistic powers of Gaul. To minds of another class, who view history with philological or antiquarian rather than with political eyes, the laws, the languages, the monuments of Scandinavia and Northern Germany will be of primary, instead of sub- sidiary, value. The long struggle between the Christian and the Saracen, the early liberties of Aragon and Castile, clothe the Iberian peninsula with an interest at once poli- tical and romantic. Even the obscure annals of the Sla- vonic nations are not without a charm of their own, and they have a most important bearing upon recent events. But to the scholar, whose love for historical research has been first kindled among the remains of Greek and Roman antiquity, no delight will be so great as that of tracing out every relic of their influence, every event or institution which can be connected with them either by analogy or by direct deriva- tion. The mere student of words, the mere dreamer over B 2 ANCIENT GREECE [ESSAY classic lore, is indeed tempted to cast aside the mediaeval and modern history both of Greece and Italy as a mere profana- tion of the ancient. But a more enlarged and practical love of antiquity will not so dwell upon the distant past as to neglect more recent scenes which are its natural complement and commentary. And the scenes which thus attract the scholar may challenge also the attention of the political and ecclesiastical inquirer. Our knowledge of the political life of Rome, of the intellectual life of Greece, of the religious life of early Christendom, is imperfect indeed without some knowledge of the long annals of the Eastern Empire. There we may behold the political immortality of one race, the of another there learn literary immortality ; we may how a and a can reconstruct a nation language religion ; we may trace the force and the weakness of a centralized des- potism, and may marvel at the destiny which chose out such a power to be the abiding bulwark of Christianity and civili- zation. But over the other classic peninsula a higher interest lingers. If both Greece and Rome still lived on in the mingled being of the Byzantine Empire, they rose again to a more brilliant life among the Popes, the Caesars, and the Republics of mediaeval Italy. The political power of Rome still survived in theory in the hands of German Emperors, in while very truth the lordly spirit of the Imperial city sprang into new being, and founded a wider empire, under the guidance of Italian Pontiffs. And besides this twofold life of Rome, the life of Hellas lives once more in the rise and fall, the wars and revolutions, of countless independent commonwealths.

  • Canada's Greek Moment: Transnational Politics, Activists, and Spies During
    CANADA’S GREEK MOMENT: TRANSNATIONAL POLITICS, ACTIVISTS, AND SPIES DURING THE LONG SIXTIES CHRISTOPHER GRAFOS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2016 © CHRISTOPHER GRAFOS, 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Greek immigrant homeland politics during the period of Greece’s military dictatorship, 1967 to 1974, in Toronto and Montreal. It carefully considers the internal dynamics of anti-junta activism in Canada’s Greek populations, but it also contemplates the meanings of external perceptions, particularly from the Canadian state and Canadian public discourse. The study acknowledges the dominant paradigm of Greek immigrants as unskilled workers, however, it demonstrates that this archetype is not monolithic. In many ways, it is challenged by a small number of Greeks who possessed skills to write letters to politicians, create petitions, organize public rallies, and politically mobilize others. At the same time, this dissertation carefully considers Canada’s social and political environment and shows how uniquely Canadian politics ran parallel to and informed Greek homeland politics. Transnationalism is used as an analytical tool, which challenges the meaning of local/national borders and the perception that they are sealed containers. The main argument expressed here is that environments shape movements and migrant political culture does not develop in a vacuum. Each chapter deals with specific nuances of anti-junta activism in Toronto and Montreal. Chapter One examines the organized voices of the Greek community’s anti-dictatorship movement. The chapter’s latter section looks at how the Panhellenic Liberation Movement (PAK), led by Andreas Papandreou, consolidated itself as the main mouthpiece against Greece’s authoritarian regime.

Hatzis Professor of Philosophy of Law & Theory of Institutions at the Department of History & Philosophy of Science of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens; Director of Research at the Center for Liberal Studies-Athens; Fellow, Institute for Research in Economic and Fiscal Issues-Paris1 Abstract: In late 1823 two representatives of the London Philhellenic Committee (a Philhellenic group established to support the Greek War of Independence from Ottoman rule) arrived in Missolonghi in Western Greece to administer a loan to the revolutionary Greek government and help the Greek cause. The visit of Lord Byron and Col. Leicester Stanhope was short. Lord Byron died in early April of 1824 and Col. Stanhope was recalled to Britain one month later. During this short period, they managed to establish three newspapers in liberated Greece but also to antagonize each other on the ideology and content of these newspapers. The objective of Stanhope was to disseminate Bentham’s liberal ideas in Greece and the objective of Byron was the international recognition of the Greek War of Independence. Their never-ending fights led to the first major episode of newspaper cen- sorship in the history of modern Greece: Byron confiscated an issue of a newspaper because he thought it was damaging to the revolutionaries’ international standing and he tried to undermine Stanhope’s position by dis- crediting him to the London Committee.

  • The Classic Trilemma ---Of ---Polis-Ethnos-Cosmos
    THE CLASSIC TRILEMMA --------- OF --------- POLIS-ETHNOS-COSMOS By Paris Arnopoulos PANTEION UNIVERSITY ATHENS 1996 ABSTRACT The vital problem of world affairs is how to resolve the contradictions between political order and cosmic chaos, thus establishing a peaceful coexistence between widely opposing cultures and ideologies. This problem was first conceptualized by the ancient Greeks who discussed and proposed various solutions which have yet to be surpassed. Although, the miniature world of the city-state (polis), instead of nation-state (ethnos), ultimately succumbed to the external forces of the world at large (cosmos); its ideas and actions are still relevant. The significant correspondence between the Hellenic era and the present makes these particular thoughts of general interest because they may help us understand and resolve our own problems. This study attributes the classic Hellenic malaise to the agonistic pathology of its people, reflected in the classic trichotomy of: -political power: separating citizen and foreigner, native and alien; -economic wealth: distinguishing rich and poor, free and slave; -biosocial culture: dichotomizing Greeks and barbarians, civil and wild. The resulting trilemma therefore became how to combine patriotism, nationalism and humanism. The main ideas proposed fall into a Political thesis, Pan-Hellenic antithesis, and Cosmopolitan synthesis. The hypothesis of this study asserts that the Polis-Ethnos-Cosmos triptych remains a perennial trilemma of the human condition. Thus juxtaposed, the three fundamental identity values (patriotism, nationalism, humanism) can neither be maximized nor extinguished, as many have and still try to do in turbulent periods of global change. Our present transition from modern to post-modern world is just as dynamic and dangerous as that from the Hellenic to Hellenistic era.

In compliance to the EU Directive 91/271, there is a legal binding to ensure that all agglomerations with populations over 2000 are provided with wastewater collecting system and adequate treatment. The conditions for optimum application of the Directive in Greece, especially in the light of the recent administrative reor- ganization, and the management of small rural communities not covered by the Directive are addressed, with reference to a case study application in the Achaia County. In compliance to the EU Directive 91/271, it is estimated that collecting systems and treatment should expand to at least 70% of the total population. However, due to the expanding touristic activity, the limited availability of land, environmental considerations, and favorable population characteristics (high density, relatively large communities) and morphological and socioeconomical conditions, it is proposed that coverage can reach to 85% of the total population.

  • Piracy in the Ancient World
    Q1Q Piracy in the Ancient World: from Minos to Mohammed Philip Charles de Souza University College Thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. in History 1992 ABSTRACT This thesis is an historical analysis of the phenomenon of piracy in the ancient world from the Bronze Age to the Arab conquests. It is based on detailed examination and discussion of the ancient sources. There is a short introduction (Part One) which establishes the scope of the enquiry, defmes the subject and surveys modern scholarly literature. Part Two (The Image of Ancient Piracy) consists of a study of the Greek and Latin vocabulary for piracy, and six separate studies of Classical literature, from Homer to the fourth century A.D. These studies analyze the development of the literary image of pirates and piracy, from the ambivalent attitude of the Homeric poems, to the wholly negative presentation of pirates and piracy found in the works of later writers. Part Three (War and Piracy) analyzes the early similarity between warfare and piracy, the gradual emergence of distinctions between the two, warfare as a promoter of piracy, and the involvement of pirates in warfare. Part Four (Trade and Piracy) is an analysis of the relationship between piracy and various forms of trade. The importance of piracy as both a contributor and a threat to long-distance maritime trade is analyzed, as well as the involvement of pirates in the slave trade. The link between trade and the suppression of piracy is also discussed. Part Five (The Suppression of Piracy) examines in detail attempts to suppress piracy from the Classical period to the end of the Roman Empire.
