  • As the Peloponnesian War Drew to a Close Early in 404 BC, Athens' Enemies Blockaded Piraeus, the City's Main Port
    WHAT ATHENIAN FORTIFICATIONS WERE DESTROYED IN 404 BC? DAVID H. CONWELL As the Peloponnesian War drew to a close early in 404 BC, Athens' enemies blockaded Piraeus, the city's main port. In March of that year, reduced to starvation, the Athenians formally capitulated. 1 Some· weeks later, Lysander sailed into Piraeus to supervise the destruction of parts of the Athenian fortification system in accordance with the peace terms dictated by the Spartans. 2 While it is clear from the numerous ancient accounts that Athenian fortification walls were demolished in 404, there is substantial disagreement among the ancient reports as to which walls exacdy were destroyed. Generally, modern opinion follows Thucydides and Xenophon, who report the demolition of the Long Wails and the circuit wall of Piraeus only. It is often forgotten, however, that many ancient sources, including Lysias, Andocides, Plutarch, and Pausanias, iden­ tify the walls in question differendy. Moreover, well-known modern scholars from Lenschau to Bengtson to Knigge, who hold that the Athenian city wall was destroyed in 404, reflect certain of the alter­ native accounts but remain unchallenged. The lack of uniformity in the ancient tradition and the continuing disagreement among mod­ ern scholars demand a thorough examination of the evidence. A full review of the ancient and modern evidence demonstrates that Thucydides and Xenophon provide our most accurate evidence. In 404, the Spartans razed the Long Walls and the enceinte of Piraeus, while they left Athens' city wall in place. 1 On dating the surrender in March, see Munro (1937) 32, 37; Gomme (1945-81) 4.12.

    UCLA UCLA Historical Journal Title Reasons for the Coup of the Four Hundred Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3mc6m50g Journal UCLA Historical Journal, 6(0) ISSN 0276-864X Author Ellis, Walter Publication Date 1985 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California 5 NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Reasons for the Coup of the Four Hundred Walter Ellis Introduction The Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.) between Athens and Sparta came to a temporary halt during the period between 42 1 and 413. In 4 1 the Athenians, under the influence of Alcibiades, inaugurated an ambitious invasion of the island of Sicily that by 413 had turned into a disaster for the invaders. The Athenians lost thousands of men, most of their navy, and their two leading statesmen, the generals Nicias and Alcibiades. Nicias died in Sicily and Alcibiades defected to the Spartans. Also, in 413 the Spartans formally reopened the war by occupying on a permanent basis the fortress at Decelea which was on the Athenian frontier. Bereft of effective leadership and the greater part of its navy, Athens was on the verge of losing its empire as more and more of its subject allies began to rebel. The foundation upon which Athens' strength was built seemed to be on the verge of collapse. This crisis led directly to a coup in Athens in the year 411; the democracy was overthrown by a group of oligarchs known as the Four Hundred. The Four Hundred held power in Athens for about four months through mid-September before they were replaced by a more moderate oHgarchy known as the Five Thousand.

  • The Influx of Money Into Sparta at the End of the Fifth Century B.C.*
    THE INFLUX OF MONEY INTO SPARTA AT THE END OF THE FIFTH CENTURY B.C.* “Ἄρχῇν μὲν ούν διαφθορὰς καὶ τοῦ νοσεΐν ἔσχε τὰ πραγματα τῶν Αακεδαιμονΐων σχεδὸν ἀφ’ οὐ τὴν Άθηναίων καταλυσοιντες ῇγεμονίαν χρυσίου τε καὶ αρυρίου κατεπλησαν ἐαυτοός.”1 (“ThE statE of the LacedaeMoNiaNs bEgan to suffer disteMpEr and corruptioN soon after they had subVErted thE AthENiaN supremacy and fillEd themselves with gold and silVEr.”) This statEMENt of Plutarch, which opENs a coNcisE description of Sparta’s decline — based, Most probably, MaiNly on Phylarchus2 — suMs up thE commonly accepted ViEw of anciENt sources oN this subject. This ViEw ascribed thE beginning of Sparta’s decline to thE VEry days of her apogEE as a grEat power, aftEr hEr decisive victory oVer AthENs iN thE PeloponNEsian War. Ironically, it was that VEry factor which had helped hEr so Much iN gaining this Victory and iN obtaining thE hegEMony iN GrEEcE — foreign capital — that was also held chiEfly responsible for having ENgENdErEd thE roots of thE decline. This opinioN had already bEEN currENt in thE fourth cENtury B.C., that is, iN coNtEMporary or almost coNtEMporary sources, such as XENophoN, Plato, Isocrates aNd Ephorus. ThEir ViEws were to have a far-reaching influence iN later sources such as Phylarchus, Polybius, Posidonius, Diodorus, Plutarch, Pausanias aNd AEliaNus.3 * This papEr is based on aN introductory chaptEr of My doctoral dissertation.

  • Recursionism and Reality: Representing and Understanding the World
    Recursionism and Reality: Representing and Understanding the World Subhash Kak Louisiana State University Baton Rouge 2005 © Subhash Kak, 2005, 2007 Recursionism and Reality Preface The following pages are a summary of my ideas on intuitive and scientific representations of reality. I hope they answer the question why common sense and science are able to make sense of the world. In my view, recursive representation is the basis of mental images not only of physical systems but also of behaviour. Subhash Kak Baton Rouge Subhash Kak 2 Recursionism and Reality 1 Many Worlds 1.0 Science has revealed the laws that govern the macroscopic and the microscopic worlds. But between the outer reality and the experiencing self lies the agency of the mind and between the domains of classical physics and quantum mechanics is metaphysics. This middle space involves the subject and, therefore, it can only be addressed by philosophy – where words stretch to provide insight that cannot be reduced to simple declarations. Although metaphysics deals with existence and reality, its formal study is limited to narratives on reality and existence, and their linguistic analysis. The study of knowledge and ethics are also mutually dependent and related to politics and aesthetics, which are choices in the field of force and power and the sense of art and life.
