Centered on the Periphery: the Changing Dynamic Between Ionia and Imperial Powers 454-C.294 Bce CENTERED ON THE PERIPHERY: THE CHANGING DYNAMIC BETWEEN IONIA AND IMPERIAL POWERS 454-C.294 BCE JOSHUA P. NUDELL A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL AT THE UNVIERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY MAY 2017 © Copyright Joshua P. Nudell, 2017 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled: CENTERED ON THE PERIPHERY: THE CHANGING DYNAMIC BETWEEN IONIA AND IMPERIAL POWERS, 454-C.294 BCE Presented by Joshua P. Nudell, A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________ Professor Ian Worthington ________________________________________________ Professor A. Mark Smith ________________________________________________ Professor Anatole Mori ________________________________________________ Professor Theodore A. Tarkow ________________________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey A. Stevens This dissertation has two dedications: First: to the memories of my grandfathers, Irving Nudell (d. 2017) and Robert Spaulding (d. 2012). Second: to the refugees risking their lives in the crossing from Turkey to Chios. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There is no such thing as purely intellectual activity, divorced from the politics and cares of the world. Credit for this dissertation belongs to me, but I owe no mean debt to a large number of people for the final product. The first debt is to my family, whom I do not see or speak to nearly as often as I ought. I am eternally grateful that they instilled (and tolerated) a love of reading and learning from an early age, supported and encouraged what has turned out to be a lifetime of education. This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of my two grandfathers, Robert Spaulding and Irving Nudell, both of whom passed away while I was completing my PhD. The second debt is to my friends, old and new, whose presence enriches my life. These are the people with whom I play, converse, celebrate, and commiserate. There are too many people to list individually, but three are due special mention: Josh Klindienst and Hana Akselrod, who are my biggest cheerleaders (Hana receives another commendation for once translating an article from Russian), and my partner Elizabeth, who bears the brunt of my frustrations. The third debt is to all those people who have contributed to my education. My deepest gratitude goes out to those teachers who have helped me along the way and indulged my curiosity. Particular thanks in this goes out to my high school Latin teacher, Norma Weisen, three members of the Brandeis Classics Department, Ann Koloski- Ostrow, Cheryl Walker, and Lenny Muellner, as well as William Kapelle from the Brandeis History Department. The fourth debt is to the people and programs that have offered me academic support in my developing and writing this dissertation. Most importantly, I owe a great deal to my advisor, Ian Worthington. He has read innumerable chapter drafts over the past three years and spilled gallons of ink improving this project in ways both large and small. It is also to his credit that this project exists at all, since it was an innocuous question to him from a publisher about writing a new book on Caria that was the earliest seed of this project. I said “no” to Caria, but it caused me to start looking at the Greeks of Asia Minor. I owe Ian my gratitude for allowing me the freedom to develop this project, as well as for his crusade to purge my writing of a number of tics (I am sure there are still ii brutally abused commas and number disagreements left to be found), and for his unflagging support over the eight years I have been at the University of Missouri. I likewise owe a debt to my committee members, Anatole Mori, A. Mark Smith, Ted Tarkow, and Jeff Stevens for their support over the years, some in reading drafts of my dissertation, others for their support of me at conferences and in course work, and all for their availability to step up as needed. I would also like to acknowledge the University of Missouri History Department, Graduate School, and Ancient Studies Program for awarding me travel funding to support my research and the History Department for offering me a dissertation fellowship for the 2015-2016 academic year. I would also like to express my gratitude to scholars outside the University of Missouri who gave astute feedback on portions of my research after reading chapter drafts or in discussion at conferences, including Andrew Erskine, Lee Patterson, and Jeanne Reames. Stephen Ruzicka is deserving of special mention since he graciously read and gave feedback on the entire manuscript. By way of the final acknowledgement, I must explain the second dedication. Early on in the dissertation process, I set up Google alerts for news stories about the Ionian poleis. This decision had unforeseen consequences since, for instance, there is an Ephesus lighting company. The most common alert, however, was getting an almost daily update about the ongoing refugee crisis. After a while I stopped reading all of the updates because it was too heart-wrenching; one story that will never leave me was about a police raid on a factory that was using refugee children to make “life vests” out of non- buoyant material for sale to refugees trying to cross illegally into Chios. The situation for these refugees remains critical, both on Chios and in Turkey, but the dedication also transcends humanitarian impulse. I am struck that the flood of refugees from Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East, displaced from their homes and seeking safety in Europe, has been making their way across the length of Turkey to the ancient region of Ionia (and Aeolis) before crossing to Greece. In the aggregate, this is roughly the same route taken by the ancient Persian royal road and thus they are living embodiment of the continuing relevance of one of the central themes in my dissertation: that Ionia was one of the links connecting East and West. To all of these people and more: thank you. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ii Abbreviations v Map of Ionia ix I. Introduction 1 II. Ionia and Ionians, 454-c.294: A Reassessment 1.

  • The Outbreak of the Rebellion of Cyrus the Younger Jeffrey Rop
    The Outbreak of the Rebellion of Cyrus the Younger Jeffrey Rop N THE ANABASIS, Xenophon asserts that the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger was falsely accused of plotting a coup I d’état against King Artaxerxes II shortly after his accession to the throne in 404 BCE. Spared from execution by the Queen Mother Parysatis, Cyrus returned to Lydia determined to seize the throne for himself. He secretly prepared his rebellion by securing access to thousands of Greek hoplites, winning over Persian officials and most of the Greek cities of Ionia, and continuing to send tribute and assurances of his loyalty to the unsuspecting King (1.1).1 In Xenophon’s timeline, the rebellion was not official until sometime between the muster of his army at Sardis in spring 401, which spurred his rival Tissaphernes to warn Artaxerxes (1.2.4–5), and his arrival several months later at Thapsacus on the Euphrates, where Cyrus first openly an- nounced his true intentions (1.4.11). Questioning the “strange blindness” of Artaxerxes in light of Cyrus’ seemingly obvious preparations for revolt, Pierre Briant proposed an alternative timeline placing the outbreak of the rebellion almost immediately after Cyrus’ return to Sardis in late 404 or early 403.2 In his reconstruction, the King allowed Cyrus 1 See also Ctesias FGrHist 688 F 16.59, Diod. 14.19, Plut. Artax. 3–4. 2 Pierre Briant, From Cyrus to Alexander (Winona Lake 2002) 617–620. J. K. Anderson, Xenophon (New York 1974) 80, expresses a similar skepticism. Briant concludes his discussion by stating that the rebellion officially (Briant does not define “official,” but I take it to mean when either the King or Cyrus declared it publicly) began in 401 with the muster of Cyrus’ army at Sardis, but it is nonetheless appropriate to characterize Briant’s position as dating the official outbreak of the revolt to 404/3.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • THE POLITICAL CHANGES in IONIA AFTER the REVOLT ßß42 And
    APPENDIX 11 THE POLITICAL CHANGES IN IONIA AFTER THE REVOLT §§42 and 43.3 throw important light on the Persian attitude to their subject peoples in the west, and certainly on Artaphrenes as a shrewd administrator. The revolt had taken six years and considerable mil- itary effort to suppress. Three political changes are now made, two by the satrap, the third by Mardonius. Another account of it sur- vives, DS 10.25.4, where the third is also ascribed to Artaphrenes: ÑEkata›ow ı MilÆsiow presbeutØw épestalm°now ÍpÚ t«n ÉI≈nvn, ±r≈thse diÉ ∂n afit¤an épiste› aÈto›w ı ÉArtaf°rnhw. toË d¢ efipÒntow, mÆpote Íp¢r œn katapolemhy°ntew kak«w ¶payon mnhsikakÆsvsin, OÈkoËn, ¶fhsen, efi tÚ pepony°nai kak«w tØn épist¤an peripoie›, tÚ paye›n êra eÔ poiÆsei tåw pÒleiw P°rsaiw eÈnooÊsaw. épodejãmenow d¢ tÚ =hy¢n ı ÉArtaf°rnhw ép°dvke toÁw nÒmouw ta›w pÒlesi ka‹ taktoÁw fÒrouw katå dÊnamin §p°tajen.1 Artaphrenes had to reimpose his authority, but also had the practical interest of ensuring stability, particularly economic stability, which in turn meant that tribute could flow in: cf Starr (1975) 82, Briant (1996) 511, and other references cited on êndrew, §19.3. We may accept §42.1, that he summoned representatives from each polis, in view of the arbitration requirement; but we can accept Diodorus to the extent that Hecataeus was the, or one of the, representative(s) from Miletus: he had influence there, and could be presented to the Persians as someone who had not fully supported the revolt (5.36, 125; pp.

  • Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) P.105
    SHAPIRO, H. A., Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) p.105 Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians H A. Shapiro HE AMAZONS offer a remarkable example of the lacunose and T fragmented state of ancient evidence for many Greek myths. For while we hear virtually nothing about them in extant litera­ ture before the mid-fifth century, they are depicted in art starting in the late eighth! and are extremely popular, especially in Attica, from the first half of the sixth. Thus all we know about the Greeks' con­ ception of the Amazons in the archaic period comes from visual rep­ resentations, not from written sources, and it would be hazardous to assume that various 'facts' and details supplied by later writers were familiar to the sixth-century Greek. The problem of locating the Amazons is a good case in point. Most scholars assume that Herakles' battle with the Amazons, so popular on Attic vases, took place at the Amazon city Themiskyra in Asia Minor, on the river Thermodon near the Black Sea, where most ancient writers place it.2 But the earliest of these is Apollodoros (2.5.9), and, as I shall argue, alternate traditions locating the Ama­ zons elsewhere may have been known to the archaic vase-painter and viewer. An encounter with Amazons figures among the exploits of three important Greek heroes, and each story entered the Attic vase­ painters' repertoire at a different time in the course of the sixth century. First came Herakles' battle to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte (although the prize itself is never shown), his ninth labor.
