  • Keltoi and Hellenes: a Study of the Celts in the Hellenistic World
    KELTOI AND THE HELLENES A STUDY OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WoRU) PATRICK EGAN In the third century B.C. a large body ofCeltic tribes thrust themselves violently into the turbulent world of the Diadochoi,’ immediately instilling fear, engendering anger and finally, commanding respect from the peoples with whom they came into contact. Their warlike nature, extreme hubris and vigorous energy resembled Greece’s own Homeric past, but represented a culture, language and way of life totally alien to that of the Greeks and Macedonians in this period. In the years that followed, the Celts would go on to ravage Macedonia, sack Delphi, settle their own “kingdom” and ifil the ranks of the Successors’ armies. They would leave indelible marks on the Hellenistic World, first as plundering barbaroi and finally, as adapted, integral elements and members ofthe greatermulti-ethnic society that was taking shape around them. This paper will explore the roles played by the Celts by examining their infamous incursions into Macedonia and Greece, their phase of settlement and occupation ofwhat was to be called Galatia, their role as mercenaries, and finally their transition and adaptation, most noticeably on the individual level, to the demands of the world around them. This paper will also seek to challenge some of the traditionally hostile views held by Greek historians regarding the role, achievements, and the place the Celts occupied as members, not simply predators, of the Hellenistic World.2 19 THE DAWN OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WORLD The Celts were not unknown to all Greeks in the years preceding the Deiphic incursion of February, 279.

  • Ancient Greek Society by Mark Cartwright Published on 15 May 2018
    Ancient Greek Society by Mark Cartwright published on 15 May 2018 Although ancient Greek Society was dominated by the male citizen, with his full legal status, right to vote, hold public oce, and own property, the social groups which made up the population of a typical Greek city-state or polis were remarkably diverse. Women, children, immigrants (both Greek and foreign), labourers, and slaves all had dened roles, but there was interaction (oen illicit) between the classes and there was also some movement between social groups, particularly for second-generation ospring and during times of stress such as wars. The society of ancient Greece was largely composed of the following groups: male citizens - three groups: landed aristocrats (aristoi), poorer farmers (periokoi) and the middle class (artisans and traders). semi-free labourers (e.g the helots of Sparta). women - belonging to all of the above male groups but without citizen rights. children - categorised as below 18 years generally. slaves - the douloi who had civil or military duties. foreigners - non-residents (xenoi) or foreign residents (metoikoi) who were below male citizens in status. Classes Although the male citizen had by far the best position in Greek society, there were dierent classes within this group. Top of the social tree were the ‘best people’, the aristoi. Possessing more money than everyone else, this class could provide themselves with armour, weapons, and a horse when on military campaign. The aristocrats were oen split into powerful family factions or clans who controlled all of the important political positions in the polis. Their wealth came from having property and even more importantly, the best land, i.e.: the most fertile and the closest to the protection oered by the city walls.

ROMA SURRECTA: Portrait of a Counterinsurgent Power, 216 BC - AD 72 Abstract This study evaluates the military history and practice of the Roman Empire in the context of contemporary counterinsurgency theory. It purports that the majority of Rome’s security challenges fulfill the criteria of insurgency, and that Rome’s responses demonstrate counterinsurgency proficiency. These assertions are proven by means of an extensive investigation of the grand strategic, military, and cultural aspects of the Roman state. Fourteen instances of likely insurgency are identified and examined, permitting the application of broad theoretical precepts

  • The Arch Over the Lechaion Road at Corinth and Its Sculpture
    THE ARCH OVER THE LECHAION ROAD AT CORINTH AND ITS SCULPTURE (PLATES57-75) T IS OFT7ENSAID that Pausaniaswas not interested in the monuments of his own time, and, in general, that seems true. But during his tour of Corinth, Pausaniaswalked out throughthe arch over the Lechaion Road which was the northernentrance to the forum (Fig. 1, P1.57:a) and was impressedenough to recordthe presence of the arch and the statues that crowned its attic: two gilded chariotgroups with Helios and Phaethon as drivers.1 Only the heavy foundations of the arch are preserved (Fig. 2), yet it must have been a striking monument which rose above the colonnaded street and held shining quadrigas on top. I would like to think that the chariotof Helios faced the road, since the god would appear then with his sanctuary on Acrocorinth and the rising sun as a backdrop. Phaethon's chariot would be turned to the forum. Hesiod says Phaethon guards the temple of Aphrodite at night.2 As his father seemed to be leaving the acropolis of Corinth in the morning, so Phaethon, with the evening, western sun behind, returned to Aphrodite's temple, where he served as the night watchman of the city goddess. That the statues on top of the arch referredto the gods of Acrocorinth is all we can learn from Pausanias'words. The visible remains provide little to suggest a context in the history of Roman architecturefor the monument, and in discussionsof Roman arches, the arch over the Lechaion Road is relegatedto a passing referencein a footnote, if that much.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Literary evidence on Lysimachus reveals a series of images which may say more about contemporary or later views on kingship than about the actual man, given the intrusion of bias, conventional motifs and propaganda. Thrace was Lysimachus* legacy from Alexander's empire; though problems posed by its formidable tribes and limited resources excluded him from the Successors' wars for nearly ten years, its position, linking Europe and Asia, afforded him some influence, Lysimachus failed to conquer "all of Thrace", but his settlements there achieved enough stability to allow him thoughts of rule across the Hellespont, in Asia Minor, More ambitious and less cautious than is often thought, Lysimachus' acquisition of empire in Asia Minor, Macedon and Greece from c.315 BC to 284 BC reflects considerable military and diplomatic skills, deployed primarily when self-interest demanded rather than reflecting obligations as a permanent member of an "anti-Antigonid team".

  • Polybius Ii 24: Roman Manpower and Greek Propaganda*
    1374-08_Anc_Soc38_06_Erdkamp 30-10-2008 15:01 Pagina 137 POLYBIUS II 24: ROMAN MANPOWER AND GREEK PROPAGANDA* Abstract: In his account of the Gallic wars of the 220s BC Polybius inludes a unique survey of troops and men able to bear arms in Italy. Polybius derived these figures from the work of Fabius Pictor. The Gallic digression, culminating in the battle of Telamon, should be seen against the background of contemporary Hellenistic propaganda. Succeeding the Persians, the Galatians served as archetypical enemies of Greece, and victories over these barbarians were exploited by Hellenistic kings to legitimize their rule. Fabius Pictor used the same propagandistic tool to present Rome as the saviour of the civilized world. Greek diplomatic discourse emphasized that only a united Greece could withstand its external enemies. Hence, there was a long tradition among Greek writers to present details on the coalitions that had defeated Persians and Galatians. In Polybius II 24 Italy is presented as united under its hegemon Rome. When including a survey of troops and manpower, Fabius Pictor was following the Greek example. The strength of Italy under Roman leadership is deliberately presented not as that of the aggressor threatening neighbouring states, but as the defender of prosperity and peace in Italy. 1. POLYBIUS II 24 The only detailed evidence for the population of Italy during the mid- republic is found in Polybius’ account of the invasion of the Gaesatae in 225 BC. Polybius II 24 offers truly unique figures — we have nothing comparable on the population of Italy (not even in the form of the cen- sus figures of the first century BC).

A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences 1999 by Alexandra L. Lesk Blomerus B.A., Dartmouth College, 1995 M.St., University of Oxford, 1996 Committee: Professor C. Brian Rose (Chair) Professor Jack L. Davis 1 ABSTRACT At some point in the fourth century B.C., anatomical votive terracottas began to be dedicated in sanctuaries in central Italy. Thousands of replicas of body parts have been found in votive deposits in these sanctuaries, left to deities as requests or thank offerings for healing. The spread of the anatomical votive terracotta phenomenon has been attributed to the colonisation of central Italy by the Romans. In addition, parallels have been drawn to the similar short-lived phenomenon at the Asklepieion at Corinth where models of body parts were also dedicated in the context of a healing cult. After a general introduction to the historical and physical context of the anatomical votive terracotta phenomenon, this thesis examines the link to Corinth and suggests how the practice was first transmitted to Italy. Votive evidence of early date and peculiar typology found in situ from the sanctuary at Gravisca on the south coast of Etruria suggests contact with Greeks who would have been familiar with the practice of dedicating anatomical votive terracottas at Corinth.
