Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Syracuse The origin of the famous city, which was the nursery of Hellenic civilization in the Occident, is lost in legend. It welcomed the first Siculi (recent archeological discovery confirming the vague reference of Thucydides), and later very probably the Etoli, who led the way to the definite and complete immigration which occured in the eighth century B. C. The beautiful suburban ne-cropoli of Plemmiro, of Cozzo, of Pantano, and of Thap-sos, as well as tombs found in the neighborhood of Or-tigia and of Xeapoli, together with The rich pottery and other material shown in the Syracuse museum, attest its historical reality. The date of the real foundation commonly accepted on the faith of the great historian of the Pelopennesian War, is 731 B. C., but whether or not the author be that legendary Archia related by the same Thucydides is of little matter. Certain it is that Syracuse (lu/saxotrat) (so called, according to some, from a Phoenician word meaning eastern site, according to others referring to the neighboring marsh) always recognized Corinth as its mother country, towards whom their thoughts went out in good and bad fortune, and with whom they maintained an unchanging relation and affection. The development which very shortly the new city took on was remarkable, so much so as to feel the necessity of using some of its surplus population in the establishment of colonies at Akrai, Casmene and Camarina, and ro make laws exemplary for their juridic wisdom and equitable spirit, such as the Dioclee, so called from the name of the famous legislator.

Download or read book Our Hellenic Heritage Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by H. R. James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Hellenic Heritage, Vol. 2 The story of the Athenian empire is not, like the story of the Persian War, swift, clearly defined, straight-forward, and inspiring throughout, with a direct and simple interest which risec to a climax. It is a complex and tangled piece of history, long-drawn and chequered, closing in catastrophe. It is an essential tragedy, and a tragedy of the right Aristotelian pattern, for the hero, the Commonwealth of Athens, is illustrious and of noble dignity, but not free from fault. There is thrilling action in it and a height of splendour, followed by a poignant reversal of fortune. In Greek History it is only one episode; but it is an episode which has largeness and unity and an abiding significance. It has not often since Thucydides left the story of the culminating tragedy to be "a possession for all time" - been separately handled as a dramatic whole. The drama ends with the Peloponnesian wars and the downfall of Athenian dominion; and good reason may be shown for regarding that downfall as a calamity for Hellas and for European civilisation. There were really two wars. In the first war from 431 to 421 B.C. Athens was victorious; and but for the rash adventure of the Sicilian Expedition her empire might have continued. Peace in the year 421 B.C. must have seemed as well secured as peace in Europe after the Treaty of Versailles, 2,300 years later.

Download or read book Tyrants of Syracuse Volume II written by Jeff Champion and published by Pen & Sword Military. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of one of the most important classical cities, Syracuse, and its struggles (both internal and external) for freedom and survival. Situated at the heart of the Mediterranean, Syracuse was caught in the middle as Carthage, Pyrrhus of Epirus, Athens and then Rome battled to gain control of Sicily. The threat of expansionist enemies on all sides made for a tumultuous situation within the city, resulting in repeated coups that threw up a series of remarkable tyrants, such as Gelon, Timoleon and Dionysius. In this first volume Jeff Champion traces the course of Syracuse's wars under the tyrants from the Battle of Himera (480 BC) against the Carthaginians down to the death of Dionysius I (367 BC), whose reign proved to be the high tide of the city's power and influence. One of the highlights along the way is the city's heroic resistance to, and eventual decisive defeat of, the Athenian expeditionary force that besieged them for over two years (415-413 BC), an event with massive ramifications for the Greek world. This is the eventful life story of one of the forgotten major powers of the ancient Mediterranean world.
