This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: HELLAS. 33 carried on a well-fought conflict with Sparta until the latter offered them its friendship; but Mantinea adhered to Argos. CHAPTER IV. HELLAS PROPER AND THESSALY. Attica?Topography of Athens, Eleusis. Hellas embraces the nine following smaller independent states, namely, Attica, Megaris, Boeotia, Phocis, Doris, Locris, iEtolia, Acarnania, and Thessaly. Hellas was originally only a city in Thessaly (Phthiotis); from the time of Homer it included all the countries lying south of Thessaly and Epirus, as far as the Isthmus;' and from the time of Philip, the northern countries were included where the Greek language was spoken, or Greek civilization was established by means of colonies. Here we understand it as extending from the Ambracian Gulf to the promontory of Sunium. Northward of the gulf the irruption of barbarous hordes had stifled the germs of the Greek character in the ancient inhabitants of Epirus, and had transformed it into a foreign land; and it must have been rather the recollection of its ancient fame, as the primitive abode of the Hellenes, than the condition of its tribes after the Persian war, that induced Herodotus to speak of Thesprotia as part of Hellas.i Attica3 was bounded to the North by Boeotia, to the i See p, 100, and notes. Herod, ii. 56. Thirlwall, Hist. vol. i. p. 3. 3 Attica is frequently divided into three portions, namely, Ro KiSlov, the plain; AraKpic, whose inhabitants were termed AicncpiTj, or Atarptoi; and the southern portion, from the promontory of Zoster to the promontory of Sunium, termed TLapaoc yfi, or IlapaXia, in opposition to Ilefiov (Thucyd. ii. 55). Thus in the time of Solon we read of three factions, Diacricei, Pedicel, and Parali, deriving their names from the districts which they severally inhabite...

Download or read book Oracles Curses and Risk Among the Ancient Greeks written by Esther Eidinow and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-10-05 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did ancient Greek men and women deal with the uncertainty and risk of everyday life? What did they fear most, and how did they manage their anxieties? Esther Eidinow sets side-by-side two collections of material usually studied in isolation: binding curse tablets from across the ancient world, and the collection of published private questions from the oracle at Dodona in north-west Greece. Eidinow uses these texts to explore perceptions of risk and uncertainty in ancient society, challenging previous explanations. In these records we hear voices that are rarely, if ever, heard in literary texts and history books. The questions and curses in these tablets comprise fervent, sometimes ferocious appeals to the gods. The stories they tell offer tantalizing glimpses of everyday life, carrying the reader through the teeming ancient city - both its physical setting and its social dynamics. Among these tablets we find prostitutes and publicans, doctors and soldiers, netmakers and silver-workers, actors and seamstresses. Anxious litigants ask the gods to silence their opponents. Men inquire about the paternity of their children. Women beg the gods to help them keep their men. Business rivals try to corner the market. Slaves plead to escape their masters. This material takes us beyond the headlines of ancient history, offering new insights into institutions, activities, and relationships. Above all, individually and together, these texts help us to understand some of the ways in which ancient Greek men and women understood the world. In turn, the beliefs and activities of an ancient culture may shed light on modern attitudes to risk.

Download or read book Philip II the Father of Alexander the Great written by Edward M. Anson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip II was not only the father of Alexander the Great, but in many respects was also the father of his son's incredible career. It was the father who unified Macedonia into the first European nation and who created the army with which his son conquered the Persian Empire and inaugurated the Hellenistic Age. This volume is not the standard biography, but rather an examination of the major controversies concerning his life and reign. How did Philip in roughly twenty years transform a divided territory and little more than a geographical conception into a national state? How did he change the very nature of ancient Western warfare? How did he transform this formerly exploited region into the master of the Greek world? Each chapter discusses one of the major academic controversies surrounding this transformative figure, bringing new clarity to the career of a man whose reputation has been so overshadowed by his illustrious son.
Download or read book Synchrony and Diachrony of Ancient Greek written by Georgios K. Giannakis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collective volume contains thirty six original studies on various aspects of Ancient Greek language, linguistics and philology written by an international group of leading authorities in the field. The essays are organized in five thematic groups covering a wide variety of issues of ancient Greek linguistics, ranging from epigraphy and the study of individual dialects to various other aspects of the structure of the language, such as phonetics and phonology, morphology, lexicon and word formation, etymology, metrics as well as many syntactic matters and problems of pragmatics and stylistics of the language; a number of essays move in the middle ground where language, linguistics and philology crosscut and cross-fertilize each other with the application of linguistic theory to the study of classical texts. The work is of special relevance to scholars interested in Greek linguistics in general and in particular aspects of the Greek language.

Download or read book Alexander of Macedon 356 323 B C written by Peter Green and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography begins not with one of the universally known incidents of Alexander's life, but with an account of his father, Philip of Macedonia, whose many-territoried empire was the first on the continent of Europe to have an effectively centralized government and military. What Philip and Macedonia had to offer, Alexander made his own, but Philip and Macedonia also made Alexander form an important context for understanding Alexander himself. Yet his origins and training do not fully explain the man. After he was named hegemon of the Hellenic League, many philosophers came to congratulate Alexander, but one was conspicuous by his absence: Diogenes the Cynic, an ascetic who lived in a clay tub. Piqued and curious, Alexander himself visited the philosopher, who, when asked if there was anything Alexander could do for him, made the famous reply, "Don't stand between me and the sun." Alexander's courtiers jeered, but Alexander silenced them: "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." This remark was as unexpected in Alexander as it would be in a modern leader. -- Publisher.
