Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Life and Thought: From the Age of Alexander to the Roman Conquest In'the second place, as this book was not in tended exclusively for scholars, it became necessary to introduce some account of the history and litera ture of the age as the background for the estimate of life and manners, which is my main Object. I might possibly have assumed a knowledge of this history and literature in the scholar, though, even for scholars, the epoch is one of great complication and obscurity, lying outside the bounds of ordinary classical reading; but, from the general reader, this special knowledge could not possibly be expected. Hence there is more actual history in the present volume than in its predecessor, and its limits are marked, not by great authors, but by great political events.

Excerpt: ...for the city sustained itself through long and pressing dangers. us nothing of interest1 till we reach the far later days of Plutarch. Sicyon, on the contrary, was one of the most important of these re-foundations, and a very characteristic example of the class. It had been very handsomely refounded on a higher level, that of its old acropolis, by Demetrius Poliorketes, who desired to call it Demetrias, but without success. This change of site was here possible because a higher and yet isolated plateau 2 succeeds to the shore-level (where the old town stood), with ample room for streets and walls, and with the command of a beautiful view up and down the Gulf of Corinth, and across to the mountains of Boeotia and-Phocis. The older Sicyon had been a celebrated art-centre. Pausanias, in his account of the place, mentions old works of Calamis and of Scopas, as well as of Lysippus and the newer school, and after its restoration it became one of the chief schools for sculpture and painting in the world--a sort of Hellenistic Florence. In an age of art-collecting, when rich kings and satraps liked to obtain the c/refs-d'aeuvre of renowned artists, and paid large prices for them, such a reputation meant power and wealth for Sicyon, and we hear, specially in Plutarch's Lzfe of Aratus, that it was by collecting and sending to Ptolemy these objects that he conciliated and maintained the king's favour. It was now, 1 The sketch of Boeotian life, with its luxury, sloth and feasting, together with complete idleness and neglect of all public business, given by Polybius (xx. 14), is to me perfectly incredible.
