Industrialization and Urbanization
Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece
The Owl at Dusk
Only in the shorthand ofthe scholar is history enacted by groups and classes. In reality individuals produce the events, great and obscure, that are combined by the selective judgment of historians to make up what passes for history. As always, most data is irretrievably lost, but the pulse of past lives is strongest when the surviving evidence is biographic. The sociology ofknowledge is most meaningful when its focus is not on abstract groups bu…

The Ancient Historians
If Greece and Rome are held to be the cradles of Western civilization, this is in part due to the fact that they are the cradles of written history. Between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. men such as Herodotus, Thucydides and Tacitus virtually invented the discipline of history as we know it. To these men history was a dual art; the art of recording the truth as accurately as possible and the art of writing as lucidly as the great men of letters. This tex…

Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece
The New Empire of Diocletian and Constantine
Aristonicus, Blossius, and the City of the Sun
In Asia Minor in the Second Century B.C., an ephemeral revolutionary regime held sway which has been variously hailed as the first volley of Marxism or the last stand of Cloudcuckooland. Since Aristonicus did not hesitate to openly proclaim class warfare against the bourgeoisie of Pergamum, even restrained scholars label his City of the Sun as a “proletarian state”. Ironically, though he challenged the majesty of Rome, Aristonicus won the support…
The Opium Addiction of Marcus Aurelius

Stoics, Cynics, and the Spartan Revolution
In one of the supreme ironies of history, the austere Lycurgan system at Sparta failed in its primary aim – the fossilization of martial virtue – and succeeded in military victories, the heady profits of which undermined the precarious communism of the bivouac state. Conditioned to repress fear, the Spartan compensated by indulging greed – bribery, not cowardice, was his fatal weakness. After the collapse of the Spartan Empire at the Battle of Le…
