Isokrates: The Forensic Speeches (Nos. 16–21)
The Athenian Isokrates (436–338 BC) is well-known for his long career as an educator and pundit; but originally he wrote 'forensic' speeches, i.e. for delivery in court. Six of them survive (five from Athens, one from Aigina), on issues including assault, fraud and inheritance. Here for the first time, after a General Introduction, they are presented and analysed in depth as a self-contained group. The Greek text and a facing English translation …

Xenophon: Poroi: (Revenue-Sources) Cahs
This volume showcases for the first time in the Clarendon Ancient History Series one of the best-known prose authors of classical Athens: Xenophon. Poroi (or, Revenue-Sources) was the final work of his large and varied output, written in the mid-350s BCE at a time when Athens had failed to prevent the collapse of her second Aegean 'empire', and was impoverished and demoralized in consequence. Back in Athens after a lifetime abroad, the elderly Xe…
Mind Your Language”
A case study approach was used to examine the potential knowledge-transforming role of writing with 27, Year 12 chemistry students’. The study was prompted by changes to external chemistry examinations that required students to write connected discourse, and supported by the chemistry teacher's belief in the instructional value of writing-to-learn. The teacher modeled exemplars of laboratory reports, scaffold students in the use of a Laboratory R…
The Evidence of Things Unseen
This article analyzes allegations of fraud and deception in two popular evangelical Christian "mommy blogs" in order to demonstrate how the rhetoric of authenticity in social media plays a central role in the formation of online communities. I argue that a personal religious blogger together with her readers constitutes an ongoing public conversation and community, one that is held together by a kind of belief or trust in the truthful representat…
Hypereides' Timandros
Spiteful heaven
When seen or presumed in the actions of gods rather than of men, phthonos (‘spite’) has traditionally been regarded as a disturbingly “primitive” form of behaviour, punishing those who have done nothing to deserve punishment (but are simply too successful or prosperous for the deity’s liking), and chiefly manifesting itself in such authors as Herodotus and such genres as Attic tragedy. After the fifth century BC, orthodoxy holds, this gives way t…

Fact and fantasy in Greek military writers
This paper focuses on a group of ten ancient Greek authors who, even in a world where warfare was endemic, can be classified as expressly military writers. They deal with scenarios of either battle or siege, and they show differing blends of realism and fantasy in doing so. Nine of the ten, most recently Athenaeus Mechanicus, have received appropriate attention in modern scholarship; the tenth, Apollodorus of Damascus, is in need of closer (and m…

Hypereides
The Athenian lawyer-politician Hypereides (390/89-322 BC) - a central figure in Athenian political life, patriot, bon viveur, contemporary of Demosthenes, and one of the canonical Ten Attic Orators - was credited in antiquity with more than seventy speeches. All were lost until the second half of the nineteenth century, when papyrus finds in Egypt recovered (in whole or part) six, five of them forensic. David Whitehead has for the first time prov…
Selected Papers in Greek and near Eastern History
Esclavage, guerre, économie en Grèce ancienne
Le monde grec antique s'il n'a rien perdu pour nous de son exotisme se désenchante peu à peu pour nous apparaître aujourd'hui sous un jour plus prosaïque. L'Histoire Ancienne a, en effet, accompli dans les dernières décennies des avancées remarquables en renouvelant profondément son questionnement sur le double aspect matériel et idéel des pratiques sociales. La compréhension de l'esclavage, de la guerre et de l'économie sont au coeur de ces prob…
The myth of the hoplite's hoplon
‘Hoplites are troops who take their name from their shields’. ‘The individual infantryman took his name, hoplites , from the hoplon or shield’. Such is the orthodox view. This paper will endeavour to show that its basis is inadequate. Rather, we shall argue, hoplites took their name from their arms and armour as a whole, their hopla in that all-encompassing sense; so that the original and essential meaning of the word hoplite was nothing more tha…

Immigrant Communities in the Classical Polis
The metics of Athens represent by far our best-known example of a community of free immigrants - neither citizens nor slaves - in any classical Greek polis ; however, a thin scatter of data reveals that the existence of groups comparable in name (---oikoi) was widespread. The way to approach these data is not, as in M. Gere's study of 1 898, to assume the universality of the Athenian metic-system in all its details, but to construct a model of lo…

The ideology of the Athenian metic
Nine years being nobody's idea of a significant anniversary, it will be understood that there is no celebratory intent in my returning here – with the kind permission of the Editors – to The Ideology of the Athenian Metic . Nor does it represent an author's peevish response to reviewers' nit-pickings, just or unjust. Rather, two purposes are to be served. The first is simply to bring together some of the less inconsequential addenda and corrigend…
The Archaic Athenian ΖΕΥΓΙΤΑΙ
It seems to be widely agreed by modern scholars that when Solon created his four census-classes ( τ⋯λη ) in early sixth-century Athens (Plut. Sol. 18. 1–2) he gave to at least three of them – the ἱππεῖς , the ζευγῖται and the θ⋯τες – names which were in pre-existing use there. But what, if so, did the names signify, before being assigned their new, official, quantitative (and semantically colourless) Solonic sense? The archaic Athenian θ⋯τες were…

Women and Naturalisation in Fourth-Century Athens
What we know of citizenship, marriage and political status in Athens in the fourth century suggests that they were matters of no little public concern governed by a body of law which left few, if any, significant loopholes or anomalies. The ‘descent group’ criterion for citizenship had triumphed over the possible alternatives. The fundament of the system was the Periklean law (or laws) of 451/0, re-enacted in 403/2, and prescribing double endogam…

Two Notes on Greek Suicide
Near the end of the fifth book of Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle has a brief discussion (1138a6–14) of suicide, to illustrate the question of whether one can wrong one's self. Suicide, he declares, is not enjoined by law, and what law does not enjoin, it forbids. Thus the suicide does do wrong – but to whom or what? Surely the polis, not himself (for his suffering is voluntary, and no one wrongs himself voluntarily). δι κα πλις ζημιοῖ, κα ις τιμα π…
Kinetic Art
Aristotle the metic
‘Le fondateur du Lycée était à Athènes un métèque; cette position marginale est pour quelque chose dans son détachement et sa lucidité.’ Thus a recent and stimulating commentary upon the economic and social structure of Greek society, in a formulation of the obvious difference between Plato's participation in and Aristotle's observation of contemporary political phenomena. In one area, however, it was Aristotle rather than Plato whose experience …
Kinetic Art
We have collaborated in the making of kinetic art constructions during the past 10 years. One of us (R.W.) is trained in the visual arts and the other (D.W.) in architecture, and the works we have produced benefited from our different backgrounds [1]. Initially, we dealt primarily with the aspects of coloured light obtained by reflection from components of a construction in motion. We then developed the idea of incorporating colours in the constr…

Archaic and Classical Greece
The aim of this book is to collect in one comprehensive volume a representative selection of ancient sources in translation, with commentary, on the history, institutions, society and economy of the Greek world from c. 750 to 338 BC - that is, the period best known and most important for the evolution of the polis, a form of political community which combined the aspects of city and state in a physical and psychological unity unparalleled either …

The Demes of Attica, 508/7 -ca. 250 B.C
This work is a richly detailed study of the nature and development of the 139 Attic demes, the local units that made up the city-state of Athens during the classical and early Hellenistic periods. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the origin…

The Lakonian Key
‘I can make nothing’, declared Paul Cartledge in this journal some years ago, ‘of the “Lakonian key” first attested in Aristophanes ( Thesm. 423)’. (For other attestations see Aristophon, Peirithous , fr. 7 Kassel-Austin; Menander, Misoumenos , fr. 8 Sandbach (10 Koerte); Plautus, Mostellaria 404–5, cf. 419–26.)
