The Greek Tyrants
First Published in 1956 The Greek Tyrants is concerned primarily with an early period of Greek history, when the aristocracies which ruled in the eighth and seventh centuries were losing control of their cities and were very often overthrown by a tyranny, which in its turn gave way to the oligarchies and democracies of the classical period. The tyrants who seized power from time to time in various cities of Greece are analogous to the dictators o…
The Government of Classical Sparta
The Spartan Resurgence
At Sparta envoys from Chios and Erythrae were supported by one from Tissaphernes, satrap of Sardis. At the end of summer a major Athenian force reached Samos under Phrynichus. Near the end of winter the Athenian conference with Tissaphernes took place, at which Pisander and his colleagues first agreed to surrender all Ionia but at the third session they baulked at the demand that the King should be allowed to build and sail as many ships as he wi…
The Peace of Nicias and the Sicilian Expedition
Argos had done well out of her neutrality in the Archidamian War, and the prospect of leadership in a new alliance appealed to a people conscious of their heroic past. Mantinean democracy was a further bond with Argos. Many historians have blamed Athens for not supporting her Peloponnesian allies with larger forces in 418, attributing this to indecision between the policies of Nicias and Alcibiades. Thucydides comments on the fact that Sparta did…
The Tyranny of Pisistratus
Solon to Pisistratus Solon's reform broke the monopoly of office enjoyed till his time by the Attic nobility. This was bound to be resented, and the following years were punctured by strife over the appointment of the archon. The bleak record in Ath. Pol. 13.1–2 tells of two occasions when faction prevented an appointment, and then of Damasias who, though legitimately archon, held on to office for two years and two months till he was driven out b…
The growth of the Athenian state
The unification of Attica The Iliad speaks of the Athenians as a single people. Homeric references to them are indeed sparse and disputable: it is anomalous that the Athenian entry in the Catalogue (II. 546–56) names only Athens itself, whereas elsewhere a king's own city is followed by a string of further place-names, the places where his warriors lived. Whatever the date when this entry was composed or the reasons for its abnormality, it is fur…

Spartan Imperialism?
The query in my title indicates a doubt about the reality of Spartan imperialism, as distinct from the ambitions of individual Spartans and their followers. Lysander tried to create something that we can fairly call an empire; twenty years earlier we have the foundation of Herakleia Trachinia, and we must at least consider whether the thinking behind that grandiose project could be called imperialistic; earlier still the regent Pausanias after th…
Imperialism in the Ancient World
The economics of imperialism, its political background and institutional frameworks, the material benefits it conferred, the ideologies of ruler and ruled - these are some of the more important aspects of imperialism discussed in this volume. In presenting the evidence for ancient imperialims and suggesting concepts and methods of interpretation these articles, which are the work of the Cambridge University Research Seminar in Ancient History, ra…
Kleisthenes' Reform Bill
Modern research has done much to elucidate the question what the reforms of Kleisthenes in fact achieved, and the work continues, but that does not settle the question what he was trying to achieve. Herodotos gives him a political motive in outline, that he brought the people over to his side because he had been defeated in a struggle for power against Isagoras (5.66.2); and in resuming this proposition after a digression he describes the Athenia…

The Arginousai Trial
THE TRIAL of the generals who won the victory at Arginousai in 406 has been studied for the light it throws on Athenian law and procedure,' and has been held up as an example of the excesses of mob rule at Athens or of the hysteria induced by the long war.2 The mere facts of the case have been discussed less often, apart from Cloch6's full analysis of many possibilities in RHist 130 (1919) 5-68. Xenophon's version holds undisputed sway in our tex…
A Historical Commentary on Thucydides. Volume IV
Two Notes on Lysander
CONSIDERING THE EVIDENT importance of Lysander's organisation of a Spartan empire, we are curiously ill-informed about the detail. We are uncertain about his mere physical movements in almost every month of the crucial period between Aigospotamoi and Pausanias' settlement at Athens. Though there are general statements in plenty, we can name only one city in which a decarchy was certainly set up, Samos (Xen. Hell. 2.3.7; cf. Parke 52). Question ha…

The Mytilene Debate
THE REVOLT OF MYTILENE in 428 was felt the more keenly at Athens because it was the very deliberate revolt of a specially favoured ally. When the news arrived that the city had surrendered to Paches, a decree was passed in anger that the adult males should be executed and the women and children enslaved. The order was sent off at once, but a revulsion of feeling the next day caused a second debate to be held, for which Thucydides has given us two…

The Melian Dialogue and Perikles' Last Speech
The Melian Dialogue is too eccentric to be explained solely in terms of its immediate context. It will here be maintained that it represents primarily a stage in Thucydides' struggle to reconcile his admiration for the Athenian empire with his feeling that empire was somehow immoral. This essay is thus necessarily concerned with his general views on empire; for which the last speech assigned to Perikles is important evidence. I. THE DIALOGUE AND …
Thucydides on the Causes of the War
It is no doubt often salutary, even a necessary condition of progress, that we should shelve the great problems of a preceding generation without precisely solving them; but a controversy may be shelved too soon, and I fear this may have been the case with the great ‘Thucydidean question’ as it stood in the days of Wilamowitz and Schwartz. The analysts said some wild things, and their disagreements about early and late passages, or about the rang…

Sparta and Arcadia in the Early Fifth Century
TEISAMENOS of Elis, a hereditary seer of the family Iamidai, was promised five great victories by the Pythia. The Spartans, guessing that the oracle meant war not sport, took pains to acquire Teisamenos for their army, and the five victories were duly won, beginning with Plataea and ending with Tanagra (Her. 9. 33, 35). Wilamowitz (Isyllos yon Epidauros 162 ff.) saw that this explained an eccentricity in the construction of the sixth Olympian, in…

The Corinthian Actaeon and Pheidon of Argos
The story of Actaeon of Corinth is a slight, rationalized, romantic version of the original Boeotian myth, and as such has occasionally received a brief notice. In the Corinthian story Melissos his father (or Habron his grandfather) had rescued Corinth from an attack by Pheidon of Argos, and was therefore held in great honour by the Corinthians. The boy Actaeon was torn to pieces not by his dogs but by bis drunken Bacchiad admirers, and after the…
Ephoros Book I and the Kings of Argos
Ephoros is known to have conceived each of his books as a unit with a specific theme, so that where we have any quantity of material it is worth while asking what the theme of a book was supposed to be. Clearly Ephoros i was about the return of the Herakleidai and the early history of the Peloponnese, but that defines the starting-point, not the scope of the book: I propose to argue that he presented here the contrast of the three Heraklid kingdo…
Eunomia
Eunomia was early personified. Already in Hesiod she is one of the three Horai, the child of Themis and the sister of Dike and Eirene, and from her family we may learn something of her nature. Both mother and sisters are concerned with the individual as the member of a community rather than as persomn in himself. Themis is a complicated character, whose implications cannot here be discussed, but we may without offence call her the mother of the s…
The Greek Tyrants
Athens and Aegina, 510–480 B.C
At v. 94–5 Herodotus has often been accused of combining into a single war events separated in fact by half a century. At v. 81–9 and vi. 87–93 his critics take a different turn. He here presents us with three wars between Athens and Aegina, one (v. 82–8) in remote antiquity, another (v. 81 and 89) about 505 B.C., and another (vi. 87–93) between 491 and 490: and it is sometimes asserted that he has here split up a single war and scattered its par…
