Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C.
Artisan versus artist in Archaic and Classical Cyprus
Bien que beaucoup de statues chypriotes de diverses tailles soient pourvues d’inscriptions en syllabaire ou en caractères grecs déclarant les noms des personnages, nous ne connaissons que quatre ou cinq attestations de noms de sculpteur. C’est évidemment le contraire de la situation en Grèce « métropolitaine » où les artistes signent couramment les sculptures, comme les céramiques. Diverses inscriptions phéniciennes (surtout celles de Kition) don…
Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C
Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C. analyzes the broad character of art produced during this period, providing in-depth analysis of and commentary on many of its most notable examples of sculpture and painting. Taking into consideration developments in style and subject matter, and elucidating political, religious, and intellectual context, William A. P. Childs argues that Greek art in this era was a natural outgrowth of the high …
The image of women in the Archaic period
Il est risqué de recourir aux images pour expliquer les structures sociales dans la mesure où le regard moderne diffère beaucoup du regard antique. L’écart entre la représentation des hommes et des femmes à Chypre aux VIe-début Ve s. av. J.-C. semble révéler une société où l’homme est fortement dominant, à en juger par la prédominance des figures masculines dans la grande sculpture de calcaire. Mais la qualité essentielle de l’art chypriote est s…

Ancient Art from Cyprus
Kition in the Tenth to Fourth Centuries B. C
Texts of the biblical and classical traditions and inscriptions recovered during recent French and Cypriot excavations give Kition an important place among the Cypriot cities of the first millennium B. C. Kition is distinguished by its Phoenician character. There are two phases in the history of the city in the first millennium: the first from the Phoenician colonization to the arrival of the Persians (ninth to the end of the sixth century B. C.)…
The Iron Age Kingdom of Marion
Princeton University archaeology teams have been digging at Polis Chrysochous (ancient Marion and Arsinoe), Cyprus, since 1983. Good evidence for the Iron Age is limited to sanctuaries of the seventh and sixth centuries B. C. but there are also scattered traces of earlier periods. The rare domestic remains are very poorly preserved in shallow deposits. Foreign contacts begin in the seventh century but first become important in the sixth century, …
Lycian Relations with Persians and Greeks in the Fifth and Fourth Centuries Re-examined
Between 547/6 and 541/0 Cyrus the Great defeated Croesus and the Persian Empire reached the Aegean. In the years following, his general, Harpagus the Mede, subdued the coastal Greek cities and sacked Xanthos which put up a struggle to the last. It is to be assumed that the rest of Lycia fell without event. Western and southwestern Asia Minor was divided into two administrative areas, Lydia and Ionia (Yauna). Although the Lydian satrapy was often …
The Authorship of the Inscribed Pillar of Xanthos
The Inscribed Pillar of Xanthos is the most elaborate example of the Lycian pillar tombs. It is important for its reliefs preserved in London and Istanbul but particularly for the long historical inscription in Lycian which covers the south, east, and half of the north side of the pillar shaft. This is followed on the north side by a Greek epigram and a moderately long inscription on the remainder of the north and the whole west side in Lycian B …
