  • John Ellis Jones

    Open AccessGraham Shipley, D Graham J Shipley et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2025

    This memoir of John Ellis Jones, best known for his contributions to the Classical archaeology of rural Attica, traces his early studies in North Wales, his first encounters with Greece in the early 1950s, his family life, and the teaching posts he held at the University of Leicester (1957–8) and at the University College of North Wales (now Bangor University) – the latter for 37 years until his formal retirement in 1995, after which he continued…

    Open AccessGraham Shipley, D Graham J Shipley et al.BOOKGeographers of the Ancient Greek…2024

    Ancient Greek geographical writing is represented not just by the surviving works of the well-known authors Strabo, Pausanias, and Ptolemy, but also by many other texts dating from the Archaic to the Late Antique period. Most of these texts are, however, hard for non-specialists to find, and many have never been translated into English. This volume, the work of an international team of experts, presents the most important thirty-six texts in new,…

  • Introduction

    Graham ShipleyCHAPTERWar and Society in the Greek World2020

    For modern historians, the issue of war is sometimes posed in terms of the need to understand it in order to help future statesmen prevent it. The usual Greek word for violent inter-communal conflict is polemos , correctly rendered in English, depending on the context, as ‘war’, ‘warfare’, or ‘wartime’. The Peloponnesian war looks like a particular occurrence of a general social phenomenon; the name makes the reader think, consciously or unconsci…

    The Greek World After Alexander 323–30 BC examines social changes in the old and new cities of the Greek world and in the new post-Alexandrian kingdoms. An appraisal of the momentous military and political changes after the era of Alexander, this book considers developments in literature, religion, philosophy, and science, and establishes how far they are presented as radical departures from the culture of Classical Greece or were continuous deve…

    Graham ShipleyCHAPTERHellenistic Oratory Continuity…2013

    This Afterword places the rest of the book within the wider scholarly context, provides a ‘bird's eye’ view of the chapters, and highlights some of the key contributions they make. In particular, it draws attention to the recent advances in scholarly understanding of the Hellenistic period and points out the timeliness of a specialized study into its oratory. At the same time, it adduces a further example of Hellenistic oratory in action: Lysimac…

  • Pseudo-Skylax and the Natural Philosophers

    Open AccessGraham Shipley, D Graham J ShipleyARTICLEThe Journal of Hellenic Studies2012

    This paper seeks to establish an intellectual context for the periplous of Pseudo-Skylax (probably written in or near Athens in 338 to ca . 337 BC). The unknown author is aware of the work of contemporary natural philosophers, including those in the post-Platonic Academy and those who were to form the Peripatos, especially Aristotle, Theophrastos and Dikaiarchos. Among known writers, Dikaiarchos is most likely to have written the periplous ; but …

    Graham ShipleyBOOKPseudo-Skylax's Periplous2012

    The Periplous--often attributed to Skylax of Karyanda but in fact written by an unknown author during the fourth century BC--describes the coasts of the Mediterranean and Black Seas as known by the ancient Greeks in great detail, noting towns, rivers, harbors, and mountains. This is the first full edition of the Periplous to be published since 1855, and the first complete English translation

    Les auteurs grecs et latins sont unanimes à déplorer le « déclin » des cités de Grèce continentale à l’époque hellénistique et sous l’Empire romain, hormis dans le domaine culturel. À leur suite, la tradition historiographique a accrédité l’idée qu’après la conquête d’Alexandre, il fallait se tourner vers l’est de l’Égée, en Orient et en Égypte pour retrouver des États grecs dynamiques. Ce colloque international tenu à l’Université François-Rabel…

  • The Polis and Federalism

    Open AccessGraham Shipley, D Graham J Shipley et al.CHAPTERThe Cambridge companion to the…2006

    The Polis in the Classical Period and After Classical Hellas - both Old Greece and the wider world of Hellenic colonies in the Mediterranean and Black Seas - has often been called “a world of cities” and with good reason. The polis (city-state; plural poleis ) was one of the central institutions of Greek society. Yet, modern historians have sometimes claimed that there was a fundamental change in the Hellenistic period. It has even been asserted …

    A Period Undervalued In the last twenty years, there has been a quiet revolution in Hellenistic studies. To obtain reliable overviews of the period and its problems, English readers used to have to rely chiefly on large tomes or multivolume works, often decades old; specialist material was mainly in foreign-language scholarly journals. Now there is a wealth of new, high-quality yet accessible scholarship - not only in English - most noticeably in…

  • Between Macedonia and Rome

    Open AccessGraham ShipleyARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2005Cited by: 2References: 14

    This paper examines the nature and extent of changes in landscapes, societies, and economies in the numerous city-states of the Peloponnese under Macedonian domination (338–196 BC). Emigration and warfare may have had limited and short-term impacts. While Macedonian rule may have been oppressive before and after the Chremonidean war, it did not necessarily disrupt local economies and politics. The Antigonids did not run the Peloponnese as a provi…

  • Lakedaimon

    Graham ShipleyCHAPTERan inventory of archaic and…2004

    The polis of Sparte (no. 345) (in the local Doric dialect Sparta) was also called Lakedaimon. Its citizens, the Spartiatai (Spartans, Spartiates) were the dominant class in a larger state whose members were the Lakedaimonioi. Thus all Spartans were Lakedaimonians, but most Lakedaimonians were not Spartans. All Lakedaimonians were free and were citizens of poleis; but the other poleis were dependent upon Sparta, and their citizens were known as th…

  • Messenia

    Graham ShipleyCHAPTERan inventory of archaic and…2004

    Perhaps no region of Mainland Greece can be regarded as typical in how it adopted the polis, but Messenia may be more unusual than most, for the simple reason that between C8l and C4e it had no autonomous civic communities, but was ruled by a colonial power, the Lakedaimonians. Such poleis as existed before its first, partial liberation in 369 were perioikic poleis dependent on Sparta. Four can be identified with a high degree of confidence: Aith…
