Athens at the Margins: Pottery and People in the Early Mediterranean World
How the interactions of non-elites influenced Athenian material culture and society The seventh century BC in ancient Greece is referred to as the Orientalizing period because of the strong presence of Near Eastern elements in art and culture. Conventional narratives argue that goods and knowledge flowed from East to West through cosmopolitan elites. Rejecting this explanation, Athens at the Margins proposes a new narrative of the origins behind …

Talismanic Practice at Lefkandi: Trinkets, Burials and Belief in the Early Iron Age
Excavations at Lefkandi have dispelled much of the gloom enshrouding the Early Iron Age, revealing a community with significant disposable wealth and with connections throughout the Mediterranean. The eastern imports in particular have drawn scholarly attention, with discussion moving from questions of production and transportation to issues surrounding consumption. This article draws attention to some limitations in prevalent socio-political exp…
Conclusion
The trajectory of this book, from public spaces to increasingly intimate media, has revealed the variety of ways in which the war dead were made present in fifth-century Athens and exposed the conflicts and debates over how to remember the dead as the visual rhetoric of public and private commemorations intersected, overlapped, and diverged. It has demonstrated that the physical presence of the war dead—a corpse on a battlefield—was transformed t…
Private Engagement with Civic Death
This chapter begins by tracing the contours of an atmosphere of restraint in the fifth century. The community placed social restrictions on personal representation, but it needed leaders, and the elite desired recognition. In this context, the emerging concept of death for the city offered the elite a means to obviate criticism of portraits through demonstrated civic service. Posthumous portraits of men and portraits in votive reliefs engaged in …
Mass Ashes: The Origins and Impact of an “Ancestral Custom”
This chapter evaluates changes in the spectacle of the corpse in fifth-century Athens. It describes private burial of the war dead in the sixth century and contrasts it with public burial in the fifth century, which here receives a detailed treatment and reconstruction. Using literary and archaeological evidence, including recent discoveries of commemoration for the Marathon dead, it argues that the institution of public burial emerged around 500…
Ashes, Images, and Memories: The Presence of the War Dead in Fifth-Century Athens
This study argues that the institution of public burial for the war dead and images of the deceased in civic and sacred spaces fundamentally changed how people conceived of military casualties. In a period characterized by war and the threat of civil strife, the nascent democracy claimed the fallen for the city and commemorated them with rituals and images that shaped a civic ideology of struggle and self-sacrifice on behalf of a unified communit…
Topographic Semantics: The Location of the Athenian Public Cemetery and Its Significance for the Nascent Democracy
In this article, the author seeks to understand the place of the demosion sema, the public cemetery of Athens, within the Athenian physical and cognitive landscape. The archaeological and literary evidence shows that the cemetery was established ca. 500 B.C., along the road from the Dipylon Gate to the Academy. This was an area with few pre-Classical burials but strong religious and civic associations. Here the nascent democracy shaped a new spac…
