Society and economy
Open AccessM M AustinCHAPTERThe Cambridge Ancient History…1994
The central theme of this chapter is the impact of war on the Greek world in the first half of the fourth century B.C. Thucydides described the Peloponnesian War as the greatest disturbance in Greek history, a war that came to affect almost the whole of the Greek world and part of the non-Greek world as well. His verdict was amply verified by subsequent events. Not every Greek state was affected at once or to the same degree. The central Peloponn…

Open AccessM M AustinARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1990Cited by: 32References: 5
The word ‘tyrant’ was not originally Greek, but borrowed from some eastern language, perhaps in western Asia Minor. On the other hand, tyranny as it developed in the Greek cities in the archaic age would seem to have been initially an indigenous growth, independent of any intervention by foreign powers. It then became a constantly recurring phenomenon of Greek political and social life, so long as the Greeks enjoyed an independent history
Hellenistic kings, War, and the Economy
Open AccessM M AustinARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1986Cited by: 94References: 8
My title links together kings, war, and the economy, and the linkage is deliberate. I do not of course wish to suggest that Hellenistic kings did nothing but fight wars, that they were responsible for all the wars in the period, that royal wars were nothing but a form of economic activity, or that the economy of the kings was dependent purely on the fruits of military success, though there would be an element of truth in all these propositions. B…
