ΠΤΑΝΟΙΣ ΠΟΣΙΝ. Poeti vaganti, musici e conferenzieri di età ellenistica. Parte I – Delo e le Cicladi, written by A. Cinalli
Luxury and Wealth in Sparta and the Peloponnese
Alexander II of Epirus
Being the successor of an important father (Pyrrhos), Alexander II abandoned his father's grandiose plans and limited his power (except for a brief invasion of Macedonia during the Chremonidean war) to Epirus and the neighbouring areas of northwestern Greece. His name appears in one of the edicts of the Buddhist Emperor Asoka, who ruled India in the third century bce .
Agon
The agon was a permanent feature of ancient Greek life. Competition and rivalry mobilized various mechanisms that contributed to the formation and development of the Greek city‐state and its society. The agon found its main manifestation in athletic, hippic, musical, and dramatic contests ( agones ), which were an integral part of many Greek festivals and thus part of the cult of gods or deified mortals. The contests had interesting organizationa…
Ruler cult, Greek and Hellenistic
The worship of mortals goes back to the hero worship that had been widespread in Greece. During the fourth century bce we have the first cases of mortals who were holders of political power and received cultic honors. The phenomenon spread especially after Alexander, whose cult engendered several reactions, both in Macedonian circles and in Greek cities. The Hellenistic kings, who were supposed to have qualities that brought them close to the god…
Artists of Dionysus: The First Professional Associations in the Ancient Greek World
By the early third century BC, musicians and people of the theatre with varied specializations, who participated in the Greek music contests (technitai tou Dionysou), began to organize themselves into associations, which can be deemed as the first professional associations in the Greek world. These associations were acting on behalf of their members as their ‘art agents’, but also on behalf of the organizers of festivals and contests (cities, kin…

Greek Strategies of Adaptation to the Roman World: The Case of the Contests
This article examines strategies that made it possible for Greek contests and the professionals who were engaged in them to retain their identity in the Roman Empire while they adapted to the circumstances of the new era. In their efforts to preserve and to enhance existing prestige and privilege, the organizers and others who were involved in the contests attempted both to exploit the past and to establish links to the new Roman power. The conse…
Ruler cult, Greek and Hellenistic
Divine honors for mortals who had political and/or military power were not an invention of the Greek world.
Agon
The contest ( agon ) is one of the main manifestations of the Greek way of life and expresses two basic constituents of the Greek spirit: competition and rivalry. It is interesting to note that, alongside Hermes Enagonios, Agon itself was personified and depicted in a statue at Olympia.
Alexander II of Epirus
Son of king Pyrrhos by Lanassa (daughter of Agathokles of Syracuse), born in 294/3 BCE (Diod. Sic. 22.8.2; Paus. 4.35.3; Plut. Pyrrh . 9), Alexander II had three children, Pyrrhos, Phthia, and Ptolemy, from his marriage to Olympias (Just. Epit. 28.22). Alexander accompanied his father on the expedition to Italy and became king of the Molossians in 272 after the death of Pyrrhos at Argos. He abandoned his father's conquests in the Peloponnese, Mac…
World travellers: The associations of Artists of Dionysus
Patterns of mobility on the part of poets and musicians in any society and in any given period are likely to be determined by three factors: first, key features of the society they are operating in, such as its cultural and political divisions, and conditions of travel and communication; second, the existence of opportunities for performance that might attract performers, such as festivals and competitions; and third, aspects of the professional …
Wandering Poets in Ancient Greek Culture: Travel, Locality and Pan-Hellenism
Although recent scholarship has focused on the city-state as the context for the production of Greek poetry, for poets and performers travel was more the norm than the exception. This book traces this central aspect of ancient culture from its roots in the near Eastern societies which preceded the Greeks, through the way in which early semi-mythical figures such as Orpheus were imagined, the poets who travelled to the brilliant courts of archaic …
Städtische Kulte im hellenistischen Gymnasion
Les synagonistes du théâtre grec aux époques hellénistique et romaine: Une Question De Terminologie Et De Fonction
The verb συναγωνίζομαι and the noun συναγωνιστής had two meanings in the Greek agonistic life : 1/ « to participate with other people in a contest », and 2/ « to compete together for the same prize » or « to assist somebody in a competition ». This second meaning very often concerns the musical and dramatic contests. It refers to all specialists whose disciplines were not rewarded with a prize : secondary actors (συναγωνισταΐ κωμικοί/τραγικοί), t…
