Pericles of Athens
A Treatise on Efficacy
In this highly insightful analysis of Western and Chinese concepts of efficacy, François Jullien subtly delves into the metaphysical preconceptions of the two civilizations to account for diverging patterns of action in warfare, politics, and diplomacy. He shows how Western and Chinese strategies work in several domains (the battlefield, for example) and analyzes two resulting acts of war. The Chinese strategist manipulates his own troops and the…

The Birth of Critical Thinking in Republican Rome
In this classic work, now appearing in English for the first time, Claudia Moatti analyses the intellectual transformation that occurred at the end of the Roman Republic in response both to the political crisis and to the city's expansion across the Mediterranean. This was a period of great cultural dynamism and creativity when Roman intellectuals, most notably Cicero and Varro, began to explore all areas of life and knowledge and to apply critic…

Pericles and Athenian Imperialism
This chapter examines the role that Pericles played in the establishment of Athenian imperialism. It asks whether Pericles tried to check the imperial dynamic or whether he acted as its catalyst, and whether it is possible to speak already of Athenian imperialism at the time when Pericles was exercising a decisive influence on the destiny of the city. The discussion begins with an analysis of Pericles' role in the Delian League's development and …
Pericles and Eros
This chapter examines two contradictory aspects of eros in Pericles' life. In the Greek world, eros did not correspond to any romantic sentiment, nor did it bear any similarity to the wishy-washy notion nowadays conjured up by “love.” Whether homosexual or heterosexual, eros was first and foremost a connective force or, at times, a disconnective one. As a connective force, eros linked individuals together. As a force for disconnection, it was cap…
Pericles and His Circle
This chapter focuses on Pericles' family circle and his network of friends. It first considers Pericles' marriage to show how kinship structures functioned in Athens before discussing the tension between oikos and polis , the private sphere and the public space, in Pericles' refusal to take part in even the most elementary rituals of family sociability. It then examines how Pericles neglected the traditional forms of friendship and the sociabilit…
Pericles and the City Gods
This chapter examines Pericles' personal relations with the city gods and how his career as a stratēgos illuminates the Athenians' collective relationship to all that was divine. As a reelected stratēgos and a persuasive orator, Pericles was the spokesman of a civic religion that was undergoing a mutation. He was engaged in various religious activities at a time when the city was introducing profound changes into its religious account of its orig…
The Bases of Periclean Power
This chapter examines another base of Pericles' political power: as orator. In Athens, a city rapidly moving toward democratization, persuasive oratory played a key role. Pericles was a master not only of public speaking but also of the art of remaining silent or, to be more precise, of getting his political allies to speak in his place. The chapter first considers the nature of Pericles' rhetoric and his mastery of the art of persuasion in the c…
The Individual and Democracy
This chapter examines Pericles' impact on Athenian democracy, and more specifically whether the stratēgos was an all-powerful figure or an evanescent one, and how his actions interacted with the will of the people. It begins with a discussion of what was perceived by his opponents as Pericles' link to the tyrants of Athens. It then explores Pericles' role in the great building projects that included monuments, along with the ways that comic poetr…
A Periclean Economy?
This chapter examines the nature of the economic prosperity of Athens during the time of Pericles. It first considers the existence of a Periclean oikonomia in relation to the birth of a “market economy” and “marketable agriculture”—agriculture whose products were destined for the marketplace—in Athens before describing Pericles' mode of managing his oikos . It then discusses the development of the Athenian economy under Pericles based on the rev…
An Ordinary Young Athenian Aristocrat?
This chapter explores the genealogical, economic, and cultural trump cards that were held by the young Pericles at the point when he stealthily embarked upon his political career. At the time of Pericles' birth, there was no “aristocracy” in Athens in the sense of a system in which hereditary power was held by a few great families. The chapter first provides a background on Pericles' ancestry before discussing the rumors surrounding the fortune o…
The Bases of Periclean Power
This chapter examines one of the bases of Pericles' political power: as military leader, which rests upon the office of a stratēgos . It first considers the institutional and military mainsprings of Pericles' authority before discussing the function of a stratēgos and the reasons why the role played by this office was so crucial in Athens. It then explores how Pericles set up a veritable policy for glory, even to the point of singing the praises …
Pericles of Athens
Pericles of Athens
Pericles has had the rare distinction of giving his name to an entire period of history, embodying what has often been taken as the golden age of the ancient Greek world. “Periclean” Athens witnessed tumultuous political and military events, and achievements of the highest order in philosophy, drama, poetry, oratory, and architecture. This is the first book in more than two decades to reassess the life and legacy of one of the greatest generals, …

The Poetics of Eros in Ancient Greece
The Poetics of Eros in Ancient Greece offers the first comprehensive inquiry into the deity of sexual love, a power that permeated daily Greek life. Avoiding Foucault's philosophical paradigm of dominance/submission, Claude Calame uses an anthropological and linguistic approach to re-create indigenous categories of erotic love. He maintains that Eros, the joyful companion of Aphrodite, was a divine figure around which poets constructed a physiolo…

Phrasikleia
First published in French in 1988, this extraordinary book traces the meaning and function of reading from its very beginnings in Greek oral culture through the development of silent reading.One of the most haunting early examples of Greek alphabetical writing appears on the life-sized Archaic funerary statue of a young girl. The inscription speaks for Phrasikleia, who "shall always be called maiden," for she has received this name from the gods …
Cults, Territory, and the Origins of the Greek City-State
How did the classical Greek city come into being? What role did religion play its formation? Athens, with its ancient citadel and central cult, has traditionally been the model for the emergence of the Greek city-state. But this original and controversial investigation, Francois de Polignac suggests that the Athenian model was probably the exception, not the rule, the development of the polis ancient Greece. Combining archaeological and textual e…

From Munich to the Liberation, 1938-1944
This is a vivid and highly readable account of the most complex and disturbing series of events in French history since the Revolution, which makes use of contemporary literature and films in addition to a vast range of more conventional sources. As such, it will become a standard addition to the literature on the Second World War. It provides an up-to-date, detailed narrative: from the false hopes of the Munich agreement of 1938, through the Ger…

China and the Christian Impact. A Conflict of Cultures
China and the Christian Impact
Jacques Gernet's invigorating new book turns the tables on traditional approaches to the history of Christianity in China, presenting for the first time a coherent analysis of the impact of Christianity in the seventeenth century from the Chinese point of view. The aim is to reveal what the Chinese said and wrote about the Jesuit missionaries and, beyond this, to ask a profound general question: to what extent do the reactions of the Chinese at t…

The Mirror of Herodotus
Herodotus's great work is not only an account of the momentous historical conflict between the Greeks and the Persians but also the earliest sustained exploration in the West of the problem of cultural difference. Francois Hartog asks fundamental questions about how Herodotus represented this difference. How did he and his readers understand the customs and beliefs of those who were not Greek? How did the historian convince his readers that his a…
