Athenian beliefs about revenge
In a short article published in The Classical Quarterly , Professor W.V. Harris questioned some of the opinions that I have put forward concerning revenge in Athenian society. His reservations presupposed certain methodological premises that he believes the researcher should adopt when dealing with ancient sources that reveal sentiments and emotions. In expressing the aforementioned opinions I criticised these premises by implication, but without…
Le Parrainage, ' L'Hospitalité ' et L'Expansion du Christianisme
La curiosité nous porte à vouloir démêler les moyens qui ont assuré les succès étonnants du christianisme sur les religions établies alors dans l'univers : il est facile de la satisfaire par une réponse naturelle et décisive. Sans doute cette victoire est due à l'évidence convaincante de la doctrine elle-même et à la providence invariable de son grand auteur. Mais ne sait-on pas que la raison et la vérité trouvent rarement un accueil aussi favora…

Tribal and Civic Codes of Behaviour in Lysias I
A reiteration of the main details of the case may be helpful. Euphiletus killed Eratosthenes and was prosecuted for premeditated homicide by Eratosthenes' relatives. The present speech, our sole source of information concerning the case, was written for the defendant, partially or totally, by a professional speechwriter, presumably Lysias. In this speech Euphiletus admits killing Eratosthenes. He pleads, however, that, since he killed Eratosthene…
Patterns of Name Diffusion Within the Greek World and Beyond
Thucydides the Historian identifies himself as the son of a certain Oloros (4.104.4) and, since Thucydides was by birth an Athenian (1.1.1), and Oloros is a Thracian name, the question arises how he acquired this Thracian patronymic. According to the view which has gained almost general acceptance, Thucydides of the deme Halimous in Attica owed his Thracian patronymic to a connexion by marriage. The hypothetical reconstruction of the family tree …
Treaties and alliances in the world of Thucydides
An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country. [Sir Henry Wotton (Seventeenth century).] A seemingly straightforward passage in Thucydides' history offers a good point of departure for the elucidation of an ambiguity which bedevils ancient texts but has received little attention in modern research: After the disaster in the Sicel country (413 BC) the Syracusans gave up the idea of an immediate attack on the Athenia…
Ritualized Friendship and the Greek City
Nikias, Epimenides and the Question of Omissions in Thucydides
Our starting point is a somewhat obscure incident which has lately attracted some attention. The year is 429 B.C., and the place is Athens in the third year of the Peloponnesian war. The plague, which had broken out only a year before, was still claiming its victims. Yet military operations were in full swing, and the general Phormio operating in the Corinthian gulf against a Peloponnesian fleet was able to score an impressive victory. The Laceda…
