  • Lykia

    Antony G Keen, Mogens Herman HansenCHAPTERan inventory of archaic and…2004

    If we shift the focus from administration to civilisation, we get a different but very clear picture of the extent of the region. An investigation of the distribution of Lykian inscriptions and tombs and of the attested Lykian mints shows that the Lykian people inhabited the region from Telemessos in the west to Gagai in the east. West of Telemessos, a few Lykian monuments have been found in the Glaukos valley, which was presumably the hinterland…

  • The South Coast Of Asia Minor (Pamphylia, Kilikia)

    Antony G Keen, Tobias Fischer-HansenCHAPTERan inventory of archaic and…2004

    North of Pamphylia was Pisidia. A number of sites in that areas are described as poleis, largely in the context of Alexander’s invasion—e.g. Termessos (Arr. Anab. 1.27.5) and Sagalassos (Arr. Anab. 1.28.2)—but they were not Hellenic, and lie outside the scope of the present work. Selge, however, has been included among the non-polis sites listed in the introduction, even though it is regularly described as Pisidian (Arr. Anab. 1.28.1; Strabo 12.7…

  • The ‘Kings’ of Lycia in the Achaemenid Period

    Antony G KeenCHAPTERAlternatives to Athens2002

    This chapter examines the political structures in Lycia. It shows that the dynamic in Lycia in many ways parallel to that of the ‘non-polis’ communities in Greece. Lycia seems to have been confronting many of the same questions of the relationship between the city and larger regional political bodies. The Lycians certainly arrived at the same solution — the ultimate emergence in the hellenistic period of a representative confederacy — one that pe…

  • Dynastic Lycia

    Antony G KeenBOOKDynastic Lycia1998

    This volume deals with the history of Lycia in the Achaemenid period, the time of its most famous monuments, discussing all the evidence that can be used in the reconstruction. It is the first book-length treatment in English of Lycia that focuses on historical matters. The first four synchronic chapters deal with general aspects of the Lycian political set-up. The remaining nine chapters take the reader through a detailed examination of the hist…

  • The Proper Meaning of XΩMA at Aeschylus, Supplices 870

    Open AccessAntony G KeenARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1996

    The phrase κατ⋯ Σαρπηδ⋯νιον χ⋯μα πολ⋯ψαμμον at Aeschylus, Supplices 869–702 is explained by a scholiast (Σ Aesch. Supp. 869–70 Smith) as κατ⋯ τ⋯ν Σαρπηδον⋯αν ἂκραν referring to a promontory in Cilicia. All modern commentators on this passage seem to have accepted the scholiast, and in the 1940 edition of LSJ ‘promontory, spit of sand’ are given as translations of χ⋯μα in this passage

  • Ancient Greece

    Antony G Keen, Antony Keen et al.ARTICLEClassics Ireland1996Cited by: 1

    This book presents a wide range of documents on Greek social and political history from 800 to 399 BC (the archaic period to the death of Socrates), from all over the Greek world. Evidence for developments within Greece during this period, in areas which include tyranny, the position of women, slavery, colonisation, the city-state, and religion, is taken not only from historical sources, but from inscriptions, graffiti, law codes, epitaphs, decre…

  • The Dynastic Tombs of Xanthos—Who was Buried Where

    Open AccessAntony G KeenARTICLEAnatolian Studies1992Cited by: 1

    Probably the best-known, and certainly the most individual, of the monuments of the Classical period from Lycia (in south-west Anatolia) are the pillar tombs. At least 33 are known, and perhaps as many as 43, ranging in date from the mid-sixth century B.C. to the mid-fourth. It seems likely that these were the tombs of local ruling dynasts, who are known chiefly from the numismatic record, a supposition supported by the small number of pillars in…
