Persian Wars
The Persian Wars were a series of conflicts between the Achaemenid Empire and the Aegean Greeks, mainly consisting of expeditions from Asia against Greece during the first decades of the fifth century bce . The traditional articulation distinguishes between a first war, waged in response to the Ionian Revolt, and a second, much larger invasion. Both conflicts were won by those Greek communities which had refused to submit to the Great Kings. Desp…

Aristides “the Just” (Aristeides)
Aristides was one of the leading Athenian politicians between the Persian wars and the early years of the naval alliance. He is mostly known from the tradition as “the Just” due to his reputation for honesty and integrity, but this – disputed – fame seems to have been developed and settled long after his lifetime. Therefore, Aristides remains an archetypical and yet obscure symbol of Athenian imperialism.
Emotions through Time
This volume is the first to explore ancient and Byzantine Greek emotions from a comparative and synoptic perspective. A distinguished international cast of 17 authors deploys the methodologies of Classics, Byzantine Studies, and emotion history to uncover the complex interactions between ancient and Byzantine emotionology. Its wide-ranging chapters shed new light on the Byzantine emotional universe and its impact on medieval and early modern cult…
Athens, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic
The most famous polis in ancient Greece, Athens developed complex social, administrative, and political structures starting from the Archaic period; it rose to prominence during the fifth century, but was eventually defeated by Sparta. Despite frequent conflicts and financial troubles, during the fourth century the Athenian democracy reached its most developed form. Frequently caught in the struggles between Alexander's successors, Athens was not…
Xenophon's Hybris
Through a detailed analysis of Xenophon's defence against a charge for hybris among the Ten Thousand, this paper discusses violence, reputation and hierarchy in Greek military and social contexts. Contrary to other recent treatments of the episode, the study highlights the centrality of honour/shame dynamics and of desert in establishing and upholding social order, showing that these notions are found consistently in numerous examples as early as…
Aristide il giusto e l’ arche ateniese
This article proposes a new interpretation of the figure of Aristides, the Athenian politician known as ‘the Just’. The study shows how Aristides’ fame was far from undisputed in the fifth century. From the fourth century onwards, we find more evidence of his iconic attachment to justice: his reputation, however, is always context-dependent and inevitably associated with the domination of Athens over the Greeks. It is only in distant sources that…
The Fate of the Lawgiver
a revised analysis of the tradition about the ‘reforms of Ephialtes’ in Athens (ca. 461 b. c.), focusing on the many inconsistencies regarding their contents, author, and context. The paper argues that the reforms as we know them were invented, essentially, by a fourth-century tradition that belongs to the history of ideas and to the biased debate about the democracy, rather than to constitutional history. While the reforms cannot be regarded as …
The Return of Theseus to Athens
The Athenian recovery of Theseus' bones from Scyros is known through a number of literary accounts spanning several centuries. The tradition dates the recovery to the early fifth century and connects it to the Athenian statesman Cimon. Modern reconstructions tend to rely on the combination of different (and possibly conflicting) sources. An analysis of the evidence, however, shows that the story was built up over several centuries, as the various…
