Epilogue
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on the diversity and particularity of the experience and representation of violence in the period, and the importance of treating the widest range of source material in constructing histories of violence. It suggests that a key cultural phenomenon of violence in the period is the collapse of the categories of publi…
Cultural Perceptions of Violence in the Hellenistic World
Violence had long been central to the experience of Hellenistic Greek cities and to their civic discourses. This volume asks how these discourses were shaped and how they functioned within the particular cultural constructs of the Hellenistic world. It was a period in which warfare became more professionalised, and wars increasingly ubiquitous. The period also saw major changes in political structures that led to political and cultural experiment…
Chapter Six. Athens And Cassander
For much of the period of Demetrius of Phalerum's rule, Cassander's position was extremely tenuous, and Demetrius' own hold on power would often have been under threat before his actual expulsion in 307. Charting Athens' passage through this decade of strife is one theme of this chapter. The relationship between Cassander and Athens was defined among the peace terms of 317: Cassander stipulated that the Athenians be friends and allies. Just what …
Chapter One. The Background To The Regime
Of Demetrius of Phalerum himself, his family background and date of birth, frustratingly few details are known, despite the fact that Diogenes Laertius devotes a Life to him. The decades of Demetrius' youth were both, as we have seen, a time of foreign subjugation and a time of marked renaissance in Athenian affairs. Demetrius enters the historical picture at one of the great flashpoints of Athenian history, when relations between Athens and Alex…
Chapter Five. Philosophy And The Phalerean Regime
A pervasive influence of his philosophical education on Demetrius of Phalerum's legislative programme has, until Gehrke's thorough critique of the issue, been widely assumed in the scholarly literature. That education is well documented. The Suda entry describes him as a Peripatetic philosopher first and foremost, while many sources record the student/ teacher relationship between Demetrius and Theophrastus, and claim that the former was renowned…
Chapter Seven. Conclusion
Chapter Two. Demetrius The Law-Giver
This chapter delineates the extent of Phalerean legislation and assesses its intent. The concern for religious propriety and for decorous behaviour that appears to have been the primary force behind the burial laws may be at the core of other elements of Demetrius of Phalerum's administration. This may be the case with the gunaikonomoi, or censors of women. The most interesting-and controversial-of Demetrius' institutions is that of the board of …
Chapter Three. The Institutions Of Democracy
Demetrius' contemporaries were clear in their assessment of his regime and of his place within it. When Poliorcetes ousted Cassander's partisans from Athens in 307, Demetrius of Phalerum and his associates were formally charged with overthrowing the democracy. No matter what the status of Athens' institutions, there is one sense in which the regime of 317-307 could unquestionably be deemed oligarchic, and that is in terms of the citizen body. Aga…
