Crisis in Early Religion
Power and Opposition in the Ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean World – Introduction
Monarchy in the Iron Age Levant and Archaic Greece
Tyrannies emerging in the Greek poleis during the Archaic period (8.–6. centuries BC), among which the rule of the Kypselid dynasty in Corinth appears as an outstanding example, were in many respects comparable to the city-state monarchies in Ancient Near East, particularly in Iron Age Levant. The rulers performed important governmental functions and were able to legitimate their power for a notable period of time. However, differently from the E…
Justification of the Usurpation of Power by Hittite Kings
The article explores the ways how Hittite kings justified their usurpations of power, such usurpations happening almost constantly during the whole period of the Hittite kingdom, from the Old Hittite period until the fall of the empire. It focuses on three outstanding texts illuminating prominent cases in the Hittite history: the Proclamation of Telepinu which gives important information about several usurpations during the late 17th and 16th cen…
Greek rulers and imperial powers in Western Anatolia (8th–6th centuries BC1)
The article explores the cultural and political interaction between the Anatolian kingdoms and the elites of the Greek poleis on the Anatolian coast, with special attention to Archaic Ephesos for which relatively good evidence for the relations with Lydia is available. It demonstrates how the neighbouring hegemonic monarchies provided imitable examples for the Greek elite leaders and offered real opportunities for claiming, legitimating and entre…
Why Did the Greeks hate the Tyrants? A Comparative View on Monarchy in Archaic Greece
Archaic tyrannies, emerging during the period of polis formation, are in many respects comparable to city-state monarchies in the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East. There is every reason to consider tyranny as a vehicle for state formation in Archaic Greece. However, Greek poleis eventually did not accept monarchy as a legitimate form of government. The article discusses the reason precluding the entrenchment of sole rule in Archaic Greek p…
Basileus, tyrannos and polis. The Dynamics of Monarchy in Early Greece
The article scrutinizes the development of the forms of leadership in the Early Iron Age and Archaic Greece, questioning the traditional view that personal leadership as described in the Homeric epics (the ‚Homeric basileia ‘) was the rule during the Early Iron Age, but was replaced in the Archaic period by collective aristocracies, and by tyrannies as a principally new kind of monarchy. The article questions the strict distinction between the ‚c…
