  • Gods and Priests

    Chester G StarrCHAPTERThe aristocratic temper of Greek…1992

    This chapter holds that the upper classes essentially established the way the Greeks visualized their gods and also the structure of worship. The nature of the heavenly pantheon, as Xenophanes angrily observed, had been firmly set by Homer and Hesiod. By the eighth century, the aristocrats were erecting temples to house statues that eventually attained canonical form so that a modern student of Greek art can easily identify Athena with her helmet…

  • Political Power

    Chester G StarrCHAPTERThe aristocratic temper of Greek…1992

    This chapter shows that aristocrats were politically essential, but they were also harnessed within the polis. The Greek upper classes might dress and otherwise live more elegantly than common folk, but they had neither inherited titles nor positions guaranteed to them by rank. As Aristotle observed repeatedly in his great work, the Politics, the objective of the polis was to secure justice for its citizens, and consequently equality was a basic …

  • The Afterlife of Greek Aristocracy

    Chester G StarrCHAPTERThe aristocratic temper of Greek…1992

    After Alexander's conquest of the Persian empire in 334–323 B.C., Greek civilization broadened out to encompass all the eastern Mediterranean. This new era has been given in modern times the term “Hellenistic,” Greek-like but not exactly the same as classical Hellenism. Now poets, artists, even philosophers were subsidized, not by aristocrats, but by the kings of Egypt, Syria, and other states and often obsequiously celebrated the virtues of thei…

  • Social Position

    Chester G StarrCHAPTERThe aristocratic temper of Greek…1992

    The social role of the aristocratic class, as a pinnacle over commoners, resident aliens, and slaves, was consolidated in the formative era of Greek civilization. True aristocrats were very limited in numbers in a world that could support only a very restricted upper class. But aristocrats knew who they were—they were the men and women who had ancestors. The place of aristocrats was not only well defined in practice; it was also unchallenged. Eve…

  • The Emergence of Aristocrats

    Chester G StarrCHAPTERThe aristocratic temper of Greek…1992

    This chapter traces the emergence of the aristocrats, from Homeric peoms, to the Hellenic civilization, up to the development of the polis. The initial political change was the elimination of the Zeus-sprung basileis. Among the officials and councils of these states, aristocrats were initially dominant even if their free fellow citizens had latent rights and duties under the rule of law. The term “aristocracy” always had as much a moral as a poli…

  • The Aristocratic Temper of Greek Civilization

    Chester G StarrBOOKThe aristocratic temper of Greek…1992Citada por: 2

    This is both a defence of the importance of aristocrats in Greek society and a reassessment of their social, cultural and political roles. Professor Starr provides a concise portrait of the aristocratic way of life, the roots and nature of aristocrats' economic power, their patronage of the arts, and the influence they had on the way the Greeks visualized their gods. A concluding chapter examines the lasting influence of the aristocratic ideal in…

    Thomas H Watkins, Chester G StarrARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1990

    This book is a survey of the various attempts to control the Mediterranean from the Bronze Age to the fall of the Roman Empire. Starr demonstrates that control of the seas was not always a strategic necessity in the ancient world. His theory is an important corrective to the influential teachings of the strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan

    During the three centuries from 800 to 500 B.C., the Greek world evolved from a primitive society--both culturally and economically--to one whose artistic products dominated all Mediterranean markets, supported by a wide overseas trade. In the following two centuries came the literary, philosophical, and artistic masterpieces of the classic area. Vital to this advance was the development of the polis, a collective institution in which citizens ha…

    Introduction During the three centuries surveyed in this chapter (800–500 B.C.) the economic and social structure of the Greek world underwent massive alterations which set the framework for the Classic age. The general character and the tempo of development can be discerned; causes and interrelationships are often obscure. For present purposes Hesiod ( Works and Days only), Solon, Theognis and Herodotus provide the most valuable literary testimo…
