Imagining Athens in the Assembly
Assembly-speeches and funeral speeches invite comparison. In both, prominent politicians addressed a large and predominantly non-elite audience, and war played a predominant role. Yet, contrasts between them abounded. The funeral oration emphasised the nobility of Athens and more particularly the selflessness and the patriotism of the war dead, whereas assembly-speeches criticised the decadence of Athenian politics and the short-sighted selfishne…
Arginousai (Arginusae), battle of
Arginousai was an Athenian naval victory in the last phase of the Peloponnesian War. It is best known for its aftermath, the mass trial and execution of the victorious generals.
Hecataeus of Miletus (Hekataios of Miletos)
Hecataeus of Miletos (ca. 560–480 bce ), a prominent intellectual and logographer of the Ionian Enlightenment, made a famous map and wrote two books: the Periegesis , a pioneering work on geography, and the Genealogies , a rationalizing account of the age of heroes. His work survives only in fragments, but it represents an important step in the intellectual history of Greece and a crucial prose antecedent to Herodotus’ History .

Brent D. Shaw. Spartacus and the Slave Wars
The slave rebellions of the late Roman Republic were among the largest in history. The Roman commander Marcus Licinius Crassus required eight Roman legions, perhaps forty thousand trained infantry, to suppress the last of these rebellions, which had lasted two years (73–71 b.c.e) in Italy itself, the heart of the empire. The rebels’ leader, Spartacus, lives on in popular culture and has long been a hero to those who felt that they too were fighti…

Arming Slaves and Helots in Classical Greece
Slaves as Active Subjects
This chapter considers the strategies that ancient Greek and Roman slaves adopted in response to the conditions of their enslavement. Some of these involved collaboration with their masters, since slaves could ease their oppression most easily and predictably through compliance and hard work and masters relied on systems of rewards and punishment to control their slaves. Such collaborative strategies were common, but the interests of slaves and m…

Slavery
Trojan Slaves in Classical Athens
This chapter demonstrates that many slaves at Athens retained a strong sense of their birth cultures outside the Greek world. The evidence for this sense of ethnic identity includes the representation of slaves in comedy, slave participation in foreign cults, and slave epitaphs. One striking phenomenon of their ethnic identity is that some slaves asserted Trojan ancestry as a way of admitting difference without inferiority and of claiming a link …
The Cambridge World History
From 1200 BCE to 900 CE, the world witnessed the rise of powerful new states and empires, as well as networks of cross-cultural exchange and conquest. Considering the formation and expansion of these large-scale entities, this fourth volume of The Cambridge World History outlines key economic, political, social, cultural, and intellectual developments that occurred across the globe in this period. Leading scholars examine critical transformations…

Weaponry, Greece
At different times and places ancient Greek soldiers used a wide variety of weapons: swords, spears, and pikes for hand‐to‐hand combat; javelins, slings, and bows and arrows for fighting at a distance.
Xanthos, Lydiaca
In the fifth century BCE , Xanthos the Lydian wrote a work in Greek, the Lydiaca , which survives only in fragments, some of which may not be authentic.

Slaves in Greek literary culture
INTRODUCTION Slaves are as conspicuous in the culture of the classical Greeks as they were important in their society. The action of the Iliad begins with a quarrel over a captive slave woman. In the Odyssey , Odysseus must re-establish his relationship with his slaves as well as with his wife to complete his homecoming. Philosophers and tragedians explored the relationship of luck and character using enslavement as a paradigm of catastrophe. The…
The Cambridge World History of Slavery
Volume 1 in the new Cambridge World History of Slavery surveys the history of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean world. Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews, its principal concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread prevalence of chattel slavery, which is argued to have been a cultur…
War, Peace, and Alliance in Demosthenes' Athens
Every Athenian alliance, every declaration of war, and every peace treaty was instituted by a decision of the assembly, where citizens voted after listening to speeches that presented varied and often opposing arguments about the best course of action. The fifteen preserved assembly speeches of the mid-fourth century BC thus provide an unparalleled body of evidence for the way that Athenians thought and felt about interstate relations: to underst…
Real-Time Adherence Monitoring for HIV Antiretroviral Therapy
Current adherence assessments typically detect missed doses long after they occur. Real-time, wireless monitoring strategies for antiretroviral therapy may provide novel opportunities to proactively prevent virologic rebound and treatment failure. Wisepill, a wireless pill container that transmits a cellular signal when opened, was pilot tested in ten Ugandan individuals for 6 months. Adherence levels measured by Wisepill, unannounced pill counts…

Slaves, Warfare, and Ideology in the Greek Historians
The Slaves and the Generals of Arginusae
The Slaves and the Generals of Arginusae Peter Hunt In the second half of 406 B.C. the Athenians made two shocking decisions. They freed the slaves who had fought in the battle of Arginusae and gave them citizenship, and they condemned to death their victorious generals. I suggest that these two events were related. Specifically, I would like to argue, first, that the competition for rowers to man the huge navies of this period had extended even …
Military forces
This chapter considers the military capacities and costs of different military forces. These capacities and costs, however, involved considerations rather more complex than, for example, the limited ability of arrows to pierce hoplite armour. The chapter covers the period from the lifting of the Dark Age (c. 750) to the end of the classical period (338). In 338 the Macedonian army of Philip II defeated a coalition of the most powerful Greek city-…

Warfare
Arming Slaves and Helots in Classical Greece
War and Society
Recent research on Greek warfare often explores not the battles and campaigns themselves, but the relationship between warfare and other aspects of ancient life. The topic of ‘war and society’ in ancient Greece is an enormous and complex one. Works on this subject have played an important role in the study of Greek history for more than a generation. This article focuses on two exemplary cases: attempts to explain the development of Greek land fo…
