Marmor Parium
The Marmor Parium, or Parian Marble, is a fragmentary inscription that preserves a chronicle of events in Greek myth and history from the sixteenth to the third century bce . Its contents include items of a political, military, and cultural nature, each of which is dated by the name of an Athenian king or archon and by the number of years between those events and the year 264/3, the chronicle's endpoint. The author of the chronicle is unknown, an…
Pentekontaetia
The term Pentekontaetia refers to the roughly fifty‐year period between the end of the Persian Wars in 479 bce and the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War in 431, and to the section of Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War (1.89–118) that describes those years. Thucydides’ narrative does not provide a comprehensive history of the period but aims to provide an account of the growth of Athenian power leading up to the Peloponnesian War. Hence,…

New Ostraka from the Athenian Agora
This article publishes a deposit of ostraka uncovered during excavations in the Athenian Agora in the late 1990s. It includes more than 150 incised sherds, making it the third largest group of ostraka discovered in the history of the site. Five candidates are represented, and the presence of a large number of ballots for Xanthippos, who was ostracized in 484 B.C., fixes their date in the mid-480s, and perhaps in 484 itself. The new finds also she…
Pentekontaetia
The term “Pentekontaetia” refers both to the approximately fifty‐year period between the end of the Persian wars in 479 bce .
Administration, Greece
The collapse of Mycenaean civilization in the twelfth century bce was accompanied by the disappearance of the centralized bureaucracies that had characterized its palace‐based kingdoms.
Marmor Parium
The Marmor Parium , also known as the Parian Chronicle or Marble, is a marble inscription preserving a chronicle of events in Greek myth and history from the sixteenth to the third century BCE .
Kyrbeis
Ancient sources mention two sets of objects, Axones and kyrbeis , in connection with the laws of Draco and Solon. Their form, contents, and relationship to one another have been the subject of debate since antiquity.
Perikles
Perikles, son of Xanthippos of the Attic deme Cholargos, was the preeminent statesman and politician of Athens in the fifth century bce . The chief sources for his life are Thucydides' account of the outbreak of the Peloponnesian war, occasional references to him in the plays of Aristophanes, and a biography by Plutarch, written five hundred years after his death.
Literacy, Greece
Literacy, understood in its most simple terms as the ability to read and write, reached new levels in Greek civilization. The Mycenaean Greeks had kept some palace records in the Linear B script, but no evidence suggests that they used writing to record or preserve literary compositions, diplomatic correspondence, business documents, or other types of texts, and Mycenaean literacy was probably limited to a small class of scribes and palace offici…

The Bureaucracy of Democracy and Empire
Sometime in the second half of the fifth century the Athenians ratified a decree, proposed by a citizen named Kleinias, setting out stricter regulations for the collection and delivery of tribute to Athens ( IG i3 34). Although the decree cannot be dated precisely (suggested dates range from ca. 448 to ca. 424), its provisions provide important insights into Athenian imperial administration. They also testify to the official, administrative role …
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles
Mid-fifth-century Athens saw the development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open…
Literacy, Orality, and Legislative Procedure in Classical Athens
This volume deals with aspects of orality and oral traditions in ancient Greece, specifically literature, rhetoric and society, and philosophy, and is a selection of refereed papers from the fourth biennial Orality and Literacy in Ancient Greece conference, held at the University of Missouri Columbia in 2000
Literacy, Documents, and Archives in the Ancient Athenian Democracy
This article examines some trends in studies of ancient literacy, especially as they relate to the archives and inscriptions of classical Athens. While granting the symbolic significance of many ancient documents, it argues that recent studies of ancient literacy have been overly pessimistic in their assessment of the practical uses of written texts. A focus on the documents that lay behind Athenian inscriptions on stone shows that writing was us…

Policing Athens
From household gossip to public beatings, this social history explores the many channels through which Athenians maintained public order. Virginia Hunter draws mostly on Attic court proceedings, which allowed for a wide range of evidence, including common rumors about a defendant's character and testimony, obtained under torture, of slaves against their masters. She describes Athenian as a form of social control that took place across a range of …
