Abstract

This is the second of eight volumes on the history of Greece, first published in 1836. The volumes were aimed at two audiences: those people who wanted more than a superficial knowledge of the subject, but did not have the time or means to study the original sources, and those who had access to the ancient authors, but required a guide or interpreter. The second volume considers the history of Attica to the expulsion of the Pisistratids, the Greek colonies, the progress of art and literature, the affairs of the Asiatic Greeks to 512 BCE, and events from the accession of Darius to the battles of Marathon and Salamis. The final chapter takes the history to the end of the Persian invasion. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of ancient history.

Abstract

Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative Victorian study of ancient Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846, established the view of Greek history which still prevails in textbooks and popular accounts of the ancient world today. Grote employs direct and clear language to take the reader from the earliest times of legendary Greece to the death of Alexander and his generation, drawing upon epic poetry and legend, and examining the growth and decline of the Athenian democracy. The work explains Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and interwoven throughout are the important but outlying adventures of the Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 3 reviews the world which the Greeks knew, and to which they sent colonies, and discusses their neighbours around the Mediterranean and Black Sea, from the Egyptians to the Scythians, and from Persia to what is now France.

Abstract

Jean Bérard (1908-1957), fils de l’helléniste Victor Bérard et ancien membre de l’Ecole française de Rome (1933-1936 et 1939-1940), a refondé l’étude de la colonisation grecque en Italie méridionale et en Sicile, sujet de sa thèse de doctorat d’Etat (1941). Il a été le premier à présenter de manière rationnelle et critique l’étude des sources littéraires antiques sur ce phénomène majeur de l’histoire de la Méditerranée. Il a su aussi - dans la seconde édition de son livre en 1957 (année de sa mort accidentelle et prématurée) - saisir les perspectives nouvelles ouvertes par la recherche archéologique. De nombreux chercheurs, surtout italiens et français, engagés dans la recherche sur ce thème relisent ici une œuvre scientifique qui a été fondatrice d’un courant historiographique. Sa vie et ses engagements personnels sont également retracés ici, pour la première fois, grâce aux archives mises à disposition par la famille. Apparaît ainsi en pleine lumière le parcours singulier et attachant d’un jeune français cultivé découvrant l’Italie soumise au fascisme, se liant à des intellectuels italiens antifascistes de premier plan comme Umberto Zanotti Bianco, et donnant un regard à la fois spontané et médité mais aussi prophétique sur l’histoire contemporaine de l’Italie dans une Histoire du fascisme italien (1938) publiée sous un pseudonyme et mise au pilon dans la France occupée, à la demande de Mussolini. Il y a donc une double légitimité à voir le nom de Jean Bérard porté depuis 1966 par un Centre de recherche du CNRS et de l’École française de Rome : le Centre Jean-Bérard de Naples.

Abstract

The polytheistic religious systems of ancient Greece and Rome reveal an imaginative attitude towards the construction of the divine. One of the most important instruments in this process was certainly the visualisation. Images of the gods transformed the divine world into a visually experienceable entity, comprehensible even without a theoretical or theological superstructure. For the illiterates, images were together with oral traditions and rituals the only possibility to approach the idea of the divine; for the intellectuals, images of the gods could be allegorically transcended symbols to reflect upon. Based on the art historical and textual evidence, this volume offers a fresh view on the historical, literary, and artistic significance of divine images as powerful visual media of religious and intellectual communication.
