Abstract

Slavery is attested throughout ancient Greek history and all over the Greek world. Unsurprisingly, then, scholarship on Greek slavery has proliferated in the past twenty-five or so years, making a holistic synthesis of such work especially desirable. This book offers a state-of-the-art guide to research on this subject, surveying recent scholarly trends and controversies and suggesting future directions for research. Topics include regional variation in slave systems; the economics of slavery; the treatment of enslaved people; sex and gender; agency, resistance, and revolt; manumission; and representations, metaphors, and legacies of Greek slavery. Readers, including those interested in slavery of other time periods, will find this book an essential resource in learning about key issues in Greek slavery studies or in pursuing their own research.

Abstract

"The study of bronzes and other metals from the Athenian Acropolis traditionally has been overshadowed by the emphasis given to the famous monuments of architecture and sculpture, in part due to the incomplete publication of the metal small finds from the site following the major excavation campaigns in the 19th century. Without attempting to be a comprehensive synthesis on this topic, this volume positions itself against this tradition by resuscitating discussion on the Acropolis bronzes. The introduction reflects on the history of the relevant scholarship vis-à-vis the life of the Acropolis bronzes in various museums and collections in Greece and elsewhere. The six essays provide overviews, reinterpretations, and critical discussions as well as new methodological approaches to various aspects of the existing corpus. Diane Harris-Cline employs Actor-Network theory to showcase the intricate web of social relationships behind each gesture that resulted in the deposition of bronzes on the Acropolis. Andronike Makres and Adele Scafuro reflect on methodological quandaries and detail their efforts to produce a new critical edition of the corpus of inscriptions on dedicatory and other bronzes that takes into account the materiality of this epigraphic record. Amy Sowder Koch reviews the corpus of hydriai from the Acropolis, taking into account newly published examples, and situates them within the larger context of bronze hydriai, seeking to understand Athens' role in bronze hydria production. Germano Sarcone revisits technical and social aspects of the impressively monumental and technically complex tripod-cauldrons from the Acropolis from the eighth century BCE onwards. Nassos Papalexandrou discusses the corpus of griffin cauldrons arguing that their original lavishness added to the prestige of the sanctuary during a formative period of Athenian society. Elena Karakitsou publishes a fascinating inscribed phiale retrieved from the southwestern entablature of the Parthenon along with the remains of a rare ritual deposit"--

Abstract

The edicts on the antiquities and artworks issued in the Papal States and Greece in the early 19th century were the first comprehensive legislation for the protection of heritage in Europe. In this volume, such laws are analysed from a cultural, juridical and art-historical perspective in order to understand how both legal and artistic scholarship affected the guardianship of artefacts, fluctuations in the art market and the establishment of innovative systems for heritage administration in Rome and Athens. The analysis of the origins of these laws, discussed in comparison to earlier edicts (5th-18th century), and of their cultural consequences also sheds light on the development of new definitions of "art", "artwork" or "monument" which are fundamental to contemporary approaches to heritage protection in Europe.

Abstract

"De Akropolis van Athene is een iconische rots die oprijst in de hoofdstad van Griekenland. Hij geldt als het belangrijkste toeristische doel voor bezoekers aan Athene. De Akropolis wordt gedomineerd door klassieke tempels - voor velen het hoogtepunt van Griekenland of zelfs de hele 'westerse' beschaving. 00Maar achter deze spectaculaire façade gaat een onbekende rijkdom aan geschiedenis en verhalen schuil. In de Middeleeuwen werd in de grootste tempel een christelijke kathedraal gevestigd. Daarna werd dezelfde ruimte gebruikt als moskee, te midden van een levendig Turks garnizoensdorp. En in de negentiende eeuw werd de Akropolis een symbool van de wederopstanding van het klassieke Griekenland. In dit boek belichten Eric Moormann en Janric van Rookhuijzen de geschiedenis van de Akropolis van de Bronstijd tot de eenentwintigste eeuw. Naast klassieke Atheners laten zij ook onbekende figuren uit andere tijden uit de schaduw treden. Dit is hoog tijd, want als geen ander monument laat de Akropolis, met zijn zware symbolische en politieke bagage, zien hoe 'het Westen' met zijn eigen verleden is omgesprongen."--

Abstract

Démosthène s’est rendu célèbre par le combat acharné qu’il a mené contre Philippe II de Macédoine et son fils Alexandre en mettant son talent d’orateur hors pair au service d’Athènes et des autres cités grecques afin de défendre leur liberté menacée par les ambitions macédoniennes. L’un des traits les plus marquants de ce combat concerne la rivalité qui oppose pendant plus de quinze ans Démosthène à Eschine et qui tire son origine de l’affaire dite de « l’ambassade infidèle ». Le plaidoyer Sur les forfaitures de l’ambassade, qui date de 343 avant notre ère, est l’une des compositions les plus connues de Démosthène et suscitait dans l’antiquité la plus grande admiration. Malheureusement, l’orateur ayant échoué à faire condamner Eschine, qu’il accuse de s’être vendu à Philippe, ce discours n’a pas intéressé les savants autant que le fameux plaidoyer Sur la couronne prononcé treize ans plus tard, véritable triomphe symbolique pour Démosthène et sa politique alors même que les rois de Macédoine l’ont déjà emporté définitivement sur le terrain. Il était donc temps de consacrer à ce chef-d’œuvre de l’art oratoire grec une nouvelle édition critique. Le texte grec a fait l’objet d’une révision systématique à partir des meilleurs manuscrits et s’accompagne d’un apparat critique synthétique et d’une traduction inédite, aussi précise qu’élégante, tandis que l’introduction et le commentaire rendent compte du contexte historique, de la composition complexe de l’œuvre, du style inimitable de Démosthène et de tous les faits de langue utiles à la compréhension détaillée du discours. La nouvelle édition bilingue commentée ainsi produite s’adresse à un large public et répond non seulement aux besoins des spécialistes, qui trouveront dans le volume toutes les ressources savantes et techniques dont ils peuvent avoir besoin, mais aussi de quiconque s’intéresse à la rhétorique grecque classique et au combat légendaire de Démosthène contre les conquêtes macédoniennes
