Book excerpt: The Long Walls joining Athens with its harbors are universally recognized as symbols of naval imperialism and the lynchpin of a radical departure from traditional Greek military strategy during the later fifth century B.C. Nevertheless, many important questions about the structures remain disputed or simply neglected. As the first comprehensive history of the Long Walls, the present study dates each construction phase, examines the function of the structures from beginning to end, and chronicles their fluctuating viability. The analysis is driven by the proposition that the Athenians would not have relied on the walls to the sea when their navy did not control the sea lanes effectively. This full consideration of the Long Walls' development and strategic prominence over time will enable accurate assessment of their position in Greek military and political history from classical through early Hellenistic times.

Download or read book The Site of Ancient Phalerum (Classic Reprint) written by Mitchell Carroll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Site of Ancient Phalerum Among the many disputed points in the topography of Athens, non'e involves problems of more serious moment than the site of ancient Phalerum and its determination would lead to the solution of other important questions which now engage the attention of topographers. Phalerum was the old seaport town of Athens before the ascendency of Themistocles and the rise of the Athenian Empire. Its history prior to the building of the Piraeus, with its magnificent harbors, was interesting and im portant but, eclipsed by the glory of Greater Piraeus, it soon became of second-rate importance, famous only for the Long Wall reaching from Athens into its territory, for its ancient shrines, its pottery, and its anchovies. We wish to review its history, to determine its site, and to call attention to the fea tures of Athenian topography which become in consequence satisfactorily settled.

Book excerpt: "In this next offering for the Witness to Ancient History series, Robert Garland writes about the Persian invasion of Greece in the 5th century BC. After introducing the reader to the contextual background of the Greco-Persian Wars, including the famous Battle of Marathon, Garland describes the various stages of the invasion from both the Persian and Greek point of view. He focuses on the Greek evacuation of Attica (the peninsular region of Greece that includes Athens), the siege of the Acropolis, the eventual defeat of the Persians by Athenian and Spartan armies, and the return of the Greek people to their land. Coming off his 2014 PUP book on the experience of diaspora in ancient Greece, Garland is well placed to speak authoritatively on this important time in ancient history when the Greeks had to flee their homeland. Garland is an experienced and productive writer whose experience producing video lecture courses for The Great Courses company makes him an ideal author for this introductory volume"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Polytheism and Society at Athens written by Robert Parker and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-11-24 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first attempt that has ever been made to give a comprehensive account of the religious life of ancient Athens. The city's many festivals are discussed in detail, with attention to recent anthropological theory; so too, for instance, are the cults of households and of smaller groups, the role of religious practice and argumentation in public life, the authority of priests, the activities of religious professionals such as seers and priestesses, magic, the place of theatrical representations of the gods within public attitudes to the divine. A long final section considers the sphere of activity of the various gods, and takes Athens as a uniquely detailed test case for the structuralist approach to polytheism. The work is a synchronic, thematically organized complement (though designed to be read independently) to the same author's Athenian Religion: A History (Oxford 1996).
