Excerpt: ...concurred to increase this rooted enmity, and to kindle the flames of war. Nor were there wanting which cooled the attachment of even this city towards the Greeks in time of war. Hostilities afterwards taking place, they engaged a.t Tanagra, and fought with the Lacedwmonians for the liberty of the Boeotians; but, the battle being a drawn one, it was decided by a subsequent a6tion. For they quitted the field, and went away;" deserting the Boeotians, whom they were aiding; but our troops, having, on the third day, gained a vietory at Oenophyta, in both States, as is usual, ill designing citizens, who were at all times ready to promote the cause of the opposite party. " Tanagra was in Bteotia. The battle, here spoken of, was fought between the Athenians and their allies, and the Lacedaemonians. Neither party could at first claim the victory; but in consequence of the defe6tion of the Thessalian horse, in the battle that took place on the subsequent day, the Athenians were defeated with great slaughter. The battle of CEnophyta, or the Vineyards, was fought, however, sixty-two days, or more, after that of Tanagra, between the Athenians, and the Boeotians who K very properly brought back those, who, from injurious treatment, had made their escape. These were the men who, in now rendering assistance to Greeks against the Greeks in the cause of freedom, having displayed their valour, and having established the liberty of those, whose efforts they were seconding, have, in honour of their services, and the first after the Persian war, been deposited by the city in this monument. After these events, when a great war had broken out, Y and all the Greeks had com were in the Lacedaamonian interest. The latter were completely defeated....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Menexenus, in spite of the dearth of scholarly attention it has traditionally received compared to other Platonic texts, is an important dialogue for any consideration of Plato’s views on political philosophy, history, and rhetoric – to say nothing of the dialogue’s contribution to the study of civic ideology and institutions, natural law theory, and Plato’s notion of race. Speeches for the Dead unites the contributions of scholars working on diverse aspects of the dialogue, growing out of a one-day workshop on the same subject at the University of Pennsylvania organized by the editors. In offering a variety of perspectives on the Menexenus, the volume is the very first of its kind in any language. In addition, the volume contains an up-to-date bibliography of scholarship in English, French, German, and Italian. This makes the book a definitive guide and ideal starting point for advanced students and scholars looking for further information about the dialogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Invention of Athens, her first book, Nicole Loraux launched her exploration of Greek - and more particularly Athenian - self-representations: in this case, through the funeral oration. Coordinating past, present, and future generations, the funeral oration emerges in Loraux's account as the state institution and genre through which official memory is performed, cultivated, and transmitted. In her anatomy of the institution and genre of the epitaphics, Loraux illuminates the politics, myths, and gendered discourses and institutions of Antiquity. Loraux shows us again and again how the field of representation, particularly as it emerges in a democratic terrain, is the field of contest. Loraux's work was always concerned with the politics of memory - What shall be remembered? And how? And by whom? And for whom? - the way in which the city represents itself, how it constitutes itself, how it remembers and members itself are among Loraux's central preoccupations, and she makes them ours."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Politics and Philosophy in Plato's Menexenus written by Nickolas Pappas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Menexenus is one of the least studied among Plato's works, mostly because of the puzzling nature of the text, which has led many scholars either to reject the dialogue as spurious or to consider it as a mocking parody of Athenian funeral rhetoric. In this book, Pappas and Zelcer provide a persuasive alternative reading of the text, one that contributes in many ways to our understanding of Plato, and specifically to our understanding of his political thought. The book is organized into two parts. In the first part the authors offer a synopsis of the dialogue, address the setting and its background in terms of the Athenian funeral speech, and discuss the alternative readings of the dialogue, showing their weaknesses and strengths. In the second part, the authors offer their positive interpretation of the dialogue, taking particular care to explain and ground their interpretive criteria and method, which considers Plato's text not simply as a de-contextualized collection of philosophical arguments but offers a theoretically reading of the text that situates it firmly within its historical context. The book will become a reference point in the debate about the Menexenus and Plato's political philosophy more generally and marks an important contribution to our understanding of ancient thought and classical Athenian society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Menexenus has more the character of a rhetorical exercise than any other of the Platonic works. The writer seems to have wished to emulate Thucydides, and the far slighter work of Lysias. In his rivalry with the latter, to whom in the Phaedrus Plato shows a strong antipathy, he is entirely successful, but he is not equal to Thucydides. The Menexenus, though not without real Hellenic interest, falls very far short of the rugged grandeur and political insight of the great historian. The fiction of the speech having been invented by Aspasia is well sustained, and is in the manner of Plato, notwithstanding the anachronism which puts into her mouth an allusion to the peace of Antalcidas, an event occurring forty years after the date of the supposed oration. But Plato, like Shakespeare, is careless of such anachronisms, which are not supposed to strike the mind of the reader. The effect produced by these grandiloquent orations on Socrates, who does not recover after having heard one of them for three days and more, is truly Platonic.Such discourses, if we may form a judgment from the three which are extant (for the so-called Funeral Oration of Demosthenes is a bad and spurious imitation of Thucydides and Lysias), conformed to a regular type. They began with Gods and ancestors, and the legendary history of Athens, to which succeeded an almost equally fictitious account of later times. The Persian war usually formed the centre of the narrative; in the age of Isocrates and Demosthenes the Athenians were still living on the glories of Marathon and Salamis. The Menexenus veils in panegyric the weak places of Athenian history. The war of Athens and Boeotia is a war of liberation; the Athenians gave back the Spartans taken at Sphacteria out of kindness—indeed, the only fault of the city was too great kindness to their enemies, who were more honoured than the friends of others (compare Thucyd., which seems to contain the germ of the idea); we democrats are the aristocracy of virtue, and the like. These are the platitudes and falsehoods in which history is disguised. The taking of Athens is hardly mentioned.
