"In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es darum, eine grundlegende Theorie moderner Forschung über das Verhältnis von Mythos und Geschichte am konkreten Beispiel der Schlacht von Salamis zu erproben. Die historische Seeschlacht von Salamis gewann bereits in der Antike mythische Relevanz und in der Folge entwickelte sich daraus ein europäischer Mythos. Das Anliegen dieses Buches ist, die Mannigfaltigkeit des Salamis-Mythos aufzeigen und die in der Forschung übliche Bilanz einer im Salamis-Mythos herrschenden Orient-Okzident-Antithese um weitere Aspekte ergänzen, die bisweilen sogar wichtiger erscheinen. Es gilt somit der Frage nachzugehen, inwiefern und aus welchen Gründen die Schlacht in der klassisch-humanistischen Bildungstradition in Bezug auf die Anfänge der klassischen Kultur und im Verhältnis zu bestimmten historischen Situationen (nach grossen historischen Seesiegen oder verschiedenen Freiheitskriegen der europäischen Geschichte) eine mythische Relevanz hat. Seit dem ausgehenden 20. Jahrhundert hat die Erinnerungsgeschichte in der Altertumswissenschaft grössere Bedeutung gewonnen und deswegen werden herkömmliche Forschungsthemen in einem neuen Licht betrachtet. Die vorliegende erinnerungsgeschichtliche Untersuchung zur nachantiken und antiken Rezeption des Salamis-Mythos schliesst an die neuesten Beiträge über die Erinnerung der Schlacht von Marathon an. Die hier einbezogene rezente Forschungsrichtung konnte nämlich überzeugend die paradigmatische Relevanz der Erkenntnis herausstellen, dass selbst die Rezeption „geschichtsbildende Energie" sei. Das auf einer eigenen Quellensammlung beruhende Buch ist in zeitlich rücklaufender Reihenfolge aufgebaut. So wird deutlicher, dass Geschichte im Sinne von Thomas Mann als das Geschichtete verstanden werden kann und die Tiefe der Überlieferung ist somit leichter wahrzunehmen"--Page 4 of cover.

A vivid, novelistic history of the rise of Athens from relative obscurity to the edge of its golden age, told through the lives of Miltiades and Cimon, the father and son whose defiance of Persia vaulted Athens to a leading place in the Greek world. When we think of ancient Greece we think first of Athens: its power, prestige, and revolutionary impact on art, philosophy, and politics. But on the verge of the fifth century BCE, only fifty years before its zenith, Athens was just another Greek city-state in the shadow of Sparta. It would take a catastrophe, the Persian invasions, to push Athens to the fore. In Phoenix, David Stuttard traces Athens’s rise through the lives of two men who spearheaded resistance to Persia: Miltiades, hero of the Battle of Marathon, and his son Cimon, Athens’s dominant leader before Pericles. Miltiades’s career was checkered. An Athenian provincial overlord forced into Persian vassalage, he joined a rebellion against the Persians then fled Great King Darius’s retaliation. Miltiades would later die in prison. But before that, he led Athens to victory over the invading Persians at Marathon. Cimon entered history when the Persians returned; he responded by encouraging a tactical evacuation of Athens as a prelude to decisive victory at sea. Over the next decades, while Greek city-states squabbled, Athens revitalized under Cimon’s inspired leadership. The city vaulted to the head of a powerful empire and the threshold of a golden age. Cimon proved not only an able strategist and administrator but also a peacemaker, whose policies stabilized Athens’s relationship with Sparta. The period preceding Athens’s golden age is rarely described in detail. Stuttard tells the tale with narrative power and historical acumen, recreating vividly the turbulent world of the Eastern Mediterranean in one of its most decisive periods.

This volume deals with Xerxes’ invasion of Greece (480 B.C.), particularly as a naval operation. It examines the traditions preserved by Aischylos, Herodotos, and others against the background of the revolutionary naval developments in the period preceding Xerxes’ decision to attack. Among the subjects discussed are: the naval pressure on Persian foreign policy; the strength in numbers of the Persian navy in 480; its deployment in the waters of Salamis related to the physical features of the battlefield and the position of the Greeks; Themistokles’ legendary message as a key to the Persian plan of attack; the quality of the opposing ships and their tactical capabilities; the battle of Salamis itself and its outcome. The book includes maps and a photograph of the area discussed.
