Abstract

Le second volume de cet ouvrage se donne pour but de présenter au lecteur l’ensemble des très nombreux documents sur lesquels s’est basée cette réflexion historique. Il ne prétend point à l’exhaustivité mais cherche à fournir de la façon la plus aisée possible, c’est-à-dire communauté par communauté, toutes les données épigraphiques et numismatiques, très dispersées au départ, que l’auteur a pu rassembler. Une brève présentation au début de chaque corpus permettra de bien saisir le système de classification de ces textes et monnaies. The second volume of this book intends to present to the reader all the very many documents on which this historical reflection was based. It does not claim to be exhaustive but seeks to provide in the easiest way possible, that is, community by community, all the epigraphic and numismatic data, very scattered at the outset, that the author was able to gather. A brief presentation at the beginning of each corpus will help to understand the classification system of these texts and coins.

Abstract

Seers featured prominently in ancient Greek culture, but they rarely appear in archaic and classical colonial discourse. Margaret Foster exposes the ideological motivations behind this discrepancy and reveals how colonial discourse privileged the city's founder and his dependence on Delphi, the colonial oracle par excellence, at the expense of the independent seer. Investigating a sequence of literary texts, Foster explores the tactics the Greeks devised both to leverage and suppress the extraordinary cultural capital of seers. The first cultural history of the seer, The Seer and the City illuminates the contests between religious and political powers in archaic and classical Greece.

Abstract

Le présent volume procède d'un colloque organisé à Oxford à l'été 2006. Rassemblant linguistes, archéologues, épigraphistes, numismates et historiens, il fut l'occasion d'échanger des idées sur une période de transition fondamentale dans l'histoire de la Carie : le ive siècle et les deux siècles qui suivirent la conquête d'Alexandre. Cette période fut en effet d'abord marquée par la présence et la visibilité des satrapes, mais aussi ensuite par une intense activité civique et une conscience politique accrue des communautés cariennes. La symbiose entre les îles du Dodécanèse, en particulier Rhodes et Cos, et le littoral carien constitue un autre thème important. Plusieurs communications se rattachent enfin à une orientation de recherche sur les cultures anatoliennes qui est aujourd'hui en plein essor, celle de l'étude des interactions culturelles entre Grecs et Anatoliens depuis la fin de l'âge du Bronze et le début de l'âge du Fer, dont on perçoit encore les échos aux époques plus récentes. The conference on which the present volume is based took place in Oxford in the summer of 2006. It brought together linguists, archaologists, epigraphists, numismatists and historians and allowed them to exchange ideas about a period of major transition in Karian history: the fourth century and the two centuries after Alexander. This was first a period of great starapal visibility and presence, but then alsol of intense civic engagement and increased political awareness among Karian communities. The symbiotic relationship between the islands of the Dodekanese, in particular Rhodes and Kos, and the coastal regions of Karia forms another major theme. Finally, a number of papers pick up on a major recent trend in the study of Anatolian culture, namely the investigation of cross-cultural Greeak-Anatolian interactions in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages and their echoes in later periods.

Abstract

"First-person poetry is a familiar genre in Latin literature. Building on the Greek poetic tradition of performed poetry, Latin poets such as Propertius, Catullus, Horace, and Ovid positioned their speakers both as participants in the poem's narrative and as narrators standing outside the poem and shaping its discourse. This book offers a model for understanding the ubiquitous use of a first-person voice in Latin poetry, taking on several of the central debates in the field of Latin literary studies-- including the inheritance of the Greek tradition, the shift from oral performance to written collections, and the status of the poetic "I-voice"--through close readings of Catullus, Propertius, Horace, and (in the epilogue) Ovid. Moving beyond debates about how closely the textual speaker replicates the historical author, McCarthy analyzes poetic structure, showing how the poet draws the reader in by narrating scenes of address from which the reader is, paradoxically excluded, as if leaning in to listen to an overheard conversation"--

Abstract

La mission archéologique syro-française de Qinnasrin a mené ses travaux de 2008 à 2010 sur le site d'al-'Iss (Syrie du Nord, région d'Alep), dans l'ensemble du bourg et dans ses environs immédiats, grâce aux financements de la Commission des fouilles du ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères, de la Fondation Max van Berchem, du CNRS et de la Direction générale des Antiquités et Musées de Syrie. Attestée depuis la fin du IIIe millénaire avant notre ère, Qinnasrin est un nœud routier et militaire important, qui domine une plaine fertile, aux confins de la steppe et des zones d'agriculture irriguée. Renommée Chalcis par les Grecs, elle est, à l'époque romaine, le siège d'une royauté et frappe monnaie. Elle joue un rôle essentiel dans le système de fortification de la Syrie du Nord mis en place par Justinien face aux Perses, puis lors de la conquête de la Syrie du Nord par les armées de l'islam. Étroitement liée à Alep, elle décline, à son profit, à partir du milieu du xe siècle et tombe dans l'oubli vers le XIVe siècle. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux et une synthèse des sources textuelles et archéologiques. Il présente la documentation constituée par les prospections pédestre et géophysique, les premières fouilles archéologiques jamais menées sur le site, l'inventaire des blocs architecturaux et la collecte de matériel. Plusieurs découvertes permettent de rendre compte de l'importance acquise par la ville, tant aux périodes les plus anciennes qu'aux époques grecque, romaine ou islamique. Pour la première fois, un scénario de l'évolution morphologique de la ville et de ses transformations est proposé. Ce second volume de la série consacrée à Qinnasrin livre un portrait inédit d'un site remarquable et largement méconnu.

Abstract

This landmark contribution to ongoing debates about perceptions of the Jews in antiquity examines the attitudes of Greek writers of the Hellenistic period toward the Jewish people. Among the leading Greek intellectuals who devoted special attention to the Jews were Theophrastus (the successor of Aristotle), Hecataeus of Abdera (the father of "scientific" ethnography), and Apollonius Molon (probably the greatest rhetorician of the Hellenistic world). Bezalel Bar-Kochva examines the references of these writers and others to the Jews in light of their literary output and personal background; their religious, social, and political views; their literary and stylistic methods; ethnographic stereotypes current at the time; and more.

Abstract

In tracing the emergence of the Macedonian kingdom from its origins as a Balkan backwater to a major European and Asian power, Eugene Borza offers to specialists and lay readers alike a revealing account of a relatively unexplored segment of ancient history. He draws from recent archaeological discoveries and an enhanced understanding of historical geography to form a narrative that provides a material-culture setting for political events. Examining the dynamics of Macedonian relations with the Greek city-states, he suggests that the Macedonians, although they gradually incorporated aspects of Greek culture into their own society, maintained a distinct ethnicity as a Balkan people. "Borza has taken the trouble to know Macedonia: the land, its prehistory, its position in the Balkans, and its turbulent modern history. All contribute ... to our understanding of the emergence of Macedon ... Borza has employed two of the historian's most valuable tools, autopsy and common sense, to produce a well-balanced introduction to the state that altered the course of Greek and Near Eastern history.
