Abstract

This is the first book on athletics in the Hellenistic era, with 16 contributions covering a range of historical, archaeological and philological perspectives. Previous scholarship has focused primarily on the classical age and the Roman imperial period, but it was in the Hellenistic age that Greek sport saw several important developments: the spread of Greek athletic culture in the East following the campaigns of Alexander the Great, the foundation of new athletic contests, and the emergence of a professional association of athletes. Topics discussed in this volume include how agonistic victories were exploited in legitimating (some) Hellenistic kings, the value placed on athletic prowess in the lively urban culture of this time, the role of sport in defining Greek identity, and the changing modes of representation of athletic action in literature and the arts. In emphasizing the central place of athletics in Greek culture, these papers offer new insights and will have far-reaching implications for our understanding of the wider political and social history of the Hellenistic period.

Abstract

In the ancient Graeco-Roman East different types of interaction between Greek and local cultures took place. The present book investigates them from different viewpoints in their different manifestations (education, language, literature, etc.), and in different geographical areas: Egypt, Syria, Pontus Cappadocia, Propontis, Bithynia, Phrygia, Pisidia or the whole of Asia Minor.0Did the Greek paideia intermingle with local traditions in the education of the local ruling classes? Did that have an impact on their prestige? Did this affect social classes? What were the extent and consequences of the linguistic contact between Greek and the local languages? Where there phenomena of Greek-local cultural translations or adaptations? What was the degree of penetration of the Greek literary models or topoi? How was the interaction of Greek paideia and the ancestral (local or regional) religions? What was the role of the Greek paideia as a signpost of identity? How did Greek and Latin coexist in this context?0To answer such questions, the different papers in the current volume study each of them from a particular point of view, paying attention to the evidence available.

Abstract

Rolf Strootman brings together various aspects of court culture in the Macedonian empires of the post-Achaemenid Near East. During the Hellenistic Period (c. 330-30 BCE), Alexander the Great and his successors reshaped their Persian and Greco-Macedonian legacies to create a new kind of rulership that was neither 'western' nor 'eastern' and would profoundly influence the later development of court culture and monarchy in both the Roman West and Iranian East. Drawing on the socio-political models of Norbert Elias and Charles Tilly, After the Achaemenids shows how the Hellenistic dynastic courts were instrumental in the integration of local elites in the empires, and the (re)distribution of power, wealth, and status. It analyses the competition among courtiers for royal favour and the, not always successful, attempts of the Hellenistic rulers to use these struggles to their own advantage.

Abstract

After conquering one of the biggest empires the world has ever seen, Alexander the Great died prematurely in 323 B.C., without leaving a suitable heir to the throne. During the next decades his generals, thenceforth known as the Diadochoi; or Successors, unremittingly fought over the king's inheritance. The balance of power which ultimately resulted from their struggle would determine the course of events in the eastern Mediterranean for centuries to come. Despite its historical importance many aspects of the age of the Successors remain underexplored. Written by leading international specialists, the 24 contributions to this book help in remedying that situation by addressing new issues or shedding fresh light on old questions. They not only explore the written and material evidence for the epoch, the Successors' armies and military campaigns, their political ambitions and relationships with Greek cities, but they also address several social, economic, religious, numismatic, art-historical and urbanistic issues. They will significantly enhance our knowledge of the creation of the Hellenistic kingdoms as well as on the then prevailing dynastic ideas and practices.

Abstract

Das dritte Jahrhundert v. Chr. war geprägt von der Konkurrenz der Könige unterschiedlicher Dynastien. Gerade in den Gebieten wechselnder Machtverhältnisse und Einflusszonen mussten nun die griechischen Poleis ebenso wie die Monarchen Mittel und Wege finden, sich einerseits mit dem Gegenüber zu arrangieren und andererseits die eigenen Interessen zu behaupten. Als Kommunikationskanäle dienten hierbei vor allem die ˈFreundeˈ der Könige, die im Rahmen diplomatischer Missionen oder als Amtsträger den Dialog zwischen Stadt und Monarch maßgeblich prägten. Im Spannungsfeld von Polis und Königshof bewegten sie sich gleichsam zwischen zwei Welten, vermittelten zwischen diesen und profitierten von beiden.Philip Egetenmeiers umfassende Analyse der epigraphischen Zeugnisse zeigt, wie die Städte mit Ehrenbeschlüssen um die Gunst dieser einflussreichen Mittler kämpften und welcher Darstellungsformen sie sich bedienten. Damit leistet Egetenmeier nicht nur einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Tätigkeitsfelder von Königsfreunden, sondern schließt auch an aktuelle Debatten zur Erinnerungskultur in der hellenistischen Polis an.
