Abstract

Using all available evidence - literary, epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological - this study offers a new analysis of the early Hellenistic Peloponnese. The conventional picture of the Macedonian kings as oppressors, and of the Peloponnese as ruined by warfare and tyranny, must be revised. The kings did not suppress freedom or exploit the peninsula economically, but generally presented themselves as patrons of Greek identity. Most of the regimes characterised as 'tyrannies' were probably, in reality, civic governorships, and the Macedonians did not seek to overturn tradition or build a new imperial order. Contrary to previous analyses, the evidence of field survey and architectural remains points to an active, even thriving civic culture and a healthy trading economy under elite patronage. Despite the rise of federalism, particularly in the form of the Achaean league, regional identity was never as strong as loyalty to one's city-state (polis).

Abstract

Étudier le Péloponnèse entre le ive et le viiie siècle : le renouvellement de la documentation et de la problématique historique a dicté cette entreprise. Examinant l’évolution interne qui caractérise cette période, l’auteur a mis l’accent autant sur les changements que sur les continuités, dans une région de la Grèce méridionale souvent laissée dans l’ombre, particulièrement durant la fin du vie, le viieet le viiiesiècle. L’auteur souligne la complexité des modifications pour montrer qu’elles ne revêtent pas l’aspect d’une opposition païen-chrétien ou urbain-rural : l’on passe de l’un à l’autre, non par une brusque interruption mais par un processus graduel. Elle étudie sous cet aspect la forme et la fonction de l’habitat, la société, l’économie et la culture. A côté de persistances notables dans le domaine de l’administration civile et ecclésiastique, l’ouvrage aborde largement les changements provoqués par la nature et par l’homme, notamment l’impact de la présence slave, étudiée à l’aide d’une documentation nouvelle ou renouvelée.
