Abstract

Thucydides regarded his unfinished work on the Peloponnesian War as a “possession for all time.” This edition offers a new translation that is more faithful to the uniqueness of the original text while at the same time remaining closer to contemporary German than previous versions. The volume includes a detailed introduction and explanatory comments. Thukydides hat sein unvollendetes Werk über den Peloponnesischen Krieg als ‚Besitztum für immer‘ für die Nachwelt konzipiert. Es wird hier in einer neuen Übersetzung vorgelegt, die einerseits die Eigenwilligkeit des Originals getreuer wiedergibt, sich andererseits jedoch von der heutigen deutschen Sprache weniger entfernt als vorhandene Versionen. Der Band bietet außerdem eine ausführliche Einleitung sowie erläuternde Anmerkungen.

Abstract

Since antiquity, Book 8 of Thucydides' History has been considered an unpolished draft which lacks revision. Even those who admit that the book has some elements of internal coherence believe that Thucydides, if death had not prevented him, would have improved many chapters or even the whole structure of the book. Consequently, while the first seven books of the History have been well examined through the last two centuries, the narrative plan of Book 8 remains an obscure subject, as we do not possess an extensive and detailed presentation of its whole narrative design. Vasileios Liotsakis tries to satisfy this central desideratum of the Thucydidean scholarship by offering a thorough description of the compositional plan, which, in his opinion, Thucydides put into effect in the last 109 chapters of his work. His study elaborates on the structural parts of the book, their details, and the various techniques through which Thucydides composed his narration in order to reach the internal cohesion of these chapters as well as their close connection to the rest of the History. Liotsakis offers us an original approach not only of Book 8 but also of the whole work, since his observations reshape our overall view of the History.

Abstract

The cause of great power war is a perennial issue for the student of politics. Some 2,400 years ago, in his monumental 'History of the Peloponnesian War', Thucydides wrote that it was the growth of Athenian power and the fear that this power inspired in Sparta which rendered the Peloponnesian War somehow necessary, inevitable, or compulsory. In this new political psychological study of Thucydides' first book, S.N. Jaffe shows how the 'History's' account of the outbreak of the war ultimately points toward the opposing characters of the Athenian and Spartan regimes, disclosing a Thucydidean preoccupation with the interplay between nature and convention. Jaffe explores how the character of the contest between Athens and Sparta, or how the outbreak of a particular war, can reveal Thucydides' account of the recurring human causes of war and peace. The political thought of Thucydides proves bound up with his distinctive understanding of the interrelationship of particular events and more universal themes.

Abstract

Book eight of Thucydides deals with the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC) after the disaster of the Sicilian expedition (413 BC), and thus with a phase in which the war seems to dissolve into a maze of individual actions. In spite of this, his description of events exercises a strange fascination on the reader, as long as one is prepared to confront the narrative as a process which many attempt to influence, but which ignores the desires and intentions of the actors while leaving behind not just apparent losers as victims.

Abstract

Only one surviving source provides a continuous narrative of Greek history from Xerxes' invasion to the Wars of the Successors following the death of Alexander the Great—the Bibliotheke, or "Library," produced by Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus (ca. 90–30 BCE). Yet generations of scholars have disdained Diodorus as a spectacularly unintelligent copyist who only reproduced, and often mangled, the works of earlier historians. Arguing for a thorough critical reappraisal of Diodorus as a minor but far from idiotic historian himself, Peter Green published Diodorus Siculus, Books 11-12.37.1, a fresh translation, with extensive commentary, of the portion of Diodorus's history dealing with the period 480–431 BCE, the so-called "Golden Age" of Athens. This is the only recent modern English translation of the Bibliotheke in existence. In the present volume—the first of two covering Diodorus's text up to the death of Alexander—Green expands his translation of Diodorus up to Athens' defeat after the Peloponnesian War. In contrast to the full scholarly apparatus in his earlier volume (the translation of which is incorporated) the present volume's purpose is to give students, teachers, and general readers an accessible version of Diodorus's history. Its introduction and notes are especially designed for this audience and provide an up-to-date overview of fifth-century Greece during the years that saw the unparalleled flowering of drama, architecture, philosophy, historiography, and the visual arts for which Greece still remains famous.

Abstract

"Tracing the conflict among the city-states of Greece over several generations, this book argues that the Peloponnesian War did not entirely end in 404 with the capture of the Athenian fleet at Aegospotami in 404 B.C. but rather continued in one form or another well into the fourth century"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Die Hamburger Colloquia Attica I-III fanden zu den Themen Fluchtafeln, Recht und Archaik statt. Eine Auswahl der dort gehaltenen Vorträge präsentiert dieser Band. Ein erster Teil widmet sich dem krisenhaften Übergang von der Archaik zur frühen Klassik, der sich in einer Welle der Gesetzeskodifikationen manifestierte (in Athen im drakontischen Totschlagsrecht und der Gesetzgebung Solons) aber auch in Veränderungen in der Körperkultur und im Konsumverhalten. Darüber hinaus wird das Recht der klassischen Polis am Beispiel der bisher vernachlässigten Amnestie von 405/4 v. Chr. dargestellt, ergänzt durch einen Forschungsüberblick zum Vertragsrecht. Ein Plädoyer für eine genauere Definition der Begriffe "heiliges Recht" und "heilige Gesetze" leitet über zum zweiten Teil, in dem Projekte zur Magie in einen fruchtbaren Dialog miteinander gebracht werden: von der Neuedition der attischen Fluchtafeln durch das Berliner Inscriptiones Graecae-Projekt über die Magdeburger Datenbank zur Erfassung aller antiken Fluchtafeln bis hin zu einer englischen Leseedition aller athenischen Täfelchen. Der Band vermittelt damit einen konzisen Überblick über jüngste Debatten und aktuelle Projekte zum antiken Athen.
