Abstract

Cet ouvrage propose la première synthèse en français sur l’histoire de la confédération béotienne à l’époque hellénistique, de la destruction de Thèbes par Alexandre le Grand (335 av. J.-C.) à la bataille de Pydna et ses conséquences immédiates en Béotie (168-167 av. J.-C.). La confédération béotienne, l’une des plus anciennes du monde grec, a joué un rôle important dans l’histoire de la Grèce pendant la période hellénistique. L’analyse des sources, notamment épigraphiques, éclaire d’un jour nouveau des pans entiers de l’histoire politique, institutionnelle, économique et sociale de ce système politique singulier. L’originalité et la pertinence de l’enquête tiennent aussi à l’apport décisif de nouvelles inscriptions, qui font pour la première fois l’objet d’une édition scientifique et d’un commentaire approfondi. Par sa rigueur et son ampleur de vue, l’ouvrage espère nourrir la réflexion sur la Béotie, mais aussi plus largement sur le fédéralisme antique, expérience politique originale qui demeure une source d’inspiration importante en Europe. Il s’intègre également dans la série des études régionales qui sont une voie majeure de progrès dans la connaissance de l’histoire grecque. Yannis Kalliontzis, ancien membre de l’École française d’Athènes, est historien et épigraphiste. Formé en Grèce, en Suisse et en France, il a étudié l’épigraphie et l’histoire de plusieurs régions de la Grèce. Il travaille actuellement à une nouvelle édition du corpus des inscriptions de la Béotie à paraître dans la série des Inscriptiones Graecae de l’Académie de Berlin. This study offers the first synthesis in French of the history of the Boeotian confederacy in the Hellenistic period, from the destruction of Thebes by Alexander the Great (335 BC) to the battle of Pydna and its immediate consequences in Boeotia (168-167 BC). The Boeotian confederacy, one of the oldest in the Greek world, played an important role in the history of Greece during the Hellenistic period. An analysis of…

Abstract

Worried that old age will inevitably mean losing your libido, your health, and possibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has some good news for you. In How to Grow Old, the great Roman orator and statesman eloquently describes how you can make the second half of life the best part of all-and why you might discover that reading and gardening are actually far more pleasurable than sex ever was.Filled with timeless wisdom and practical guidance, Cicero's brief, charming classic-written in 44 BC and originally titled On Old Age-has delighted and inspired readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Jefferson, for more than two thousand years. Presented here in a lively new translation with an informative new introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, the book directly addresses the greatest fears of growing older and persuasively argues why these worries are greatly exaggerated-or altogether mistaken.Montaigne said Cicero's book "gives one an appetite for growing old." The American founding father John Adams read it repeatedly in his later years. And today its lessons are more relevant than ever in a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of youth.
