Abstract

Ancient evidence reveals that the earliest, written translation of the Bible in Greek was completed in Alexandria in 281 BCE, probably by seventy-one scholars, invited especially from Judaea by Ptolemy II. The work was organised by Demetrius of Phalerum, the trusted librarian of Ptolemy II, and the translation was made despite Jewish opposition and the project's high cost. Ptolemy wanted the translation to increase his famous library, to attract scholars to Alexandria and to start his reign with an impressive event. The date of the translation, early in the reign of Ptolemy II, shows that the library was built by Ptolemy Lagus, and that Demetrius of Phalerum was first placed in charge.

Abstract

Little of the historiography of third-century Athens survives, and much of what we know-or might know-about the period has come down to us in inscriptions carved by Attic stonemasons of the time. In this book Stephen Tracy, the world's preeminent expert in this area, provides new insight into an unsettled and obscure moment in antiquity.

Abstract

Erudite and urbane, a scion of the Peripatos, Demetrius of Phalerum dominated Athenian political life for a decade (317-307 B.C.E.) with Macedonian support. Viewed by some as the embodiment of the longed-for 'philosopher-king', Demetrius has been seen a test case for the interplay of philosophical training and political praxis in antiquity. This book, through a close re-examination of the fragmentary and diffuse testimonia for Demetrius’ decade, argues that such a view misunderstands his legislative, constitutional and financial reforms, which should rather be seen within the context of Macedonian suzerainty, Athenian self-interest, and contemporary social changes. Such a context also affords a better understanding of the dynamic relations between the Macedonian generals and the preeminent Greek city at the dawn of the Hellenistic era.

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.
