Surely the ancient Greeks would have been baffled to see what we consider their "mythology." Here, Claude Calame mounts a powerful critique of modern-day misconceptions on this front and the lax methodology that has allowed them to prevail. He argues that the Greeks viewed their abundance of narratives not as a single mythology but as an "archaeology." They speculated symbolically on key historical events so that a community of believing citizens could access them efficiently, through ritual means. Central to the book is Calame's rigorous and fruitful analysis of various accounts of the foundation of that most "mythical" of the Greek colonies--Cyrene, in eastern Libya. Calame opens with a magisterial historical survey demonstrating today's misapplication of the terms "myth" and "mythology." Next, he examines the Greeks' symbolic discourse to show that these modern concepts arose much later than commonly believed. Having established this interpretive framework, Calame undertakes a comparative analysis of six accounts of Cyrene's foundation: three by Pindar and one each by Herodotus (in two different versions), Callimachus, and Apollonius of Rhodes. We see how the underlying narrative was shaped in each into a poetically sophisticated, distinctive form by the respective medium, a particular poetical genre, and the specific socio-historical circumstances. Calame concludes by arguing in favor of the Greeks' symbolic approach to the past and by examining the relation of mythos to poetry and music.

Did you know that while the Greek civilization is thousands of years old, Greece itself has only been a nation since the early 1800s? Many people know about the glories of ancient Greece: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the sculptures, the writings of Homer, and the adventures of Achilles and Jason and the Argonauts. They know about the Greek gods and goddesses, of Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and many others. Even the term "Trojan Horse," named after the trick that the Greeks played on the inhabitants of Troy, has made it into our language. Ancient Greece gave us philosophy, math, medicine, the roots of many languages, and so much more. And then...nothing. The Golden Age of Greece ended more than two thousand years ago, and that's where most people's knowledge ends, but in the over two thousand years since the glories of Athens and Sparta, the Greeks have endured occupation, rebellion, slavery, war, and triumph again and again. Your knowledge of Greece is about to get an update. In this new Captivating History book, you will discover the truth about modern Greece. In Captivating History's History of Modern Greece, you'll learn that: The Greek civilization enjoyed a new "golden age" in the Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire. In 1453, the Ottoman Turks destroyed the last remnants of Byzantine glory. The Turks incorporated Greece into their empire, which lasted until 1918. Many Greeks actually fought for the Ottomans. Some Greeks became powerful Ottoman political figures. People all over western Europe and America supported Greece's war of independence. One of these "Philhellenes" ("lover of the Greeks") was the famous British poet Lord Byron. It took a series of wars to form the country we recognize today. Greece launched a disastrous invasion of Turkey in 1921. And much, much more! Scroll up and click the "add to cart" button to learn more about modern Greece!

COLONY AND MOTHER CITY IN ANCIENT GREECE by A. B. GRAHAM. Preface: The first part of the book is to a description of Greek and tices regarding the actual founding of a colony, about which there appear to have been general fixed principles. He then goes on to consider the subsequent relations between the colony its mother city.

He also considers the variations found In the relationships caused by such factors as distance and the power and ambitions of the mother city. As a synthesis which presents and discusses material widely spread in place and time, much of It previously accessible only to specialists, this book should become both the standard general treat ment of the subject and the basis for future studies of this aspect of Greek colonization.

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... had been deposed from the generalship, but he had a party of his own and he held Thermopylae with the strong places in its neighbourhood. When it was noised abroad that Philip was about to march southward in answer to the Theban prayer, the Phocians invited Athens and Sparta to help them once again to The hold the gates of Greece. Both Athens and Sparta again "'"sUion" responded to the call; but the call had come from the P)iaiaccv.u. political opponents of Phalaecus, and he refused to admit either Spartan or Athenian into the pass. Phalaecus seems to have previously assisted the enemies of Athens in Euboea; and statesmen at Athens might now feel some uneasiness, whether he would not turn traitor and surrender the pass to Philip. It was another reason for acquiescing in the necessity of making peace. Fh-si The first overtures came from Athens. Ten Athenian 'toPhiiii envovsi and oue representative of the Synedrion of Athenian emlo/ allies, were sent to Pella to negotiate terms of peace with the ' '--'-Macedonian king. Among the envoys were Philocrates, who had proposed the embassy, Aeschines, and Demosthenes. The terms to which Philip agreed were that Athens and Macedon should each retain the territories of which they were actually in possession at the time the peace was concluded; the peace would be concluded when both sides had sworn to it. Both the allies of Macedonia and those of Athens were to be included, with two exceptions: Philip refused to treat with (Uaion-Halus in Thessaly--a place which he had recently attacked--or with the Phocians, whom he seemed determined to crush. By these terms, which were perfectly explicit, Athens would surrender her old claim to Amphipolis, and on the other hand Philip would recognise Athens as...
