On a late September day in 480 B.C., Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred, the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history -- halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens. In this dramatic new narrative account, historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles, Athens' great leader (and admiral of its fleet), who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes, the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus, the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia, the only woman commander known from antiquity, who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights, sounds, and scent of battle, The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history.

Salamis and the Salaminioi for the first time provides a thorough investigation of the people of the island of Salamis and their status in the Classical period. The first part of the work surveys the sixth-century history of the island, and challenges the communis opinio that Salamis was a klerouchy. Part II considers the setting and organization of the Classical community on the island - here called an "unofficial" demos. Part III investigates the demos during the tumultuous third century. Salamis and the Salaminioi will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of all those interested in Athenian history and citizenship, the Kleisthenic deme system, Hellenistic Athens, and rural Attica.

Een zeestraat waar expansiedromen stranden. Het Perzische rijk probeert al decennialang een aantal Griekse stadstaten te onderwerpen. De opeenvolgende militaire campagnes leveren afwisselend overwinningen en nederlagen op. Een deel van Griekenland heeft zich onderworpen, andere Griekse steden kiezen voor neutraliteit en de machtige steden uit het zuiden zoals Athene, Korinthe en Olympia of Sparta weigeren te knielen. In 480 voor Christus, na meer dan vier jaar minutieuze voorbereiding, vertrekt de Perzische koning Xerxes I op een nieuwe expeditie. Een titanische oorlogsexpeditie die niet te stoppen lijkt. Maar net als de legendarische held Achilles uit de Griekse mythologie, heeft het machtige Perzische leger een achilleshiel: arrogantie. Ze zijn zo zeker van de overwinning dat de Achaemenidische vloot de hinderlaag van de Grieken te laat opmerkt. In de wateren van de straat van Salamis zullen hun dromen van expansie stranden...

Excerpt from Salamis in Easy Attic Greek: With Introduction, Notes and Vocabulary During the fighting at Thermopylae the Greek and Persian fleets had been engaged at Artemisium and the neighbourhood but the results were less decisive. The losses On both sides were severe. During operations extending over three days the Persians lost no less than 600 triremes in two violent storms; and the Greeks suffered heavily in much desperate fighting. Then the news of Thermopylae settled the question. The Greeks sailed with all speed to the Isthmus of Corinth; this was to be their next line of defence. The consternation at Athens, thus sacrificed to the Barbarian, was extreme. But Themistocles bade the people abandon their city and trust to their Wooden Walls.' The eet was first employed in conveying the non-fighting population to various places Of safety; and then it took up its position in the land-locked bay of Salamis, in order to protect the Isthmus from attack by sea.
