Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...which afterwards bore her name, where she bore to the god a son Cychreus, who became king of the island. The island is said to have been once called Sciras and Cychrea after the heroes Scirus and Cychreus (Strabo, 9, p. 393; Steph. Byz. s.v. Kuxpeios rdyos). Aeschylus (Pers. 570) speaks of the Cychrean shores.--9. 4Catov: when the Lacedaemonians acted as arbitrators between Athens and Megara for the possession of Salamis, Solon is said to have alleged that Philaeus and Eurysaces, two sons of Ajax, received the Athenian citizenship and surrendered the island to Athens (Plut. Solon, 10). Pausanias makes Philaeus a son of Eurysaces and grandson of Ajax. But Pherecydes (quoted Biogr. Gr., ed. Westermann, p. 187) and Herodotus (6, 35), with whom later writers agree, make Philaeus a son of Ajax. Cf. J. Tiipffer, Attische Genealogie, pp. 269 sqq.--12. dvao-Td Tous: the surrender of Salamis to Cassander seems to have happened in 318 B.C. (Polyaen. 4, 11; Droysen, Gesch. d. Hell. II, 1, 230). For the next ninety years it was probably held by a Macedonian garrison. In 229 B.c. Avatus restored it to Athens (Plut. Aratus, 34; Paus. 2, 8, 0; Droysen, III, 2, 57). At this time the punishment here alluded to may have been inflicted. 19. T Atavn: the Athenian epheboi regularly took part in the annual festival of Ajax on the island of Salamis, when the features were a procession, a sacrifice to Ajax, athletic sports, and a regatta. (Hesych. s.v. Aldvreta; C.I.A. II, 467-471.) See Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. I, 920 sqq. s.v. Aianteia.--20.

This study questions the traditional view of sacrifices in hero-cults during the Archaic to the early Hellenistic periods. The analysis of the epigraphical and literary evidence for sacrifices to heroes in these periods shows, contrary to the traditional notion, that the main ritual in hero-cults was a thysia at which the worshippers consumed the meat from the animal victim. A particular handling of the animal’s blood or a holocaust, rituals previously taken to be typical for heroes, can rarely be documented and must be considered as marginal features in hero-cults. The terms eschara, escharon, bothros, enagizein, enagisma, enagismos and enagisterion, believed to be characteristic for hero-cults, are seldom used in hero-contexts before the Roman period and occur mainly in the Byzantine lexicographers and in the scholia. Since the main kind of sacrifice in hero-cults was a thysia, a ritual intimately connected with the social structure of society, the heroes must have fulfilled the same role as the gods within the Greek religious system. The fact that the heroes were dead seems to have been of little significance for the sacrificial rituals and it is questionable whether the rituals of hero-cults are to be considered as originating in the cult of the dead.

This book is an attempt to take seriously the cliche that Greek religion is an eminently social phenomenon. It differs from `Histories of Greek Religion' by focusing on a particular Greek city with particular social structures. It treats a much broader range of phenomena than do books on `Athenian festivals'. It seeks to bridge the gap that usually divides studies of Greek religion from studies of Greek history and society. Among the topics discussed are the actual dates and circumstances of foundation of many temples, festivals, and cults at Athens, the historical development of the social structures within which religious activities took place, and the effects in the religious sphere of the radical shift in Athens' political life from tyranny to democracy and the acquisition of an empire. Robert Parker investigates the relation between religion and political prestige, considers the introduction of new cults, and looks in detail at such key personalities and events in the religious history of Athens as Lycurgus the Eteoboutad and his religious policies, and the trial of Socrates. The period covered is roughly that from 750 to 250 BC.

'Kosmos' is the word the ancient Greeks used for human social order. It has therefore a special application to the Greeks' peculiar social and political unit of communal life that they called the 'polis'. Of the many hundreds of such units in classical Greece the best documented and the most complex was democratic Athens. The purpose of this collective 1998 volume is to re-evaluate the foundations of classical Athens' highly successful experiment in communal social existence. Topics addressed include religion and ritualization, political friendship and enmity, gender and sexuality, sports and litigation, and economic and symbolic exchange. The book aims to make a major contribution, theoretical as well as empirical, towards understanding how the social order of community life may be sustained and enhanced.

A novel with echoes of timeless classics such as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Borrowers, and Alice in Wonderland, Garry Kilworth's Attica reveals a twilight world of forgotten wonders, and extraordinary adventures—all happening just above our heads. Join Jordy, Alex, and Chloe as they cross the portal from our world to a strange and wonderful other place, accessible for just a moment in time through the trap-door of the attic in their family home. From hat-stand forests, to towering hills of old musical instruments, deserts of old books and a great water-tank lake, the vast continent they stumble upon is one of limitless surprises—and that's before they meet the inhabitants: strange clans of small and lumpen people who live in homes constructed from all manner of found things and drive vehicles powered by old sewing-machine parts. It is against this remarkable backdrop that the three children will embark on a spellbinding adventure to recover a prized possession, save a life, and—somehow—find a way back home. A story of courage, loyalty and friendship; of Browsers, Shadow-Tangles and Tatterdermalions; of incredible landscapes, ingenious devices, and cunning plot twists, Attica has a richness and depth that will delight readers of all ages.
