PAPERBACK, attractive copy, appears unused. SAMONS, LOREN J. Pericles and the conquest of history: a political biography. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2016, xvi, 329pp., . "As the most famous and important political leader in Athenian history, Pericles has featured prominently in descriptions and analyses of Athenian democracy from antiquity to the present day. Although contemporary historians have tended to treat him as representative of values like liberty and equality, Loren J. Samons, II demonstrates that the quest to make Athens the preeminent power in Greece served as the central theme of Pericles' career. More nationalist than humanist and less rationalist than populist, Pericles' vision for Athens rested on the establishment of an Athenian reputation for military success and the citizens' willingness to sacrifice in the service of this goal. Despite his own aristocratic (if checkered) ancestry, Pericles offered the common and collective Athenian people the kind of fame previously available only to heroes and nobleman, a goal made all the more attractive because of the Athenians' defensiveness about Athens' lackluster early history" - CONTENTS: To be an Athenian -- Curses, tyrants, and Persians (c.500-479) -- The dominance of Kimon (c.479-462/1) -- The democratic revolution (c.462/1-444/3) -- A Greek empire (c.460-445) -- Pericles and Sparta : the outbreak of the Great War (444/3-431) -- Pericles and Athenian nationalism : the conquest of history -- Athenian culture and the intellectual revolution : Pericles and the people -- Epilogue : the Periclean tradition -- APPENDICES.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 91-102. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author to Jeffrey Henderson. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very clean. - From the text: Athenian officials in the fifth century maintained careful records of treasure owned by their gods, and of the expenditures and receipts of sacred moneys and dedications. These records are conventionally divided into two main types: (i) inventories, or annual lists of the treasure located in a particular repository, and (ii) accounts, or documents recording the receipts and expenditures (or loans) of sacred treasuries over a given period. A few documents seem to combine both these elements, and have been called accounts-inventories. In a well-known example, Athenas treasurers maintained records of valuable items located in three cellae of the building moderns call the Parthenon. Moreover, they published their records of these items in three separate series of inscriptions, one each dedicated to the pronaos, the hekatompedos and the parthenon ;3 these records are conventionally referred to as the inventories of Athenas treasure and are extant from 434/3.

Haase. - Name of the author handwritten on the cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: In 1932 C. M. Smertenko published a short paper in which she attempted to demonstrate the moderate "political sympathies" of Aeschylus by considering his treatment of the curse on the Atreid family as played out in the Eumenides, produced in 458. Drawing parallels between that curse and the agos that had fallen upon the Alkmeonid family for slaying suppliants after Kylon's failed coup attempt in Athens c. 632 (Hdt. 5.71, Thuc. 1.126), she connected the position of the Atreid Orestes (accursed and requiring purification for his matricide) with the position of Perikles, who had inherited his ancestors' curse through his Alkmeonid mother.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 129-138. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, longtime editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author to W. Haase. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: Imperial Athens in the years before the Peloponnesian War pursued an aggressive military policy at sea, undertook a massive and expensive building program at home, and instituted public payment for services such as jury duty. Often scholars have attributed Athens ability to finance some if not all of these programs to the accumulated reserve fund of the so-called Delian league, believed to have been transferred from Delos to Athens in 454, and to the annual tribute paid to Athens by the members of that alliance. Occasionally historians have resisted this conclusion and recently two scholars have presented papers arguing that, at least in the case of the Parthenon, the source of Athens funding should not be sought in the imperial reserve or tribute income. The idea that Athenas treasury could have afforded to build her own temple without recourse to league funds is not inherently unreasonable. In fact, as L. Kallet-Marx points out, the Athenians believed they could afford such a building in the 480s, some years before they had access to annual tribute payments. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550. …

Reprint. Zustand: Gut. pp. 179-182. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Cover rubbed and bumped, author's name handwritten on cover,otherwise clean. - From the text: Scholars have long maintained that the series of inscribed inventories of Athenas treasure in the three cellae of the Parthenon (the hekatompedon, parthenon, and pronaos) beginning with the year 434/3, and the supposed orders to publish such inventories believed to be implied in the so-called second financial decree of Kallias, provide evidence for the passage of the Kallias decrees (IG i3 52A, B) in this year. However, in a recent article I have argued that the portion of the putative second Kallias decree that has been taken to imply an order to publish inventories of Athenas treasure in the Parthenon (IG i3 52B, lines 26-29) in fact does not refer to this treasure in the Parthenon at all. The procedures spelled out in the decree are inconsistent with those in the actual inventories as they have come down to us; the orders in these lines rather refer to a certain amount of treasure (primarily monetary) in the Opisthodomos, a subject at issue on both sides of the stone. Here I wish to provide additional support for this conclusion, and to make two related points. 1) The published inventories for the years 434/3-433/2 in fact suggest that no order to publish inventories of the Parthenon treasure existed before early 432/1, and 2) those who would date the Kallias decrees to 434/3 should therefore reject the idea that decree B ordered the publication of these inventories, otherwise a traditional support for the date 434/3 must become a liability.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 99-123. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, longtime editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author to W. Haase. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: M. I. FINLEY, in the preface to the first edition of his Democracy Ancient and Modern (1973), wrote that he had attempted to bring the ancient (Greek) experience to bear on the subject of a major contemporary discussion, the theory of democracy. This kind of discourse, once not uncommon, has fallen into desuetude. In the years since the publication of Finleys work, few mainstream classical scholars have explicitly attempted to follow in his footsteps, although gender and afrocentrist debates have at times taken on the appearance of arguments about the modern world rather than controversies about issues (and beings) long dead.
