Sex and Pottery: Erotic Images on Athenian Cups, 600-300 B.C.Banner, Michael Lee 13 December 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Many pages have been written concerning erotic images on Greek vases but few studies have focused on the frequency of erotic images. This is an important concept in determining the significance of the erotic images. Various Athenian cups from the online holdings of the Beazley Archive were investigated, using simple tabulations and Chi-square analysis, for erotic images. Out of 7901 cups only 130 had erotic images. As cups with erotic images represented only a small portion of the sample it was likely that they only appealed to the tastes of a small sub-set of the Athenian population. The context of these images is questionable and the historical community should use them with caution.

Tragic Male Suicide in Fifth-century AthensBeauchamp, Daniel 11 1900 (has links)
The cultural ascendency of Athens during the fifth century BC involved the production of works of tragedy. Among the purposes of tragedies was the moral education of Athenian society. The democratic organization of Athens meant that the polis was predicated upon the political and social contributions of adult, citizen men. Given these features, it is all the more striking that male suicide, so apparently destructive of these goods, is mainly depicted positively throughout Attic tragedy. The presence of these moments in the tragedies suggests that the Athenians intended to model positive meaning through these representations. The aim of this study is to show how the framing of male suicide in tragedy mimicked Athenian ideals of civic duty and civic pride that were the products of an increasing cultural hegemony during the Peloponnesian War. The findings of this thesis will demonstrate that the Athenians engaged with the issues of government, self-sacrifice, and social contribution through the performances of male suicide at the City Dionysia. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA) / During the Peloponnesian War in the fifth century BC, the ancient Greek city of Athens produced a number of works of tragedy. These plays were part of Athens’ cultural ascendancy during this period, and were intended to contribute to the moral education of Athenian citizens. As this citizen body was made up of adult men, it is striking that one seemingly destructive aspect of Greek tragedy, that of male suicide, is depicted positively throughout the surviving plays. This thesis will demonstrate that the ancient Athenians portrayed male suicide in a particular way in tragedy in order to glorify cultural ideals of civic duty and civic pride during this period.

Law, reconciliation and philosophy : Athenian democracy at the end of the fifth century B.CHuang, Juin-lung January 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to defend Athenian democracy against a long-established suspicion that the Athenian government, with its radical form of popular participation, was not only incompetent but also dangerous. There are two serious misunderstandings in this traditional view; one is the myth of the decline of Athens after the death of Pericles, the other being the outright denial of Athenian democracy by its philosophers, Xenophon and Plato. These two common presumptions about Athenian history and philosophy are therefore examined. The historical examination focuses on three important events: the law reform, the reconciliation and the trial of Socrates. All of them were conducted by Athenian democracy at the end of the fifth century B.C., a period of time that is often cited for the failure of democracy. However, it is found that the democracy demonstrated its excellent ability to manage political conflicts through the laws and the reconciliation. As to the infamous trial of Socrates, there were reasons for the popular suspicion of the Philosopher’s way of life. Following what we have learnt in the historical survey, we search for responses to the three events in the works of Xenophon and Plato. There are passages, though often dismissed by scholars, which indicate remarkable recognition of the democratic achievements in domestic politics. As regards the trial of Socrates, there are also signs of second thoughts in their works that reveal understandings of the democracy’s condemnation of philosophy. The works of Socrates’ pupils show mixed evaluation rather than outright denial of Athenian democracy. The traditional suspicion of Athenian democracy is therefore problematic due to its misconception of Athenian history and philosophy.

L'impérialisme athénien vu des Cyclades (478-338 a.C.) / The Athenian imperialism seen from the Cyclades (478-338 a.C.)Bonnin, Grégory 08 September 2012 (has links)
Cette thèse de doctorat envisage l’histoire des relations entre Athènes et les Cyclades au cours de l’époque classique, des Guerres médiques à l’Indépendance délienne. L’impérialisme athénien est ici étudié dans une perspective nouvelle, inspirée des subaltern studies : la manière dont les Insulaires ont vécu, compris, perçu et, en définitive, réagi face à la domination athénienne est au cœur de cet ouvrage. Cette étude contribue à modifier notre perception de l’impérialisme athénien, jusque-là trop souvent compris dans ses seules ramifications coercitives. Renverser la focale, c’est redonner aux dominés le rôle actif qu’ils ont eu à l’époque classique : les Insulaires, privés des moyens pour lutter contre l’envahissante hégémonie athénienne, l’ont acceptée, profitant des bienfaits que la pax Atheniensis leur apportait. Ce travail offre aussi l’histoire de la création d’un nouvel espace, dont les habitants affirment leur identité commune face à la domination d’Athènes : les “îles” deviennent, aux yeux des Athéniens et des Insulaires de l’époque classique, les Cyclades. / This PhD thesis reveals the story of the relationship between Athens and the Cyclades during the Classical era, from the Persian Wars to the period of Delian Independence. Athenian Imperialism is questioned here from a new perspective, inspired by subaltern studies. Central to this book is the way the Islanders lived under Athenian domination: how they understood and perceived it and, ultimately, how they reacted to it. This study helps change our understanding of Athenian power, which until now has only ever been understood in terms of its coercive ways. Switching the focus is to restore an active role to the subalterns: with no means of resisting the intrusive Athenian hegemony, the Islanders accepted it and enjoyed the benefits of the pax Atheniensis. This work also offers the story of the creation of a new place, in which inhabitants assert their common identity under Athenian domination. In the minds of Athenians and islanders alike, the islands come to be known as the Cyclades.
