The Continuation of a Civic Obligation? The Athenian Trierachy in the Late Third Century BCE
No full textWhile it is clear that third-centuryBCE Athens continued to maintain a fleet, albeit a much smaller one than in previous centuries, it is usually believed that the Athe-nian trierarchy had been abolished during the reign of Demetrios of Phaleron (318-308 BCE). However, an honorificdecree (I.Rhamnous 31) from Rhamnous, voted for a trier-arch by an association of sailors, gives evidence for the existence of a late-third-century BCE trierarchy, which preserved the basic features of its Classical predecessor. The Athe-nians continued to appoint trierarchs for year-long terms, expected them to serve in person and required them to pay for the maintenance of the ship in their care. The permanent assignment to the ship of a crew, which formed an association and acted as an agent of the Athenian state, represented an innovation
From Flowers to Plants:Plant-Thinking in Nineteenth-Century Danish Flower Painting
No full textIn the nineteenth century, flower painters in Denmark shifted from depicting arranged, cut flowers to showing plants within their ecosystems. This article explores this shift by examining four paintings by the artists Christine Løvmand and Anthonore Christensen. According to Michael Marder and Emanuele Coccia, important philosophers in critical plant studies, plants have been overlooked as world creators. Coccia highlights the nineteenth century as a particularly low point, in this regard, but seeks exceptions and points to significant nineteenth-century articulations of how plants move in, sense, and create their environment. An investigation of Danish art and botany reveals similar articulations, as several significant artists made growing rather than cut plants the theme of some of their paintings and botanists explored the wild flora and the agency of plants. This nineteenth-century shift in focus from flowers to plants disseminates notions of plants that can inspire and help us reorient our relationship with the natural world.In the nineteenth century, flower painters in Denmark shifted from depicting arranged, cut flowers to showing plants within their ecosystems.
