Bacchilide a Sparta
No full textBacchilide compose per gli Spartani il ditirambo 20, intitolato Ida, in cui si narrava il mito di Ida in prospettiva Spartana. Anche l'encomio 20A potrebbe essere stato composto per gli Spartani: anche qui infatti si narra il mito di Ida.

Last kingdoms, new traditions in Hellenistic Sparta
No full textThe 4th-3rd centuries BC are marked by fundamental events which reshaped the history of Sparta. In the period of the lost Lacedaemonian hegemony over the Peloponnese, ideally comprised between the battle of Leuktra (371 BC) and the battle of Sellasia (222 BC), Sparta knew a revival in arts and culture that was marked by the important local minting of silver coinage. The monetary system, introduced by king Areus I and especially increased by Cleomenes III and Nabis, counteracted the political and social weakness and set off the new Hellenistic period of the last Spartan kingdoms, attempting to reassert Lacedaemonian hegemony in central Greece

Helen of Sparta and her very own Eidolon
No full textIn Classical Inquiries 2016.02.18, I analyzed a scene in the Homeric Odyssey where Telemachus finds himself transported into a kind of “Mycenaean heaven” while visiting the palace in Sparta where Menelaos lives together with Helen as his wife. And I argued that the picturing of Helen as a ‘daughter of Zeus’ in this context is a most fitting description of a goddess who was already worshipped at Sparta in an era as early as the second half of the second millennium BCE—an era that marks the rise and the eventual fall of an early Greek civilization that archaeologists recognize as the Mycenaean Empire. But there is a problem with this picture: how do we square the idea of Helen as goddess of Sparta with the idea of Helen of Troy as we see her come to life in the Homeric Iliad? I hope to address this problem here by taking a second look at the idea of Helen’s ‘image-double’, the word for which in Greek was eidōlon.The ClassicsVersion of Recor

Sparta in Plutarch's Lives
No full textPlutarch (born before AD 50, died after AD 120) is the ancient author who has arguably contributed more than any other to the popular conception of Sparta. Writing under the Roman Empire, at a time when the glory days of ancient Sparta were already long in the past, Plutarch represents a milestone in Sparta’s mythologisation, but at the same time is a vital source for our historical understanding of Sparta. In this volume, eight scholars from around the world come together to consider Plutarch’s understanding and presentation of Sparta, his flaws and significance as an historical source, and his development of Sparta as a resonant subject and theme within his best-known work, the Parallel Lives. This book is the latest in a series which the Classical Press of Wales is publishing on major sources for Sparta. Volumes on Xenophon and Sparta (Powell & Richer 2020) and Thucydides and Sparta (Powell & Debnar 2021) have already been released, and a further volume on Herodotus and Sparta is currently in preparation
