Title: "Enduring Failure in Early Hellenistic Athens"
Speaker: Prof. T. Martin, Holy Cross College, Worcester MA
Location: UC 144
Abstract:
The long title is: "Enduring Failure in Early Hellenistic Athens: From
Plutarch, Phocion 28 to IG II(2) 657".
Abstract:
The worst day in the history of Athenian democracy dawned in 322 BC. A
Macedonian garrison marched in, democratic government was abolished,
thousands of people were exiled, and the gods, above all Demeter of
Eleusis, did nothing. Fifteen years later, a Macedonian liberated Athens
and restored its ancestral democracy. The Athenians responded by divinizing
him in the flesh. Twenty years on, this living god was gone, but his
Macedonian garrisons occupied forts in Athenian territory, Eleusis among
them. Yet a new festival was inaugurated in Eleusis honoring Demeter and
celebrating the freedom of the demos. What does all this mean about
Athenian notions of freedom and divine favor in the early Hellenistic
period? Was there something different from the notions of Classical times?
We will look together at selected primary sources with these questions in
mind.
