Hi all Here is a link I think is interesting. http://rogueclassicism.com/2014/07/31/cup-used-by-perikles/ The two names Arrifron and Perikles, the two brothers does not leave much room for doubts about the cup in question being used by the great man of Athens himself (just enlarge the cup photo and ...

I add a subtitle to my reply "The Beotarch Xenocrates deserved an epigram (after being dead of course)..." As to numbers, I have already referred to the general consensus on that score, and outlined the reasoning, namely some 10,000 or so Lakedaemonians and 1,000 cavalry; and 7-9,000 Boeot...

In 457 BC the battle of TanagRa took place between the Athenians and their allies (14.000 in total) , the cavalry of Thessaly, versus the Spartan army.

Excellent pictures, Pauline, could you just clear one thing up, what is the modern name for Kreusis? The modern name of Kreusis is Livadostrata, a name the Katalanoi gave to the area and it means "riva d' ostria- the side of the southern wind" Also, Paralus, thank you for the Delphi photo...

Hi all The Lykeion where Aristotle taught when he returned to Athens after Alexander's education was finished, has been dug up for over a decate in the center of Athens. As the information stands on the site confirm, it is hard to appreciate from the humble remain of the building the importance of t...

Thank you both very much for your comments. Agesilaos, the casket contains a skeleton , so it is not empy ( the hyptothetical skeleton of Alexander ).Anyway i think it is a interesting and rare icon never seen before i mean by me.

Hi all It's common knowledge that one of Alexander's pet dogs was called Peritas (but I do not remember the source for this). There is a late epigraph, on the 5th verse of which the name is mentioned (which by the way is a name for a person not a pet) along with a commentary that states that the nam...
