“…Cf. 15 There is considerable disagreement over whether Eion was also a (dependent) polis (Hansen (1996) 44;(1997) 88;(2006) 10), a fortified emporion and not a polis (Isaac (1986) 60-62) or not a polis but strictly an Athenian commercial site (Bresson (1993) 219-20;Pébarthe (1999) 139). 12 Meiggs (1972) 68, Schuller (1974) 17, 27, 155 and Figueira (1991 16, 138 all accept the evidence of Plutarch that Eion became a colony, though with insufficient attention to the implications; as noted above, Meiggs views it principally as protection of the region through a military presence, but without asking in whose interest the protection occurred.…”

Its absence from the (extant) quota list record (except for reference in the list of 447/6 to Abderan tribute paid 'to the generals at Eion'; IG I 3 265 col. I.105) need not be decisive against Eion as a polis, since in that event it would have been regarded, with Plutarch, as a dependent colony of Athens, thereby perhaps not subject to tribute; this seems to be the view of Meiggs (1972) 68 n.4.…”

“…Alternatively, the lucrative gains from the emporion produced for Athens may well have exempted the settlement from tribute payments. 16 In examining the meaning and use of the term emporion, Bresson (1993) 215-16 notes the terminological variety in describing a particular site depending on a writer's perspective: if political or military, polis or Meiggs suggests that Eion was 'too important strategically to be left to the local inhabitants and the allies may not have resented this Athenian military occupation'. 17 This comment neatly alerts us to the importance of perspective.…”

The Origins of the Athenian Economic ARCHE

Histories of the Athenian Empire (478-404 BC) have traditionally been offered as political and military narratives. They explain the origins of a naval alliance created in 478/7 BC, the so-called Delian League under Athenian leadership and its development into an 'empire' (arche) sometime in mid-century. Moreover, most treat the phenomenon as comprehensible as a self-contained period of enquiry. This article takes issue with both approaches. Through close examination of a wide variety of evidence connected with Athenian activity during the formative years of the 'Delian League' (478 to ca. 465), it argues that the Athenians made immediate use of the League navy and funds to appropriate resources, profits and territory for themselves, especially in Thrace, beginning with the capture of Eion on the Strymon, but also that these interests explain other early activities. Finally, it argues that the Athenians' economic behaviour should be understood in the context of Athenian aims and activities in the Archaic period.

Vox Populi, Vox Deorum? Athenian Document Reliefs and the Theologies of Public Inscription

This article argues that, by concentrating on a reading of the depictions of deities on the Athenian document reliefs as symbolic representations of states rather than as divinities, previous scholarly approaches to them have failed to explore the role they ascribe to the gods in collective decision-making and the exercise of public authority. This article resituates the interpretation of these monuments in the context of other monuments depicting the gods and recent approaches to them, and the other ways in which public inscriptions, both at Athens and elsewhere, make reference to divine actors, through their erection in sacred spaces and the use of thetheoiheading. It then examines the range of possible readings of the relationship between divine agency and political decision-making which these monuments privilege and argues that they reflect a conventional understanding that, in general, Athenian decision-making was underpinned by the gods.

New Contexts for the Seuthopolis Inscription (IGBulg 3.2 1731)

Summary The Seuthopolis Inscription (IGBulg 3.2 1731), traditionally regarded in scholarship as an index of the progress of Hellenization in Thrace in the early Hellenistic period or used to establish a historical narrative for the region during that period, is here set against a broader background of late Classical and early Hellenistic political practice in Thrace, in which a developing culture of public inscription played a central role. Two aspects of the Seuthopolis Inscription are treated in detail: first, its oath content; and, second, the relationship of the monument to a broader documentary background.
