“…Figs 12 and 13) 30 . Furthermore, the lower body of the piece from Knossos shows no sign of the gradual contraction that gives late fifth- and fourth-century Corinthian skyphoi an egg-shaped profile (Talcott 1935, 506; 1936, 341; Boulter 1953, 74; Agora XII, 83; Oakley 1988, 169). The vertical lines above the foot are tightly crammed, as opposed to the rather widely spaced rays on skyphoi from the first half of the fifth century; 31 but they are still more neatly drawn than on some late fifth-century pieces 32 .…”

“…They have features typical of the fifth century: a projecting torus foot with a black outer edge and a reserved underside with small circles and a dot in the centre ( Agora XII, 84–5). Additionally, their lower body shows the gentle concave curve which appears after 480 BC, but not the pronounced S-shaped profile of late fifth- and fourth-century Attic skyphoi (Talcott 1936, 341; Agora XII, 84; Rotroff and Oakley 1992, 15). Since this double curve is not yet as prominent as on examples from 425–400 BC, 33 the two pieces from Knossos can be assigned to the third quarter of the fifth century, with Suppl.…”

In relation to previous periods, Archaic and Classical Crete presents a contraction in the material record and the evidence for overseas connections. This phenomenon has attracted wide-ranging attention in the scholarship, much of which focuses upon the major Cretan city of Knossos. The present article reviews the evidence from Knossos which suggests a decline in overseas connections and revisits the problem in the light of Archaic and Classical pottery from abroad found at the settlement site of the ‘Unexplored Mansion’. On the basis of these finds, I argue that the impression of decline has been exaggerated, and has been partly shaped by methodological problems in the study of ceramics.

The Practice of Ostracism at Athens

I have long been tempted by the vast haul of ostraka from the Kerameikos excavations of 1966-8 to review afresh the whole history of ostracism at Athens. Though they have still been only summarily published, enough is now known to make the enterprise worthwhile. I leave aside the question whether Kleisthenes introduced the institution as part of his legislative programme, possibly in a form that involved only his new Council and not the people as a whole. This intriguing topic does not affect the history of ostracism as we know it. Scholars agree that the first victim was Hipparchos Charmou in 487 B.C., but the Kerameikos ostraka tell us nothing of this occasion. Nor do they help with the ostracisms of Xanthippos and Aristeides and, since nothing can really be done with the Agora ostraka here, I shall omit these also from my survey. But the ostracism of Megakles has been brilliantly illuminated.

Reasonable doubts exist with regard to the conclusions that have been drawn from the ostraca found in the Athenian Agora as well as those from the fill of the Rectangular Rock-cut shaft on the Agora Hill. These doubts extend to the dating of the buildings along the west side of the Agora. A re-examination of the published accounts leads to the conclusion that Buildings C and D, the Temple of Apollo and the shrine of Zeus were built before 480 and were destroyed by the Persians, who were also responsible for digging the Rectangular Rock-cut Shaft. Building F was erected soon after 479. By 450, the Heliaia, the Tholos, the Old Bouleuterion, a Public Records Office and the Royal Stoa were constructed. The public buildings in question all seem to have been built as a consequence of the political reforms brought about by Ephialtes in the late 460s. They are probably the few extant physical remains of the early days of Periclean democracy.
