Griechenland

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Europa, Note: 2,0, Universität zu Köln (Historisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Demosthenes, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 324 v. Chr. floh Harpalos, der makedonische Verwalter der Kriegskasse Alexanders des Großen von Babylon, mit einer ungeheuren Menge veruntreuter Geldmittel und einer riesigen Flotte zusammen mit seinen Söldnern nach Attika, um in Athen Schutz vor dem Makedonenkönig zu suchen. Obwohl Harpalos das athenische Bürgerrecht besaß, verweigerten ihm die Athener, auf Antrag des Demosthenes, die Aufnahme in die Stadt, da sie die Rache Alexanders fürchteten. Bevor Demosthenes von den diplomatischen Verhandlungen in Olympia mit Nikanor, in Stellvertretung für Alexander, aufbrach, wurde Harpalos auf Antrag des Demosthenes doch in die Stadt aufgenommen, jedoch in Haft gesteckt. Sein Vermögen wurde auf der Akropolis deponiert. Nach kurzer Zeit wurde diesem aber die Flucht aus der Haft ermöglicht und man stellte fest, dass ein Großteil der Schätze fehlte. Da es sich um einen der größten politischen Korruptionsskandale der Antike handelte, gilt es mit dieser Arbeit zu klären, welche Motive neben den finanziellen Beweggründen Demosthenes dazu bewegten, sich für Harpalos einzusetzen, obwohl er wusste, dass eine Aufnahme in die Stadt Athen eine Provokation Alexanders mit sich bringen würde. Verfolgte Demosthenes im Zuge der Harpalos-Affäre vielleicht höhere Ziele?In der bisherigen Forschung wurde in der Vergangenheit immer der Frage nachgegangen, ob Demosthenes sich der Korruption schuldig gemacht hat oder nicht. Jedoch geht man in der neueren Forschung vielmehr auf den Wandel der Außenpolitik Athens nach Chaironeia und die politische Kompromissfindung seitens Athen ein. Wolfgang Will gibt hier eine umfassende Analyse der Verhältnisse nach 338 v. Chr.. Zudem wurde seit dem 19. Jhd. Demosthenes als zentrale Person des 4. Jhd. v. Chr. gesehen, doch mit Beginn der 1990 Jahre trat die Person Alexander des Großen in den Blickpunkt der Forschung. Im Zuge der Beschäftigung mit dem Makedonenkönig trat auch das Interesse an der hellenischen Geschichte nach der Schlacht von Chaironeia 338 v. Chr. zurück in den Fokus der Historiker und wurde in Verbindung mit dem Verbanntendekret Alexanders und die Auswirkungen des Persienfeldzuges gesetzt. Diesem Forschungsansatz wird auch in der folgenden Hausarbeit nachgegangen In der Forschungsdebatte um die Harpalos Affäre geht es meistens um die Datierung und die Chronologie.

In der Erinnerungskultur Griechenlands hat die Rolle des Holocaust viele Facetten: Die Erinnerung an die Ermordung der griechischen Juden wurde infolge des Bürgerkriegs den Legitimationsbedürfnissen von Kommunisten und Kirche unterworfen, nach dem Ende der Militärdiktatur diente sie dem gesellschaftlichen Versöhnungsbedürfnis und bis heute ist sie von mythischen Widerstands- und Rettungsaktionen geprägt. Weit über Griechenland hinausgehend wirft Dimitrios Eleftherakis neues Licht auf die europäische Holocaust-Erinnerungskultur insgesamt.

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Hellenistic World, then keep reading...Two captivating manuscripts in one book:The Hellenistic Age: A Captivating Guide to an Era of Mediterranean History That Took Place Between the Death of Alexander the Great and the Rise of the Roman EmpireAlexander the Great: A Captivating Guide to the King Who Conquered the Persian Empire and Babylon, Including His Impact on Ancient Greece and RomeThe alienation of the people from the government and society itself can be seen as a result of the Hellenistic transformation. It can also be seen within the art of the period. Scholars, artists, and philosophers began rejecting the collective ideals, and instead, they focused on the cult of the individual. Sculptures were no longer that of gods and ideals but of individuals, and philosophers cultivated the ideas of individual happiness and pleasure.Religious cults, such as the cult of Isis, formed around the same concepts, claiming to offer the secret of immortality and prosperity to those who sought it for themselves.The Hellenistic age brought a great deal of change in the ancient world. However, the era was destined to end in 31 BCE with the Battle of Actium. Octavian's Roman forces defeated Mark Antony's and Cleopatra's Ptolemaic fleet, thus securing the rise of the Roman Empire.While the Hellenistic age lasted only for a brief period in humanity's rich history, its influence on culture, science, and philosophy has resonated with the world ever since.Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include:The Beginning of a New AgeCassander, Rise of a New KingAntigonusThe Seleucid EmpireCassander of MacedoniaAfter the BattleThe End of an EraA New BeginningEurope after the Chremonidean WarEgypt and the Ptolemaic DynastyAsiaThe First Macedonian WarThe Rise of RomeAntiochus III and RomeRome and Hellenistic EuropeRome in Egypt and AsiaHellenistic Anatolia DefeatedRome in EgyptRome's Path to PowerAnd much, much more!Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include:The early life of Alexander, how he grew up, and what influenced himHow eerily similar ancient politics is to ours in modern timesThe motivations of Alexander and his menThe fascinating private life of such a public individualThe faults and foibles of Alexander that ultimately every individual is plagued withThe makeup of the Macedonian militaryThe makings of a multiethnic empire and the widespreadness of Alexander's ideals and cultureThe many friends and foes of the Macedonian king, complete with their own fascinating storiesThe many legends that sprung up from historical eventsThe issue of succession and the passing of a bygone golden eraThe legacy of a figure both adored and maligned by millionsAnd much more!Scroll up and click the "add to cart" button to learn more about the Hellenistic Age and Alexander the Great!

Andrew Lang FBA (31 March 1844 - 20 July 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him. Lang is now chiefly known for his publications on folklore, mythology, and religion. The interest in folklore was from early life; he read John Ferguson McLennan before coming to Oxford, and then was influenced by E. B. Tylor. The earliest of his publications is Custom and Myth (1884). In Myth, Ritual and Religion (1887) he explained the "irrational" elements of mythology as survivals from more primitive forms.

The Complete Essays of Plutarch includes 133 chapters on nature, Plutarch's Symposiacs, as well as his collection of literary essays. Plutarch was a Platonist, but was open to the influence of the Peripatetics, and in some details even to Stoicism despite his criticism of their principles. He rejected only Epicureanism absolutely. He attached little importance to theoretical questions and doubted the possibility of ever solving them. He was more interested in moral and religious questions.Plutarch's writings had an enormous influence on English and French literature. Shakespeare paraphrased parts of Thomas North's translation of selected Lives in his plays, and occasionally quoted from them verbatim. Plutarch's influence declined in the 19th and 20th centuries, but it remains embedded in the popular ideas of Greek and Roman history. One of his most famous quotes was one that he included in one of his earliest works. "The world of man is best captured through the lives of the men who created history."
