Theognis and the Ambivalence of Aristocracy
The article focuses on the vexed methodological problem of how to establish a relationship between the historical tradition of Megara on the one hand and the content of the Theognidea on the other. The uncertainties concerning the authorâs identity, place of birth, and date notwithstanding, the poems permit a cursory glimpse of a polis community which was characterized by a fierce competition for wealth, social recognition, and sheer power
Ptolis et agorĂš. HomĂšre et lâarchĂ©ologie de la citĂ©âĂtat
Dans les Ă©popĂ©es homĂ©riques, les poleis sont omniprĂ©sentes. Cependant, la ptolis homĂ©rique nâest pas encore conceptualisĂ©e comme une association de citoyens, mais plutĂŽt comme un espace qui est dĂ©limitĂ© et protĂ©gĂ© (par des murs, par exemple) de lâextĂ©rieur et qui a un ordre spatial Ă lâintĂ©rieur qui se concentre sur lâagora comme espace central. Ce terme a dĂ©jĂ le sens dâ« assemblĂ©e », qui ne peut pas encore prendre de dĂ©cisions contraignantes mais est dĂ©jĂ soumise Ă des normes rudimentaires â on peut donc voir ici une premiĂšre Ă©tape dâinstitutionnalisation dâun organe central de la polis archaĂŻque dĂ©veloppĂ©e.In Homeric epics, the poleis are omnipresent. However, the Homeric ptolis is not yet conceptualized as an association of citizens, but rather as a space which is delimited and protected (by walls, for example) from the outside and which has a spatial order inside which focuses on the agora as a central space. This term already has the meaning of âassemblyâ, which cannot yet take binding decisions but is already subject to rudimentary standardsâwe can therefore see here a first stage of institutionalization of a central organ of the archaic polis
