The aftermath of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC) found
the Greek world in a state of general uneasiness, decimation of
population, and weakening of political institutions. Soon, new
high casualties were caused by the Corinthian War (395–387
BC). The peace imposed in 386 BC, brought autonomy for the
Greek states of the mainland and most of the islands but new
conflicts arose again, first upon the ascendancy of Thebes to
power following the battle at Leuktra (371 BC), and after the
middle of the century under the new rising power of Philip of
Macedonia.
In the paper, the political and socio-economic conditions of
Paros during this period will be described, especially in the first
half of the century when the colony of Pharos was founded in
the Adriatic Sea. Secondly, the new building projects and artistic
production in the city of Paros and other areas of the island will
be presented in connection with Pharos’ foundation and the
possible purposes served by such a colonial enterprise of the
Parians. Finally, possible trade interactions and links among all
three major Parian colonies in the Mediterranean will be considered.Nakon Peloponeskog rata (431. – 404. g. pr. Kr.) grčki se
svijet našao u stanju sveopće uznemirenosti uz desetkovano
pučanstvo i slabljenje političkih institucija. Ubrzo je Korintski
rat (395. – 387. g. pr. Kr.) izazvao novi veliki broj žrtava. Mir
nametnut 386. g. pr. Kr. donio je autonomiju grčkim kopnenim
državama i većini otoka, ali opet su izbili novi sukobi, najprije
slijedom tebanske prevlasti nakon bitke kod Leuktre (371. g.
pr. Kr.), a poslije sredine stoljeća zbog sve većeg jačanja Filipa
Makedonskoga.
U radu su opisani politički i društveno-gospodarski uvjeti
Parosa tijekom navedenog razdoblja, posebno u prvoj polovici
stoljeća, kada je na Jadranu osnovana kolonija Faros. Povrh
toga, predstavljeni su novi građevinski projekti i umjetnička
proizvodnja u gradu Parosu i na drugim područjima otoka u
vezi s osnivanjem Farosa i mogućim nakanama koje su Parani
imali glede takvih kolonija. Na koncu, razmotrene su moguće
trgovinske interakcije i veze svih triju glavnih parskih kolonija
na Mediteranu
