| | |  468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Anzio - Roman eraCalled Antium in ancient times, it was the capital of the Volsci people until it was conquered by the Romans in the year 468 BC. The legends as to its foundation, and the accounts of its early relations with Rome, are untrustworthy; but Livy's account of wars between Antium and Rome, early in the 4th century BC, may perhaps be accepted. Antium is named with Ardea, Laurentum and Circeii, as under Roman protection, in the treaty with Carthage in 348 BC. The patrician Coriolanus was exiled to Antium (where Shakespeare sets several scenes ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek theatre - History
Ancient Greek theatre - Origins.
Early tradition holds that formal theatre in Athens evolved from festivals related to the cult of Dionysus, the Greek god of fertility and wine. This tradition is probably accurate, since Athenian drama occurred at the Dionysia, an annual festival honoring Dionysus. However, it is impossible to know for sure how fertility rituals developed into tragedy and comedy.
Aristotle's Poetics contain the earliest known theory about the origins of Greek theatre. He says that t ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Mycenae - Literature and History The memory of the power of Mycenae lingered in the minds of the Greeks through the subsequent centuries, commonly known as the Dark Age. The epic poems attributed by the later Greeks to Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey, preserve memories of the Myceanean period. Homer's poems make Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, the leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War.
References to Mycenae and persons associated with it span nearly all of Greek literature, which is good evidence of an inherited tradition. Modern schools of thought consider these legendary persons as to some degree historical. Future documentary evidence ...

Dionysia - Origins.
The City Dionysia (Dionysia ta en Astei, also known as the Great Dionysia, Dionysia ta Megala) was the urban part of the festival, possibly established during the tyranny of Pisistratus in the 6th century BC. This festival was held about three months after the rural Dionysia, during the month of Elaphebolion (corresponding to the end of March and the beginning of April), probably to celebrate the end of winter and the arrival of the new growing season. According to tradition the ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Lycia - History According to Herodotus, Lycia was named after Lycus, the son of Pandion, king of Athens. The region was never unified into a single territory in antiquity, but remained a tightly-knit confederation of fiercely independent city-states. Ancient Egyptian records describe the Lycians as allies of the Hittites, and Lycia was frequently mentioned by Homer as an ally of Troy. In Homer's Iliad, the Lycian contingent was said to have been lead by two esteemed warriors: Sarpedon (son of Zeus and Laodamia) and Glaucus (son of Hippolochus). Elsewhere in ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Acropolis Athens - The Periclean building program Most of the major temples were rebuilt under the leadership of Pericles during the Golden Age of Athens (460–430 BC). Phidias, a great Athenian sculptor, and Ictinus and Callicrates, two famous architects, were responsible for the reconstruction.
During the 5th century BC, the acropolis gained its final shape. After winning at Eurymedon in 468 BC, Cimon and Themistocles ordered the reconstruction of southern and northern walls, and Pericles entrusted the building of the Parthenon to Ictinus and Phidias. In 437 BC Mnesicles started b ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek literature - Classical and Pre-Classical Antiquity This period of Greek literature stretches the oldest surviving written works in the Greek language until the 4th century and the rise of Alexander the Great. Alfred North Whitehead once claimed that all of philosophy is but a footnote to Plato. To suggest that all of Western literature is no more than a footnote to the writings of ancient Greece is an exaggeration, but it is nevertheless true that the Greek world of thought was so far-ranging that there is scarcely an idea discussed today not already debated by the anc ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek literature - Hellenistic Age By 338 BC all of the Greek city-states except Sparta had been conquered by Philip II of Macedon. Philip's son Alexander the Great extended his father's conquests greatly. In so doing he inaugurated what is called the Hellenistic Ages. Alexander's conquests were in the East, and Greek culture shifted first in that direction. Athens lost its preeminent status as the leader of Greek culture, and it was replaced temporarily by Alexandria, Egypt. After the rise of Rome, all the Mediterranean area was brought within one far-flung empire. Greek civ ...

| | | | 468 BC: Encyclopedia II - Dionysia - Significance Dionysus was often seen as the god of everything uncivilized, of the innate wildness of humanity that the Athenians had tried to control. The Dionysia was probably a time to let out their inhibitions through highly emotional tragedies or irreverent comedies. During the pompe there was also an element of role-reversal - lower-class citizens could mock and jeer the upper classes, or women could insult their male relatives. This was known as aischrologia or tothasmos, a concep ...
