Attica: Encyclopedia - Anakes

Anakes were deities worshipped in Attica and Argos. The word is a title which means lords or kings, for they were the sons of Zeus (and were also known as Dioscuri). Some have associated the Anake(s) cult with worship of the goddess Helen. It is also possible that the name refers to three specific gods, but evidence for this is faint.

Attica: Encyclopedia - Black-figure pottery

The black-figure pottery technique is a style of ancient Greek pottery painting in which the decoration appears as black silhouettes on a red background. Originated in Corinth during the early 7th century BC, it was introduced into Attica about a generation later. The technique flourished until being practically replaced by the more advanced red-figure pottery technique in 530 BC, although later examples do exist. Greek vases were made of a pale iron-rich clay which turned a reddish-orange colour when fired. The design was sket ...

Attica: Encyclopedia - Cecrops I

The name Cecrops means 'face with a tail' and it is said that this mythical Greek king, born from the earth itself, had his top half shaped like a man and the bottom half in serpent or fish-tail form.

Cadmus of Miletus, according to some ancient authorities the oldest of the logographi. Modern scholars, who accept this view, assign him to about 550 BC; others regard him as purely mythical. A confused notice in the Suidas mentions three persons of the name: the first, the inventor of the alphabet; the second, the son of Pandion, according to some the first prose writer, a little later than Orpheus, author of a history of the foundation of Miletus and of Ionia generally, in four books; the third, the son of Archelaus, of later ...

Attica: Encyclopedia - Bendis

Bendis was a Thracian goddess of the hunt whom the Greeks identified with Artemis, and hence with the other two aspects of the former Minoan Triple Goddess, Hecate and Persephone. She was a huntress, like Artemis, but was accompanied by dancing satyrs and maenads on a 5th Century red-figure stemless cup (at Verona). More than Olympian Artemis, Bendis remained a night-goddess, which linked her with Hecate . Her cult was introduced into Attica by immigrant Thracian residents, and became so popular that in Plato's time (ca. 430 BC ...

Attica: Encyclopedia - Attic Greek

Attic Greek is the ancient dialect of Greek that was spoken in Attica, which includes Athens. Of the ancient dialects, it is the most similar to later Greek. It differs from most Greek dialects, including Doric, by frequently changing long ā to ē; from Ionic in not changing all of them. The Homeric dialect was an artificial compound, which resembled Ionic; but it also differed from Attic in losing the augment on the past tenses, and much more frequent use of the dual and other archaic forms. The later Koiné was largel ...

Attica: Encyclopedia - Athenian democracy

The Athenian democracy (sometimes called classical democracy) was the democratic system developed in the Greek city-state of Athens (comprising the physical city of Athens and its surrounding territory Attica). Athens was the very first known democracy, and the most important in ancient times. Other Greek cities set up democracies, most but not all following an Athenian model, but none were as powerful or as stable (or, relatively speaking, as well-documented) as that of Athens. It remains a unique and intriguing experiment in ...

In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in a mountain pass. Though vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the Persian advance in order to buy time for the evacuation of Athens and the preparation of a greater Greek fighting force. Leonidas, the Spartan King commanding the army, held up the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Its loss gave the Persians control as far as the Isthmus of Corinth, and the opportunity to sack Athens. However ...
