Taking this premise as its starting point, this article explores the possible origins of this presentation of Alexander’s proskynesis, an understanding that is articulated most fully in the ‘proskynesis debates’ of Arrian (4.10-12) and Curtius (8.5-6). It is argued that the misrepresentation was a deliberate strategy cultivated in the Peripatos, and that it was designed to deflect opprobrium away from Callisthenes and, by extension, away from the Peripatos itself.","PeriodicalId":44997,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ALTE GESCHICHTE","volume":"29 1","pages":"260-282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81969267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas inscriptions generally do not provide much information on the political processes whose outcome they document, these texts enable us to catch a glimpse of real-life assembly politics. A careful analysis of the assembly scenes reveals an on-going tradition of Greek people politics, that is, a rhetorical exchange between elite and non-elite citizens in the assembly, which shows that the balance of power in the imperial Greek cities was not as heavily tilted against the demos as the current consensus would have it.","PeriodicalId":44997,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ALTE GESCHICHTE","volume":"43 1","pages":"223-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81582821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
