{"title":"DEMOCRACY IN SYRACUSE, 466-412 B.C.*","authors":"Eric W. Robinson","doi":"10.2307/3185215","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/3185215","url":null,"abstract":"nature of the Syracusan constitution in the years between 466 and 412 B.C. Some consider that a democracy existed, while others would deny that title. Even those who accept the ancient testimony for demokratia sometimes assert that the popular government was of a moderate or even aristocratic kind, and was certainly not as radical as the contemporary Athenian variety. In terms of the history of ancient democracy, this issue is an important one to settle. Syracuse is one of the few classical poleis other than Athens both to have a fair amount of narrative extant about its political history and to have been labeled a demokratia. If modern scholars are to understand the phenomenon of ancient democracy beyond the wellknown Athenian example, then it is essential to clarify how places like Syracuse fit into the picture. The present study will examine the case of Syracusan democracy in the second half of the fifth century from two different perspectives. First we will look at the direct constitutional evidence, statements by ancient historians and others that one constitution or other came into being by revolution or legislation. Scholars have naturally looked primarily to this kind of testimony to sort out the issue. The evidence is not unequivocal: while it seems to support the contention that democracy held sway, there are elements which prompt some commentators to question the popular nature of the government. That Syracuse possessed a vigorous demokratia at this time emerges most clearly only * Portions of this paper derive from presentations made at the 1998 APA annual meeting in Washington D.C. and at the conference on Democracy and Tyranny in Ancient Greece held at Northwestern University in April 1999.

The long catalogue of the Persian war dead in the Messenger's speech (Persians 302-330) is similar in form to what is known to epigraphers as the Athenian casualty lists. As a burial honor, the Athenian casualty lists belong to one type of civic discourse about death in war. In the Persians, however, such a list is surprisingly used for the barbarian enemy dead. Although the listing here retains the conventional features of the Athenian casualty list, the framing discourse of tragedy changes the meaning conveyed by the form: instead of a roster designating those celebrated in a special grave, it becomes a disturbing listing of war dead who are not honored and not even buried.","PeriodicalId":81378,"journal":{"name":"Harvard studies in classical philology","volume":"100 1","pages":"83-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/3185210","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69008047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
