#Themistokles

[worldhistoryfacts]

Ostraka (pottery fragments) found in the Agora (marketplace) of Athens. In Athens, citizens could expel a politician who posed a threat to their democratic system for 10 years. They voted by inscribing the name of the person they wanted to expel on scraps of pottery.

These fragments are all votes to exile Themistokles, the man who led Athens to victory in the Persian Wars, but who was later accused of corruption. Historians have noticed that the penmanship on many of these ostraka is quite similar, meaning that political factions may have handed out ostraka with names already filled in, sort of like a pre-filled ballot.

Trick or treat!!

trick! plutarch, kimon 11-12.4

[11.1] The allies continued paying tribute but failed to provide men and ships according to their assessment, and were already refusing to go on campaign and did not man ships or send men, on the grounds that there was no need for warfare and that they wanted to live quietly and farm, since the barbarians had been removed and were not causing trouble. The other Athenian Generals applied compulsion to make them do this, put those who failed on trial and by their punishments made Athenian rule grievous and hard to bear. [11.2] But when Kimon was General he went in the opposite direction, and did not apply force to any Greek; he accepted money from those who were not willing to campaign, and empty ships, and he let them be enticed by leisure and spend their time on their own affairs, turning themselves from warriors into money-makers and farmers not fit for war through luxury and folly. He put many Athenians on the ships in turn and made them labour on the campaigns, and in a short time used the money and pay from the allies to make the Athenians masters of those who paid. [11.3] As a result of their own shyness of warfare, the allies became accustomed to fearing and flattering the men who were maintained and trained, and were always sailing and handling arms; they failed to realise that they were turning themselves into subjects and slaves.

[121] No one did more to humble the Great King and abase his pride than Kimon. He did not let him go when he departed from Greece, but following hard on the Persians' heels and not letting them pause for breath, as it were, he ravaged and destroyed some of their territories and made others revolt and come over to the Greeks, so that he completely cleared Asia of Persian arms from Ionia to Pamphylia. [12.2] When he learned that the King's generals were lying in wait in Pamphylia with a large army and many ships, he set out from Knidos and the Triopion peninsula with 300 ships, with the intention of inducing such fear as to make the sea this side of the Khelidonian islands an area they would not sail into or trespass upon. These ships had been made by Themistokles to be very swift and manoeuvrable, and on that occasion Kimon made them broader, and gave them a gangway on the decks so that they would carry large numbers of hoplites and so be more effective at fighting the enemy. [12.3] He sailed to the city of Phaselis, whose inhabitants were Greek, but they did not receive the fleet or wish to revolt from the King, and so he began to ravage their territory and attack their walls. [12.4] The Khians, who were part of his fleet, and had long enjoyed friendly relations with Phaselis, induced Kimon to be more gentle and shot pamphlets attached to arrows over the walls with messages for the people of Phaselis. In the end this brought reconciliation on condition that Phaselis pay ten talents, join the League, and take part in the campaign against Persia.

(tries to sound chipper) Let's order some cherry-flavored off-brand gelatin, and then I think we'll be up for a rousing game of— XANDER: I might need a parrot. WILLOW: Huh? XANDER: Well, to go with the eye patch, to really complete the look. I think I still have that costume from Halloween. WILLOW: Yeah, and don't underestimate the impact of a peg leg. Maybe the hospital can hook you up with a nice one. Maybe they have a 2-body-parts for the price of one kind of deal. XANDER: Oh, you know what the best part is? No one will ever make me watch jaws 3-D again. WILLOW: Yeah, and, (tries to smile) you'll never have to...

What are some historical events or figures you’d like to see comics about in Hetalia? It can be from your country or others! Personally I want a comic arc about Ancient Greece and Pontus, it’s about time they got time to shine like the other ancients have!

I also would like to see comics about Ancient Greece and Pontus(please Himaruya give us wholesome family moments between Ancient Greece and her children Greece and Cyprus). Also historical figures like Perikles, Leonidas, Themistokles, Alexander the Great , Plato, Sokrates, Aristotle , Hippocrates, Miltiadis , Kimon, Olympias, Aspasia, Phillip the 2nd (father of Alexander the Great), Hephaistion and many other Ancient Greek Historical Figures would be nice to see them in Hetalia and as a Greek that would bring a smile on my face. I would also be so excited to see strips about the Greek War of Independence.

fragments from a broken vessel

by zerodignity

In lieu of a family album, they have this. The footage held in the archives of the Golden Demarchy, a public record of the empire’s fall, of House Pelagios’s slow dissolution.

Their own smallness in the image takes them by surprise. The round face and wide eyes, mouth downturned in a young child's approximation of solemnity. Then Sokrates, strangely fragile in their adolescent awkwardness, and finally Euanthe, straight-backed and striking, stepping forward to dutifully accept the heir’s sash from the Apokine as the crowd applauds.

Children, Cass thought, as though confirming something they had merely suspected before now. Only children.

Some excerpts from thirty years of rivalry, bonding, and eventual reconciliation among the three siblings of House Pelagios.

Collaborative sculptural installation work work with Ste Asemi, as part of the Athens BIENNALE [SEP 2013].

Me, Ste, and many other artists were invited by artist duo FYTA to participate in a hybrid space hosting what was described as 'a 7–day Situationist burlesque'. The hosting building was the impressive old stock market in Themistokleous Street, downtown Athens.

We created three moving 'stations' made from found material, each one with a distinct atmosphere. They could be seen as sculptures, film sets, or poems. We frantically tried to include as many parts of our experience of being alive in Athens at that particular moment as we could.

On the last day, we took apart our works under the musical performance by Alexandros Drossos of Canto Ostinato, the epic work of Simeon ten Holt, a work that creates a constantly shifting environment.

Disassembling the structures stoically, following the music, and making the audience interact with the variety of objects they were made from, we hoped to share our fragmented experience of living in this place at this time, seeking meaning pleasure, and connection within a system that fosters dissociation consumerism and distraction.
