II.—Geraki: Historical Note

  • H. J. W. Tillyard and Alan J. B. Wace
Extract

In connection with the inscription from Geraki (No. 11) published above, and the parallel inscription from Mantinea, it seems worth while to discuss two obscure points. (1) The history ot Demetrius the Fair, the father of Antigonus Doson. (2) The worship of the earlier Diadochi.

page 112 note 5 Compare also Polybius iv. 34–36, and especially ix. 36 § 3, where in Lyciscus' speech to the Spartans on behalf of Macedonia (B.C. 107) the following words occur:—(᾿Αντίγονος) ἐ κβαλὼν τὸν τύραννον, καὶ τοὺς νόμους καὶ τὸ πάτριον ὑμῖν ἀποκατέστησε πολίτευμα, ἀνθ᾿ ὦν ὑμεῖς ἐν ταῖς κοιναῖς πανηγύρισι μάρτυρας ποιησάμενηι τοὺς ῾´Ελληνας εὐεργέτην ἑαυτῶν καὶ σωτῆρα τὸν1 ᾿Αντιγονον ἀνεκηρύξατε

page 118 note 2 Beloch, op. cit. p. 92, suggests that the marriage of Phila with Antigonus Gonatas having taken place at the close of the war between him and Antiochus I., Demetrius was born about 276. Consequently he would have been about 18 in 258.

page 118 note 5 It is worth remarking the frequency of the revolts of Cyrene against Ptolemaic rule. Besides those mentioned we know of two others (Polybius, x. 22. 2; Plutarch, Philopoemen 1, Aratus 5; and Polyaenus, viii. 70); further during the reign of Philometor it was independent under Euergetes II., and later from 117–96 it was ruled by Ptolemy Apion quite independent of Egypt.

page 121 note 5 Schreiber, Stud. ii. Bild. Alexanders, p. 251; he takes it as the inscription of an altar set up by Ptolemy II. and Arsinoe to the Θεοὶ Σωτῆρες the Greek will hardly bear this translation. The use of βασιλέως may imply that Ptolemy was still alive.

page 122 note 6 Syr. 65; Dittenberger dates the Bargylia inscription (Syll. 2 i. 216) to Antiochus' lifetime merely because of this passage of Appian. The king's name is restored, and of the Soter the first half is wanting.

The dead kings are simply called Σελεύκου Νικάτορος, Σελεύκου Καλλινίκου and so on, while the living king Antiochus III. and his son have the title Βασιλεύς
