Argos through the Argive Lens
A Reappraisal of an Ancient City
Edited by C. Weber-Pallez Edited by E. Vance
Argos was one of the most important cities in ancient Greece – if we follow Isocrates and Strabo. However, it has generally been studied as a secondary participant compared to its more important neighbours like Athens and Sparta. This work places Argos centre-stage and attempts to see the Greek world through Argive eyes. In this volume, top specialists of Argos analyse an array of evidence (including archaeological, epigraphic, and literary, among others) using new methodologies and recent research to grant Argos its full weight. Studies traverse the local, regional, and Mediterranean scales, from the Archaic to the Imperial period, and emphasize Argos’ interactions with different actors, from the small <i>komai</i> (villages) of its territory to the greatest powers of the Mediterranean, such as the Macedonians and Romans, to ensure its hegemony over the northeast Peloponnese. <br /><br />Argos était une des plus importantes cités de la Grèce antique, si l’on en croit Isocrate ou Strabon. Pourtant, elle est toujours étudiée comme une actrice secondaire, au profit de ses grandes voisines d’Athènes ou de Sparte. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de placer Argos au premier plan et d’envisager le monde grec à travers les yeux des Argiens. Les plus grands spécialistes de cette cité reprennent ici l’analyse des sources (archéologiques, épigraphiques, de la tradition manuscrite, etc.) grâce à de nouvelles méthodologies ou présentent le résultat de nouvelles recherches. Ce travail permet de redonner à Argos tout son poids à l’échelle locale, régionale et méditerranéenne, de l’époque archaïque à l’époque impériale, en insistant sur les interactions que la cité a mises en place avec différents acteurs, des petites <i>kômai</i> de son territoire aux peuples dirigeant la Méditerranée (Macédoniens, puis Romains), afin d’assurer son hégémonie sur le nord-est du Péloponnèse.
