CLASSIC 10 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Kouros, Lenaia, Political Satire
Document Summary
Two big battles that changed the war: #2 pylos 425. Storm forces athenian fleet to stop near pylos. Established fort; fleet leaves: harass spartan lands, take in runaway helots. Major athenian ally: access to resources. Brasidas besieges amphipolis: amphipolitans seek help ffrom thucydides, brasidas gives easy terms; amaphipolitans surrender, thucydides goes into exile. Much mutual slaughter: cleon and brasidas (hawks) die. Athenians: give back soldiers, promise not to force sparta"s allies into empire. Spartans: give back amphipolis, promise not to interfere with athens allies. Orienting ourselves to the textx: aristophanes" lysistrata. Also the lenaia: for athenians only. And other funny padding: like to make big butts. Like herald and kumar"s scene where bush is smoking weed. Spartans as laconic, pederasts (m), buff (f) Like meet the spartans comedy for 300 . Someone getting tired and creating their own kingdom. Great source for hoe ppl actually talked. But still in meter: even though everyday it is still said in rhythmic pattern.
