You can if you like Messalina- more particularly with the ones I set while you are on study leave- then I will be asking you to fill in details on practice essays, so you might insert a topic sentnece and someone else might fill details, another students might add support quotes etc.
The most important thing for Agrippina now is to build up your quote bank. I would like you to help each other with this, based on your quote bank created for the assessment.
So below you will find a space for each dot point and I would like you in no more than 10 words per quote add to the quote bank. The shorter the better- don't forget to cite the source (check out the quote bank below for details.
To add to the bank simply click on the reply button below the post and add your quick quote.
"She was completely immoral; yet she was by no means prodigal of her favours..."
"She only slept with men who could be useful to her politically"
- Robert Graves, this bloke wrote the 'autobiography of Claudius' "I, Claudius" however he only used accounts of Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, Plutarch and especially Suetonius, we all know what a gossip he is...
"Pallas espoused the cause of Agrippina, the Emporer's niece" -J.B Bury
"Thereupon the command was transferred to Burrus, distinguished soldier, fully aware whose initiative (Agrippina's) was behing the appointment" -Tacitus
"Agrippina was training her son for the throne and was entusting his education to Seneca" -Cassius Dio
"The line were mow clearly drawn between Agrippina and the freedman (Narcissus)" -Anthony Barrett
"Pallas, proposing Agrippina, emphasised that the son who she would bring with her was germanicus' grandson..." -Tacitus
“...they (Caligula’s sisters) were to be included in the vow of allegiance to the Emperor... ‘nor shall I consider myself or my children more precious than I do Gaius and his sisters’.” Anthony Barret. (first mentioned by Suetonius)
“He (Caligula) deported his sisters... because of their relations with Lepidus, having first accused them... of many impious and immoral actions...” - Cassius Dio
"Agrippina was in control, not in any capricious way, as Messalina had been..."
This next quote is from the same passage but u can probs break it up and use separately... "quasi virile servitium - in an almost male tyranny" -Tacitus
Now remember... it was an insult to give a female any male qualities back in the day
"He (Nero) frequently affirmed that he was haunted by his mother's ghost... attempted by magical rites to bring up her ghost from below, and soften her rage against him.” - Suetonius. (Aside from passing reference to a moment of regret by Tacitus, no other Ancient source mentions Nero as having regretted Agrippina's murder. Therefore, likely to have been fabricated to make an interesting story)
“Agrippina’s childhood and youth would have warped the most sanguine nature” - Miriam Griffin, 1984. (Female historian = more sympathetic interpretation than others of the time)
"Agrippina now meant to rule through her son. She murdered or drove to suicide potential foes... Her power was advertised on the coinage... Nero's name and titles were banished to the reverse"
Rules: • Don’t over quote Herodotus!! • Use a balance of ancient/modern and archaeological sources • Don’t just quote sources. • Try to include 5-8 in your essay.
Persians Wars ‘The Persians wanted to occupy all Greece...’ (Dandamaev)
490BC Marathon
‘The Athenians on one wing and the Plataeans on the other were victorious’ – Herodotus.
‘They were the first Greeks to charge at a run...’ Herodotus
‘The Persians had perfected the bow’ – Kontorlis
2 burial mounds and discoveries e.g helmet are archaeological sources
‘If we do not attack, I expect some great conflict will arise among the Athenians....’ Miltiades (quoted in Herodotus)
‘The chief cause of their discomfort was their lack of armour’ – Herodotus
‘...the horsemen are away...’ – The Suda (Persian source)
Ehrenberg also states that the horses may have been sent to graze too far away from the battlefield.
HELP!!!! sparta is being annoying to me....if anyone has stuff on the economy and cultural life if you could put it up it would be highly appreciated! yeah jackie think i have some for Persian wars i think
"sire remember the athenians" - darius Herodotus "the Athenians...charged the barbarians at a run" (Herodotus) during the battle of marathon, it was miltiades idea. "this combat was scarcly ended when the Persians from behind approached" during the battle of thermopylae - HERODOTUS about Themistocles "a man who showed unmistakable genius" thucydides
Alice i'll look through some more stuff tomorrow but here is just a couple of stuff for economic:
"To drive out arrogance, envy, wrongdoing and luxury... wealth and poverty pool the whole country and divide it up afresh" - Plutarch
"To live with each other as equals" - Plutarch
The two above is talking about the kleroi which is apart of the economy
also i dont know if this comes into it or not but anyways:
"They were the proprty not of themselves but of the state" - Plutarch
"Forbidden to practice any manual trade at all" - Plutarch
Obviously talking about the homoioi and their roles in society ill try to find some more, this is one of the dot points i also had trouble finding sources...
thankyou sooooo much!!!!! but like i am struggling heaps with sparta! what is the homoioi???? :/ i know thats bad i don't know! but those quotes help heaps thanks :)
ok miss i'm flippin out! i'm doing a practice q and i have no idea what i would say this is the q "outline the main features of the syssitia" ??????? they are citizens aren't they?? and went through the agoge?
the syssitia was the mess hall where all the Spartiates would eat their meals together... the Spartiates were the male citizens of 30 who went through the Agoge... acception into a syssition meant that they individual was a citizen of Sparta, if they didnt get accepted into any of the syssitia, they then became a part of a group in the inferior status (i think)...
Of course you could add that all members of the syssitia were required to contribute food and funds to the upkeep of the mess, and to do that they required the Kleros and the helots to do the work on it.
What was the great Rhetra? The great Rhetra was a form of government and law supposedly received by Lycurgus from the Delphic oracle. It consisted of the duel kingship the Agid and the Euryponted, the Gerousia 28 men and the kings, and the Ecclesia or the ‘peoples’ assembly.
Tyrtaeus tells us that Lykurgus (in obedience to Apollo) brought the laws home from the Delphic oracle- though it may be that he took them there in the first place. In addition to the duel kingship, ekklesia and gerousia it also demanded the establishment of a sanctuary to Zeus and organised the community into social units called phylai and obai.
But the information you gave would be enough for a two mark- this question can come as a three or five also- so would need to discuss credibility of Lykurgus man or myth aspect.
ok so i need help with each of the Persian Wars... who are the leaders for both Belligerants for Ionian Revolt, Marathon, Thermopylae, Artemisium, Salamis, Plataea and Mycale??? Please, Please, Please, i go onto various sources and they give me different peoples or no people at all??!!!
Thermopylae- Leonidas (SPartan) Demophilus (Thespian)Versus Mardonius (Xerxes BIL) and Hydarnes (who commanded the immortals) and of course the watcher on the hill Xerxes himself
COme on people... you are not going to make me do all of this- WHo was involved at Atermisium, Salamis and Plataea

the syssitia was the mess hall where all the Spartiates would eat their meals together... the Spartiates were the male citizens of 30 who went through the Agoge... acception into a syssition meant that they individual was a citizen of Sparta, if they didnt get accepted into any of the syssitia, they then became a part of a group in the inferior status (i think)...
Deletecorrect me if i am wrong... i just went off the top of my head
DeleteYou are correct Jackie, well answered
DeleteOf course you could add that all members of the syssitia were required to contribute food and funds to the upkeep of the mess, and to do that they required the Kleros and the helots to do the work on it.
DeleteWhat was the great Rhetra?
ReplyDeleteThe great Rhetra was a form of government and law supposedly received by Lycurgus from the Delphic oracle. It consisted of the duel kingship the Agid and the Euryponted, the Gerousia 28 men and the kings, and the Ecclesia or the ‘peoples’ assembly.
IS THIS ENOUGH FOR A 2 MARK QUESTION?
Tyrtaeus tells us that Lykurgus (in obedience to Apollo) brought the laws home from the Delphic oracle- though it may be that he took them there in the first place.
DeleteIn addition to the duel kingship, ekklesia and gerousia it also demanded the establishment of a sanctuary to Zeus and organised the community into social units called phylai and obai.
thankyou!!
DeleteBut the information you gave would be enough for a two mark- this question can come as a three or five also- so would need to discuss credibility of Lykurgus man or myth aspect.
Deleteok so i need help with each of the Persian Wars... who are the leaders for both Belligerants for Ionian Revolt, Marathon, Thermopylae, Artemisium, Salamis, Plataea and Mycale??? Please, Please, Please, i go onto various sources and they give me different peoples or no people at all??!!!
ReplyDeleteIonian Revolt- Aristagorus of Miletus asked for help from The Spartans then settled on the Athenians and Eretrians to help him against the Persians...
ReplyDeleteMarathon- Miltiades and Calimarchus (for the Athenians) Versus Datis and Artaphernes on the Persian Side (fighting for King Darius)
Thermopylae- Leonidas (SPartan) Demophilus (Thespian)Versus Mardonius (Xerxes BIL) and Hydarnes (who commanded the immortals) and of course the watcher on the hill Xerxes himself
