Studies in Ancient Greek Topography
Part VII

Author: W.K. Pritchett

This seventh volume of Prof. Pritchett's studies, correlating topography with ancient texts, seeks to identify the sites and routes in Philip's campaign in northwest Greece in 219 B.C. (Polybios), his march on Thermon in 218 (Polybios), Demosthenes' campaign in Aitolia in 426 (Thucydides), Agesilaos' campaign in Akarnania in 389 (Xenophon), the march of the Romans over Mount Olympos in 169 (Livy), and Lykourgos' raid on the Parnon littoral in 219 (Polybios). He also includes a unique collection of 175 photographs. There follow four supplements, in part inspired by the criticisms of other scholars, on the topography of Thermopylai, of Pausanias' Argos-Sparta road passing through the Battlefield of Champions, and of the Messenian wars which includes a section on Homeric warfare.

Studies in Ancient Greek Topography
Part VIII
Author: W. Kendrick Pritchett
The thrust of the eighth volume of Professor Pritchett's topographical studies is on Demosthenes' Amphilochian campaign in 426 BC, described in the closing chapters of Thucydides Book III, with suggested identifications for the sites of the battles of Olpai and Idomenai. Included is a commentary on the Thucydidean text, dealing with such problems as Thucydidean seasons, Demosthenes' generalship, and the marching time of armies. This study is followed by a survey of sites in northeastern Akarnania, probably the best preserved walls of any province in Greece. The author argues that these were not "open" cities in the late fifth and early fourth centuries, offering comments on the use of siegecraft and scalingladders in Greek warfare. The position of gates in several enceintes prove that the road structure in the mountains of Akarnania was quite different from that of modern roads. The volume concludes with a study of sites east of Thermopylai and in the Parnon range.
