Als Geschenk des Poseidon galt jedoch eine Salzquelle, die man auf der Akropolis zeigte (vgl. Hdt. 8,55) und im Westgiebel des Parthenon abbildete. An anderer Stelle (S. 72) werden die beiden Aiakes der Ilias fälschlich als Brüder bezeichnet. Die Quellen-und Literaturbelege sind mangelhaft. Es wird zumeist nicht auf Primärquellen, sondern nur auf vereinzelte Sekundärliteratur verwiesen, wobei oft nur das Erscheinungsjahr der entsprechenden Werke genannt wird, nicht aber die relevanten Seitenzahlen. So sieht sich der interessierte Leser gezwungen, in mühsamer Kleinarbeit selbst in Erfahrung zu bringen, woher die Autoren ihre Informationen beziehen. Als weitere Kritikpunkte ließen sich einerseits noch das holprige, vage und phasenweise kryptische Englisch anführen, welches das Lesen ungemein erschwert, andererseits die konfuse Struktur des Buches. Es verfolgt keinen geraden Kurs mit aufeinander aufbauender Argumentationsführung, sondern mäandriert zwischen den unterschiedlichsten Themen (Indoeuropäer, Homer, griechische Tragödie, Kleisthenes und die attische Demokratie, Platon, Artus-Sage usw.), ohne Tiefgang, Verknüpfung oder Rückbezug zur Hauptthematik. Das Resultat ist eine lose Aneinanderreihung oberflächlich angeschnittener und achtlos behandelter Themenbereiche.

In Greek history, it toppled the traditional view that the various ethnos states of the Classical and Hellenistic periods drew on a remote pedigree of tribal togetherness. Instead, it appears that those leagues were built on essentially changing, flexible, and relatively late constructions of regional identities that took shape most often only in the Archaic period. The implications are far-reaching. They impact the conception of an ethnos' political organization; and they spill over into the study of external relations. It has been posited that in their conduct of foreign policy, ethne often resorted to a federal program. Did ethne emulate each other, and did they inspire others to adopt a federal organization? More recently, it was argued that their foreign policy was charged with ethnicized attitudes. Did the idea of ethnic togetherness generally influence foreign policy? And, did everyone subscribe to the same blueprint of ethnicized arguments? The contributions to this volume explore the lived and often contradictory experience between tribal belonging and political integration.

If the curve (P (x, y) = k) is irreducible and admits an infinite number of points whose coordinates are integers then there exist algebraic automorphisms that send P (x, y) to the polynomial x or to x 2 − dy 2 , d ∈ N. Moreover for such curves (and others) we give a sharp bound for the number of integral points (x, y) with x and y bounded.

First, the function and significance of the "Spurii filiation", i.e. the addition of "Spurii filius (sp. f.) = Σπο(υ)ρίου υίός" in names of children produced from an iniustum matrimonium is examined on the basis of an inscription from Lesbos (IG XII 2.382-383) and other documents. The second note concerns the use of certain abbreviation forms for the usual filiation with the father's praenomen in Roman names as they appear in Greek inscriptions from Lesbos. Finally, the possible connection of Roman names including both the praenomen Marcus and the gentilicium Aurelius (Marci Aurelii) not only with grants of citizenship under Marcus Aurelius and Commodus but also with the Constitutio Antoniniana is reasserted against some recent views (cf. SEG 39 [ 1989] 1858) and supported with further evidence from Greek documents.
