A History of Greek Economic Thought
Trever, Albert Augustus
Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
_Ion_ 854; ἐν γάρ τι τοῦς δούλοισιν αἰσχύνην φέρει || τὀύνομα; frs.
828 (Phrixus), 515 (Melanippe) (Nauck); _Helena_ 730; cf. Decharme,
Euripide et l’esprit de son théâtre, pp. 162 ff.
Footnote 55:
His finest portrayals are noble women. He was no woman-hater, but
freely presented both sides of female character. Cf. _Medea_ 230 ff.
and other such passages complaining of woman’s lot; fr. 655
(_Protes._), advocating community of wives. Cf., however, Decharme,
_op. cit._, 133 ff.
Footnote 56:
Cf. Nauck, frs. 642 (Polyidus), 55, 56 (Alex.), 95 (Alcmene), 143
(Andromeda), 326 and 328 (Danae); cf. Decharme, _op. cit._, pp. 163
ff. and notes; Dobbs, _op. cit._, p. 78, n. 5.
Footnote 57:
_Op. cit._, p. 7: “Ich auch in volkswirtschaftlicher Beziehung von
keinen Neuern mehr als von ihm gelernt habe.” Cf. Kautz, _op. cit._,
pp. 123 ff.
Footnote 58:
Thuc. ii. 40. 1; i. 70. 8; ii. 40. 2; etc.
Footnote 59:
Thuc. i. 2.
Footnote 60:
_Thucydides Mythhistoricus_ (1907); cf. Shorey’s critical review,
_Dial_, July-December, 1907, pp. 202 ff.; also W. Lamb, _Clio
Enthroned_ (1914), especially pp. 34-67. Lamb’s citations of
Thucydides (pp. 35 f.), present sufficient evidence of the Greek
historian’s economic insight.
Footnote 61:
_Op. cit._, pp. 18 f.
Footnote 62:
“Die wirtschaftliche Entwickelung des Alterthums,” _Kleine Schriften_,
1910; cf. also Beloch, _Zeitschr. f. Socialwiss_., II, 21 ff.;
“Griechische Geschichte,” _ibid._; Poehlmann, _Geschichte des antiken
Socialismus und Kommunismus_, I (2d ed., 1912, _Geschichte der
sozialen Frage und des Socialismus in der antiken Welt_). Citations
from Poehlmann throughout the book are to this work unless otherwise
specified. He exaggerates the development of capitalism. Meyer and
Beloch are also somewhat misleading in their use of the modern terms
for Greek conditions. Francotte (_L’Industrie dans la Grèce ancienne_
[1900]) is more conservative. For the older extreme conservative view,
cf. the works of Rodbertus and Bücher. Cf. _infra_ for further notice
of the subject.
Footnote 63:
Haney, _op. cit._, p. 17.
Footnote 64:
For a full discussion of the Greek attitude toward labor, with
citations from ancient and modern authors, cf. _infra_, p. 29, n. 4;
pp. 32 ff., and notes; pp. 47 ff. and notes; pp. 69 f. and notes; pp.
93 ff. and notes.
Footnote 65:
_Pol._ i. 8. 1256_b_2.
Footnote 66:
Haney, _op. cit._, p. 17.
Footnote 67:
Emphasized by Poehlmann, _op. cit._, I, 593 f. Our citations will
always be from the second edition, 1912.
