Excerpt: Battle of Mantinea Epaminondas (Greek: ) (ca. 410 BC 362 BC) or Epameinondas was a Theban general and statesman of the 4th century BC who transformed the Ancient Greek city-state of Thebes, leading it out of Spartan subjugation into a preeminent position in Greek politics. In the process he broke Spartan military power with his victory at Leuctra and liberated the Messenian helots, a group of Peloponnesian Greeks who had been enslaved under Spartan rule for some 230 years, having been defeated in the Messenian War ending in 600 BCE. Epaminondas reshaped the political map of Greece, fragmented old alliances, created new ones, and supervised the construction of entire cities. He was militarily influential as well, inventing and implementing several major battlefield tactics. The Roman orator Cicero called him "the first man of Greece", but Epaminondas has fallen into relative obscurity in modern times. The changes Epaminondas wrought on the Greek political order did not long outlive him, as the cycle of shifting hegemonies and alliances continued unabated. A mere twenty-seven years after his death, a recalcitrant Thebes was obliterated by Alexander the Great. Thus Epaminondaswho had been praised in his time as an idealist and liberatoris todaylargely remembered for a decade (371 BC to 362 BC) of campaigning that sapped the strength of the great land powers of Greece and paved the way for the Macedonian conquest. The life of Epaminondas is very poorly attested in the ancient sources, especially compared to some of his near contemporaries (e.g. Philip II of Macedon, Pelopidas).

Chr. in Sinope; † 328/323 v. Chr. in Korinth) lebte in Athen und war Schüler des Antisthenes (und dieser wiederum ein Schüler des Sokrates). Diogenes ging von Sinope nach Athen, nachdem sein Vater, ein Bankier, der Falschmünzerei angeklagt worden war, und drängte Antisthenes, ihn als Zuhörer zu akzeptieren Er gilt als Verächter der Kultur und wirkte in seiner Philosophie mehr durch den praktischen Vollzug als durch Lehren. Völlige Unabhängigkeit des Menschen von der Außenwelt und allen konventionellen Verhältnissen war ihm Bedingung der wahren Tugend. Von den über ihn überlieferten Anekdoten ist am bekanntesten die von „Diogenes in der Tonne". Dabei handelt es sich vermutlich um einen Übersetzungsfehler eines von Seneca geprägten Ausspruches, dass ein Mann mit derart geringen Ansprüchen ebenso gut in einem Pithos, einer „Tonne", leben könne. Wirklich in einer Tonne gelebt hat Diogenes wohl nie. Diogenes...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=1227 ... Read more
