- W575432956 abstract "This thesis will contend that Polybius' stress on Achaean unity wasrelated to his need to contrast how tyche and anacyclosis, the two vitalsupernatural forces that he believed influenced historical events, hadinfluenced the Achaean system of polity detrimentally. Examining therationale behind Aetolian intervention in the Peloponnese during theHellenistic period, it will contend that the Aetolians and their allies in Elis andSparta were engaged in a struggle for control over the Peloponnese againstthe Macedonians and their Arcadian allies, a situation the Romans exploited.During the Second Macedonian War Polybius presents the Achaeanleague and Rome acting as equals; this was related to his desire to show theeventual decline in Greece that allowed the Romans to gain control. In realityFlamininus exploited Megalopolitan fears over Aetolian and Spartan intereststo ensure the Peloponnese remained stable during the Aetolian/Syrian War.Afterwards Polybius took the question of the Spartan exiles, a relativelyunimportant question, and presented its resolution as the decisive turningpoint in the relationship between Rome and the Achaean league, Callicrates'speech in front of the senate marking the onset of the final stage of anacyclosisin Achaean democracy. This process continued in his portrayal of later events;Polybius was detained by the Romans because of his sympathy for Perseusduring the Third Macedonian War; however he blamed Callicrates because atthis point he wished to present the corruption and decline that was occurringin the Achaean league. This process ended with the destruction of Corinth in146BC, where Polybius emphasises the madness and irrationality of theAchaean mob and leadership. This was to provide his readers with theconsolation that their society would emerge renewed and strengthened at atime that the Roman Republic began its eventual decline through theresumption of anacyclosis." @default.
