In Homer s Odyssey , there is an interesting Geographical description quotation Now there is a rocky islet called Asteris , of no great size, in mid channel between Homer s Ithaca Ithaca and Same, and there is a harbor on either side of it where a ship can lie. Here then the Achaeans the suitors placed themselves in ambush on Telemakhos . ref Homer s Odyssey, http www.perseus.tufts.edu hopper text?doc Perseus 3Atext 3A1999.01.0218 3Abook 3D4 3Acard 3D20 Hom.

  1. Ateleia (ancient Greece)

    about an economic term of ancient Greece other uses Ateleia disambiguation Ateleia Attic Greek privative a telos tax see also philately in ancient Greece was a generally immunity adeia or exemption from some or all the duties which a person has to perform towards the state. Immunities could be granted either as a privilege to the citizens of a state, exempting them from certain duties which would otherwise be incumbent on them, or they are given as honorary distinctions to foreign kings, states, communities or even private individuals. With regard to the latter the ateleia was usually an exemption from custom duties on the importation or exportation of goods, and was given as a reward for certain good services. Historical examples Croesus received the ateleia at Delphi Herod, i. 54 the Attic Deceleans at Sparta Herod, ix. 73 Leucon , the ruler of Bosporan Kingdom , at Athens. Dem. c. Lept. p. 466, &c. It appears that if a person thus distinguished, or a citizen of a foreign community possessing the ateleia, took up his residence in the state which had granted it, he also enjoyed other privileges, such as the exemption from the protection money, or tax which resident aliens had to pay at Athens. Harpocrat. s. v. isoteles This ateleia might even become equivalent to the full franchise, as, e. g. the Byzantium Byzantines gave the exemption from liturgy liturgies , and the franchise to all Athenians that might go to Byzantium. Dem. De Coron. p. 256. In many instances a partial ateleia, or an exemption from custom duties, was granted for the purpose of encouraging commerce. Theophr. Char. 23 Schol. ad Aristoph.
