The Persian War was one of the most significant events in ancient
history. It halted Persia's westward expansion, inspired the Golden
Age of Greece, and propelled Athens to the heights of power. From
the end of the war almost to the end of antiquity, the Greeks and
later the Romans recalled the battles and heroes of this war with
unabated zeal. The resulting monuments and narratives have long
been used to reconstruct the history of the war itself, but they
have only recently begun to be used to explore how the conflict was
remembered over time. States of Memory focuses on the initial
recollection of the war in the classical period down to the Lamian
War (480-322 BCE). Drawing together recent work on memory theory
and a wide range of ancient evidence, Yates argues that the Greek
memory of the war was deeply divided from the outset. Despite the
panhellenic scope of the conflict, the Greeks very rarely recalled
the war as Greeks. Instead they presented themselves as members of
their respective city-states. What emerged was a tangled web of
idiosyncratic stories about the Persian War that competed with each
other fiercely throughout the classical period. It was not until
Philip of Macedonia and Alexander the Great dealt a devastating
blow to the very notion of the independent city-state at the battle
of Chaeronea that anything like a unified memory of the Persian War
came to dominate the tradition.
