dc.description.abstractAt Th. 3.70.4, a number of Corcyraean oligarchs are convicted of illegally ‘cutting stakes’ (τέμνειν χάρακας) in two local sanctuaries. The significance of this charge is disputed among commentators. We offer detailed support of Hornblower’s conclu-sion that the Corcyraean oligarchs are charged with cutting saplings from sacred land for use as vine-stakes in their own fields. Our argument places Thucydides’ account of events in a larger philolog-ical, ecological and social framework, and suggests that the details of the accusation help establish abuse of communally controlled natural resources and the court system as prodromal stages in the so-cial deterioration that ultimately produces the stasison Corcyra and by implication elsewhere as well.en_US
dc.description.abstractEn Th. III 70.4 se acusa a un grupo de oligarcas de Corcira por ‘cortar estacas’ (τέμνειν χάρακας) ilegalmente en dos santuarios locales. Los comen-taristas discuten el significado de esta acusación. Ofrecemos apoyo detallado a la conclusión de Hornblower, según la cual se acusa a los oligarcas corcirenses de cortar árboles jóvenes de terreno sa-grado para usarlos como puntales de viñas en sus campos privados. Nuestro argumento sitúa el relato de Tucídides en un marco filológico, ecológico y social más amplio, y sugiere que los detalles de la acusación ayudan a establecer el abuso de recursos naturales controlados por la comunidad y el siste-ma judicial como fases preliminares en el deterioro social que terminó produciendo la stasis en Corcira e implícitamente también en otros lugares.
