The Daochos Monument at Delphi has received some scholarly attention from an art-historical and archaeological perspective; this article, however, examines it rather as a reflection of contemporary Thessalian history and discourse, an aspect which has been almost entirely neglected. Through its visual imagery and its inscriptions, the monument adopts and adapts long-standing Thessalian themes of governance and identity, and achieves a delicate balance with Macedonian concerns to forge a symbolic rapprochement between powers and cultures in the Greek north. Its dedicator, Daochos, emerges as far more than just the puppet of Philip II of Macedon. This hostile and largely Demosthenic characterisation, which remains influential even in modern historiography, is far from adequate in allowing for an understanding of the relationship between Thessalian and Macedonian motivations at this time, or of the importance of Delphi as the pan-Hellenic setting of their interaction. Looking closely at the Daochos Monument instead allows for a rare glimpse into the Thessalian perspective in all its complexity.

This article attempts to make a critical assessment of the preserved fragments of Thettalon politeia as a source on the history of early Thessaly. The traces of the existence of this text come from the second half of the 2nd century CE at the earliest, but even then it was seen as one of the Politeiai recorded by Aristotle. As a result of this attribution, information from this text is treated as a reliable source of knowledge on the koinon organization of the Thessalians and their joint army. There are, however, important reasons to treat this source with the greatest caution: we have only six short quotations from the work available, and the part which refers to Aleuas’ supposed reforms is very much damaged and has been subjected to a number of emendations by its various publishers. The description of the system of mobilization of the Thessalian army from Thettalon politeia seems anachronistic, and probably arose under the influence of information about the reorganization of the army conducted in the 370s BCE by Jason of Pherae and the propaganda that accompanied these changes.

Modern Greek statehood began to take shape with the War of Independence that broke out in 1821 and continued with varying intensity for the next years. As a result of these events, the Greeks cast of the foreign rule, which for many not only meant separation from the Ottoman Empire, but also the expulsion of Muslims living in these lands. During the uprising, about 25 000 Muslims lost their lives, and a similar number emigrated from the territory of the future Greek state. The next great exodus of Muslims from Greek lands was related to the annexation of Thessaly by the Hellenic Kingdom, which was to a larger extent spread over time. Since the region was incorporated into Greece until the beginning of the 20th century, the 40 000-strong Islamic community had virtually disappeared.

After the conquest of Basil II the Balkan Vlachs communities were under Byzantine rule. The provincial aristocrat Kekaumenos described in his "Book of Advice" the Vlachs of Thessaly, who raised a short-lived rebellion against the Emperor in 1066. The reason for the riots were the attempts to raise taxes and the form of their collection which was met with the opposition of Wallachian leaders, convinced that the attempts threaten the material existence of the community and lead to the loss of the existing rights.

PL

Po podbojach Bazylego II społeczności Wołochów bałkańskich znalazły się pod panowaniem bizantyńskim. Prowincjonalny arystokrata Kekaumenos opisał w swoich „Radach” Wołochów z Tesalii, którzy wzniecili krótkotrwały bunt przeciw cesarzowi w 1066 r. Powodem zamieszek były próby zwiększenia podatków oraz formy ich poboru, co spotkało się ze sprzeciwem przywódców wołoskich przekonanych, że zagrażają one materialnemu bytowi społeczności i doprowadzą do utraty dotychczasowych praw.

The writings of Georgios Akropolites, both in historiography as well as in rhetoric, do not contain much information about Vlachs. Their presence is always secondary to the description of other events, judged through the perspective of the interests of the Palaiologan dynasty. Nevertheless, the few references to Vlachs are of significant value from the point of view of historical geography, being helpful especially when it comes to understanding the application of the term of so-called “Vlachia” (in different variations) to certain areas of northern and western Greece. Presented paper contains: a) an overview of the entire works of Georgios Akropolites, b) translated excerpts from Akropolites' main work History, together with a philological and historical commentary, c) an annex containing notes on significance of references to Vlachs in the literary masterpiece of the Cretan Renaissance, the Erotokritos written by V. Kornaros, for historical research.

PL

Twórczość Jerzego Akropolitesa, zarówno z zakresu historiografii, jak i retoryki, nie zawiera wiele informacji na temat Włachów. Ich obecność jest zawsze drugorzędną wypadkową w opisie innych wydarzeń, ocenianych z perspektywy interesów dynastii Paleologów. Niemniej, nieliczne wzmianki o Włachach mają dużą wartość z zakresu geografii historycznej, będąc pomocne zwłaszcza w rozumieniu stosowania pojęcia tzw. „Wlachii” (w kilku odmiankach) na niektóre obszary Grecji północnej i zachodniej. Przedstawiony artykuł zawiera: a) przegląd całości twórczości Jerzego Akropolitesa, b) przetłumaczone fragmenty z dzieła Akropolitesa pt. Historia, zaopatrzone w komentarz filologiczno-historyczny, c) aneks, w którym umieszczono krótkie uwagi o wartości dla badań historycznych wzmianek o Włachach w arcydziele literackim kreteńskiego renesansu, Erotokritosie W. Kornarosa.
