Abstract:
This thesis revisits the political interactions between Corinth and Argos during the Corinthian War 392-386, commonly referred to by modern scholars as a unification between two poleis. It re-examines the various source traditions and argues that no unification program of the sort attested in later Greek history ever occurred. Argos' involvement in Corinthian affairs was limited by Spartan interference to a merely territorial and military presence in the Corinthia, and the Argive leadership of the Isthmian Games of 390 was more closely connected to previous tensions over pan-Hellenic contests than to a sharing of political rights. It also uses this event to evaluate aspects of the theoretical and systematic model of the polis advanced by M. H. Hansen and the Copenhagen Polis Centre. An anomaly like the Union does not fit into this formulation, and only a more fluid understanding of the nature of the polis can accommodate it.
