It analyzes the diachronic development of battlefield, sanctuary, and city spaces, as evidenced by archaeological remains and ancient literary sources. In addition, it explores the experience of the commemorative spaces through the application of theories of space, phenomenology, and social memory. Following a biographical approach, the commemoration of each battle is organized into stages of initial commemoration, official monumentalization, memory curation, memory lapse, and reception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe research has led to several conclusions. While the commemoration of each battle can be divided into stages, these stages are not always discrete. There is variation in the types of commemorations within the stages, dependent on time, surrounding space, and the parties involved. Single commemorations can resonate differently with multiple audiences. The processes within the stage of memory curation lead to the subsequent lapse. The final stage of commemoration for each battle begins with the rediscovery of ancient monuments and continues to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe battles of Marathon, Leuktra, and Chaironeia are case studies for three reasons. First, they effectively span the period of Classical Greece (Marathon in 490 BCE to Chaironeia in 338 BCE). Secondly, these battles had different participants, thus allowing a variety of perspectives of both the victorious and the defeated. Lastly, these were battles that left lasting impacts in the material and literary record, making their commemoration relevant not only in antiquity, but also in the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandon Braun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789259355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789259353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxbow Books Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Brandon Braun","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080164208895,"sku":"9781789259353","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45469961093375,"sku":"9781789259353","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_932890c3-c86e-4b2d-9152-ecec71bf555f.jpg?v=1685485290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/commemorating-classical-battles-brandon-braun-9781789259353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
