Packet 6: Bonus 6

This city’s multifunctional domestic complexes, dubbed “oikos units” by J. Walter Graham, provide much evidence for the nature of Greek housing. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this city that underwent anoikismos (“an-oy-KIZ-moss”) in 432 BCE, becoming the center of the Chalcidian (“kal-KID-ee-un”) League. This was also the home city of Alexander the Great’s historian Callisthenes.
ANSWER: Olynthus [or Olynthos]
[10m] After their revolt from Athens, the League continued to use the “Chalcidian” ethnos in epigraphic contexts, reflecting links to a city on this island that fought the Lelantine War with Eretria (“eh-REH-tree-uh”) in the Archaic period.
ANSWER: Euboea (“yoo-BEE-uh”) [accept Evia; accept Macris or Doliche or Ellopia or Ocha]
[10e] Perdiccas II encouraged the revolt of the Chalcidians, who had earlier been granted Olynthus by the Persians after moving from Euboea to this region. The Odrysians were from this region that included southeastern Bulgaria.
ANSWER: Thrace [accept Thracians or Thráki or Trakiya]
