His father, Lycortas, was the intimate friend of Philopoemen, and on the death of the latter, in 182, succeeded him as leader of the league. The date of Polybius's birth is doubtful. He tells us himself that in 181 he had not yet reached the age (perhaps thirty years) at which an Achaean was legally capable of holding office. We learn from Cicero that he outlived the Numantine War, which ended 132, and from Lucian Polybius is equally explicit as regards the personal qualifications necessary for a good historian, and in this respect too his practice is in close agreement with his theory. Without a personal knowledge of affairs a writer will inevitably distort the true relations and importance of events. Such experience would have saved accomplished and fluent Greek writers like Timaeus from many of their blunders, but the shortcomings of Roman soldiers and senators like Q. Fabius Pictor show that it is not enough by itself. Equally indispensable is careful painstaking research. All available evidence must be collected, thoroughly sifted, soberly weighed, and, lastly, the historian must be animated by a sincere love of truth and a calm impartiality.

home index ancient Greece Polybius of Megalopolis Polybius of Megalopolis (c.200-c.118): Greek historian, author of an important World History that describes the rise of Rome. Polybius of Megalopolis was born at the moment when the Romans had defeated Carthage and started to focus on Greece. Polybius' family played a role in the resistance, and after 168, he was brought as a political prisoner to Italy, where he lived for eighteen years. In Rome, he was introduced to the cultural circle of the family of the Cornelii Scipiones, and he accompanied Scipio Aemilianus on his campaigns to Africa and Spain. Moreover, Polybius made some voyages himself. For example, he crossed the Alps to find out how Hannibal had invaded Italy, and sailed along the coast of western Africa. All this gave him an excellent knowledge of the inside dealings of Roman politics, which make his World history one of the most important sources for the study of the rise of Rome. Because later generations did not appreciate the Greek language of the age of Polybius, he never became a "classic" author, and a great part of the World history is now lost.

[c 200-118 B.C.] The Rise of the Roman Empire "The fact is that we can obtain no more than an impression of a whole from a part, but certainly neither a thorough knowledge nor an accurate understanding. We must conclude then that specialized studies or monographs contribute very little to our grasp of the whole and our conviction of its truth. On the contrary, it is only by combining and comparing the various parts of the whole with one another and noting their resemblances and their differences that we shall arrive at a comprehensive view, and thus encompass both the practical benefits and the pleasure that the reading of history affords."

Polybius Pausanias 8.37.2, Inscription on the Temple of Despoina near Arakesion. Polybius relief sculpture found in Cleitor. Source Polybios or Polybius of Megalopolis (c. 203 BC - 120 BC) the son of Lycortas, Greek historian, famous for his book called The Histories or The Rise of the Roman Empire which covers 220 BC to 146 BC. As the former tutor of the Scipio Africanus the Younger, the famous adopted grandson of the famous general Scipio Africanus, Polybius remained on terms of the most cordial friendship and remained a counsellor to the man who defeated the Carthaginans in the Second Punic War by routing them from Spain and then defeating Hannibal himself in Africa at the Battle of Zama. The younger Scipio eventually invaded Carthage and forced them to surrender unconditionally. In a classic story of human behavior, Polybius captures it all: Nationalism, Racism, duplicitous politics, horrible battles, brutality, etc.; along with, loyalty, valor, bravery, intelligence, reason and resourcefulness. With his eye for detail and characteristic critically reasoned style, Polybius provided a unified view of history rather than a chronology. Polybius was a member of the governing class, with firsthand opportunities to gain deep insight into military and political affairs. His political career was devoted largely towards maintaining the independence of the Achaean League. As the chief representative of the policy of neutrality during the war of the Romans against Perseus of Macedonia, he attracted the suspicion of the Romans, and was one of the 1000 noble Achaeans who in 166 BC were transported to Rome as hostages, and detained there for seventeen years. In Rome, by virtue of his high culture, he was admitted to the most distinguished houses, in particular to that of Aemilius Paulus, the conqueror in the Macedonian War, who intrusted him with the education of his sons, Fabius and the younger Scipio. Through Scipio's intercession in 150 BC, Polybius obtained leave to return home, but in the very next year he went with his friend to Africa, and was present at the capture of Carthage that he described.

It forcefully raises the fundamental historiographic questions of praise and blame and the function of history."Philip A. Stadter, Falk Professor in The Humanities, University of North Carolina "In Polybius's Histories, as Eckstein so adroitly shows, politicians see their predecessors, even in defeat or failure, praised when they act nobly and responsibly, thus finding by example a code of ethical behavior and moral duty that remains a guide to conduct even in changin circumstances."Richard Mitchell, author of Patricians and Plebians: The Origins of the Roman State (1990)

Polybius From LoveToKnow 1911 POLYBIUS c. 204-122 B.C.), Greek historian, was a native of Megalopolis in Arcadia , the youngest of Greek cities (Paus. viii. 9), which, however, played an honourable part in the last days of Greek freedom as a stanch member of the Achaean League . His father, Lycortas, was the intimate friend of Philopoemen , and on the death of the latter, in 182, succeeded him as leader of the league. The date of Polybius's birth is doubtful. He tells us himself that in 181 he had not yet reached the age (? thirty years , Polyb. xxix. 9) at which an Achaean was legally capable of holding office (xxiv. 6). We learn from Cicero Ad Fam. v. [12) that he outlived the Numantine War, which ended [in 132, and from Lucian Macrob. 22 ) that he died at the age of eighty-two. The majority of authorities therefore place his birth between 214 and 204 B.C. Little is known of his early life. As the son of Lycortas he was naturally brought into close contact with the leading men of the Achaean League. With Philopoemen he seems to have been on intimate terms. After Philopoemen's tragic death in Messenia (182) he was entrusted with the honourable duty of conveying home the urn in which his ashes had been deposited (Plut.
