Question
Polybius extolled a queen of this kingdom as the “mother of four sons,” two of which visited her city of origin in an episode similar to the story of Cleobis and Biton. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this kingdom whose queen Apollonis (“app-uh-LO-nis”) was given divine honors in a Teos inscription calling her “Eusebes Apobateria” (“yoo-seh-BEEZ app-oh-buh-TEE-ree-uh”), or “pious, she who disembarks.” The Attalid dynasty ruled this kingdom.
ANSWER: Pergamon [or Pergamum; accept Pergamene Kingdom; accept Attalid kingdom until read]
[10h] Dolores Mirón has discussed how Apollonis represented an ideal to citizen Greek women, as she was not of royal blood, but was a native of this city. Mindarus died in a 410 BCE naval battle near this Mysian (“MIZ-ee-un”) city that was won by Athens.
ANSWER: Cyzicus (“SIZ-ick-us”) [or Kyzikos or Kúzikos; accept Aydıncıḳ; accept Battle of Cyzicus; accept Apollonis of Cyzicus]
[10e] Apollonis’s epithet of Apobateria has been linked to Aphrodite, who was associated with many queens of this period. This period of Greek history followed the Classical period and began with the death of Alexander the Great.
ANSWER: Hellenistic period [reject “Hellenic period”]
