Stasis (political history)
Stasis is a term in Greek political history. It refers to:
* the constant feuds between aristocrats in archaic Greece, and their struggles to attain the best in title (''aristos'' is Greek for "the best") both in terms of prestige and property. It led to various civil wars and the establishment of Tyrannies in many cities of ancient Greece, most notably the Tyranny of Peisistratos in Athens
* the feuding between oligarchic and democratic factions in the Greek city-states of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. This is a theme of Thucydides' ''History of the Peloponnesian War'', which features a famous description of factional fighting on the island of Corcyra 〔Thucydides, Peloponnesian War III 69-85〕(modern Corfu).
==The ''Aristeuein''-ideal==
According to the Iliad, it was the goal of all men of honour in archaic Greece to ''always be the first and superior to the others''.〔Iliad 6, 208.〕 This ideal was called the ''aristeuein''- or ''aristeia''-Ideal. In Homer's days, this ideal was mainly based on performance skills in speaking and fighting, and included wisdom, self-restraint, loyalty, and bravery (e.g., leading armies in the front row). For decades, prestige, which was a requisite for might, originated in speaking ability and military virtues. This is true for the cases of both Solon and Peisistratos by Herodotus〔(1,60 )〕 and by Aristotle in the ''Athenaion Politeia''.〔(2.1 )〕 In addition, success at the Olympic Games, especially in the field of four-horse chariot racing, was a peaceful way to gain prestige.〔Herodotus (5, 71 ()) mentions this when introducing Kylon〕
