Abstract
The use of the term concord to refer to cosmic harmony is less usual than its combination with peace in reference to civic unanimity. In this regard, Van Unnik's suggestion that 1Clement be studied against the background of the symbouleutic rhetoric of Dio Chrysostom and Aelius Aristides deserves to be followed. A survey of the use of ἁμόυοια in the Hellenistic and early Roman periods has confirmed that in the use of the example of cosmic concord, Dio Chrysostom and Aelius Aristides, inter alia , prove to be the closest to 1Clement 20:3. This chapter focuses on those cases where ἁμόυοια was associated with cosmic harmony. Keywords: 1Clement ; Aelius Aristides; civic concord; cosmic harmony; Dio Chrysostom; early Roman period; Hellenistic period
