active vs. passive participle

Greetings all,

Shouldn’t the active participle ἀναστάντες be changed to the passive participle ἀναστησάμενοι or maybe the middle perfect participle?

Bοιωτοὶ οἱ νῦν ἑξηκοστῷ ἔτει μετὰ ᾿Ῑλίου ἅλωσιν ἐξ Ἄρνης ἀναστάντες ὑπὸ Θεσσαλῶν τὴν Bοιωτίᾱν ᾤκισαν.
In the sixtieth year after the capture of Troy, the present Boeotians, after being expelled from Arne by the Thessalians, colonized Boeotia.

No. We see ἀνίστημι used in the same way just before this, in Thuc. 8.2: οἱ γὰρ ἐκ τῶν νήσων κακοῦργοι ἀνέστησαν ὑπʹ αὐτοῦ.

(-)ἵστημι is a tricky verb, and ἀναστάντες is intransitive, the participle of ανέστην “I got up” not of ανέστησα “I got (someone) up.” (The two happen to coincide in the 3rd person plural, ανέστησαν.)

And αναστησάμενοι is not passive but middle.

Thanks a lot, mwh and Mattk! You’re right, I thought it came from ανέστησα.
