This Ark will be built by the luminous collaboration of the entire world, but most of all by the responsibility of the greeks to sustain it as a concept amongst themselves, so as to assume within their depths the germ of an intact regeneration of Man from the power of Love, Will, and Mind. This will germ they will find useful, in the shortest time, as a sign for an Exodus in total psychical togetherness, a shared desire for an ethical, social, and spiritual departure from one level of life into another.” From The Delphic University Angelos Sikelianos 9 10 InTROducTIOn – gEnERAl REMARkS ― Why does your city wish to participate in the competition to be- come European capital of culture? “The decision to put forward our candidacy for European Capital of Culture 2021 has historical signifi- cance for our Municipality. On the one hand, the candidacy was the motivation for organizing a broad dialogue on Culture and innovation as drivers for growth, and as bases for reshaping social conditions in our area. On the other hand, it gave us the chance to form a strong coalition with important local, regional and other forces, as well as with industry and academic institutions, the most important among which are the Prefecture of Central Greece and all of the Municipalities of Central Greece, as well as the Europe- an Cultural Centre of Delphi, united in the organization of regional actions and in hoping to shape a proposal characterised by universality, the timeless European dimension of Greek culture, research and innovation and the highlighting of the immense cultural and historical heritage of our area, while also placing emphasis on contemporary creativity and in the active local community, which is ever present, engaged and pioneering in a range of sectors. We have grounds to believe, whilst also being aware of the substantial responsibility of our choice, that Delphi ...hoping to shape a can broadcast to Greece and Europe a universal mes- sage, can express genuine intellectual reason, which proposal characterised by will be heard both as a rallying cry and as a hopeful message for the position of our country within today’s universality, the timeless Europe, which must provide fertile ground for address- ing the extraordinary social challenges and be «trans- European dimension of formed», as has always happened in the past, through a culture of tolerance, inclusion, solidarity and progress. Greek culture, research The slogan “ΜΕΤΑΜΟRFOSIS” is the first prophecy sent and innovation and the from Delphi to the Europe of 2015, to the Europe of 2021. Like all great people and civilisations of the past, highlighting of the immense modern Greece and Europe are tasked with interpreting the prophecy correctly, transforming the message into cultural and historical a creative force and into an occasion for new explora- tions. To finally undergo a metamorphosis!’’ heritage of our area. Athanasios Panayiotopoulos Mayor of Delphi 11 IntroductIon – general remarks Here in Delphi, the land of prophecies and of ancient gods, in the heart of Greece, all of us collectively made an important decision. To compete in order to become the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2021. The town of Delphi is, besides, a timeless cultural hub. It is the welcoming place uniting peoples of the world. It is that point which, carrying a long and important history stretching back to time immemorial, can promote cooperation and embrace cultures from every corner of Europe. Timely as never before, the Delphic Amphictyony, as an early form of the League of Nations, served principles that are absolutely vital for today’s Europe, being a prime example of cooperation, mutual aid, equal representation and mutual understanding. Timely as never before, Sikelianos’ Delphic Ideal, which places Delphi in «the global spiritual nucleus, capable of uniting people in spite of their differences», is absolutely aligned with the spirit of the European Capital of Culture as an institution, which, by means of respect to the cultural diversity of peoples, celebrates and praises their common cultural characteristics. In order for today’s Europe to look into the eyes of the Europe of 2021, it is in need of a «Clairvoyant Pythia» who, with «the voice of our unfathomable future», will give us «new dreams and new myths for us to live on».* Kostas Bakoyiannis Delphi is the Navel Governor of the Region of Central Greece of the Earth, let it now become the Centre of European Culture, The cultural capital of Central Greece is undoubtedly which owes so much important for Greece, and can constitute a milestone in to the Delphic Ideal. the recovery and rebuilding of our Region. From the very first meeting of the Administrative Council of the Regional Association of the Municipalities Helène Glykatzi – Ahrweiler of Central Greece, we set the goal of supporting actions President of the Governing Board of which are aimed at the promotion of Central Greece the European Cultural Centre of Delphi through cooperation, solidarity and mutual support between Municipalities. The initiative by the Municipality of Delphi is a collective one, an initiative aiming to promote Central Greece as a whole. In such an initiative, no citizen of Central Greece can stand idly by. The Regional Association of Municipalities of Central Greece welcomes and supports the initiative by the Municipality of Delphi to apply to become European Capital of Culture for 2021. It is our sincere wish that this becomes reality. Loukas Yperifanos President of the Regional Association of Municipalities of Central Greece Mayor of Orchomenos * The lyrics have been borrows from the poem «To the Oracle of Delphi» by Laurence Ferlinghetti 12 IntroductIon – general remarks Like all of Greece, Delphi faces severe economic crisis, as well as a crisis of values. A crisis of identity, faced by Europe as a whole. The area is changing, both in terms of population and culture, gradually losing touch with its roots. In this turbulent time, a time of productive exchange, full of questions, Delphi express the need for going back to the past, when people, both kings and ordinary folk, came here to ask for the advice of the gods about what is to come. Yet the god of Delphi, Apollo Loxias, did not reveal, he «signalled», he showed the way, and man was required to provide his own answers to his own questions. In that spirit, today Delphi ask the people of the area to turn to their roots, to the nucleus, and to answer their questions in cooperation with the rest of the citizens of Greece and Europe, guided by the values of ancient Delphi: brotherhood (ρίζα δελφύς/riza delphis = womb), self-awareness, metron/moderation. The Delphi area wishes to participate in the competition: • Because, during ancient times, it was the centre of the world, and is now one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, an area very attractive to tourists, with a very special historical, natu- ral and cultural signature. • So that it can once more become «the centre of the world», both for Culture and for the Intellect. • To present all of its facets to the world, going beyond its most famous one, that of ancient Delphi. To be given the opportunity to unleash the dynamic of its hidden cultural landscape and to experiment with aspects of local culture and their imprint on foreign visitors. • To engage in conversation and collaboration with people from the rest of Europe. To share common realities and to create a network of cultural contacts with areas of similar characteristics. • To promote intergenerational dialogues. • To create infrastructure from which the entire area will benefit culturally, including long- term. • To invest in education, research and innovation as a basis for holistic and sustainable development in the area. • For culture to take centre stage in the development (of the economy, values, housing, culture, society, etc.) for the local community. In addition, an important driver for the submission of the present application is the dual character of Delphi, on the one hand representing universal human values and projecting them to the entire world (the Delphic Ideal), and promoting cosmopolitanism, harmony and togetherness as a way of managing «the other», while on the other hand having an emblematic symbolic dimension contributing to the identity of modern Greece. Specifically, Delphi: - Is an area popular throughout Greece. - Constitutes a model for the management of the natural and cultural environment, highlighting the importance of the biodiversity and cultural diversity of the area. - Constitutes the epicentre of the history of the Greek people, from the birth of the Greek nation until today, and reflect their entire heritage via archaeological sites, historical places relevant to the Rev- olution of 1821, cities linked to the economic growth of Greece (Amfissa, Galaxidi, etc.), Asia Minor communities providing hospitality to refugees in the area in the time of the Asia Minor Catastrophe.

Based on the inscriptions and the geographical location of the site we propose the hypothesis that this is quite probably the spot where the oracle of “Apollo Seli- nountios” (mentioned by Strabo) would stand in antiquity. The wall ruins of the site are found on a very steep bedrock escarpment of an active fault zone, next to a hanging valley, a high waterfall and a cave.

  • The Emigration of Muslims from the Greek State in the 19Th Century
    BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA XXVII Poznań 2020 THE EMIGRATION OF MUSLIMS FROM THE GREEK STATE 1 IN THE 19TH CENTURy. AN OUTLINE kr z y s z t o f Po P e k Abstract. Modern Greek statehood began to take shape with the War of Independence that broke out in 1821 and continued with varying intensity for the next years. As a result of these events, the Greeks cast of the foreign rule, which for many not only meant separation from the Ottoman Empire, but also the expulsion of Muslims living in these lands. During the uprising, about 25 000 Muslims lost their lives, and a similar number emigrated from the territory of the future Greek state. The next great exodus of Muslims from Greek lands was related to the an- nexation of Thessaly by the Hellenic Kingdom, which was to a larger extent spread over time. Since the region was incorporated into Greece until the beginning of the 20th century, the 40 000-strong Islamic community had virtually disappeared.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

  • Rock Falls in Delphi Archaeological Site, in Greece
    Rockfalls occurred in the archaeological site of Delphi, Greece B. Christaras Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Geology, Lab. of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, e-mail: [email protected] K. Vouvalidis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Geology, Dept. of Physical & Environmental Geography, e-mail: [email protected] M. - F. Papakonstantinou Ministry of Culture, Chief Archaeologist of I’ Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, Delphi, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: In the present investigation, the safety of the northern slope of Delphi’s archaeological site in Greece was investigated against rockfalls. The area consists of limestone lying over flysch. Three possible rockfall rebound tracks, passing through the ancient stadium, and the theatre, were studied for different rock dimensions and tracks resulting that the more dangerous and difficult in retention rockfall track is that which crosses the stadium. The use of barriers was investigated accepting, finally, that a 2.5m-high metallic barrier could be installed along the northern steep slope for the protection of the archaeological site. KEY WORDS: ROCKFALLS, DELPHI, SLOP STABILITY, RESTRAINING BARRIERES 1. INTRODUCTION In the middle of September 2009, prolonged rainfall activated rockfalls from the upper sections of the archaeological site’s northern slope and fall downslope, out of the enclosure wall of the Sanctuary of Apollo, north of the Portico of Attalus. Rockfalls also occur in the stadium from 2003 onwards (Figure 1). The slope, consisting of limestone, is steep and heavily broken as a result of the existing tectonics. The rockfalls created dangerous conditions in the archaeological site regarding the safety of tourists, the staff of the ephorate and the protection of the monuments.
