HESPERIA 73 (2004) A SURVEY OF EVIDENCE Pages 133-178 FOR FEASTING IN MYCENAEANSOCIETY ABSTRACT The study of feasting on the Greek mainland during the Middle and Late Bronze Age provides insights into the nature of Mycenaean society. Grave goods demonstratechanges in feasting and drinking practicesand their im- portancein the formationof an elite identity.Cooking, serving,and drinking vessels are also recordedin Linear B documents. Feasting scenes appearin the frescoes of Crete and the islands, and the Mycenaeans adapt this tradi- tion for representationin their palaces.Feasting iconographyis also found in vase painting,particularly in examplesofthe PictorialStyle. Mycenaean feast- ing is an expressionof the hierarchicalsociopolitical structure of the palaces. INTRODUCTION In this paper I survey the artifactual evidence for Mycenaean feasting, including pottery,bronze vessels, frescoes,Linear B ideograms, and painted representations on pottery and other terracottaartifacts.1 There is no gen- erally accepted definition of feasting: some scholarsprefer a definition that encompasses most occasions of the consumption of food and drink; others argue for a more restrictive one.2 For the purposes of this investigation, I define feasting as the formal ceremony of communal eating and drinking to celebratesignificant occasions. I exclude the quotidian partakingof food and drink that is carried out for biological or fundamental social reasons, such as eating with family or casuallywith acquaintances,friends, and col- leagues-activities that do not include any perceived reciprocity.Material evidence for either eating or drinking may indicate feasting, but one must scrutinize the evidence closely to determine whether the remains are the result of formal and ritual activities not involving feasting. For example, 1.

It is not my purposeto examinethe organicresidues and archaeologi- cal depositsof feasts,especially since that is the subjectof two other ar- ticles in this volume.4Instead, the informationcollected for this research is thatwhich to our eyes presentsconsistent patterns of form and decora- tion, of assemblage,and of contextand deposition,evidence that repre- sentsa stylepeculiar to the practiceof feastingand formal drinking during the erawe define as Mycenaean.By "Mycenaean"I mean the assemblage of artifactsthat constitutesthe characteristicarchaeological culture that originateson the mainlandof Greecein the lateMiddle Bronze Age, finds its fullest expressionin the palacesduring Late Helladic (LH) IIIA-B, and can be tracedthrough the postpalatialLH IIIC period.5Different scholarswill define differentlythe chronologicaland geographicalrange of this culture,but probablywill not disagreethat it takes recognizable form about1600-1550 B.c. and ends about1100-1050 B.c.; is character- ized by settlementswith palacesand writing in LinearB; andin its broad- est extentencompasses coastal Thessaly, central Greece, the Peloponnese, Crete,the Aegean islands,and perhapssome settlementson the western Anatoliancoast.

    REINHARD JUNG · MATHIAS MEHOFER MYCENAEAN GREECE AND BRONZE AGE ITALY: COOPERATION, TRADE OR WAR? »I continue to believe it probable that the occasion for the first introduction of Type II swords to the Aegean was military necessity that drove Mycenaean princes to hire warriors from outside Greece. These warriors brought their own armouries with them. Their swords in particular were greatly admired by their em - ployers, who set their own swordsmiths to copy and adapt them.« 1 Since the publication of Hector Catling’s paper, which contains the above interpretation of Late Bronze Age relations between Mycenaean Greece and its north-western neighbours, various research ers have decisively contributed to a better understanding of the pro - cesses that lead 1) to the adoption of new types of weapons, armour, dress accessories and implements (often referred to as metallurgical koiné or »urnfield bronzes«) at the end of the Aegean Bronze Age and 2) to the local production of impasto pottery of Italian Recent and Final Bronze Age type in the Aegean and beyond. Thanks to the results of recent studies, we are provided with detailed typological arguments 2 that support the theory that the origin of those bronze and pottery types has to be traced back to Italy (figs 1-2).

  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

  • Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region
    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves.

  • SYRTAKI Greek PRONUNCIATION
    SYRTAKI Greek PRONUNCIATION: seer-TAH-kee TRANSLATION: Little dragging dance SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance in the Greek community of Los Angeles. Athan Karras, a prominent Greek dance researcher, also has taught Syrtaki to folk dancers in the United States, as have many other teachers of Greek dance. BACKGROUND: The Syrtaki, or Sirtaki, was the name given to the combination of various Hasapika (or Hassapika) dances, both in style and the variation of tempo, after its popularization in the motion picture Alexis Zorbas (titled Zorba the Greek in America). The Syrtaki is danced mainly in the taverns of Greece with dances such as the Zeybekiko (Zeimbekiko), the Tsiftetelli, and the Karsilamas. It is a combination of either a slow hasapiko and fast hasapiko, or a slow hasapiko, hasaposerviko, and fast hasapiko. It is typical for the musicians to "wake things up" after a slow or heavy (vari or argo) hasapiko with a medium and / or fast Hasapiko. The name "Syrtaki" is a misnomer in that it is derived from the most common Greek dance "Syrtos" and this name is a recent invention. These "butcher dances" spread throughout the Balkans and the Near East and all across the Aegean islands, and entertained a great popularity. The origins of the dance are traced to Byzantium, but the Argo Hasapiko is an evolved idiom by Aegean fisherman and their languid lifestyle. The name "Syrtaki" is now embedded as a dance form (meaning "little Syrtos," though it is totally unlike any Syrto dance), but its international fame has made it a hallmark of Greek dancing.

Since Phase 2, Greece has introduced an express denial of tax deductibility of bribes. Greece has also taken numerous initiatives to raise the level of awareness of the foreign bribery offences and of the OECD Convention either through public measures or private activities. 2. In particular, the Export Credit Insurance Organisation includes the foreign bribery offence in its presentations as a matter of course. The market authorities, including the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission and the Athens Exchange, have undertaken initiatives on corruption, including foreign bribery. Awareness initiatives have also been undertaken within the Ministries of Finance and Economy, Justice, and the Interior, Public Administration and Decentralisation, and among tax officials. The Hellenic Banks Association in conjunction with all major commercial banks have organised meetings and seminars on the detection of corrupt practices, including money laundering and foreign bribery. However, the Working Group notes that no concrete action has been undertaken by the Hellenic Aid to further raise awareness of the Convention and the foreign bribery offence for its staff.

  • The Aegean Chapter Viii the Decorative
    H. J. Kantor - Plant Ornament in the Ancient Near East, Chapter VIII: The Decorative Flora of Crete and the Late Helladic Mainland SECTION II: THE AEGEAN CHAPTER VIII THE DECORATIVE FLORA OF CRETE AND THE LATE HELLADIC MAINLAND In the midst of the sea, on the long island of Crete, there dwelt a people, possessors of the fabulous Minoan culture, who are known to have had trade relations with Egypt, and with other Near-Eastern lands. Still farther away towards the north lies the Mainland of Greece, a region that proved itself to be a very hospitable host to the graft of Minoan culture. Before the close of the LH period the ceramic results of this union were to be spread over the Near East in great profusion and it becomes necessary to define the extent of Aegean influence on those traditions of Near-Eastern art that lie within the scope of our topic. Before this is possible a concise summary of the plant ornamentation of the Aegean must be presented.1 This background forms a necessary basis without which the reaction of Aegean plant design on the main development of our story, be it large or small, cannot be determined. 1 A great deal of interest and work has been devoted to the study of Minoan decorative art almost since the beginning of its discovery, and full advantage of this has been taken in the preparation of the present survey. The chief treatments of the subject are as follows: Edith H. Hall, The Decorative Art of Crete in the Bronze Age (Philadelphia, 1907); Ernst Reisinger, Kretische Vasenmalerei vom Kamares bis zum Palast-Stil (Leipzig, Berlin, 1912); Diederich Fimmen, Die Kretisch-Mykenische Kulture (Leipzig, Berlin, 1924), Alois Gotsmich, Entwicklungsgang der Kretischen Ornamentik, Wein, 1923); Frederich Matz, Frühkretische Siegel (Berlin, 1928), covering a much wider field than is indicated by the title; Georg Karo, Die Schachtgräber von Mykenai (Munchen, 1939).
