    excavating at the Birthplace of Zeus The Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project by david gilman romano and mary e. voyatzis www.penn.museum/expedition 9 Village of Ano Karyes on the eastern slopes of Mt. Lykaion. The Sanctuary of Zeus is above the village and beyond view of this photograph. in the 3rd century BCE, the Greek poet Callimachus wrote a Hymn to Zeus asking the ancient and most powerful Greek god whether he was born in Arcadia on Mt. Lykaion or in Crete on Mt. Ida. My soul is all in doubt, since debated is his birth. O Zeus, some say that you were born on the hills of Ida; others, O Zeus, say in Arcadia; did these or those, O Father lie? “Cretans are ever liars.” These two traditions relating to the birthplace of Zeus were clearly known in antiquity and have been transmitted to the modern day. It was one of the first matters that the village leaders in Ano Karyes brought to our attention when we arrived there in 2003. We came to discuss logistical support for our proposed project to initiate a new excavation and survey project at the nearby Sanctuary of Zeus. Situated high on the eastern slopes of Mt. Lykaion, Ano Karyes, with a winter population of 22, would become our base of operations, and the village leaders representing the Cultural Society of Ano Karyes would become our friends and collaborators in this endeavor. We were asked very directly if we could prove that Zeus was born on Mt. Lykaion. In addition, village leaders raised another historical matter related to the ancient reference by Pliny, a 1st century CE author, who wrote that the athletic festival at Mt.

ISBN: 978-960-85145-5-3 ISSN: 2459-3230 Communication and Trade at Tegea in the Bronze Age Hege Agathe Bakke-Alisøy Communication is a central part of any discussion of the Aegean Bronze Age and the development of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations. Movement and communication is always present in human society. The archaeological material from the Tegean Mountain plain indicates the importance of inland communication on the Peloponnese during the Bronze Age. I here look at the settlement structure at the Tegean plain in the Bronze Age, and its relation to possible routes of communication and trade. By discussing changes in settlement pattern, land use, and sacred space my aim is to trace possible changes in the local and regional communication networks in this area. During the EH communication and trade networks at Tegea seems primarily to have had a local focus, with some connection to the more developed trade nodes in the Gulf of Argos. A strong Minoan influenced trade network is also observed in Tegea from the MN and early LH with Analipsis and its strong connection to Laconia. The abandonment of Analipsis correlates with changes in the communication patterns due to a strong Mycenaean culture in the Argolid by the end of LH. The changes observed in the communication network suggest that Tegea, with its central location on the Peloponnese, could be seen as an interjection for all inland communication.

    1 EUROPEAN REGIONAL SCIENCE ASSOSSIATION 46th Congress - Volos - Greece - 2006 Paper No 938 LIGNITE AS CONTRIBUTORY FACTOR TO REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF GREECE - The case of Megalopolis basin at Central Peloponese Author : Ilias J. Kordas Ph.D. candidate, Panteion University, 135, Deinokratous str., 115.21, Athens, Greece Tel:69 44.611716 , e-Mail:[email protected] Key Words : natural resources, lignite exploitation, environmental rehabilitation, urban settlements relocation, land use planning Thematic Topics :Regional economic growth and development - Environment, natural resources and sustainability 1. LIGNITE RESOURCES AND EXPLOITATION IN GREECE 1.1 GEOLOGY OF LIGNITE RESOURCES IN GREECE Lignite, is a carbonaceous sedimentary rock formed by the anaerobic decomposition of plant material and its main use is as fossil fuel, is also known as “brown coal”, and is produced from plant remains through coalification processes. These processes had as a result the enrichment of the plant remains with coal. The plant transformation in peat and the transition from peat (first stage of coalification) into anthracite (final stage of coalification) are related to time, temperature and pressure. The increase of the coalification degree affects the coal physico-chemical characteristics. Lignites were formed during the first stages of coalification, right after the peat formation. It is estimated that for the creation of a bed of lignite one (1) cubic metre thick, a period of 1000 to 4000 years is required. 2 Lignite calorific value is three (3) to seven (7) times lower than the heat value of the coal and five (5) to ten (10) times lower than that of oil. From the beginning of the Kainozoic era to the recent geological years, proper conditions in Greece contributed to lignite formation during certain periods and in specific areas.

  • Neotectonic Folds in the Central-Western Peloponnese, Greece
    Z. dt. Ges. Geowiss., 159/3, p. 485–494, 12 figs., Stuttgart, September 2008 Article Neotectonic folds in the central-western Peloponnese, Greece Ioannis Fountoulis & Ilias Mariolakos* Fountoulis, I. & Mariolakos, I. (2008): Neotectonic folds in the central-western Peloponnese, Greece. [Neotektonische Fal- tung auf der mittleren West-Peloponnes, Griechenland.] – Z. dt. Ges. Geowiss., 159: 485–494, Stuttgart. Abstract: The western Peloponnese, being very close to the Hellenic Trench, is one of the most active areas in Greece. The study area is located at the central western part of Peloponnese and it is developed in a NNW–SSE direction along 45 km, parallel to the Ionian Trench, which occurs at a distance of only 30–40 km to the west. Based on the morphotectonic studies of the neotectonic macrostructures of the central-western Peloponnese in many scales, it was concluded that the main neo- tectonic mega-structure is the “Megalopolis–Lykaeon–Minthi–Tetrazio Composite Morphotectonic Structure” (MELYMITE CMS) (1st order structure). The neotectonic deformation is expressed not only by faults, but also by folds which in some cases are the principal structures of the neotectonic deformation. Neotectonic folds occur in the Alpine formations as well as in the post-Alpine ones in various scales. The folds, and the ductile deformation in general, are not easily observed on the surface because of the intense presence of brittle tectonics. A rotational couple stress-fi eld could satisfactory incorporate and explain the brittle-ductile neotectonic structures of the area. Kurzfassung: Die westliche Peloponnes, recht nahe dem Hellenischen Graben gelegen, ist eines der tektonisch aktivsten Gebiete Griechenlands.

  • Through a Glass Darkly': Obsidian And
    `THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY': OBSIDIAN AND SOCIETY IN THE SOUTHERN AEGEAN EARLY BRONZE AGE Tristan Carter Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, London University. August 1998. BILL LONDON U1JIV. THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY': OBSIDIAN AND SOCIETY IN THE SOUTHERN AEGEAN EARLY BRONZE AGE. Tristan Carter VOLUMEI TEXT and BIBLIOGRAPHY i -ABSTRACT- This thesis considers the social context of Southern Aegean lithic technology during the fourth - third millennia B.C., focusing on the socio-political significance accorded the production and consumption of obsidian blades from the later Neolithic - Early Bronze Age. In Section One (Chapters One-Five) past work on Aegean obsidian is examined critically. Through drawing on data generated by recent surveys and excavations in the southern mainland, the Cyclades and Crete, it is argued that from the later Neolithic - EBII, the working of obsidian shifted from a community-wide basis to being located within a restricted number of settlements. These latter sites, due to their size and associated material culture, are suggested regional centres, acting as loci for skilled knappers and the dissemination of their products. This ability to influence or directly control such individuals is claimed to have played a role in the development of social inequality. The central part of the thesis, Section Two (Chapters Six-Nine) discusses the appearance of fine obsidian blades within the EBI Cycladic burial record, arguing that this new mode of consumption provides a context where one can see the reconceptualisation and political appropriation of lithic technology.

  • The Fortifications of Arkadian Poleis in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods
    THE FORTIFICATIONS OF ARKADIAN POLEIS IN THE CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC PERIODS by Matthew Peter Maher BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2002 BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2005 MA, The University of British Columbia, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2012 © Matthew Peter Maher, 2012 Abstract This study comprises a comprehensive and detailed account of the historical development of Greek military architecture and defensive planning specifically in Arkadia in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It aims to resolve several problems, not least of all, to fill the large gap in our knowledge of both Arkadian fortifications and the archaeology record on the individual site level. After establishing that the Arkadian settlements in question were indeed poleis, and reviewing all previous scholarship on the sites, the fortification circuit of each polis is explored through the local history, the geographical/topographical setting, the architectural components of the fortifications themselves, and finally, the overall defensive planning inherent in their construction. Based an understanding of all of these factors, including historical probability, a chronology of construction for each site is provided. The synthesis made possible by the data gathered from the published literature and collected during the field reconnaissance of every site, has confirmed a number of interesting and noteworthy regionally specific patterns. Related to chronology, it is significant that there is no evidence for fortified poleis in Arkadia during the Archaic period, and when the poleis were eventually fortified in the Classical period, the fact that most appeared in the early fourth century BCE, strategically distributed in limited geographic areas, suggests that the larger defensive concerns of the Arkadian League were a factor.

  • Wildfire Prevention and Mitigation: the Case of Southern
    WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND MITIGATION: THE CASE OF SOUTHERN GREECE A Thesis Presented by NIKOLAOS ZIROGIANNIS Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE February 2009 Department of Resource Economics © Copyright by Nikolaos Zirogiannis 2009 All Rights Reserved WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND MITIGATION: THE CASE OF SOUTHERN GREECE A Thesis Presented by NIKOLAOS ZIROGIANNIS Approved as to style and content by: John Spraggon, Chair L. Joe Moffitt, Member Barry C. Field, Member John Baffes, Member Julie Caswell, Department Head Department of Resource Economics DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the people who lost their lives during the August 2007 wildfires in Greece. May the country never again see the face of such a tragedy that will claim the lives of so many. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have always been a firm believer of chance. And it is chance that gave birth to this project. The topic of the master’s thesis at hand was conceived over a cup of coffee at the World Bank headquarters in Washington D.C. It was the idea of Dr. John Baffes, a senior economist at the Bank. His support throughout the process of the research and particularly the field work was critical. Without his encouragement, chances are that I would have packed up and headed back to the States after the first 10 days on the field. Instead I stayed for 10 weeks. The project would have never started let alone been completed if it wasn’t for the support, help and continuous contributions of Christina Tsimi, MSc, a good friend and Geographical Informations System (GIS) specialist.
