  • Greek Mythology at the Service of the Portuguese Inquisition: the Case of Hercules and the Hydra of Lerna
    Athens Journal of Mediterranean Studies- Volume 1, Issue 1 – Pages 25-44 Greek Mythology at the Service of the Portuguese Inquisition: The Case of Hercules and the Hydra of Lerna By Milton Dias Pacheco Greek mythology has been along the centuries a fruitful source of inspiration to artists and writers, as it possesses the strength of expressing symbolically the most common circumstances of life. Regarding the threats that in every age put in danger human life the most popular figure was maybe the Hydra that infested the region of the Lake of Lerna, in Argolis. This mythical figure may still have an older origin as it is connected with chthonic dangers. Because of its terrifying aspect, reptilian traits and poisonous breath, it was related to the evil and the domains of Hell. Later the Hydra significance became larger and deeper as it represented the heresies that could affect the Christian orthodoxy. According to this point of view, every defender of the Catholic Faith was immediately compared to Hercules, the Greek hero who succeeded in killing the mythological Hydra monster. In this way, it is easy to understand why this representation was often used in connection with the Iberian Habsburg Kings, as it worked as a political strategy of this dynasty, in which the Spanish Habsburgs were faced as the guardians and defenders of the Church of Rome, mainly in times when the Inquisition developed a determinative role. An illustrative example of this was the decoration of the arch built by the Inquisition in Lisbon, when King Philip II of Portugal visited the Portuguese Empire capital.

  • Mycenaean Lerna
    MYCENAEAN LERNA (PLATES 17-3 1) T HE EXCAVATIONOF ANCIENT LERNA, south of the village ofMyloi, on the west shore of the Argive Gulf, was conducted between 1952 and 1958 under the general direction of John L. Caskey, then Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.' The My- cenaean finds from Lerna are stored in the ArchaeologicalMuseum at Argos. A few of them are on display in the exhibition room devoted to Lerna. Most of the records on the Lerna excavations are kept at Dartmouth College; some, including photocopies, are kept in Argos or at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. The site of Lerna (Fig. 1) was occupied continuously from Early Neolithic times into the Late Bronze Age. The general appearance of the area in the Late Bronze Age, after extensive erosion and consequent deposition of alluvium in the eastern part of the plain during the Early Helladic (EH) period, seems to be little changed today. At that time, however, the shallow Lake Lerna existed to the north of the site, and the seacoast lay closer to the site of Tiryns.2 Evidence for the Mycenaean occupation of Lerna (Lerna VII), after the period of the Lerna shaft graves (Lerna VI), comes chiefly from the trenches in Area D on the northeastern side of the mound, in an area measuring roughly twenty meters by ten meters. The work here was begun in 1952 with a trial trench and continued with more extensive excavation in 1953 and 1954. The center of the mound had been heavily eroded and its post-Middle Helladic (MH) strata largely lost, aside from the two shaft graves and other burials of that period.3 (t should be noted that only about one-seventh of the entire surface of the mound was excavated.) Trial trench C, just northwest of the main area and high in the center of the mound, produced a few Late Helladic (LH) I-II sherds in disturbed surface lots4 but nothing later.

  • 2015 Summer Tour Itinerary
    2015 Summer Tour Itinerary MAY 20-JUNE 11, 2015 KORINTH, ISTHMIA, NEMEA, NAUPLION, MYCENAE, EPIDAURUS, OLYMPIA, DELPHI, THE ISLAND OF SAMOS, SELÇUK (ON TURKEY'S AEGEAN COAST), AND ATHENS Offered by Professor Michael Taber [This itinerary was created in consultation with our long-time Athenian travel agents Educational Tours and Cruises.] The itinerary for the Greece Study Tour for summer 2015 (23 days; 22 nights, including one on the flight to Greece) is divided into two portions: • A stay of 7 nights in the small city of Korinth • A circuit tour of 6 stops (over the succeeding 14 nights) on a chartered, air-conditioned coach and via ferry, with nights spent in Nauplio, Olympia, Delphi, the island of Samos, the Turkish town of Selçuk, and Athens This division allows students to acclimate themselves to Greek ways and the Greek language in the context of a slower paced town than, say, Athens. The Greeks to this day take an ancient pride in ensuring that guests leave with warm memories, and such heartfelt hospitality is to be treated as itself a gift, graciously, without any hint of the international stereotype of the ugly American. The Turks likewise take pride in their hospitality, and the Selçuk region is a popular stop for cruise ships in the Mediterranean, and for boat trips from Samos, which is a Greek island only a mile off Turkey's Aegean coast. To be able to spend two days in Turkey will deepen travelers' appreciation for the eastern Mediterranean. And like the Greeks, the Turks do like Americans--even if they don't always agree with the policies of the U.S.
