1978 to 2018 40 YEARS of EPHESOS MUSEUM VIENNA in December 2018, the Ephesos Museum Celebrates Both Its Fortieth Birthday and It 1978 TO 2018 40 YEARS OF EPHESOS MUSEUM VIENNA In December 2018, the Ephesos Museum celebrates both its fortieth birthday and its reopening after having been closed to the public for over a year. The new installation now incorporates a second plateau-gallery, where magnificent examples of late-classical portraiture, public sculptures and a series of ancient polychrome marble columns are displayed. For the first time, the Ephesos Museum will also showcase panels from the impressive Heroon of Trysa. The entire frieze from the enclosure wall of this large tomb from Lycia (Asia Minor) has survived. Rightly regarded as a unique highlight of late-classical art, it combines mythological images with scenes from the life of the ruler buried here. Because of its size, the monument has never been properly displayed, and the showcased relief panels function as a preview. The adaptation of the galleries now housing the House of Austrian History will hopefully soon allow us to exhibit the entire frieze, fulfilling a decades-old desideratum. In addition, the Ephesos Museum can now display the Hera of Ephesus, on permanent loan from the Academy of Fine Arts. The new comprehensive and didactic installation devised in collaboration with the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAI) presents recent findings and research. HISTORY OF THE EXCAVATIONS AT EPHESUS The study of the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations in Asia Minor as important precursors of modern Europe became a focal point for Austrian archaeology in the late nineteenth cen tury. In 1873 and 1875, the University of Vienna undertook two campaigns in the sanctuary of the mystery cult on the Greek island of Samothrace, where the celebrated Winged Victory of Samothrace (today Paris, Musée du Louvre) had recently been found. In 1881, Austrian archaeologists rediscovered the Heroon of Trysa whose elaborate reliefs make this grand funerary monument in Lycia (southwest Turkey) a highpoint of late-classical art. Excavations at Ephesus, situated on the west coast of Turkey, began in 1895. Founded in 1898, the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAI) continues to excavate and study the ancient metropolis, one of the foremost cities of the ancient world and home to the Artemision, the sanctuary and temple of the goddess Artemis and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Ephesus in Austria These late-nineteenth century campaigns were sanctioned by the Ottoman government, who issued a fiat permitting the export of some of the finds to Austria. This is why sculptures, building components and small artefacts from Samothrace, Trysa and Ephesus are now in Vienna – those from Ephesus were actually a gift from the Sultan to Emperor Franz Joseph. They were incorporated into the imperial collection, from which evolved the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna’s Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities. The Ephesos Museum at Neue Burg Long in a storage depot and then provisionally displayed, the newly installed Ephesos Museum at Neue Burg was opened in 1978. Enlarged and partially adapted in 2018, it now offers fascinating insights into the civilizations that flowered for centuries at these three seminal ancient sites.

  • The Phokikon and the Hero Archegetes (Plate54)
    THE PHOKIKON AND THE HERO ARCHEGETES (PLATE54) A SHORT DISTANCE WEST of the Boiotian town of Chaironeia the Sacred Way I Lcrossed the border into Phokis. The road went past Panopeus and on toward Daulis before turning south toward the Schiste Odos and, eventually, Delphi (Fig. 1). To reach the famous crossroads where Oidipos slew his father, the Sacred Way first had to pass through the valley of the Platanias River. In this valley, on the left side of the road, was the federal meeting place of the Phokians, the Phokikon.1 This is one of the few civic buildings from antiquity whose internal layout is described by an eyewitness.2 Pausanias says, Withrespect to size the buildingis a largeone, and withinit thereare columnsstanding along its length; steps ascend from the columnsto each wall, and on these steps the delegatesof the Phokianssit. At the far end there are neithercolumns nor steps, but a statuegroup of Zeus, Athena, and Hera; the statueof Zeus is enthroned,flanked by the goddesses,with the statueof Athenastanding on the left (1O.5.2).3 Frazersuggested that the interior of the building resembledthe Thersilion at Megalopolis.4 The location of a federal assembly hall so close to the border with Boiotia, an often hostile neighbor, seems puzzling, but given the shape of the entire territory of Phokis, the position of the Phokikonmakes sense (Fig. 2). As Philippson noted, "Die antike Landschaft Phokis ist nicht nattirlichbegrenzt und kein geographisch einheitliches Gebiet."5 Ancient Phokis was dominated by Mount Parnassos, and the Phokians inhabited two distinct 1 An earlier draft of this paper was delivered at the 92nd Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America (San Francisco 1990; abstract, AJA 1991, pp.

  • Tine Statue of Athena in the Parthenon
    REMARKS UPON THE COLOSSALCHRYSELEPHAN- TINE STATUE OF ATHENA IN THE PARTHENON INTRODUCTION IT is not to be expectedthat even fragmentsof the gold and ivory colossal statue of Athena in the Parthenon should have survived the ravages of time. However, a good deal is known about the statue from small copies in the round and from coins, plaques, gems and the like; also, the famous statue is mentioned by ancient writers, sometimes at considerable length. Consequently we have a fairly good idea of her appearance. And when we come to consider the pedestal on which the statue stood, we find that there are data which can be studied to advantage. Obviously the importance of the statue called for a carefully designed pedestal. Thus it is desirable that all existing data concerning the pedestal be recorded. Let us, then, make a few remarks not only about the colossal statue, but also about the pedestal on which the statue stood. I ATHENA PARTHENOS, THE CLIMAX OF THE PANATHENEA Figure 1 shows the position of the colossal statue (often referred to as the Parthenos) in the east cella of the temple. The blocks which give the position of the statue are toward the west end of the nave and on the axis of the temple. They are poros blocks of the type used for foundations. They are flush with the marble pave- ment of the nave, and they are in situ. The poros blocks, thirty in number, cover an area so extensive that they at once tell us that the statue which stood above them was of colossal size (Figs.

  • The City of Corinth and Its Domestic Religion
    THE CITY OF CORINTH AND ITS DOMESTICRELIGION (PLATES 87-90) A LTHOUGH much attention has been devoted to Greek religion, most of the em- phasis has been upon majorgods and goddesses. Informationis readily availablein ancient official or state records and inscriptions, or by interpretationof sanctuaryarti- facts and architecture.Much less information is available for the understandingof the humbler aspects of religion as practicedalong the byways and in the neighborhoodsof the urbancenters of Greece. To judge by such descriptionsas Pausanias'enumeration of the hero shrines found throughout the city of Sparta,1by such archaeologicalremains as the street shrines and altars at the entrances of houses in Delos2 and by Wycherley's study for Athens,3 to use three examples, one suspects that small neighborhoodshrines were commonly scattered throughout many Greek cities, even though they appearin different forms in different places. Little literarytestimony and even less epigraphicalevidence exist for neighborhood and domestic religion at Corinth, as contrasted with official or public religion. Still one is able by examinationof the archaeologicalremains to present a reasonablepicture of a pre-RomanCorinth studded with numerous neighborhood shrines of various sorts and with still others within the houses themselves. One type of shrine is that set in the open, along a roadwayor in a small open-air temenos, picturedcommonly on reliefs of the Hellenistic period.4The sacred areas are marked by statues raised high on tall shafts. Such shrines appear not to have been uncommon in Corinth. Two tall shafts with cuttings on their tops for statues are pre- I Pausanias,III. 12-16. 2p.

  • Visualisation and Perception. Ephesos As a Modern Construct
    Visualisation and Perception. Ephesos as a Modern Construct ILIE-IULIAN GANCIU and BARBARA RANKL, University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austrian Archaeological Institute, Austria JASMIN SCHEIFINGER, University of Vienna, Austrian Archaeological Institute, Austria The ruins of Ephesos were never completely covered by soil, and since their rediscovery extensive research and rebuilding activities have taken place. The UNESCO-World Heritage Site not only attracts millions of visitors every year but also represents an important centre of archaeological, conservation scientific, and heritage study research. The Ephesos of today is nevertheless not simply preserved, but instead is rather artificially created. This paper presents a part of the ongoing research project “Construct and agency. The various stories of Ephesos”, which focuses on the fundamental reasons for the image of Ephesos as it is presented today. The research explores which parameters constitute or define the way the site is represented, and how and why this changed in the course of its long period of research. It questions the way the construct and agency of Ephesos are influencing the image of the site. Would this make the ancient life history of this archaeological site no longer disconnected from that of the archaeological park, but rather be understood as an artistic synthesis? The differentiated approaches to reconstruction of ancient ruins and their effect on the legibility of the site will be dealt with, as well as new methods in visualisation and issues concerning the commercialisation of heritage for mass tourism. Key words: Ephesos, heritage management, reconstruction, archaeological prospection, conservation science. CHNT Reference: Ilie-Iulian Ganciu, Barbara Rankl, and Jasmin Scheifinger.
