It was just good enough for Jupiter and his gigantic temple. For columns that were 18 metres high the architects needed no more than three drums each; they measured 2.2 metres in diameter. The tem- ple podium is constructed of colossal lime- stone blocks that fit precisely together. The upper layer of the podium, today called the "trilithon", was never completed. Weighing up to 1,000 tons, these blocks are the big- gest known megaliths in history.

  • The Mural Paintings of Protaton Church from Mount Athos
    European Journal of Science and Theology, February 2020, Vol.16, No.1, 199-206 _______________________________________________________________________ THE MURAL PAINTINGS OF PROTATON CHURCH FROM MOUNT ATHOS Petru Sofragiu* Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, 9 Cloșca, Iasi, 700065, Romania (Received 24 September 2019, revised 13 November 2019) Abstract This paper focuses on the study of the Church of the Protaton in Karyes, the most representative monument of Holy Mount Athos. Its mural paintings, which show examples of Byzantine Art and date back to the Paleologan period (the 19th century), have been preserved until today. They were attributed to Manuel Panselinos, the founder of the Macedonian School of painting, who also frescoed numerous churches in Macedonia and Medieval Serbia. The analysis of the stylistic elements, iconographic themes and their theological significance has surely given us the opportunity to take a deeper insight into the artistic background of this amazing painter who mastered the monumental compositions of the Church of the Protaton. The study aims at highlighting both the similarities and the differences in Panselinos’ masterpieces and the monuments decorated by the proud disciples of this top master in Thessaloniki, who remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for future generations of artists. Keywords: Protaton, Karyes, Paleologan period, Panselinos 1. Introduction - brief history of the Protaton Church Near the centre of Athos Peninsula, it is located city of Karyes, which is the capital of Mount Athos. Founded in the 9th century, its name derives from the walnut trees (karyai), which abound in this region even from Antiquity, where the sanctuary of goddess Artemis is also located [1].

  • What Role and Perspectives for Africa's Social Economy to Cope with The
    From Austerity to Growth and Recovery: Overcoming the Socio-Economic Consequences of Greece's Crisis SPEECH by Mr Luca JAHIER President of Group III 'Various Interests' of the European Economic and Social Committee INAUGURAL SESSION 20 March 2014 EN R - 1 - Your Excellencies Distinguished guests Dear friends and colleagues, It truly is a great pleasure, personally and for all members of the Various Interests Group of the European Economic and Social Committee, to be here with you today in Athens and in this exquisite building of the Zappeion Megaron. There are not many occasions in life where one can be so close to History: here we are looking out to the Parthenon, whilst standing in the Zappeion, this monument which represents the revival of those Athenian values in modern-time Greece. For the Zappeion Megaron was constructed in the 19th century to exhibit Greek art and industry during the modern Olympiads, a sort of precursor to the current Acropolis museum. The Zappeion was also the venue for the signature of the accession treaty of Greece to the EU in 1981. Hence the continuity. Indeed in Greece 'History' is inescapable, we are imbued with its memory, we are graced by its wisdom and we are humbled by its responsibility. And Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of Memory and Remembrance is also the goddess who invented words and gave humans the skill of language: to always remember our common European history and our common aspirations. Did not the French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing say in 1979 that "Europe without Greece is simply not Europe"? So today in the 6th year of the crisis, we are still united by our common quest for a sustainable, ambitious and cohesive Europe which responds to the needs of its citizens.

MUSEUM international | 21 he visitor to the new Acropolis Museum in Athens, climbing to the up- per floor and passing through the exhibition gallery door to an all-glass space flooded with natural light, is suddenly awestruck by the breathtak- ing view of the Parthenon rising up above the surrounding city (Fig. 1). Enjoying the holistic experience inspired by the natural and cultural landscape, the viewer is unaware of past controversies about the mu- seum’s location, and is certain that is the right place to be for anyone wishing to admire the ancient monument together with its architectur- al sculptures.
