In addition to being available in many libraries throughout the world, Scholia has been gradually making its volumes available electronically through various periodical agencies. While it has been available for a number of years through ProQuest (USA), EBSCO (USA) and Informit (Australia), it has recently been archived in Sabinet (South Africa) along with the contents of Scholia Reviews. Since its inception Scholia not only has been indexed and abstracted in L’Année Philologique (France) but also indexed in Gnomon (Germany) and TOCS-IN (Canada). Information about Scholia can be found at http://www.otago.ac.nz/classics/scholia, while information about and the contents of Scholia Reviews can be accessed at http://www.classics.ukzn.ac.za/reviews. While each volume of Scholia always contains articles and reviews by scholars in several countries on different continents, this volume is different in that the main articles are entirely by scholars in Australasia. The broad scope of scholarly articles published by Scholia is evident in the main articles in this volume dealing with the Athenian Anthesteria, Homeric epic, Augustan and post-Augustan literature, Roman sculpture, the orations of Julian, and Nonnian epic.3 The In the Museum section features an article on a marble head in the Otago Museum, Dunedin by Robert Hannah, who is the Honorary Curator of the Classical Collections in the Museum.4 The title of this volume’s J.

  • French and Greek Lithographs from the Greek War of Independence (1821–1827) and the Greek-Italian War (1940–1941) Anna Efstathiadou
    Representing Greekness: French and Greek Lithographs from the Greek War of Independence (1821–1827) and the Greek-Italian War (1940–1941) Anna Efstathiadou Abstract Popular lithographs produced by French and Greek artists during the Greek War of Independence (1821–1827) and the Greek-Italian War (1940–1941) quite often overstated elements of Greek national identity with a focus on classical antiquity and Byzantine Orthodoxy. This is a comparative study of how Greeks and Greece have been represented through the following two col- lections of the National Historical Museum in Athens: popular lithographs produced, printed, and distributed by French artists in France at the peak of the Philhellenic movement; and those produced by Greek artists in Greece dur- ing the Second World War (1940–1941). Although produced more than one hundred years apart and under very different circumstances, popular imagery created by Philhellenes in France during the 1820s and Greek artists under the Metaxas regime in 1940–1941 remains a valuable historical record that helps us explore how popular representations of Greek national identity and the notion of Greece can be adopted and appropriated in a variety of ways based on who is using them and for what purpose. The German Alois Senefeld invented lithography in 1798, printing, from a stone block onto paper, black-and-white artworks or illustrations. It was and still is a rather “economical means of creating or reproducing works of art” and it is characterized by the vividness and intensity of forms and colors that aim to appeal to emotion, to inform about current events and ultimately to be sold at a low cost directly to the public (Gustafson 2006:26).

  • A History of the Greek Colony of Corsica'
    A History of the Greek Colony of Corsica' by NICK NICHOLAS 1. MIGRATIONS FROM MANI The peninsula of Mani in the Southern Peloponnesus enjoys renown within Greek culture disproportionate to its size. Mani to this day has the reputation of being a wild, lawless place, ridden with vendettas between the region's conflicting clans and bristling with guns. Since the clan rather than the village has been the cen- tral component of Maniot social identity, especially in the more conservative Inner (South-western) Mani (Alexakis 1980), conflict between clans has long been a characteristic of the region. Mani remained fiercely autonomous during the periods of nominal Venetian and Ottoman overlordship. In fact, even the newly estab- lished Greek state found it difficult to establish centralised control over the area: King Otto's regency was obliged to use bribery where regiments failed, and the Greek state was obliged to inter- vene militarily in local feuds as late as 1870 (Fermor 1956:97; Greenhalgh & Eliopoulos 1985:36). Feuds between clans were often resolved through the migra- tion of the vanquished; Fermor (1956:93) estimates over fifty Maniot villages were founded this way. Both migration and clan conflict were tied up with the lack of arable land in Mani (Alex- akis 1980:103)—although this was more the case in Inner Mani than elsewhere, and the villages of Outer (North-western) Mani NICK NICHOLAS is a Technical Officer in the School of Languages, The University of Melbourne, and a research associate of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae project, at the University of California, Irvine.

  • The Western Question in Greece and Turkey
    THE WESTERN QUESTION IN GREECE AND TURKEY A STUDY IN THE CONTACT OF CIVILISATIONS BY ARNOLD J. TOYNBEE ‘For we are also His offspring’ CONSTABLE AND COMPANY LTD LONDON · BOMBAY · SYDNEY 1922 TO THE PRESIDENT AND FACULTY OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE FOR GIRLS AT CONSTANTINOPLE THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR AND HIS WIFE IN GRATITUDE FOR THEIR HOSPITALITY AND IN ADMIRATION OF THEIR NEUTRAL-MINDEDNESS IN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH NEUTRALITY IS ‘HARD AND RARE’ PREFACE THIS book is an attempt to place certain recent events in the Near and Middle East in their historical setting, and to illustrate from them several new features of more enduring importance than the events themselves. It is not a discussion of what the peace-settlement in the East ought to be, for the possibility of imposing a cut-and-dried scheme, if it ever really existed, was destroyed by the landing of the Greek troops at Smyrna in May 1919. At any rate, from that moment the situation resolved itself into a conflict of forces beyond control; the Treaty of Sèvres was still-born; and subsequent conferences and agreements, however imposing, have had and are likely to have no more than a partial and temporary effect. On the other hand, there have been real changes in the attitude of the Western public towards their Governments’ Eastern policies, which have produced corresponding changes in those policies themselves; and the Greeks and Turks have appeared in unfamiliar roles. The Greeks have shown the same unfitness as the Turks for governing a mixed population. The Turks, in their turn, have become exponents of the political nationalism of the West.

  • Developing Identities Within Roman Iberia: Hybridity, Urbanism, and Economics in Southern Iberia in the Second and First Centuries Bc
    DEVELOPING IDENTITIES WITHIN ROMAN IBERIA: HYBRIDITY, URBANISM, AND ECONOMICS IN SOUTHERN IBERIA IN THE SECOND AND FIRST CENTURIES BC BY PHILLIP JAMES MYERS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Classics, Ancient History, and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of identities within Iberia during the Roman conquest of the peninsula through the lens of cultural hybridism, urbanism and economic changes. The aim is to explore how local Iberian communities evolved culturally through centuries of pre-Roman contact, and how these interactions fuelled later adaptations to Roman rule. Iberian communities, within this context, did not simply ‘become Roman’ but many acculturation theories have struggled to create alternatives to the ‘Romanization’ model successfully. While ‘Romanization’ is clearly problematic, this thesis will challenge and adapt several acculturation models to explore the visibility of cultural hybridity within ‘Roman’ and Iberian communities, and alternatively suggest the emergence of a pan-Mediterranean cultural background.

  • Greece Was Only Peripherally Involved in the Napoleonic Wars, but One Episode Had Important Consequences
    Greece was only peripherally involved in the Napoleonic Wars, but one episode had important consequences. When the French under Napoleon Bonaparte seized Venice in 1797, they also acquired the Ionian Islands. The islands were elevated to the status of a French dependency called the Septinsular Republic, which possessed local autonomy. This was the first time Greeks had governed themselves since the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Among those who held office in the islands was John Capodistria, destined to become independent Greece's first head of state. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Greece had re-emerged from its centuries of isolation. British and French writers and artists began to visit the country, and wealthy Europeans began to collect Greek antiquities. These "philhellenes" were to play an important role in mobilizing support for Greek independence. Reign of King Othon (Otto) (1833–1863) When the 17-year-old Bavarian Prince Otto was installed by the London Conference of 1832 as King of Greece, he adopted the Greek name Othon. His troubled reign lasted for 30 years before he and his wife Queen Amalia left the way they came, aboard a British warship. During the early years of his reign a group of Bavarian Regents ruled in his name, and made themselves very unpopular by trying to impose German ideas of rigid hierarchical government on the Greeks. Nevertheless they laid the foundations of a Greek administration, army, justice system and education system. Othon was sincere in his desire to give Greece good government, but he suffered from two great handicaps.
