  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

  • The Great Inscription, Its Political and Social Institutions and the Common Institutions of the Cretans
    Originalveroffentlichung in: E. Greco - M. Lombardo (eds.), La Grande Iscrizione di Gortyna. Centoventi anni dopo la scoperta. Atti del I Convegno Internazionale di Studi sulla Messara, Athen 2005, S. 175-194 THE GREAT INSCRIPTION, ITS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE COMMON INSTITUTIONS OF THE CRETANS IS THERE SUCH AS THING AS CRETAN NOMIMA? METHODOLOGICAL CON­ SIDERATIONS In the eighth and seventh centuries Crete had been one of the most advanced regions in Greece. The Cretans adopted the alphabet very early; Cretan artists played a leading part in the development of Greek art, espe­ cially in the fields of metallurgy and stone sculpture; in the early seventh century they participated in colonisation, founding Gela together with the Rhodians; the Homeric hymn to Apollo associates the Cretans with the foundation of the sanctuary at Delphi. It is in this period of cosmopoli­ tanism and close contacts to the Orient, a period of a visible advance of trade, arts, and culture, that Crete seems to petrify. From the late seventh century onwards trade and arts do not disappear, but they certainly lost the innovative power they had had; the Cretan institutions do not keep pace with the developments in the rest of Greece; and although Crete was never isolated from the rest of Greece, its contacts with other Greek areas in the sixth and fifth centuries were not impressive. The decline of Crete as a cul­ tural pioneer in the Greek world goes hand in hand with the rise of its fame as a model of law and order. The Cretans did not any longer produce impressive works of art, but they produced more legal inscriptions than the 1 rest of Greece taken together.

  • Reconstructions in Interpreting Ancient Greek Experience of Ritual Spaces
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 540–552 Original Study Efrosyni Boutsikas* The Contribution of ‘Total Environment’ Reconstructions in Interpreting Ancient Greek Experience of Ritual Spaces https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0033 Received April 1, 2019; accepted November 9, 2019 Abstract: The temple of Epikourean Apollo in Bassae has long been suspected to have been constructed with astronomical considerations, aimed at influencing ancient religious experience. The study presented here involves the use of Virtual Reality software to reconstruct the temple in its original position and orientation, combined with an accurate reconstruction of the sun’s position during the Classical period. The aim is to test the hypothesis of deliberate solar considerations associated with the temple’s east entrance. The reconstruction also discusses the application of Virtual Reality Models (VRM) and their potential impact on understanding ancient spatial movement and memory, emotionality and cognition. In addition, it explores the possibility of ancient natural light manipulation in enhancing experience of religious architecture. This paper not only presents the first VRM of Apollo’s temple, but also a model with an accurate reconstruction of the sun’s position at specific moments in the year. The importance of such reconstructions in understanding religious experience is exemplified. A great deal is revealed about the proposed solar effect in relation to human observation, and the connotations of such an effect in specific religious contexts. This study could facilitate discussion on the contribution of digital technology in understanding ancient Greek ritual experience. Keywords: Virtual Reality Modelling, Apollo Epikourios Bassae, Greek religion, ancient astronomy, light in archaeology 1 Introduction We tend to investigate ancient sites from above.

  • Water Management and Its Judicial Contexts in Ancient Greece: a Review from the Earliest Times to the Roman Period
    1 Water Management and its Judicial Contexts in Ancient Greece: A Review from the Earliest Times to the Roman Period Jens Krasilnikoff1 and Andreas N. Angelakis2 1 Department of History and Classical Studies, School of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark; [email protected] 2 Institute of Crete, National Foundation for Agricultural Research (N.AG.RE.F.), 71307 Iraklion and Hellenic Union of Municipal Enterprises for Water Supply and Sewerage, Larissa, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: Ancient Greek civilizations developed technological solutions to problems of access to and disposal of water but this prompted the need to take judicial action. This paper offers an overview of the judicial implications of Ancient civilizations developments or adaptations of technological applications aimed at exploiting natural resources. Thus, from the earliest times, Greek societies prepared legislation to solve disputes, define access to the water resources, and regulate waste- and storm-water disposal. On the one hand, evidence suggests that from the Archaic through the Hellenistic periods (ca. 750-30 BC), scientific progress was an important agent in the development of water management in some ancient Greek cities including institutional and regulations issues. In most cities, it seems not to have been a prerequisite in relation to basic agricultural or household requirements. Previous studies suggest that judicial insight rather than practical knowledge of basic water management became a vital part of how socio-political and religious organizations dealing with water management functioned. The evidence indicate an interest in institutional matters, but in some instances also in the day-to-day handling of water issues.

  • Orientations of Thirteen Apollo´S Temples: a Gnomonic Perspective
    Annals of Archaeology Volume 1, Issue 1, PP 1-12 Orientations of Thirteen Apollo´s Temples: A Gnomonic Perspective Raul Perez-Enriquez1, Papaspirou Panagiotis2, Xenophon Moussas3 1Departamento de Fisica, Universidad de Sonora, Hermosillo, Mexico 2Department of Astrophysics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece 3Department of Astrophysics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece *Corresponding Author: Raul Perez-Enriquez, Departamento de Fisica, Universidad de Sonora, Hermosillo, Mexico, [email protected] ABSTRACT Apollo, the Sun God, is one of the most prominent deities in the Ancient Greek religion. The temples and the oracles dedicated to the cult of Apollo correlate the selection of their geographical site with their special orientation, as based on ancient astronomical practices of symbolic and ritual importance. By studying the Ancient Greek temples, as for example the temples of Apollo, various researchers in the field of Archaeoastronomy, as for example, Ranieri discovered their special, non-random orientation. In this paper the special orientations of thirteen temples of Apollo are studied by the application of a novel criterion, the criterion of the platonic gnomonic factor (fgp). The majority of the temples have special arithmetic values of their corresponding fgp, and this result leads us to suggest a hypothetical application of a methodology, relating to the value of the gnomonic factor and the orientation of the temple; implemented at the time of the definition of its construction. We find that for six out of thirteen temples of Apollo, a correlation between the gnomonic factors implied by the site selected for them, their specific orientation as well as the size of their basement, exists.

DNINE MADNESS AND CONFLICT AT DELPID Orgiastikos, orgasmos, orgastes were secondary formations from orgia. Orgia originally conveyed a neutral meaning describing the cultic dromena, that is calm, unexcited ritual and sacrifice1. Notions of wild, ecstatic performances orgia acquired later when associated with a particular kind of cult. From the 6th century B.e. the word assumed the status of a technical term to describe the 'private' dromena of Demeter's Eleusinian Mysteries, and in particular the mystic rites of Bacchus which provided the route of the word's semantic development2. The mystery movement in the Greek world was an archaic phenomenon, it was then that the special rites of Dionysus began to spring into prominence reflecting the contemporary urge for spiritual union with the divine. Mystery religions had a common factor with inspirational oracles which also belonged to the archaic age rather than to prehistoric times. Inspiration, even enthusiasmos, but not divine or human frenzy : that came later and not before the end of the 5th century B.e.3 Plato defined oracular together with poetic frenzy as forms of mania : for him mantike and manike were etymologically identical4.

Classical 'naturalism' is characterizedas an artisticlanguage with a heightenedcapacity for the appropriation of natural bodilyresponses - partlygiven in universalprocesses of maturation, partly socially specific to the codificationof suchmaturational processes according to therole system of ancient Greek society - inthe construction ofaffective commitment tosocial roles defined and validated within Greek myth andreligious culture.
