The 7th Joint International Session for Presidents of Directors of NOAs and Officials of NOCs was held at the IOA premises in Ancient Olympia from 22nd to 29th April 2004 and the special subject of the Session was “Cultural aspects of Olympism”. There were 88 participants from 58 NOAs and 25 NOCs. In addition, 6 lecturers were invited (2 women and 4 men) as well as 4 guests (3 women and 1 man). The lecturers were the following eminent personalities: Mr Yannis Pyrgiotis, Dr Kostas Georgiadis, Prof. Dr Roy Panagiotopoulou, Prof. James A. Ajala, Mr Ah Tok Chua, Mrs Nicole Girard-Savoy and Mr Petros Linardos. The lecturers presented the relationship between Olympism and Culture and discussed on the regional and universal dimension of Olympism and its contribution to the cultural development of nations. They also covered the administrational structure of the IOC and Sports in general. For the fifth consecutive time, the Session was broadcasted through the Internet. Hundreds of young people and researchers from various parts of the world had the opportunity to follow the works of the Session, make comments and ask questions to the lecturers directly. During the Session 21 short presentations on behalf of the National Olympic Academies were presented dealing with the work and the activities of the NOAs during the previous year. It is remarkable the fact that many NOAs have undertaken important educational activities. In addition, 7 discussion groups were created, 5 English-speaking and 2 French-speaking. In collaboration with the 12 coordinators (7 men, 5 women), the participants discussed on the relation between - 9 - sports and culture, the cultural parameters of the Olympic Games in relation to each Organizing Committee and country, the cultural activities in the framework of the works of the NOAs and the educational importance of individual and team sports. The outstanding conclusions of the discussion groups will definitely contribute to the further development of the programmes on Olympic Education all over the world. During the Session were announced the results of the Olympic Literary Competition, a new institution established, decreed with the initiative of the IOA President, Dr Nikos FILARETOS. Contestants from 17 countries took part in the competition. The first prize was awarded to the NOA of Mauritius and the second prize to the NOAs of New Zealand and Indonesia. The 12th International Seminar on Olympic Studies for Postgraduate Students was held at the IOA premises in Ancient Olympia from 10th June to 10th July 2004 and the special topic of the Seminar was: Olympic Games: Cultural and Ethical Parameters. Thirty-seven students, nineteen women and eighteen men from twenty-eight countries participated in the Seminar. Ten university professors: Nigel Crowther, Emmanuel Mikrogiannakis, Karl Lennartz, Otto Schantz, Klaus Heinemann, Susan Brownell, Gertrud Pfister, Marc Maes, Jim Parry and Kostas Georgiadis, supervised the works of the Seminar and four guest professors: Christina Koulouri, Athanassios Kriemadis, Ioannis Papaioannou, Dimitrios Panagiotopoulos, gave lectures. The four units of the works of the Seminar were: a) history and philosophy of the ancient Olympic Games, b) history of the modern Olympic Games, c) political-social and educational parameters of the modern Olympic Games and d) philosophy and ethics in the modern Olympic Movement. The students presented 36 interesting scientific projects. The students attended on a daily basis all the works and activities of the Academies. Within the framework of their education, they visited the Acropolis, the Panathenaikon Stadium and the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and the archaeological sites of Nemea, Isthmia, Epidaurus, Epikourios Apollon, Olympia and Delphi. The level of the works was once more, very high and the conclusions of the projects were presented in the end of the seminar. Students from Israel, Malaisia, New Zealand, Nicaragua and Serbia- - 10 - Montenegro participated in the seminar for the first time. Moreover, eleven from the students participated in the examination programme, which is carried out in collaboration with the University of Loughborough, United Kingdom, so as to gather 30 credits for their Master’s programme in the respective University. Due to the Athens 2004 Olympic Games the duration of the Seminar was reduced from 40 to 30 days. Thus, the lessons were very intensive and the programme rather heavy. Nevertheless, the works of the Seminar were held with great success. Many of the students remained in Greece in order to help with the organization of the Games as volunteers or from other positions or just to attend the whole venture. The Postgraduate Seminar has gained enormous prestige in international level. Therefore, more and more students from all over the world desire to participate in its works. Both the professors and the students expressed their high satisfaction for their participation in the seminar and for the academic level of the studies of the seminar. It is certain that they are going to convey their experiences and knowledge to the place where they work. The Olympic movement could in future rely on those young scientists, so as to promote its educational values in the best possible way. In conclusion, we would like to express our thanks to everyone who has contributed, in any capacity, to the IOA’s Sessions and the effectiveness of its work. Dr Kostas GEORGIADIS IOA Dean - 11 - INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY 7TH JOINT INTERNATIONAL SESSION FOR PRESIDENTS OR DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMIES AND OFFICIALS OF NATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEES SPECIAL SUBJECT: CULTURAL ASPECTS OF OLYMPISM 22 – 29 APRIL 2004 ANCIENT OLYMPIA CULTURAL AND POLITICAL PARAMETERS OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES OF ATHENS IN 1896 Dr Kostas GEORGIADIS (GRE) The organization of the Zappia - Olympia athletic competitions, which were the National Olympic Games in Athens (1859, 1870, 1875, 1888/89), had appropriately prepared the ideological base in Greece for the undertaking of the organization of the first International Olympic Games in 1896. On a national level, during that particular period of time, it is obvious that Greek people searched for the most suitable mechanisms to support the newly established state and the country’s cultural, economical and political recovery continued to constitute a concern of primary importance. Sports, as a movement, were not particularly developed in Greece, with the exception of some individual efforts to support them. The interest for the idea of the Olympic Games derived mainly from the desire to achieve political aims and not because the social contribution of sports was highly appreciated. The determination of the date for the Olympic Games demonstrates undoubtedly their

  • 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.

  • The Date of the First Pythiad-Again Alden A
    MOSSHAMMER, ALDEN A., The Date of the First Pythiad - Again , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 23:1 (1982:Spring) p.15 The Date of the First Pythiad-Again Alden A. Mosshammer OST HISTORIANS have long agreed that the first in the regular M series of Pythian festivals celebrated every four years at Del­ phi took place in 58211. Now H. C. Bennett and more re­ cently S. G. Miller have argued that we should instead follow Pausa­ nias in dating the first Pythiad to 586/5, because the Pindaric scho­ liasts, they maintain, reckon Pythiads from that year. 1 The debate is an old one, but it has important implications for our understanding of the sequence of events at the time of the First Sacred War. Bennett and Miller have rightly criticized the excessive claims that have been made for some of the evidence; and Miller, in particular, has offered some important new insights into the problem. The argument in favor of 58211 nevertheless remains the stronger case. It needs to be presented once again, both to take these new objections into account and to elucidate the tradition that has given rise to the debate. I. The Problem According to the Parian Marble, our earliest evidence (264/3), the Amphictyons celebrated a victory against Cirrha by dedicating a por­ tion of the spoils as prizes for a chrematitic festival celebrated in 59110, and again the games became stephani tic in 582/1. 2 Pausanias 1 H.

  • ANASTASIOS GEORGOTAS “Archaeological Tourism in Greece
    UNIVERSITY OF THE PELOPONNESE ANASTASIOS GEORGOTAS (R.N. 1012201502004) DIPLOMA THESIS: “Archaeological tourism in Greece: an analysis of quantitative data, determining factors and prospects” SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: - Assoc. Prof. Nikos Zacharias - Dr. Aphrodite Kamara EXAMINATION COMMITTEE: - Assoc. Prof. Nikolaos Zacharias - Dr. Aphrodite Kamara - Dr. Nikolaos Platis ΚΑΛΑΜΑΤΑ, MARCH 2017 Abstract . For many decades now, Greece has invested a lot in tourism which can undoubtedly be considered the country’s most valuable asset and “heavy industry”. The country is gifted with a rich and diverse history, represented by a variety of cultural heritage sites which create an ideal setting for this particular type of tourism. Moreover, the variations in Greece’s landscape, cultural tradition and agricultural activity favor the development and promotion of most types of alternative types of tourism, such as agro-tourism, religious, sports and medicinal tourism. However, according to quantitative data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority, despite the large number of visitors recorded in state-run cultural heritage sites every year, the distribution pattern of visitors presents large variations per prefecture. A careful examination of this data shows that tourist flows tend to concentrate in certain prefectures, while others enjoy little to no visitor preference. The main factors behind this phenomenon include the number and importance of cultural heritage sites and the state of local and national infrastructure, which determines the accessibility of sites. An effective analysis of these deficiencies is vital in order to determine solutions in order to encourage the flow of visitors to the more “neglected” areas. The present thesis attempts an in-depth analysis of cultural tourism in Greece and the factors affecting it.

  • MEDICINE, the MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES and PHILATELY
    MEDICINE, THE MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES and PHILATELY With the opening of the Sydney Olympic Games on September 15th, world-wide there will appear a flood of philatelic material, issued by participating and non-participating countries alike, all with an eye on their exchequers. Collectors interested in the philately of specific countries, of specific field or track events, or in the Olympic movement per sê, will clamour for the material. However, nowhere will they find a philatelic reference to the man about whom it was said "if the Olympic Games that Modern Greece has not yet been able to revive still survives today, it is due, not to a Greek, but to Dr. William Penny Brookes" (Fig.1). Dr. William Penny Brookes Born in 1809, the son of a country doctor in the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock, William Penny Brookes (1809-1895) studied medicine at Guy’s and St. Thomas’s Hospitals, London, the Sorbonne, Paris and in Padua, Italy. Returning to Much Wenlock, he became actively influential in local affairs, a Justice of the Peace, Commissioner for Road and Taxes, restored the Guild Hall and Corn Exchange, founded the Wenlock Gas Company and brought the railway to Much Wenlock and the Severn Junction. In 1850, William Penny Brookes founded the Wenlock Olympian Society, to “promote the moral, physical and intellectual movement of the inhabitants of the town ……… by the encouragement of out-door recreation and by the award of prizes annually ……… for skill in athletics, and proficiency in intellectual and industrial attainments”. The first Games was held in October 1850.
