A Guide to the Archaeological Museum of Thebes ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THEBES A GUIDE TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THEBES The history goes on... MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND SPORTS • Ephorate of Antiquities of Boeotia ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THEBES A GUIDE TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THEBES MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND SPORTS • Ephorate of Antiquities of Boeotia ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THEBES Introduction Todays’ Archaeological Museum of Thebes is the third building on this particular site to host antiquities. Its history began in 1894, when the old barracks beside the medieval tower were made available to house antiquities, mainly the sculptures and inscriptions that had been collected from all over Boeotia. In 1905, funded by the Archaeological Society at Athens, the barracks were converted into the town’s first archaeological museum, a plain, two-storey stone building of limited size. The exhibition of antiquities was organized by the archaeologist Antonios D. Keramopoullos. He, in cooperation with the British couple, archaeologists P. and A. Ure – who had recently excavated a section of the cemetery of ancient Mycalissos (today’s Ritsona) – created a museum that was pioneering for its time, presenting finds from graves in groups and not according to their artistic value, as had been the practice until then. Many emblematic figures of Greek archaeology served in that first museum, such as Nikolaos Papadakis, Christos Karouzos, Ioannis Threpsiadis and Nikolaos Platon. In 1934, Christos Karouzos wrote the first archaeological guidebook to the museum, and contributed to concealing and safeguarding its antiquities in World War II (1940-1944). After the war ended, it was realized that the old building was no longer adequate; it was demolished much later and in its place, a single-storey building was constructed with an entrance porch. Ioannis Threpsiadis undertook the task of exhibiting the antiquities in this new museum, which was inaugurated on 9 December 1962, a few months after his death. Full renovation followed, as the new museum had just a few, but very large lighted spaces. Its limited area was offset by some unique findings in its collections, such as the cylinder seals of eastern origin and the amphorae with inscriptions in Linear B script from the Mycenaean palace of Thebes, larnakes (sarcophagoi) from the Mycenaean cemetery at Tanagra and the “black” incised stelae of warriors from the classical period.

  • Demosthenes, Chaeronea, and the Rhetoric of Defeat
    CHAPTER 6 Demosthenes, Chaeronea, and the Rhetoric of Defeat Max L. Goldman Introduction For years Demosthenes urged the Athenians to oppose the rising power of Macedon, which had come to prominence in the second half of the fourth century through the diplomatic and military efforts of its king, Philip II.1 Demosthenes finally convinced the Athenians and the Thebans to form an al- liance, which faced Philip at Chaeronea in the late summer of 338 BCE. Philip’s decisive victory in that battle had immediate consequences for the political landscape of the Greek world and modern historical narratives tend to treat Chaeronea as a turning point, as the moment when mainland Greece ceased to engage in independent foreign policy actions.2 Although this turned out to be the case, it was not immediately clear at Athens that the new order established by Philip after the battle was irrevocable. When Demosthenes was selected to deliver the funeral oration (logos epitaphios) for the Athenians who died at the battle of Chaeronea, he faced a particularly challenging task because the soldiers, whose deaths he needed to praise, had died fighting a losing battle, a battle he had vigorously advocated for. In his funeral oration, Demosthenes needed to discuss the defeat and his role in it in a way that created a sense of continuity with the past, that minimized the potential disruption such a defeat can inflict on a community, and that gave the Athenians a way to understand their defeat and his role in it. There can be no doubt that Demosthenes delivered the oration for the dead of Chaeronea.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Timeline Proposel 2013
    Timeline & Games Proposal 2013 – 2016 in Greece In cooperation with Prof. Dr. Maria TZANI, Vice-President of the International Delphic Council (IDC- Berlin) for discussions with the respective Greek Ministers as well with the Greek Head of State. General Introduction Let’s meet in Greece It is the aim of the International Delphic Council to enlarge the worldwide acknowledgement of the Delphic Games of the Modern Era by restructuring the IDC in that way, that new countries have the opportunity to become a cultural hub within a region of the worldwide Delphic Games and the Delphic Movement as a whole. Summarizing the experience of the past 18 years it is of utmost importance to invite committed coun- tries protecting and strengthen (political, economical, diplomatically etc) the International Delphic Council and to support democratic development with its cultural, transparent structures. The turn around should be achieved through - moving the worldwide Delphic Head office from Germany towards Greece - establishing worldwide strong Delphic Councils at national level - the establishment of regional / continental IDC Branches, i.e. Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, etc. to select appropriate and committed nations willing to set benchmarks in protecting the Delphic Games for the arts as equivalent to the Olympic Games for sports. Plans in Greece It is a target of the IDC that Greece should have a key function in the near future and that two destina- tions should be appointed in Greece for the IDC: - a larger centre in / close to Athens (reconstruction/revival of a site) - a newly constructed worldwide Delphic Centre in Delphi, at ancient times viewed as “navel of the world”, including a Temple of Fame, congress and education facilities constructed and out- lined in highest artistic architecture and art works reflecting its position as Cultural Crossroad of World Culture.

  • 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.
