But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key. -

It is one of the longest (25 pages) and unique Macedonian folktales. It was recorded in the 19th century, in vicinity of Prilep, Central Macedonia, a territory inhabited by the most direct Macedonian descendents of the ancient Bryges and Paionians. The notion of Bryges appear as from Erodot (Lat. Herodotus), who noted that the Bryges lived originally in Macedonia, and when they moved to Asia Minor they were called 'Phryges' (i.e. Phrygians). Who was Silyan? The story goes: Silyan was banished -

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN RURAL THessALY, 1850–1940 Fenia Lekka, Dina Moustani and George Gassias Abstract: This article is part of a research project on the transformations that took place between 1850 and 1940 in the province of Thessaly, an extensive rural region of the Balkan Peninsula. It focuses on the changes in the economic, social and demographic levels, highlighting the interrelation of these changes in rural Thessaly from the promulgation of the Land Law (1858) under the Ottoman Tanzimat reforms to the annexation of Thessaly and the implementation of extensive land reforms in the 1920s by the Greek state. Studies concerning the – predominantly rural – province of Thessaly during the nineteenth century mostly consider its annexation in 1881 by Greece as a milestone in the transfer of landed property from the Ottoman Empire to the Greek Kingdom, the acquisition of Ottoman landed estates by capitalists from the Greek diaspora from 1878 to 1881 being an essential element in this narrative. This article shall focus, firstly, on this transition, suggesting that the annexation was – in fact – a process that lasted for over a decade in terms of the province’s demographic transformation, which concluded with – as well as brought about – the gradual religious homogenisation of the population of Thessaly. Secondly, we shall study the role and profile of landowners, a process that led us to the realisation that even when the 1917 land reform was announced, a significant number ofM uslims were still among the owners of Thessalian estates, whereas Greek landowners belonging to or descending from the circle of capitalists of the Greek diaspora were relatively few in number. -
Chapter 2 an Outline of Thessalian History
CHAPTER 2 AN OUTLINE OF THESSALIAN HISTORY The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief narrative of Thessalian history, with special focus on the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. In so doing, I hope to create an adequate frame of reference for the following chapters which focus on religion. I neither canvas all of the relevant sources, nor do I tackle all of the region’s numerous thorny historiographical problems. My focus is on basic domestic and foreign political developments in Thessalian history and broader, observable trends in Thessalian society. 2.1: Foreign Affairs Long considered the northern frontier of Mycenaean civilization,1 recent excavations at Bronze Age Dimini (= Homeric Iolkos?) may reveal a settlement equal in stature to the great Peloponnesian centers of Mycenaean civilization. Thessaly’s prominence in the Homeric catalogue of ships is conspicuous. Although it is notoriously difficult to utilize that document for “historical” purposes, it is noteworthy that nearly all of the locations of Homeric Thessaly have produced Protogeometric material.2 Thessaly seems to have been a major military power in northern Greece during the Archaic period. Thessalian forces allegedly participated in the Lelantine War and the first Sacred War.3 A Thessalian alliance with the Peisistratids in Athens brought Thessalian forces into contact with the dominant power of the Peloponnese, Sparta, on 1 Feuer 1983. On the Bronze Age in northern Greece more generally, cf. Andreou, Fotiadis et al. 1996. 2 Morgan 2003: 102-5. 3 Cf. Lehmann 1983. 11 12 at least two occasions in the late sixth century. The Thessalians were among the first Greek powers to medize during the Persian Wars,4 although Herodotus suggests that this was a somewhat controversial decision of the Aleuadai, an aristocratic clan in Larisa, imposed upon Thessaly as a whole. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Literary evidence on Lysimachus reveals a series of images which may say more about contemporary or later views on kingship than about the actual man, given the intrusion of bias, conventional motifs and propaganda. Thrace was Lysimachus* legacy from Alexander's empire; though problems posed by its formidable tribes and limited resources excluded him from the Successors' wars for nearly ten years, its position, linking Europe and Asia, afforded him some influence, Lysimachus failed to conquer "all of Thrace", but his settlements there achieved enough stability to allow him thoughts of rule across the Hellespont, in Asia Minor, More ambitious and less cautious than is often thought, Lysimachus' acquisition of empire in Asia Minor, Macedon and Greece from c.315 BC to 284 BC reflects considerable military and diplomatic skills, deployed primarily when self-interest demanded rather than reflecting obligations as a permanent member of an "anti-Antigonid team". -
Ancient Languages of the Balkans
ANCIENT LANGUAGES OF THE BALKANS b y RADOSLAV KATICIC Part one 1976 MOUTON THE HAGUE • PARIS © Copyright 1976 in The Netherlands. Mouton & Co. N.V., Publishers, The Hague. No part o f this book may be translated or reproduced in any form, by print, photoprint, microfilm, or any other means, without written permission from the publishers. Printed in Hungary PREFACE In a short introductory outline such as the present one it is impos sible to handle a complex and delicate subject in any exhaustive and balanced manner. The presentation will always be eclectic and must thus remain the responsibility of the author. In this survey, the selection of data and of scholarly opinions that are treated at some length is the result of personal experience with the field of study. In some way, it is the book the author wishes he could have had at his disposal when, eleven years ago, he began the study of the languages of the ancient Balkans. This is the spirit in which he would like it to be accepted. Another person’s presen tation would be different. It cannot be otherwise in a field in which the body of universally shared opinions and received doctrines is small and the approaches of those concerned with it vary considerably. More space has been given to the literary sour ces than one would expect in such a series; however, for this subject it was vital to provide the appropriate philological and: historical basis. The bibliography, too, is selective, and here again a personal note could not be avoided. -

Yağmur Zühal Tokur - Academic Assistant Zeynep Erşen - Academic Trainee Introduction Alexander the Great whom you will become companies of for these four days was not just the king of Macedonia or the leader that started Hellenistic Era. -
Delphi and Beyond: an Examination Into the Role of Oracular Centres Within Mainland Gr Ee Ce
Delphi and Beyond: An Examination into the Role of Oracular Centres Within Mainland Gr ee ce by Jamie Andrew Potte r A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand August 2010 ii Abstract The Delphic Oracle stands as one of the most prestigious sanctuaries in the Greek landscape and certainly as the most reputable oracular centre in the region. In contrast, few other oracular centres made even a slight mark on Greece’s long and illustrious history. This study considers not only the possible reasons behind Delphi’s spectacular rise to power, but also what the factors may have been that prevented other oracular sites from successfully challenging Delphi’s supremacy. The sites considered in this study are restricted to those found in mainland Greece: five oracles in Boiotia; four in Achaia; three each in Phokis and Laconia; two in Thessaly, Epirus and the Argolid and one each in Elis, Corinthia and Thrace. Based on archaeological and epigraphic evidence, supported through reference to literary sources, this study finds that there were four key factors in determining whether an oracular site’s reputation would spread beyond its local community: the oracle’s age, location, oracular deity and its method of consultation. As this study shows, in all these factors, Delphi had (or was promoted as having) a clear advantage. iii Preface The task of writing a thesis is both challenging and rewarding, and something that should not be attempted without the support of friends and colleagues. I would thus like to thank all those who have provided welcome assistance throughout this process. -
Ancient Greek and Other Ancient Testimonies About the Unique Ethnic Distinctiveness of the Ancient Macedonians
Alexander DONSKI ANCIENT GREEK AND OTHER ANCIENT TESTIMONIES ABOUT THE UNIQUE ETHNIC DISTINCTIVENESS OF THE ANCIENT MACEDONIANS 2 Alexander DONSKI ANCIENT GREEK AND OTHER ANCIENT TESTIMONIES ABOUT THE UNIQUE ETHNIC DISTINCTIVENESS OF THE ANCIENT MACEDONIANS Institute of History and Archaeology Goce Delcev University – Stip, Republic of Macedonia Translated by: BUBE DONSKA DAVID RILEY (Great Britain) Publisher MNLD “Grigor Prlicev” – Sydney EMARI - Stip For the publisher: Dushan RISTEVSKI Maria KUBAISKA ISBN: 978-0-9808479-3-2 Sydney - Stip, 2011 3 "... I would like to emphasize that history is a science that establishes historical truth through scientific methods... In this sense, history is not negotiable. The history of the ancient world has already been written and documented, over the cen- turies, through laborious scientific research by acclaimed international historians and archaeolo- gists.” Dora Bakoyannis, foreign minister of Greece (30.03.2009) 4 INTRO Today's Greek propaganda does everything it can to convince the world that ancient Macedonia was "Greek" and that the ancient Macedonians were "Greeks" as well. The reasons for this are merely political and well-known. It is of great importance to Greece to prove that the name Macedonia and the ancient Macedonians were "Greek", which means that today's Macedonians "have no historical right" to use these "Greek" names. However, despite these claims, relevant Greek sources say that the biggest opponents of today's Greek propaganda are exactly the works of the ancient Greek historians! A lot of these works contain indisputable claims that the ancient Macedonians were not only not "Greek" (Helens), but that they were, in a big part of their history, very unfriendly towards each other.
