Onassis Public Benefit Foundation’s continuous support during the academic years 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13 enabled me to conduct and complete my research which began in October 2008. It is with deep gratitude that I acknowledge this gift that can never be repaid by any kind of labour or good intention. I will be forever grateful to the many contributions to this work. I thank, first of all, my supervisors Alan Read and Kelina Gotman whose insights and critical attention to my work have shaped this thesis in entirely positive ways. I will forever cherish meeting Professor Alan Read as my teacher in the MA in Text and Performance Studies, that was co-conducted by King’s College London and RADA in 2007/8. It was towards the end of that year and while I was in rehearsals for my Directing Dissertation Epidemic that was exploring ritual and madness in Sophocles’ Antigone and Euripides’ Bacchae that I submitted my application to do a PhD under his supervision. A few months later, I had the luck to meet Kelina Gotman. Their notes and comments have kept coming back, returning and influencing me throughout this process. Secondly, two generations in my family have visited Langadas and witnessed the Anastenaria. My mother in particular, Calliope Rigopoulou, has directed a short film on the Anastenaria in both Greece (Langadas, Saint Helen) and India entitled “Nobody cares about my soul” (Greece, 2005). 5 Part of the recorded material my mother used for the film was acquired during a visit in Saint Helen. She was accompanied by my father Yangos Andreadis and his mother Filomeni Andreadi. Another part was acquired during a visit in Langadas, where she was accompanied by my father and the actress and acting teacher Katia Gerou. When I saw Katia Gerou play the part of Cordelia in King Lear at the Art Theatre Karolos Koun in 1998 I decided that I wanted to be involved in the theatre professionally. I was her student at the Karolos Koun Art Theatre Drama School in Athens from 2000 until 2003. In 2009/2010 we collaborated on the book When the heartbeats change; Discussions on theatre with Ioli Andreadi, that was based on our recorded discussions and published in Athens in 2010, ed. Kaleidoskopio. This exchange informed this thesis and vice versa in many ways. My field research in Langadas became a reality thanks to Mina Mahairopoulou, a sociologist, folklorist and one of the participants to the Anastenaria in Langadas. I thank her for introducing me to the other participants and to their chief and organising an interview with him during my first visit in May 2009.

    Ni{ i Vizantija XI 385 Graham Jones EARTH, FIRE, AND WATER: CONSTANTINE AND HELENA IN THE RITUAL HERITAGE OF EUROPE AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD Each year over three days in early June, icons of Constantine the Great and his mother Helena are held aloft by fire-walkers as they dance across hot cinders in villages of south-east Bulgaria and northern Greece. Recent research is divided over the antiquity and likely origins of this ritual, but at least two centuries of practice qualifies it as an established part of Europe’s cultural land- scape.1 It may be helpful to the debate, and in pursuit of the research theme at the 2012 symposium, to ask what if any common ground exists between these ceremonies and comparable traditions in other European regions and in other ages. Moreover, what processes might have brought these customs and the most famous son of Niš and his mother together? 1 The most recent and thorough treatment is Valeriâ Fol and Rouja Neikova, Fire and Music (Sofia, Prof. Marin Drinov Academic Publishing House, 2000).

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e8135. doi: 10.389 7/BDJ.4.e8135 Abstract Background The knowledge of the ground-beetle fauna of Strandzha is currently incomplete, and is largely based on data from the Bulgarian part of the region and on records resulting from casual collecting. This study represents a critical revision of the available literature, museum collections and a three years field study of the carabid beetles of the Bulgarian and Turkish parts of Strandzha Mountain and the adjacent Black Sea Coast territories. New information A total of 328 species and subspecies of Carabidae, belonging to 327 species from the region of Strandzha Mountain and adjacent seacoast area, have been listed. Of these, 77 taxa represent new records for the Bulgarian part of the region, and 110 taxa new records for Turkish part of the studied region. © Kostova R, Guéorguiev B.

As a result of the research we recorded 101 species and subspecies of ter- restrial molluscs belonging to 27 families.

The synopsis includes a list of synonymous species and subspecies concerning the area of research, all known localities, new localities reported for 50 taxa, systematic and environmental data. For the first time a zoogeographical and conservation analysis of the terrestrial snails is made. Key words: terrestrial gastropods, snails, slugs, Strandzha Mountain, Bulgaria, Turkey.

This collection consists of more than 1,300 commercially-produced phonograph recordings (LPs, 78s, 45s) primarily from Eastern Europe. Many of these albums are no longer in print, or, are difficult to purchase.

Unidentified biological materials were also investigated in four entomological collections in Sofia in Bulgaria: Forest Research Institute; Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research; National Museum of Natural History; University of Forestry. As a result, 76 taxa of longhorn beetles from four subfamilies were identified: Prioninae (one species); Lepturinae (12 species and 12 subspecies), Cerambycinae (nine species and 10 subspecies) and Lamiinae (20 species and 12 subspecies). In Bulgarian part of Strandzha 61 taxa (36 species and 25 subspecies) were found, and in Turkish part 32 taxa (17 species and 15 subspecies).
