Particularly, I am grateful to Dadid Ashen to whom I owe the very idea to initiate this research, to Amlie Kuhrt and James T. Hooker who supervised my work, read the manuscript and made many corrections and useful remarks (though all remaining mistakes are of course my own). I wish to thank also the following scholars who contributed in one way or another to my work: Haim Tadmor and Aaron Shaffer were the first to introduce me into the world of the history and the languages of Ancient Mesopotamia, Galina Kellerman and J. D. Hawkins read with me many Hittite and Luwian hieroglyphic texts, Marcel Signist provided to me the basic training in the reading Sumerian texts of the Un III period, and Aage Westenholz trained me to read texts of the ]Fara period, Mark Geller read with me many Sumerian and Akkadian texts from different periods, of which the most useful (and difficult) was the readig of texts from Ebla. Discuss.ons with Kazuya Maekawa in the students' room of the British Museum were also most useful. It would be unjust not to mention that the fundamental sociological ideas of Igor Mikimilovich Djakonov (whom I unfortunately never met) had greatest influence on the whole way of my thinking. I am grateful to the Trustees of the British Museum and of the Ashmolean Museum for their permission to work with cuneiform tablets in their collections • I wish to thank paticularly P. R. S. Noorj and C. B. F. Walker for their assistance in my work. I am greatly indebted to the following scholarship funds which financed my work in London: Lady Davis Fellowship Trust, Baron Felix De Menasce Fund, The Humanitarian Trust, The Halper-Wolfson Fund, B'nai B'rith (Selig Brodetsky Lodge), The Edward Boyle Memorial Trust, and Overseas Research Students (ORS) Awards Scheme. Finally, I wish to thank Professor F. G. B. Millar whose constant care for my welfare made my life in London much easier. - II - Summary The present research was conducted. with the aim of better under- standing of Linear B texts through the help of the Near Eastern parallels. The method chosen was the comparison between individual texts and groups of texts and not between the "models" reconstructed for this or that society. Several restrictions for such a comparison were set up. The comparison itself was limited to the problems of manpower (lists of personnel, ration lists, land-surveys). The best parallels for Mycenaean records of work-teams (male and femal were found among the Sumerian documents from the period of the Third Dynasty of Ur, for the quotas of conscripts from specific villages - in Ugarit, and for the texts dealing with the land tenure and the organisation of the cultic personnel - among the Hittite cuneiform texts and Luwian hieroglyphic Kululu lead strips. The attempt was made to reconstruct the structure of the productive population in Mycenaean Greece and to find its place among other societies of the Ancient World. - III - LIST 01' ABBREVIATIONS A Oriental Institute, University of Chicago (museum numbers) AB As syrlo lo gis che Bibliotek XXV J.

  • 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.

  • Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region
    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves.

TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS BY THE WORKING GROUP ON BRIBERY ............................................. 3 WRITTEN FOLLOW-UP TO PHASE 2 REPORT ................................................................................................ 5 P a g e | 2 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS BY THE WORKING GROUP ON BRIBERY a) Summary of findings 1. Since Phase 2, Greece has introduced an express denial of tax deductibility of bribes. Greece has also taken numerous initiatives to raise the level of awareness of the foreign bribery offences and of the OECD Convention either through public measures or private activities. 2. In particular, the Export Credit Insurance Organisation includes the foreign bribery offence in its presentations as a matter of course. The market authorities, including the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission and the Athens Exchange, have undertaken initiatives on corruption, including foreign bribery. Awareness initiatives have also been undertaken within the Ministries of Finance and Economy, Justice, and the Interior, Public Administration and Decentralisation, and among tax officials. The Hellenic Banks Association in conjunction with all major commercial banks have organised meetings and seminars on the detection of corrupt practices, including money laundering and foreign bribery. However, the Working Group notes that no concrete action has been undertaken by the Hellenic Aid to further raise awareness of the Convention and the foreign bribery offence for its staff.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

  • Greece Crisis Response Plan 2020
    Global Crisis Response Platform Humanitarian and Crisis Transition Activities Greece Crisis Response Plan 2020 2020 Funding Required Target Beneficiaries $158,989,033 60,000 IOM Vision IOM Greece aims to improve the living conditions of migrant and refugee communities in the country through a wide range of activities and is working towards finding sustainable solutions for these vulnerable populations. Special care and attention will be provided to the most vulnerable groups, including unaccompanied migrant children. Planned activities in 2020 include accommodation support, capacity building of local actors, protection, legal counselling, psychosocial support, integration, interpretation services, transportation, access to education and non-formal education services, population mapping, community participation, care and maintenance, and provision of non-food items (NFIs). Context Analysis Since 2015, Greece has become one of the main gateways to the European Union for hundreds of thousands of people coming from the Middle East, Africa and Asia. War and political and economic instability in different regions has increased the number of irregular migrants and asylum seekers entering Greece from the eastern sea borders and by land, overcrowding the islands' reception and identification centres (RICs). The number of arrivals has particularly spiked over the last months, with large inflows and very limited outflows from the country. The efforts to decongest the overcrowded reception facilities on the Aegean islands are ongoing but are slow given the limited amount of accommodation available in the mainland. There is an imperative need to reinforce the current accommodation capacities within the emergency reception schemes. Greek authorities, with the support of IOM and other stakeholders, are making efforts to alleviate human suffering and ensure proper living conditions of the populations by prioritizing decongestion of the reception facilities on the islands and/or other locations.

In this context, I would like to thank the competent authorities of the Stock Exchange and the Hellenic Capital Market Commission for the excellent cooperation, our Advisors and Underwriters for the valuable support they offered us, all our employees within the Group who have been working hard for fifty years to get us where we are today, our executives who gave their best for the success of the bond issue and of course and above all the thousands of investors, private as well as institutional ones, that once again showed in practice how much they trust us. We believe that this trust is our greatest success, the greatest reward and recognition for the hard work we put in every day and we are truly grateful that it is expressed over time. Thousands of people show their trust towards our Group by placing their savings and this is both fascinating and really moving.

LautSchriftSprache / ScriptandSound. Wiesbaden: Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag, 2017. Pp. 384. ISBN 9783954901456. €98.00. Reviewed by Anna P. Judson, Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge ([email protected]) Table of Contents [Authors and titles are listed at the end of the review.] This book is the first of a new series, ‘LautSchriftSprache / ScriptandSound’, focusing on the field of graphemics (the study of writing systems), in particular historical graphemics. As the traditional view of writing as (merely) a way of representing speech has given way to a more nuanced understanding of writing as a different, rather than secondary, means of communication,1 graphemics has become an increasingly popular field; it is also necessarily an interdisciplinary field, since it incorporates the study not only of written texts’ linguistic features, but also broader aspects such as their visual features, material supports, and contexts of production and reading. A series dedicated to the study of graphemics across multiple academic disciplines is therefore a very welcome development. This first volume presents twenty-one papers from the third ‘LautSchriftSprache’ conference, held in Verona in 2013.
