Settle into your room at the hotel and join us at 6.30pm to meet the group. There will be welcome drinks and nibbles before we step out for the evening for our first meal together. We will share the Greek food, Greek wine and connect as a group. After this we return to the hotel to settle back into our rooms in preparation for our first outing tomorrow. DAY TWO, DEPHI… We travel together today to the sacred town of Delphi, this famous ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of Pythia, the oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. Moreover, the Greeks considered Delphi the navel (or centre) of the world, as represented by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi. In myths dating to the classical period of ancient Greece (510-323BC) Zeus determined the site of Delphi when he sought to find the centre of his “Grandmother Earth” (Gaia) He sent two eagles flying from the eastern and western extremities and the path of the eagles crossed over Dephi where the omphalos or navel of Gaia was found. When we arrive we will have the evening to take in the sites of this beautiful township, and go on a walking trip together. DAY THREE, DELPHI… Today we will take in the sacred site of Apollo and Tholos Temple, Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia. Nestled amidst the pine forested slopes and rocky crags of the sacred peak are the beautiful and exceptionally well preserved ruins of Delphi. A city of wondrous artistic achievements and grand athletic spectacles during the flowering of Greek culture in the first millennium BC. Delphi is best known however as the supreme oracle site of the ancient Mediterranean world. This was the sacred place of the earth goddess Gaia and was guarded by her daughter, the serpent Python. This afternoon on returning to our hotel we will gather together to share the experiences of the day and be part of a group talk.

The first traces of settlement in Patras date as early as the third millennium BC in the area of Aroe. In antiquity Patras remained a farming city, It was in Roman times that it became an important port. On arrival, we will settle for a short time in our rooms and afternoon we will explore the exciting city of Patras. There is the medieval Patras Castle, Roman Odeon, the Roman amphitheatre, Roman aquaduct, the Turkish baths and the Patras lighthouse. We will enjoy lunch together before heading back to our hotel where you will be free afterwards to visit the old town yourself and discover its hidden treasures. DAY SIX, OLYMPIA… An early morning breakfast will then see us travel together to the beautiful ancient city of Olympia. This town is on the Peloponnese’s peninsula, famous for the nearby archaeological site of the same name, which was a major religious sanctuary of ancient Greece, where the Olympic Games were held. The site was primarily dedicated to Zeus and brought people from all over the Greek world, as one of a group of such Panhellenic centres, which helped to build the identity of the ancient Greeks as a nation. Here we will experience the sacred site of the Olympic games. The archaeological site held over 70 significant buildings and ruins of many of these have survived. We will enjoy the beautiful township and shops of Olympia before heading back to our hotel late in the afternoon. DAY SEVEN, JOURNEY TO THE ISLAND OF KEFALONIA… Today we will say goodbye to Patras and make our way to the enchanting island of Kefalonia, we will travel to the port and then in just under 3 hours on the water by boat arrive at the port of Argostoli. From an archaeological point of view, it is an extremely interesting Island. Without doubt, the most important era for the island was the Mycenaean era from approximately 1500 to 1100 BC. Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionic group of Islands and the 6th largest island in Greece, it is famous for its beautiful forested landscape and magnificent beaches, as well as being the Island where the movie Captain Corellis Mandolin was filmed.

DAY ELEVEN, FULL DAY TRIP… After breakfast we will begin to explore the island, beginning by taking a boat trip to the blue grotto caves and famous beach, Navigo (shipwreck) bay. After lunch we will visit the sea turtle Caretta-Caretta from Zakynthos. The island of Zakynthos, and especially the bay of Lagenas, is one of the most important shelters for the endangered species of Caretta-Caretta in Greece. This unique kind of sea turtle distinguishes for the red-brown shell and the big head and can reach up to 1,25 m in height and 180 kilos in weight. The water pollution, the extensive fishing activity and the over-development of beach resorts have led these turtles to be extinct. The female turtles lay their eggs in particular seashores with dry sand and after 50-75 days of brooding, little turtles come out of their eggs and return to the water. Twenty to thirty years later, these turtles will come back to that same spot where they were born to lay their own eggs. The National Sea Park of Zakynthos is unique of its kind in the Mediterranean and was founded in 1999 for the protection of the ecosystem and the sea turtle Caretta- Caretta. This national park consists of Lagenas bay, the beaches where turtles lay their eggs and a stretch of land which connects the lake of Keri and two small islets, Marathonist and Peluso. About 1,300 nests are created every summer by the sea turtles along 6 beaches on the bay of Lagenas. A series of measures have been adopted by the Greek legislation in order to protect the Caretta-Caretta and the National Marine Park of Zakynthos (Zante) is now well established. DAY TWELVE, YOUR FREE DAY… After breakfast we will gather together for a group share and talk and then you will be free to explore the island, where you can take time to reflect on all the experiences so far, take in some more sights that this beautiful island has to offer. DAY THIRTEEN, TRAVEL TO ATHENA… Today we farewell Zakynthos travelling in our private minibus to the sacred city of Athena. We will visit the Corinth Canal on the way, a breathtaking view of the canal can be seen and its crystal blue waters. When we arrive in Athens settle into your room at the Hotel Astor. We will complete our evening by having free time in the Plaka before our final day together tomorrow. DAY FOURTEEN, SOUNION… Today we will begin our day with a unique on foot, coffee and shopping tour! Lisa will share with you her favourite cafes and beautiful shopping experience from shoes, jewellery, Greek ice cream, traditional Ouzo bar and Greek souvenirs. After lunch we will have time to rest before meeting to travel to Sounion, the sacred site of Poseidon, this beautiful temple is approximately 1hour and 30minute drive from the centre of Athens. The story of Aegeus, is linked to this site where the tragic story of the love of a father for his son, when he thought his son had died, due to the colour of the sails of his ship, he plunged himself into the sea, not knowing the sails of the ship his son Theseus was on had simply not been turned to indicate his safety.

  • HAMLET's MILL.Pdf
    Hamlet's Mill An essay on myth and the frame of time GIORGIO de SANTILLANA Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science M.l.T. and HERTHA von DECHEND apl. Professor fur Geschichte der Naturivissenschaften ]. W. Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt Preface ASthe senior, if least deserving, of the authors, I shall open the narrative. Over many years I have searched for the point where myth and science join. It was clear to me for a long time that the origins of science had their deep roots in a particular myth, that of invariance. The Greeks, as early as the 7th century B.C., spoke of the quest of their first sages as the Problem of the One and the Many, sometimes describing the wild fecundity of nature as the way in which the Many could be deduced from the One, sometimes seeing the Many as unsubstantial variations being played on the One. The oracular sayings of Heraclitus the Obscure do nothing but illustrate with shimmering paradoxes the illusory quality of "things" in flux as they were wrung from the central intuition of unity. Before him Anaximander had announced, also oracularly, that the cause of things being born and perishing is their mutual injustice to each other in the order of time, "as is meet," he said, for they are bound to atone forever for their mutual injustice. This was enough to make of Anaximander the acknowledged father of physical science, for the accent is on the real "Many." But it was true science after a fashion. Soon after, Pythagoras taught, no less oracularly, that "things are numbers." Thus mathematics was born.

HARCUM IN 1909 the Royal Ontario Museum of Archreology acquired a Parian marble statue, which came originally from the mainland of Greece, and with its basis is just six feet high. It was presented to the museum by Sigmund Samuel, Esq. The woman, or goddess (PI. IX), stands majestically with weight resting on her right foot, her right hip projecting, her left knee bent and slightly advanced. She looks in the direction of the free foot. The position gives the impression of perfect repose yet of the possibility of perfect freedom and ease of motion.

AIA "1 The 'Symbolism of the Cross' in Sacred Architecture THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname: Stevens First name: Raymond Other name/s: Stanley Abbreviation for degree: M. Arch School: School of the Built Environment Faculty: Australian School of Architecture & Design Title: An Hermeneutic Exploration of René Guénon's Symbolism of the Cross Applied to Sacred Architecture. Abstract This thesis examines how the architecture of the various sacred traditions, all manifest in their built expressions a universal symbolic content, while at the same time being absolutely unique in their own inherent particular spiritual dispensation. One major aspect of this symbolic content is the embedding of the three-dimensional cross in its various modes within their built arrangements. The correlation between the three dimensions of space and the metaphysical symbolism of the cross was the subject of a short but important work by the French traditional metaphysician René Guénon titled Symbolism of the Cross (Le Symbolisme de Ia Croix). In describing the purpose of the work Guénon wrote that it was 'to explain a symbol that is common to almost all traditions, a fact that would seem to indicate its direct attachment to the great primordial tradition'.

Beauty of color or lustre in a stone or some quaint form attracts the eye of the savage, and his choice of material for ornament or adornment is also conditioned by the tough- ness of some stones as compared with the facility with which others can be chipped or polished. Whereas a gem might be prized for its beauty by a single individual owner, a stone of curious and suggestive form sometimes claimed the reverence of an entire tribe, since it was thought to be the abode or the chosen instrument of some spirit or genius. Just as the appeal to higher powers for present help in pressing emergencies preceded the development of a formal religious faith, so this never-failing need of protectors or healers eventually led to the attribution of powers of protec- tion to the spirits of men and women who had led holy lives and about whose history legend had woven a web of pious imaginations at a time when poetic fancy reigned instead of historic record.

  • The Sirius Mystery
    SIRIUSM.htm file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20Documents/emule/Incoming/SIRIUS_Mystery_Dogon_Robert_KG_Temple/SIRIUSM.htm (1 of 349)22/03/2005 01:32:09 SIRIUSM.htm ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My first thanks must go to my wife, Olivia, who has been an excellent proof- reader and collater and who made the greatest number of helpful suggestions concerning the manuscript. Two friends who read the book at an early stage and took extreme pains to be helpful, and devoted much of their time to writing out or explaining to me at length their lists of specific suggestions, are Adrian Berry of the London Telegraph, and Michael Scott of Tangier. The latter gave meticulous attention to details which few people would trouble to do with another's work. This book would never have been written without the material concerning the Dogon having been brought to my attention by Arthur M. Young of Philadelphia. He has helped and encouraged my efforts to get to the bottom of the mystery for years, and supplied me with invaluable materials, including the typescript of an English translation of Le Renard Pale by the anthropologists Griaule and Dieterlen, which enabled me to bring my survey up to date. Without the stimulus and early encouragement of Arthur C. Clarke of Ceylon, this book might not have found the motive force to carry it through many dreary years of research. My agent, Miss Anne McDermid, has been a model critic and adviser at all stages. Her enthusiasm and energy are matched only by her penetrating intuition and her skill at negotiation.

First published in 1996 [ 13 ] ______________________________ The Treatise of the Philosopher’s Stone of Abraham Lambsprinck, is one of the most important works that have left us the ancient alchemists. The book of Lambsprinck first appeared in a collection of alchemical texts, published in 1599 in Frankfurt, by Nicholas Bernaudo, who claims to have it translated from the German, “from a very old manuscript”. It reappeared in 1603 and 1625, in other collections similar to the previous one. In this version that Atlantis Publications puts within the reach of the English language reader, the translator of Lambsprinck interprets, in terms that are accessible to all, the deep symbolism of Alchemy. Alchemical symbolism is the key to the mystery of our origins and to the understanding of the hidden doctrines. The translation of the Treatise of the Philosopher’s Stone and the explanatory comments of the translator are the fruit of many years of research conducted by a professional engineer and scientist with a doctorate (PhD) in Nuclear Physics.

  • The Contribution of Culture to the Sustainable Development of the Municipality of Delphi
    JOURNAL "SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE, TRADITIONS".................Volume 1a/2018 THE CONTRIBUTION OF CULTURE TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF DELPHI Konstabtinos Chalioris Economist, Master in Sustainable Development, Harokopio University [email protected] Roido Mitoula Professor, Harokopio University [email protected] Eleni Theodoropoulou Professor, Harokopio University [email protected] Panagiotis Kaldis Professor, University of West Attica [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this paper, as the title suggests, is to assess the contribution of culture to the sustainable development of the Municipality of Delphi, a municipality with particular characteristics. In order to achieve the above objectives, a bibliographic survey was carried out and a questionnaire was distributed to two hundred and eighty (285) consumers and businessmen from the Delphi area. To summarize, classify and present our primary data, the descriptive statistics methods were used. In the context of a more comprehensive study of the Cultural Reserve of the Municipality of Delphi and acquaintance with its original features, the elements of the cultural heritage of the Municipality were noted and five cultural routes were proposed, which highlight all the cultural interests of the place. In this effort, it is worth noting that the analysis of cultural routes, which provide tourists with useful knowledge and information on the most important sites, is also crucial. Their contribution is therefore extremely important for the promotion of various cultural actions and tourist efforts, as several details are provided for the emergence of key and remarkable archaeological sites and monuments. Keywords: Cultural Heritage, Sustainable Development, Cultural Heritage and Environment, Municipality of Delphi Introduction In recent years there has been an increasing international connection between the term 'local development' and 'culture'.
