His insight and leadership gave the magazine an excellence that has attracted readers from many parts ofthe world, and the present Staff, most ofwhom worked under his guidance, are dedicated to the endeavor of maintaining the standards he established. The aims and purposes of The Charioteer continue to be the same as those that first prompted the society to publish the magazine and that Mr. Friar defined in his first editorial. The literature and the art in previous issues illustrated primarily work being done in Greece now, today. Their substance and texture and the attitudes they embody reveal something of the fme fusion between the simple and the complex, the transparent and the opaque, the familiar and the strange, that characterizes a culture whose past is ancient and rich. We may say that probably we can never be too much aware of that past, even while we admit that its brilliance has caused students and the public at large to neglect Greek arts and letters of more recent times. The chief task of The Charioteer is to make up for some of that neglect. The previous issues show that the task is happily not a matter of mere lip-service to works of passing value, whose only claim to recognition is that they have hitherto been unknown in the English-speaking world. Rather, as Mr. Friar stressed with his first editorial, there is in Greece today "a sprouting Renaissance" very much worth study for its own sake. Many more than three issues of The Charioteer will be required to exhaust our interest in the current rebirth of Greek culture, for it springs from sources that can never be fully analyzed or explained or even counted. Like the other issues, this number of The Charioteer tries to illustrate the depth and range of that rebirth by presenting an anthology from the works ofa contemporary writer and ofa contemporary artist. The chapters from two novels-one historical, the other psychological-and the scene from a Byzantine drama suggest that Anghelos Terzilis is a highly :versa­ tile talent. With the swift ease of a Walter Scott, he can make himself at home in a period of history far removed from his own. Yet, with slow, almost psychoanalytic care he probes the inner life of a modem, non­ heroic, no-name hero. The versatility of Spyros Vassiliou is even more marked. A discerning critic pointed out that each of the paintings for this Bebe Spanos: Editorial 5 issue seem to be the work of a different person. Our Art Editor, who is familiar with all Vassiliou' s works, hastened to affirm that each of these paintings represents a vital aspect of the artist's nature. The main purpose of this fourth issue is to give homage to some of the more recent literary ancestors who helped to make possible the current rebirth of Greek literature. The anthology of short stories from the last half-century will answer a question that many of us have wondered about as we read the contemporary writing in the first three numbers. The ques­ tion is rather personal as much as it is literary and rises from the natural, sometimes vulgar, curiosity that people tend to have about each other; such curiosity, akin to the museum-making instinct, causes one era of human experience to be interesting to another. When Joseph Conrad, for instance, was with the Saint-Antoine gun-running along the Gulf ofMexico and gathering valuable impressions for Nostromo; when Henry James went for a walk with George Du Maurier-"in the mild March twilight (there was a blessed sense of spring in the air), through the empty streets of Porchester Terrace" -and listened to Du Maurier's dazzling improvisa­ tions for Trilby; when Marcel Proust was imprisoning himselfin his sound­ proof study on the Boulevard Haussmann, what was the mind given to putting words on paper thinking in that far corner of the western world called Greece? What kind of stories were getting themselves written in that young-old land? The answer is: the kind that always has been written there. Slight as they may seem, however much they may require that the worldly reader suspend his sophistication, the short stories in this issue treat material that is as old and as young as the land itself and they reveal some of the charac­ teristics of the Greek mind, early or late. Vikelas' Myrt6s who falls in the battle for Crete is like a pale shadow of one of those many minor, almost anonymous young heroes whose untimely, seemingly unnecessary death under the walls of Troy the poet records in a few lines but never neglects to make poignant. The heroes of Karkavitsas' little fables recall Odysseus in search ofhis fate-unless they more immediately suggest the high ro­ mance ofHerman Melville's characters who belong in the Homeric tradi­ tion. (In fact, the translators consulted Melville's sea stories for reasonable English counterparts of some almost-lost sailing terms in the Greek text.) Yianno Gamaro escapes from the Y ousouri as much without a scratch as Odysseus from the Scylla or Ishmael from Moby Dick. The brevity of human life, the vanity of human wishes, the longings of the seafarer, the patience of the land-bound who are anxious for his return, the joy when 6 THE CHARIOTEER he arrives, the break ofhearts when he does not come back-these themes are timelessly Aegean. As for the sea in a Greek story, when has it not been not merely a subject or a setting but a living character who demands human sacrifice and rejects all compromise? Better than any other element in the Greek landscape, the sea expresses the Greek impulse toward the pagan.

    Tudor 1 Paula Tudor Dr. Angela Hague English 3410: Classical Mythology June 22, 2016 Theseus: Man of the People While the tales of many Greek heroes emphasize the fantastical, Mary Renault’s account of Theseus and his exploits in The King Must Die bring to a life a relatable hero. Though mythology underscores his entire life’s journey, it is relayed as Theseus’s true beliefs in the gods and their powers. This serves the reader well in their ability to mentally transcend these mythological elements, and allows them instead, to focus on Theseus and the Greek culture that defines him. By walking the reader through Theseus’s upbringing and meticulously unveiling the flaws and shortcomings that make him inherently human, Renault depicts the story of a legendary hero that could be almost anyone. Theseus’s heart influences his behavior and the way he views the world. This is exemplified early on in the way he expresses his feelings about the sacrifice of the King Horse. He states, “the blood seemed to tear the soul out of my breast, as if my own heart had shed it” (Renault 11). This same mentality exists, though to a lesser degree, when he has to kill kings himself. This is because he does not kill for glory or fame. He kills out of necessity or a sense of compulsion from the gods. In fact, many times the motivation for killing comes from protecting someone or avenging someone’s death. This is a characteristic that is evident in Theseus’s childhood, and can be seen in the way he “leaped down on the bull’s head” (Renault 22) to save Dexios, and later when he avenged his death in the Isthmus.

  • Sea Cloud Board a Legend, Sail Into History 2018 Voyages
    SEA CLOUD BOARD A LEGEND, SAIL INTO HISTORY 2018 VOYAGES TM DEAR TRAVELER, We have been leading expeditions together aboard Sea Cloud for five years now (Tom began working aboard in the 1980s) and we can genuinely attest that this ship is a destination in and of itself. The fact that she travels to both iconic and discoverable locations is just the frosting on her impeccable ‘cake.’ People have been in love with Sea Cloud since she was commissioned by E.F. Hutton and his wife, Marjorie Merriweather Post, in 1931. She is the most authentic, historic, and elegant hand-sailed tall ship in the world. Watching the crew of 18 raise and lower her 30 sails by hand, the old-fashioned way, is a thrilling sight, one that elicits a powerful feeling. And as one of our past guests summed it up, “the Sea Cloud made me proud to be one of her passengers every time we came into port!” When you add our carefully crafted itineraries—Caribbean, Sicily-Malta, the Greek Isles, and Greece and the Dalmatian Coast—plus our unique Lindblad-National Geographic expedition style to Sea Cloud’s allures, you have the makings of an incomparable travel experience. Our expedition approach balances the ship’s native elegance with casual comfort. It creatively choreographs a square-rig sailing experience with the intimate history of the ship. And it mixes the surprise and delight of “off the beaten path” islands and authentic local encounters with visits to must-see sites. Consider too that when we’re in the Mediterranean, we make it a priority to schedule our visits for times when we have legendary sites virtually to ourselves.

Alexias and his family are fictional, but the novel is filled with real figures: Lysis, Plato, Socrates, Xenophon, the generals of 415, Kritias, Autolykos, Euripides, Aristophanes etc. The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea tell the story of the legendary Athenian hero, Theseus, the first the adventures of his youth ending with his return from Crete, and the second the rest of his eventful life and his meeting with Hippolyta, the love of his life. The Mask of Apollo is set in the 4th century and narrated by Nikeratos, an Athenian actor, who gets involved with Plato and his ill-fated attempt to establish an ideal republic in Sicily. Again Nikeratos and his family are fictional, but the rest of the ‘cast’ include philosophers (Plato and the Academy), actors and dramatists (Thettalos), and political figures at Athens, in Sicily, and in Macedon. Fire from Heaven traces the early years of Alexander the Great, from his childhood through to his accession to the throne of Macedon in 336 BC.
