Zeus Temple at Olympia ROSS HOLLOWAY, R
Panhellenism in the Sculptures of the Zeus Temple at Olympia ROSS HOLLOWAY, R. Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1967; 8, 2; ProQuest pg. 93 Panhellenism in the Sculptures of the Zeus Temple at Olympia R. Ross Holloway REEK ARCHITECTURAL SCULPTURE in stone is as old as the Greek G stone temple. By the early fifth century B.C. the Greeks had also developed the idea of programmatic design in archi tectural sculpture. The thematic connections were simple and concrete. The metopes ofthe Athenian Treasury at Delphi, for example, present the comparison of the labors of Herakles and of Theseus. At Aigina the program occupying the pediments of the Aphaia Temple consisted of scenes from the two Greek expeditions against Troy. A century later, however, thematic planning of architectural sculp ture had moved far beyond such simple and obvious programs and could be conceived with connections that were more suggestive and abstract than declarative and concrete. A case in point is the Nereid Monument at Xanthos in Lycia, a princely tomb designed by a Greek architect and decorated by Greek artists at the beginning of the fourth century B.C. As interpreted by Panofsky,l the frieze of the podium combines scenes from the career of the owner of the tomb with mythical scenes meant to reflect that career on an heroic plane. In the colonnade celestial abstractions suggest a benevolent atmosphere. A final motive of apotheosis is expressed by figures of the Dioskouroi in the pediments. The century between the Aphaia Temple and the Nereid Monu ment saw the design and execution of the monumental architectural sculpture of the high classical age.

Working Paper, Not for Distribution Without Permission of the Author
Working paper, not for distribution without permission of the author. Tonio Hölscher: Myths, Images, and the Typology of Identities in Early Greek Art 1. Identity: Problems with a modern concept in present times and in the past ‘Identity’, in its double sense as an individual and a collective concept, has since the 1970es become a key term of discourse on historical as well as contemporary societies. The notion of ‘identity’ is not only used as a descriptive category of historical and sociological analysis but is also, and above all, asserted as a legitimate claim of individual and collective entities: Individual persons as well as social groups or national populations claim the right to live according to, and to fight for their identity. In the context of this conference, it is the aspect of collective identity I am going to focus on. Nobody will deny the importance of the concept of collective identity: Communities cannot exist without a conscious or unconscious definition of what they are. That is how they can identify themselves. Nor will anybody on principle contest the right of communities to cultivate and defend their identity: We concede this right to the Greeks in their fight against the Persians as well as to contemporary peoples that are suppressed by superpowers or threatened by foreign enemies. But on the other hand, it is also evident that such emphasis on identity is anything but innocent. For there can be no doubt that during the last generation the increasing assertion of collective and national identity has produced an enormous potential of conflicts throughout the world.

Early morning sunlight bathes the Parthenon and Acropolis, as seen from the rooftop restaurant of our nearby hotel. Photo by guide Megan Edwards Crewe. Greece's lovely countryside offers a delightful place to observe Europe's spring migration and to study some of its breeding birds -- with the added bonus of a plethora of nearby cultural attractions to enjoy as well! Our two-week tour ventured from the wild pine forests of Dadia NP in the country's northeast to teeming wetlands along the calm Aegean Sea, from the fertile countryside around the massive, freshwater Lake Kerkini to the brooding hulks of Mount Olympus and Mount Parnassos, and the dry, olive-studded hillsides around Delphi. Our weather was generally delightful (except for those two dampish days at the beginning, of course), and we had a multitude of birds to enjoy. At Dadia's raptor feeding station, an aggressive scrum around the carcasses held dozens of Cinereous Vultures and Eurasian Griffons, with a few Egyptian Vultures, a single White-tailed Eagle and some Black Kites watching the action from a nearby tree. Great Crested Grebes performed their courtship mirror dances and gathered huge mouthfuls of marsh vegetation to add to their growing platform nests. The lovely songs of a bevy of larks -- Calandra, Wood, Greater Short-toed, Crested, Sky -- rained down from the heavens as the birds themselves hovered in endless display ﬂights.

The End of the Archaic Style
THE END OF THE ARCHAIC STYLE T HIE late Francis Henry Taylor wrote in his Taste of Angels c. .. not even a statesman at a peace conference is more unable to repudiate a previously held opinion than the academic potentate who passes as an authority in his particular field." Rhys Carpenter has managed to guide both himself and numberless students through the reefs of vested opinion into the open waters of free research. He may not agree with the conclusions reached in this paper; but they are the result of his unorthodox teaching. The common assumption that all Archaic sculpture met a sudden death along with Mardonios and his Persians on the battlefield of Plataia, and that after 479 B.C. all Greek sculptors throughout all Hellas immediately adopted new forms and manner- isms to express their ideas is utter and unsupported nonsense. The efforts of the last few decades of scholarship have, by pushing the origins of the Archaic farther back into the mists of the Greek Dark Ages, served to underscore the essential theme of this paper. No style so deeply rooted for so long in the eyes of all Greeks everywhere could have come to an instant and universal end. The great majority of the troops who fought at Plataia tramped or sailed back to their native cities through lands untouched by the invader to intact towns, homes and families. Like victors in every war their one determination was to maintain the status quo for which they had risked their lives. Every one of these warriors had on his conscience some vow made before or during the heat of combat, and he lugged on his back a heavy bag of booty with which to carry it out.

Gifts Given to Delian Apollo During the Greek Archaic Period
Spectacular Gifts: Gifts Given to Delian Apollo During the Greek Archaic Period Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bonnie McCutcheon Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Greg Anderson, Advisor Nathan Rosenstein Timothy E. Gregory 1 Copyrighted by Bonnie McCutcheon 2018 2 Abstract Delos, birthplace to the gods Apollo and Artemis, was home to a significant sanctuary to Apollo in the Greek Archaic Period. Apollo and his sanctuary received many spectacular gifts which stand out in the historical record, including world-premiere works of art, such as the Nikandre kore. The turannos of Samos, Polycrates, notably gave to Apollo the neighboring island of Rheneia, which he attached to Delos with a chain. These and other gifts include elements of the spectacular which make them stand out. To understand the role played by elements of spectacle in gifts at Delos, we must examine these gifts as a discourse. Only by putting them in context with one another can we fully understand the messages that each gift was meant to communicate. Ultimately, I will argue that this is a discourse about establishing and performing identity as xenoi (guest- friends) of the gods and as megaloprepes (magnificent or great men). iii Dedication For Russ, who always believed in me, even when I did not. iv Acknowledgments The composition of this dissertation has spanned over a decade of my life, and could not have been completed without the support of my family and mentors at the Ohio State University.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the exhibitions of Greek architectural sculpture in ten European collections. The exhibitions used as case studies display both original sculptures and plaster copies. These displays can be found in the Acropolis Museum, Athens; the British Museum, London; the Musée du Louvre, Paris; the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, Olympia; Delphi Archaeological Museum, Delphi; the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge; the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, Oxford; the Kongelige Afstøbningssamling, Copenhagen; and the Skulpturhalle, Basel. These exhibitions are assessed using the heritagescape methodology, considering the boundaries, visibility and cohesion within the displays. This assessment is then compared with the results of a survey of visitors to the same exhibitions, asking for their responses to interpretive material within the exhibitions, specifically, tours, models, pictures, information labels and videos.

Archetypes Collection Studio Joachim - Morineau
Archetypes collection Studio Joachim - Morineau In the beginning of March, with the confinement and the global 2020 pandemic situation, we had just finished our last projects and had to postpone some coming exhibitions. Having mainly shown smaller products and research-based concepts as a studio, this unpredictable “free-time” was the opportunity we needed to develop a simple idea we had for a while: a full collection. It was always a thought in the back of our minds, waiting patiently, and it seemed we could finally materialise it. As a young studio, our identity is not fully shown yet: we need time to expand and to achieve other aesthetic and concept levels. On daily bases, we have design ideas we grow and share in-between us, however there are not physically translated. Making a collection was a way of showing another part of our identity as designers without any link to a client. In our previous works, we usually were craftsmen and designers, this time we chose to focus on being only designers. To understand our merged identity (Carla and Jordan) and our processes, it need to be said we both have technical and industrial backgrounds, more than artistic. Therefor, our aesthetic results from the function and with many self-applied boundaries. Those particularities are combined with our Design Academy of Eindhoven way of thinking (usually starting from our own preferences more than from a collective need). When we began developing a first draft of our collection concept, “ARCHETYPES” wasn’t a subject we just chose, but it obviously became the main link between our inspiration sources.

Pilgrimage to Greece 9-17 October 2015 My Pilgrimage to Greece
1 Pilgrimage to Greece 9-17 October 2015 My pilgrimage to Greece started in Garmisch, Germany. On Friday, 9 October 2015, Ladine and I flew from Garmisch to Greece on Aegean Air. We were picked up at the airport in Thessaloniki, Greece, by a guide with TPA tours. THESSALONIKI The airport is on the eastern end of Thessaloniki; and our hotel, the Capsis Hotel, was on the western end. So we drove through, or around, the city on our way to our hotel. We checked into our room, had dinner with the group, had a prayer service, and rested that evening. There are a couple of things I would like to say up front. Our tour guide, Aliki, was absolutely tremendous. She had such knowledge about everything Greek, from mythology to modern-day economics. Her command of English was excellent, and she was very articulate. It was very easy to understand her. Finally, she was very gentle and compassionate with us. Thank you, Aliki. Also, our driver was top-notch. Yiorgos is his name, and we felt that he could handle anything placed before him. Being such a good guide, Aliki was kind enough to give us a breakdown of the periods of Greek history. I am placing this at the beginning of this report because it might be helpful to refer to this information at some points.
