Tessmer: Myth, Ritual, and the Labyrinth of King Minos Myth, Ritual, and the Labyrinth of King Minos Nicole Tessmer St. Louis University According to ancient mythology, King Minos built a perplexing labyrinth to house the Minotaur, a monstrous creature to which his wife had given birth. Each year, the myth states, seven girls and seven boys were chosen to enter the labyrinth as tributes to become food for the Minotaur.1 It was not until Theseus entered the labyrinth, and killed the Minotaur that it could be considered a place to leave your childhood behind. Once inside, they wrestled with their demons, experienced a rebirth, and finally, emerged as adults ready to take their places in society. The myth of the labyrinth can thus be understood as a rite of passage or a coming of age ritual in ancient Greece.

  • Modern Minoica As Religious Focus in Contemporary Paganism
    The artifice of Daidalos: Modern Minoica as religious focus in contemporary Paganism More than a century after its discovery by Sir Arthur Evans, Minoan Crete continues to be envisioned in the popular mind according to the outdated scholarship of the early twentieth century: as a peace-loving, matriarchal, Goddess-worshipping utopia. This is primarily a consequence of more up-to-date archaeological scholarship, which challenges this model of Minoan religion, not being easily accessible to a non-scholarly audience. This paper examines the use of Minoan religion by two modern Pagan groups: the Goddess Movement and the Minoan Brotherhood, both established in the late twentieth century and still active. As a consequence of their reliance upon early twentieth-century scholarship, each group interprets Minoan religion in an idealistic and romantic manner which, while suiting their religious purposes, is historically inaccurate. Beginning with some background to the Goddess Movement, its idiosyncratic version of history, and the position of Minoan Crete within that timeline, the present study will examine the interpretation of Minoan religion by two early twentieth century scholars, Jane Ellen Harrison and the aforementioned Sir Arthur Evans—both of whom directly influenced popular ideas on the Minoans. Next, a brief look at the use of Minoan religious iconography within Dianic Feminist Witchcraft, founded by Zsuzsanna Budapest, will be followed by closer focus on one of the main advocates of modern Goddess worship, thealogian Carol P. Christ, and on the founder of the Minoan Brotherhood, Eddie Buczynski. The use of Minoan religion by the Goddess Movement and the Minoan Brotherhood will be critiqued in the light of Minoan archaeology, leading to the conclusion that although it provides an empowering model upon which to base their own beliefs and practices, the versions of Minoan religion espoused by the Goddess Movement and the Minoan Brotherhood are historically inaccurate and more modern than ancient.

Morris, Chair Most studies of the Greek oil and wine industry focus either on the Late Bronze Age or the Classical Period, rarely mentioning the Early Iron Age (so often cast as a “Dark Age”) between the two. This dissertation attempts to fill this gap by investigating evidence for the continuity of a surplus economy between the Late Bronze Age and the Archaic period. Specifically, I examine what type of oil and wine economy existed in the Late Bronze Age (LBA), how this economy continued into the Early Iron Age (EIA), and how the Early Archaic period built upon these previously established, though smaller-scale, socio-economic networks. Using data on the production, distribution, and consumption of large ceramic liquid transport containers, this study examines how the interaction between oil and wine manufacturers and central authority changed or remained constant during these periods of Greek antiquity.

Papadopoulos & Kontorli 2014 Abstract Since 1893 excavations by six different archaeologists at Vravron on the east coast of Attica have uncovered 37 Mycenaean tombs. The excavations, carried out by Stais (1893), Theochares and Papadimitriou (1955–1956), Verdelis (1965–1966), Themelis (1972–1973) and Kakavoyanni (1984), were not fully published and not all were well documented. This volume is the result of extensive archival research in the Museum of Vravron, the National Museum of Athens, the Archaeological Society of Athens and the excavation diaries and preliminary reports. The authors present a thorough description of the tombs and their contents and detailed discussions of the pottery, figurines, metal and other finds. Despite some loss of detail regarding the location, architecture and context of recovery of many tombs, the documentation and publication of these assemblages are valuable in their own right. The richly illustrated volume includes line drawings of over 300 pottery vessels and other objects, as well as 100 black and white and four colour plates. Contents Contents [iii] 4. Tomb types and architecture [117] List of figures [vii] 5. Burial customs [121] List of plates [xv] 6.

  • Modern Greece: Language and Culture University of Roehampton
    Modern Greece: Language and Culture University of Roehampton International Summer School Department of Humanities Module Title: Modern Greece: Language and Culture Module Code: HSA020C903H Module Tutor: Dr Katerina Volioti Module Rationale This module introduces students to the study of Modern Greece. It is open to all interested parties with or without prior knowledge of the language and the country. The module consists of two parts, each of equal weight in terms of teaching and assessment (50%). Half of the module offers an intensive course in Modern Greek for absolute beginners. By the end of the course, participants will be able to hold a basic conversation, to read signs, advertisements, and other brief texts, and to write some phrases about themselves and their interests. The other half of the module covers topics that pertain to Greek culture, including but not limited to: (1) History; (2) Literature; (3) Antiquities; (4) Music; and (5) Cuisine. The historical overview will familiarize learners with the socio-political trajectory of the Greek state, from the War of Independence in the 19th century, the two World Wars in the 20th century, to the economic prosperity and crisis in recent times. We shall study literature in translation, including the world renowned poetry of Constantine Cavafy. In our critical appraisal of Antiquities we shall discuss the style of iconic works of Classical art—buildings, sculptures, and vase paintings—as well as the reception of Greece’s past in modern culture and imagination. We shall examine, moreover, the sustainable development of highly visited museums and archaeological sites, also in view of forecasts for skyrocketing revenue from tourism in Greece in the coming years.
