  • Gatzea I: Dissemination Strategies for Heritage
    Gatzea I: Dissemination strategies for Heritage Elisa DAMIANIDOU Pelion Geography Pelion is a mountain at the southeastern part of Thessaly in central Greece, forming a peninsula in hook-shape between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea. 1 Thessaly, Magnesia, Mountain Pelion Mythology Regarding the Greek mythology, Mount Pelion took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, and was the homeland of the centaurs; the mythical creatures presented as part human and part horse. Most famous is the Chiron the Centaur, the wise tutor of many ancient demigods and heroes, such as Jason, Achilles, Theseus, Heracles and also Aesculapius, who then became the God of Medicine and gave life to the dead (Development Company of Pelion SA 2012:27). 2 Chiron the Centaur teaches Achilles Pelion was the place of residence of Gods in the summer and the place where the marriage of Thetis and Peleus took place. All the Olympian Gods were invited except for the goddess Eris because of her provocative inclinations. To take revenge, she brought a golden apple with the inscription "To the Fairest" and then the dispute arose between the goddesses Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. Paris, the Prince of Troy, was appointed to select the fairest by Zeus and he chose Aphrodite’s temptation that was Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world and wife of Menelaus of Sparta. Thus, the Trojan War began (Development Company of Pelion SA 2012:27). Jason and the Argonauts The voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from the mythical land of Colchis was organized in Pelion too.

They are led by Jason, a young hero who succeeds in winning the Fleece from Aeetes, king of Colchis, with the help of Medea, the Colchian princess expert in magic powers with whom he gets involved in a love affair, and who accompanies him back to Greece, thus providing the setting for Euripides' great tragic play of betrayal and infanticide, Medea.

This partnership is constituted from 6 countries, and targets in each of those 6 regions 2 groups: G1/the actors in the employment and training sectors (trainers, social workers, teachers, entrepreneurs, HR managers ...etc) and G2/the vulnerable populations that are excluded from the employment and training markets (isolated women and single mothers, migrants, adults living in rural areas and/or territories in economic decline, disabled people, as well as people close to illiteracy. After proceeding with a comparative diagnosis of the modes and practices that are used to evaluate the basic competences, with the actors of the employment and training sectors in every country, the partnership will experiment and produce tools and methods for an initial evaluation of the basic competences, that are related to the 8 key competences defined in the European reference framework. These experiments will allow the partners to produce together individualised plans for the development of competences, in favour of the final beneficiaries (G2) and the implementation of training modules to evaluate the key competences in direction of the professionals (G1) which would allow them to adapt their practices to the diversity of problems faced by the vulnerable groups. 3 Grundtvig - See your skills PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY This partnership aims at 3 objectives: 1. Identify, analyse and exchange the good practices in terms of evaluation and development of key competences in favour of the groups who are in a situation of social and professional exclusion.

  • THE EPONYMOUS OFFICIALS of GREEK CITIES: I Aus: Zeitschrift Für Papyrologie Und Epigraphik 83 (1990) 249–288
    ROBERT K. SHERK THE EPONYMOUS OFFICIALS OF GREEK CITIES: I aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 83 (1990) 249–288 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 249 The Eponymous Officials of Greek Cities: I (A) Introduction The eponymous official or magistrate after whom the year was named in Greek cities or as- sociations is well known to all epigraphists under various titles: archon, prytanis, stephanepho- ros, priest, etc. Some details about them have appeared in many articles and in scattered pas- sages of scholarly books. However, not since the publication of Clemens Gnaedinger, De Graecorum magistratibus eponymis quaestiones epigraphicae selectae (Diss. Strassburg 1892) has there been a treatment of the subject as a whole, although the growth of the material in this regard has been enormous.1 What is missing, however, is an attempt to bring the material up to date in a comprehensive survey covering the whole Greek world, at least as far as possible. The present article, of which this is only the first part, will present that material in a geographically organized manner: mainland Greece and the adjacent islands, then the Aegean islands, Asia Minor and Thrace, Syria, Egypt, Cyrene, Sicily, and southern Italy. All the epi- graphic remains of that area have been examined and catalogued. General observations and conclusions will be presented after the evidence as a whole has been given. I. Earliest Examples of Eponymity The earliest form of writing appeared in Sumer and Assyria sometime within the last half of the fourth millennium BC, and from there it spread westward. Thus, it is not at all surpris- ing that the Mesopotamian civilizations also made the earliest use of assigning names or events to years in dating historical records.

  • 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.

Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 26(1): 10, pp. 1–6, the History of Archaeology DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/bha-558 RESEARCH PAPER The Forgotten Pioneer: Valerios Stais and his research in Kythera, Antikythera and Thessaly Konstantinos P. Trimmis Kytherian Valerios Stais is widely recognised for his efforts as a curator of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and as the first excavator of the temple of Poseidon at Sounio, Attica, Greece. Even though there are two published biographies of Stais, one appearing after his death 1923 and the other in 1992, the rest of his work on the Antikythera mechanism and the prehistory of Thessaly is largely forgotten today. In this paper, the lifelong achievements of Valerios Stais are presented and a special focus has been given on the importance of his pioneering work on the acropoleis of Sesklo and Dimini and the recognition of the unique technological achievement represented by the Antikythera mechanism. In evaluating Stais’s achievements, we meet a persona with a unique influence on the formation of modern Greek archaeology. Introduction changed the way that the study of Antiquity was perceived Greece, a country with a unique archaeological heritage, in Greece, from a treasure hunting pursuit to a systematic inspired its people to investigate its history and process in order to understand ancient civilizations and archaeology from its inception as an independent state. their material culture.

  • The Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project Survey and Excavation Lykaion Mt
    excavating at the Birthplace of Zeus The Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project by david gilman romano and mary e. voyatzis www.penn.museum/expedition 9 Village of Ano Karyes on the eastern slopes of Mt. Lykaion. The Sanctuary of Zeus is above the village and beyond view of this photograph. in the 3rd century BCE, the Greek poet Callimachus wrote a Hymn to Zeus asking the ancient and most powerful Greek god whether he was born in Arcadia on Mt. Lykaion or in Crete on Mt. Ida. My soul is all in doubt, since debated is his birth. O Zeus, some say that you were born on the hills of Ida; others, O Zeus, say in Arcadia; did these or those, O Father lie? “Cretans are ever liars.” These two traditions relating to the birthplace of Zeus were clearly known in antiquity and have been transmitted to the modern day. It was one of the first matters that the village leaders in Ano Karyes brought to our attention when we arrived there in 2003. We came to discuss logistical support for our proposed project to initiate a new excavation and survey project at the nearby Sanctuary of Zeus. Situated high on the eastern slopes of Mt. Lykaion, Ano Karyes, with a winter population of 22, would become our base of operations, and the village leaders representing the Cultural Society of Ano Karyes would become our friends and collaborators in this endeavor. We were asked very directly if we could prove that Zeus was born on Mt. Lykaion. In addition, village leaders raised another historical matter related to the ancient reference by Pliny, a 1st century CE author, who wrote that the athletic festival at Mt.
