Ho ever, no one ever ent abroad ith a greater ealth of expectancy, a higher sense of mission, or a more academic brush ith protocol. ,y 1950, times had changed considerably from the early days hen our State Department allegedly dispatched its emissaries ith but t o instructions: 1. Al ays sit ith your bac4 to the light. 2. ,e sure to ear a clean hite shirt. The Department too4 pains to imbue me ith a sense of responsibility and to teach me 3 the Ps and Qs 6protocol and Euintessence7 of the Foreign Service. I learned ho to seat a Navy admiral, an Army general, and a Marine general at the same dinner table ithout rupturing military eEuanimity. I learned that hile bracelets ere permissible on the outside of oneBs glove, rings must al ays be orn inside, and that both gloves and fruit must be peeled before eating. Through the sluggish process of social osmosis, I had already learned to be constantly on guard against the unmentionable Ds of polite formal conversation: dividends, disease, domestics, and descendants 6in the order of their unmentionability7. I 4ne that conversation ell, a diplomat as a peculiar species ho existed ithout any ostensible means of support, never enjoyed poor health, never propagated, and apparently did his o n house or4. Though on occasion, gaucherie superseded deliberate dumbness, I usually fought the good fight and maintained a frustrated silence on the tabooed topics, except hen in the bosom of my lenient 4in. No suddenly appeared old Gree4 hands ho imposed further restrictions on my conversational repertoire by adding t o more forbidden subjects to the proscribed list: Gree4 politics and the Gree4 language. Gree4 politics ere obviously a subject for me to shun li4e the plague. If one couldnBt spea4 intelligibly about her o n t o party system, she should never be so bold as to hold forth on someone elseBs fourteen party system. The subject of politics automatically tongueAtied me, but the Gree4 language on the other hand seemed an innocuous conversation piece. The seasoned Gree4 hands patiently explained that Gree4 is a plural language. ,esides the classical Gree4, there are t o modern Gree4 languages, the vernacular and the literary or scientific language. This diversity of their mother tongue, if not exactly a casus belli, is a nationally controversial issue that has split the Gree4s into t o camps, the Popularists versus the Purists, literally so to spea4. An ambassadorBs ife, especially one from a friendly nation, ould be illA advised to harp on such a discordant theme. One afternoonBs briefing as devoted entirely to the protocol of the diplomatic call. I learned that upon arrival at his post an ambassadorBs first official act is the presentation of his credentials to the sovereign of the country, after hich he is reEuired to call on the prime minister, the foreign minister, certain government officials, and his diplomatic colleagues in order of their seniority. As soon as the ambassador has completed his calls, protocol demands that his ife call on the other ives in the same seEuence. In that one afternoonBs session at the Foreign Service Institute I learned almost all there as to learn about the ritual of initial calls. Armed ith this degree of higher education, I sallied forth determined to ma4e friends for )ncle Sam or be shipped home from Athens on my shield. On the diplomatic front, I made a glorious start by un ittingly offending all my diplomatic colleagues before I even sa them. That feat as achieved Euite easily, ith practically no exertion on my part. It happened that before e departed 0ashington, the ife of our American Minister in Athens graciously rote for permission to give an evening reception for us as soon as possible 4 after our arrival in that city. 0e gratefully accepted the honor, the date of hich as left to the hostessB discretion. So as our locomotive steamed out of 0ashingtonBs )nion Station, the American Embassy in Athens as delivering invitations for a certain Tuesday nightBs reception to the diplomatic corps and Gree4 creme de la creme. 0e landed at the Athens airport on Friday afternoon, and the next morning the Embassy reEuested a date for my husband to present his credentials to King Paul at His MajestyBs earliest convenience. His MajestyBs earliest convenience as on Monday, the day preceding our Tuesday reception. According to custom, on Monday morning the King sent His ancient Rolls Royce and mounted palace guard to escort the Ambassador to the Palace for the formal presentation of his diplomatic credentials. The AmbassadorBs ife as not included in the traditional ceremony, but she and a bevy of eEually impressed American youngsters atched the splendid parade from the vantage of a curbstone across the street from the Palace gates. In the afternoon Their Majesties, King Paul and Queen Frederica, informally received both of us at Tatoi, the charming summer Palace in the country. The Ambassador spent the entire next day, Tuesday, calling on the other foreign ambassadors and government officials until alasF Tuesday evening eventually overtoo4 us before I had the opportunity to ma4e initial calls on my opposite members in the diplomatic corps. Though I didnBt reali9e it then, for the practical purposes of diplomacy, I as still officially in 0ashington. My colleagues could ac4no ledge neither my existence on earth nor my arrival in Athens until I had first called on them. The letter of protocol forbade their meeting me for the first time at a party in my honor. ,eing totally oblivious of the fact that oneBs calls served as oneBs passport to diplomatic society, I didnBt dream that I as to be a social parish, an untouchable in the diplomatic caste system, until my calls ere consummated. That evening the official and social elite of Athens and all the ambassadors came to our debut party, but none of the ambassadorsB ives, except the 4indly Nationalist ChineseBs, attended. Our charming hostess, Mrs. Harold Minor, seethed in diplomatic silence, but for me ignorance as bliss, and I as not sufficiently acEuainted ith Athenian society to miss the absentees. Moreover, I as already happily speculating on the pleasure of future dinner parties ith so many unattached ambassadors on tap. AthensB obvious ratio of eligible bachelors as a handsome improvement over 0ashingtonBs. )nEuestionably, I had at least arrived in hostess heaven. The next morning, una are that I had been publicly chastised, I too4 in hand my appointment list and merrily embar4ed on my visits to the ladies ho had stood at home the previous evening. My first stop as at the French Embassy to pay my respects to the Countess de 8aux St. Cyr, hose husband, by virtue of long residence in Athens, as dean of the diplomatic corps. At the door of a slightly seedy mansion I as admitted by a proper butler and ushered into a rather small dar4 sitting room to a ait my hostess.

It is believed that it was constructed for the effective protection of the immediate environs of the Mycenaean acropolis of Tiryns from the great floods of Megalo Rema torrent which was flowing just south of the citadel in Mycenaean times. This technical feat is survived in very good condition, having an almost N-S direction, a length of 80-100 meters, a base of 10 meters and an extant height of 8 meters. Its external side is lined with Cyclopean walls. The stability of the dam is strengthened by the presence of flysch on its southern end. The diversion of the channel of Megalo Rema was accomplished by the digging of a 1.4 Km long artificial channel having a SSW direction and joining downstream with the natural channel of Agios Adrianos Rema which discharges in the Gulf of Argos farther south from ancient Tiryns.

  • Defining Interdisciplinarity and Indentifying Research Directions in Jani Christou’S Strychnine Lady
    DOI: 10.15503/jecs20141-226-241 Expression Defining interdisciplinarity and indentifying Research directions in Jani Christou’s Strychnine lady Maria Yerosimou, PhD Faculty of Music Goldsmiths University of London, Lewisham Way, New Cross, London, UK E mail address: [email protected] Abstract Jani Christou was a major Greek composer, whose unusual, yet promising career was brought to an end after his untimely death in 1970 at the age of 44. His challenging and speculative output has intrigued generation of young music scholars; however, J. Christo- u’s work remains imperfectly and only patchily known and understood, especially outside Greece. This is partly because of the interdisciplinary nature of his late works which redu- ces the possibility of potential researchers who will academically establish J. Christou’s distinguished output. The aim of the present paper is to present and analyse parts of Strych- nine Lady, a work composed in 1967 in order to propose research directions in an effort to conÞ rm J. Christou’s posthumous reputation. Key words: Experimental music theatre, avant garde music, contemporary music, 20th century music, Greek avant garde composer Introduction On the 8th January 1970 an unusual and thrilling talent was lost in a car acci- dent: the composer Jani Christou. J. Christou was a major composer and philo- sopher, whose unusual, yet promising career was brought to an end after his untimely death at the age of 44. In his late works particularly J. Christou brought into conjunction his deep immersion in philosophical and psychological studies, including the ideas of Carl Jung and alchemy, with avant-garde musical and dra- matic materials and means.

  • Canada's Greek Moment: Transnational Politics, Activists, and Spies During
    CANADA’S GREEK MOMENT: TRANSNATIONAL POLITICS, ACTIVISTS, AND SPIES DURING THE LONG SIXTIES CHRISTOPHER GRAFOS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2016 © CHRISTOPHER GRAFOS, 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Greek immigrant homeland politics during the period of Greece’s military dictatorship, 1967 to 1974, in Toronto and Montreal. It carefully considers the internal dynamics of anti-junta activism in Canada’s Greek populations, but it also contemplates the meanings of external perceptions, particularly from the Canadian state and Canadian public discourse. The study acknowledges the dominant paradigm of Greek immigrants as unskilled workers, however, it demonstrates that this archetype is not monolithic. In many ways, it is challenged by a small number of Greeks who possessed skills to write letters to politicians, create petitions, organize public rallies, and politically mobilize others. At the same time, this dissertation carefully considers Canada’s social and political environment and shows how uniquely Canadian politics ran parallel to and informed Greek homeland politics. Transnationalism is used as an analytical tool, which challenges the meaning of local/national borders and the perception that they are sealed containers. The main argument expressed here is that environments shape movements and migrant political culture does not develop in a vacuum. Each chapter deals with specific nuances of anti-junta activism in Toronto and Montreal. Chapter One examines the organized voices of the Greek community’s anti-dictatorship movement. The chapter’s latter section looks at how the Panhellenic Liberation Movement (PAK), led by Andreas Papandreou, consolidated itself as the main mouthpiece against Greece’s authoritarian regime.
