I worked with the beneficiaries of the centre, we organised some local excursions to a museum of the city, to exhibitions, etc. Also, from April 2017 until August, I was working every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 14 pm in the cooperating with KEKPA-DIEK Productive Cooperative of People with Disabilities ‘Heliotropia’ (Sunflowers) and during the days when students from schools were visiting the place and participated in activities with us. During the first three months, April to June 2017, we used to spend some afternoons every Wednesday and Friday with the Roma youth from the Roma Support Office of KEKPA-DIEK in Aliveri area (the group of Roma youth called ‘Romaleoi’), like going to the beach, learning how to row together, etc. Every Tuesday and Thursday we were organising learning courses with them in order to teach them English and to learn Greek from them. In general, I usually work 2 to 3 times a week for 4 to 5 hours per day in the Day Nursery of Volos. I work with children, play with them, do activities and handicraft and help the educators/ animators in their everyday work. I really love this kind of occupation and it is the reason why I am still working there. Also, once a week since September 2017, every Wednesday, I am going to the cooperating with KEKPA-DIEK, Hellenic Red Cross and its structure in Agria for unaccompanied minors seeking asylum (ex-Paidopoli Agrias). I’m the sports’ trainer, trying to teach how to play all the sports that they don’t know. I start at 9 am and I finish at 13 pm. Finally, I do some extracurricular activities: I started one week ago to this place that teach to the children the different arts. It’s a new place that I am trying. I am in one class of music with them and I’m helping the teacher with all the different instruments and how to touch them. I stay there from 17:15 to 20.45 …” Severi “…there are many structures in KEKPA-DIEK that are available for us to volunteer in and we can freely choose places that suit the best for each one of us. We work from Monday to Friday and around five hours a day. Once a week we gather together with all the volunteers and with our mentor and spend a couple of hours talking about things related to our project and our lives in general. When I arrived here in April I was spending my days volunteering in the day activity center of people with disabilities (KDHF Amea of Volos) in Palaia, Volos. I wanted to meet and get experience in working with all kinds of people, so throughout the spring and summer I volunteered in many places in the city of Volos: I was helping people with disabilities in the cooperating with KEKPA-DIEK Cooperative of people with disabilities ‘Heliotropia’ (sunflowers), playing sports with teenagers from the Roma community in the Romas Support Office of Aliveri, and entertaining little children in the Kindergarten of Neapoli.

    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.

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.

  • Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period Ryan
    Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions.
