  • 143 Greek Settlement on the Lower Reaches of the River Tyras, The
    Acta Archaeologica Lodziensia nr 66 Mariusz Mielczarek https://doi.org/10.26485/AAL/2020/66/12 HERODOTUS AND GREEK SETTLEMENTS IN THE LOWER DNIESTER REGION ABSTRACT The evidence for Greek settlement on the Lower Dniester region in the ancient written sources is very scanty. The evidence in Herodotus is of prime importance. In reality Herodotus was more interested in Scythian matters than those of the Greeks. Herodotus gave special attention to the history of king Scyles and his special relations with Olbia. In light of the coin evidence Scyles could also be connected with Nikonion. Key words: Herodotus, Lower Dniester region, Greek settlements, the Scythians HERODOT I OSADNICTWO GRECKIE NAD DOLNYM DNIESTREM ABSTRAKT Osadnictwo greckie w dolnym biegu rzeki Dniestr w źródłach antycznych opisane jest bardzo skromnie. Wczesną, bardzo ogólną informacje podał Herodot. Dalsze uwagi Herodota w pierwszej kolejności od- noszą się do Scytów. Dużą uwagę poświęcił on na historię scytyjskiego króla Skylesa, i jego szczególne związki z Olbią. Skyles, w świetle znalezisk monetarnych związany mógł być również z Nikonion. Słowa kluczowe: Herodot, dolne Naddniestrze, osadnictwo grecki, Scytowie Greek settlement on the lower reaches of the The limited interest of ancient authors in the river Tyras, the present-day Dniester, was not of activities of the Greeks who settled on the River particular interest to Greek and Roman authors.

  • Ukraine–Greece Cooperation: Imbued with Common History and Vision
    Georgios POUKAMISSAS, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Hellenic Republic to Ukraine (2016–2019) UKRAINE–GREECE COOPERATION: IMBUED WITH COMMON HISTORY AND VISION – Let me start with an opening statement. Greece upholds the territorial in- tegrity, independence and sovereignty of Ukraine, not recognizing the illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula by the Russian Federation. International law, including various treaties, constitutes a fundamental guiding principle for the Hellenic Republic, and this does also apply in the case of Ukraine. Our ties to the Ukrainian lands are both ancient and modern; Tyras and Olvia were prosperous cities on the estuary of the Dnister and Dnipro Rivers respec- tively built by the Greeks as early as the 6th century BC. Mariupol, on the other hand, was founded in the late 18th century by the Greeks getting out of Crimea (Tavryda) to the northern shore of the Azov Sea. A few years after Mariupol, Odessa was built, a city of symbolic significance for modern Greece; in Odessa, in 1814, Filiki Eteria was founded, the secret so- ciety which masterminded and set in motion the Greek independence struggle. – Ukraine hosts a considerable Greek expatriate community. Is there a proper liaison with representatives of the community and is the Embassy following the living conditions of the Greeks? – First of all, we follow closely the fortunes of the Greek community which is concentrated in the hinterland of Mariupol. They are part and parcel of the society in these areas. We are also content with their treatment by the Ukrainian authorities, includ- ing on oblast and city level.

Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2010 (EBGR 2010) The 23rd issue of the Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion presents a selection of the epigraphic publications of 2010 and additions to earlier issues (especially publications of 2008 and 2009). As usual, emphasis was placed on the presentation of editions of new texts. This issue contains several interesting new epigraphic finds, mostly from Asia Minor. I would like to highlight a long Hellenistic inscription from Lykia (Tlos or Xanthos) that concerns a funerary foundation (143); besides providing interesting details regarding the sacrifice and the banquet, this text is an important piece of evidence for the devotion of an individual to a personal patron god (Helios, in this case), for belief in a personal ‘hero’ (or daimon), and the heroization through private initiative. A decree from Nysa provides valuable information about the exploitation of offering tables by trapezonai in a sanctuary of Plouton and Kore (54, 1st cent.

  • A Comparative Study of Ancient Greek City Walls in North-Western Black Sea During the Classical and Hellenistic Times
    INTERNATIONAL HELLENIC UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES MA IN BLACK SEA CULTURAL STUDIES A comparative study of ancient Greek city walls in North-Western Black Sea during the Classical and Hellenistic times Thessaloniki, 2011 Supervisor’s name: Professor Akamatis Ioannis Student’s name: Fantsoudi Fotini Id number:2201100018 Abstract Greek presence in the North Western Black Sea Coast is a fact proven by literary texts, epigraphical data and extensive archaeological remains. The latter in particular are the most indicative for the presence of walls in the area and through their craftsmanship and techniques being used one can closely relate these defensive structures to the walls in Asia Minor and the Greek mainland. The area examined in this paper, lies from ancient Apollonia Pontica on the Bulgarian coast and clockwise to Kerch Peninsula.When establishing in these places, Greeks created emporeia which later on turned into powerful city states. However, in the early years of colonization no walls existed as Greeks were starting from zero and the construction of walls needed large funds. This seems to be one of the reasons for the absence of walls of the Archaic period to which lack comprehensive fieldwork must be added. This is also the reason why the Archaic period is not examined, but rather the Classical and Hellenistic until the Roman conquest. The aim of Greeks when situating the Black Sea was to permanently relocate and to become autonomous from their mother cities. In order to be so, colonizers had to create cities similar to their motherlands. More specifically, they had to build public buildings, among which walls in order to prevent themselves from the indigenous tribes lurking to chase away the strangers from their land.

Ιστορική Περιοχή Heracleian Peninsula 1.1 Location The ancient city of Chersonesus is situated on the northern shore of Heracleian peninsula within the boundaries of the modern city of Sevastopol in the south‑western Crimea. It spread over the plateau between the modern bays of Karantinnaya and Pesochnaya. The square plateau is approximately 36 ha and its relief is formed by numerous dried ‑ up river‑beds. The Karantinnaya Bay served as the main harbor of Chersonesus. Its slightly sloping western shore was ideal for dockyards, particularly for repairing and drying up the ships. Chersonesusʹ location was a perfect choice from a military point of view. On the north and the east the city was defended by the sea and there were deep ravines separating Chersonesus from the mainland on the south and the west. Along the ridges of these very ravines the city fortification walls were constructed.

  • Researching New Religious Movements
    Researching New Religious Movements ‘The most important “first” that this book achieves is its bold questioning of the whole intellectual apparatus of the sociology of religion as it has been applied to the understanding of the new religious movements. I am confident that Elisabeth Arweck’s study will quickly become required reading in the sociology of new religious movements.’ Professor David Martin, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics, University of London ‘Powerful and original . it succeeds triumphantly in being at the same time an important, high-quality academic study and a book for our times.’ Professor David Marsland, Professorial Research Fellow in Sociology, University of Buckingham New religious movements such as Scientology, Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Unification Church (Moonies) are now well established in mainstream cul- tural consciousness. However, responses to these ‘cult’ groups still tend to be overwhelmingly negative, characterized by the furious reactions that they evoke from majority interests. Modern societies need to learn how to respond to such movements and how to interpret their benefits and dangers. Researching New Religious Movements provides a fresh look at the history and development of ‘anti-cult’ groups and the response of main- stream churches to these new movements. In this unique reception study, Elisabeth Arweck traces the path of scholarship of new religious move- ments, exploring the development of research in this growing field. She con- siders academic and media interventions on both sides, with special emphasis on the problems of objectivity inherent in terminologies of ‘sects’, ‘cults’, and ‘brainwashing’. Ideal for students and researchers, this much- needed book takes the debate over new religious movements to a more sophisticated level.
