Godsheroes Childrens Lettersize Dear Friends, In the 17th century, the notion began to develop in England and other European countries that knowledge of classical antiquity was essential to a child’s education in order to understand the roots of Western civilization. The need to travel to the lands that gave rise to Western traditions is as strong today as it was 300 years ago. We are pleased to inform you of this program offered by Thalassa Journeys for families to explore the most important ancient centers of Greece, places that have contributed so much to the formation of our civilization. Thalassa Journeys has hosted similar programs for members and friends of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and other prestigious organizations. The tour, solely sponsored and operated by Thalassa Journeys, will provide a joyful learning experience for the entire family – children, parents, and grandparents. Please note: children must be age 5 and above to participate in the programs. The itinerary is designed to enlighten the senses and inflame the imagination of people of all ages and to awaken their minds to the wonders of classical antiquity including the Acropolis and its glorious past. Young explorers and adults will delve into the Bronze Age Mycenaean civilization and the world of Homer. They will discover the citadel of Mycenae, home of Agamemnon. At the magnificent 4th century BC Theater of Epidaurus, families will learn about ancient Greek drama and consider the connections between theatrical performances and healing; in Nemea, one of the four places where in antiquity athletic contests were held, children will compete in mock races in the original ancient stadium. At the awe-inspiring Delphi, the sanctuary of Apollo, travelers will walk the Sacred Way and learn about the critical role oracles played in the ancient world. In Athens, parents and children alike will marvel at the achievements of the Golden Age. This extraordinary journey of discovery and learning will end with visits to some of the most important and attractive Greek islands. Volcanic Santorini was home to a sophisticated Bronze Age society, whose main town of Akrotiri was blanketed in ash and pumice following a huge eruption of the volcano in the late 17th century BC. It is now one of the world’s most important archaeological sites. Naxos, the largest of the Cycladic islands, is known for its ancient sites, attractive landscapes, old villages and inviting beaches. Uninhabited Delos is a veritable open air museum, while nearby Mykonos is famed for its characteristic white-wash architecture. Professor Richard A. Billows will serve as the Expert Guest Lecturer. Prof. Billows will travel with the group for the entire trip. His lectures and discussions will illuminate aspects of Greek history and culture for both adults and children and will bring the ancient sites to life. This is the perfect opportunity for multigenerational families to travel, explore and learn together about the wonders of the ancient Classical world. Warm regards, Andrew Ackerman The Laurie M.

  • The Contest Between Athena and Poseidon. Myth, History and Art
    ANDRÁS PATAY-HORVÁTH The Contest between Athena and Poseidon. Myth, History and Art The myth was a well-known one in antiquity, and it is well-known even to- day. There are many versions in various extant literary sources1 and even some depictions in sculpture, vase painting and minor arts2. Surprisingly enough, the famous myth has not attracted much scholarly interest3. The modern commen- taries simply list the relevant passages, but hardly attempt a thorough comparative analysis4. The present paper (an updated, revised and abbreviated version of Patay-Horváth 2002a) would like to present a study, suggesting strong intercon- nections between Athenian history and the evolution of the myth. Beside the many familiar texts and works of art, I will also introduce a new piece of evidence, which has never been considered in this context and hope that it will become ap- parent, that the role of Poseidon and the sea is much more important in this myth than has generally been acknowledged. It is appropriate to begin with a fairly detailed version of the myth from the mythological textbook of Apollodorus (Bibl. III 14). It can serve as a very practi- cal introduction to the subject because it contains not only one version but some alternatives as well. Cecrops, a son of the soil, with a body compounded of man and serpent, was the first king of Attica, and the country which was formerly called Acte he named Cecropia after himself. In his time, they say, the gods resolved to take possession of cities in which each of them should receive his own peculiar wor- ship.

  • Iraklia – Original Homeland of Water
    IRAKLIA – ORIGINAL HOMELAND OF WATER Iraklia, a small Cyclades island, is a place of peace and energy for Austrian Johanna Klinar. The Underwater Photographer pictures the world below sea level with great passion. She visits the island since 1990 and initiated the social project „Elpida for Iraklia“ supporting the community members during tense times. ©Johanna Klinar Even with my eyes shut I’d probably recognize its smell, a while before the ferryboat is tied up: this familiar mixture of a bitter, salty, slight breeze from the sea, blended with those indefinable fishy odours that rise on very hot afternoons from the nets that are being prepared for the night catch. Along with a gentle touch of diesel from a small boat tuckering by. Today the wind sleeps. It’s one of those summer days that holds this obvious conspiracy of melting heat and complete dryness. You can smell the dust in the motionless air and above all the gorgeous scent of wild thyme… I’m back and feel like a dry sponge filling up with impressions. Well known faces, hugs, laughter, tears of joy. About a dozen others arrive, a couple on a motorbike, one family with a car. Besides that there’s a big hustle unloading boxes of beer and wine, a barrel of raki , water in those inevitable plastic bottles, huge sacks with shining eggplant, giant potatoes and onions, boxes with bright green peppers and thick red tomatoes. Everyone gives a hand, shouting, running, laughing, sweating. The air fills with a long hoot, the ropes are loosened and pulled back up.

Still, with development on the horizon, can it keep its calm? Words by Rachel Howard Photography by Manos Chatzikonstantis JULY 2019 / ATLAS BY ETIHAD 71 ack in the 1980s, there were plenty of Greek islands where you could go completely off-grid. And you didn’t have to travel 12 hours on a ferry Bboat from Athens to reach them. I’ve lived in Greece on and off since I was six. I remember, on the Friday after- noons of my youth, I’d jump on the back of my friend Oliver’s motorbike and off we’d go to the scrappy port of Lavrion for the one-hour ferry to Kea, the closest of the Cyclades Islands to Attica. Oliver’s mother had rented a tiny farmhouse on the sage-scented slopes of a valley. Built of solid rock, the low-slung house was only accessible by a prickly footpath. The walls were as thick as the trunks of the ancient oak trees that shaded the terrace. There was no electricity; we cooked in a wood-fired oven outside, played cards by paraffin lamp and fell into a dreamless sleep in the womb of the cool stone walls, which sloped inwards until they almost met above our bed.
