  • American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 the Index Is Geared Toward Subjects, Sites, and Major
    American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 The index is geared toward subjects, sites, and major figures in the history of the School, and only the major subject of an article. Not every individual has a cross-entry: look for subject and site, first—entries that will tend to be more complete. Note: The symbol (F) next to an entry signifies the presence of a photograph of the subject. S = Spring [occasionally, Summer] Issue; F = Fall Issue; and W= Winter Issue, followed by the year and page number. Parentheses within subentries surround subsubentries, which would otherwise be indented and consume more space; this level of entry is separated by commas rather than semi-colons. When in doubt in a jungle of parentheses, refer to the right of the last semi-colon for the relevant subhead. Where this method becomes less effective, e.g., at “mega”-entries like the Gennadeion, typesetting devices like boldface and indentation have been added.

Add extra nights in Vitina, Stemnitsa and Dimitsana to relax and experience the culture of the region. How much walking? Full days: 14-22½ kms per day, 5-8½ hrs walking Using shortening options: 9-16 kms per day, 2½-5 hrs walking using taxi starts Max. Grade: page 1/8 The Menalon Trail, named after the massif that forms the backbone of the Peloponnese (all of mainland Greece south of the Corinth Canal), uses many of the old paths and mule tracks that linked the villages with the fields, pastures and forests of this remote part of the region – it’s about as far from the sea and its undoubted attractions as you can get. With scenic hill walking, and some very pretty and thriving ancient stone villages, it is best used as the core of a longer holiday in the region – perhaps you could take in the sites of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and many others; hiring a car from the airport will also reduce transfer costs (see “prices”). This is an area visited by Greeks in the winter, while the spring and autumn are the preserve of the hill walkers. Even the summer is possible (though July in particular can be very hot) as much of the walking is in native pine and fir forest, with dappled sunlight enlivening the shade.

  • Gennadeion Notes, I
    GENNADEION NOTES, I (PLATES 119-124) T nHE Gennadius Library, though it has been an integral part of the American School of Classical Studies since 1926, has too often remained terra incognita, or parum cognita, to many of the School's members and visitors. The reasons are not far to seek. As a collector and bibliophile,John Gennadiustook for his subject Greece, Greece in all its aspects and of all periods, classical, medieval and modern alike. Much of the collection, therefore, lies outside the normal range of classical studies. More- over, the classical section, rich though it is in certain restricted areas, notably in Renaissance editions of Greek authors and in early archaeological publications, is far from adequate for most types of research. By deliberate policy, to avoid unnecessary duplication with the main library of the School, new accessions are made almost en- tirely in the post-classical fields, and the classical portion of Gennadius' collection remains substantially as he left it. Nevertheless, it 'contains many rare items of great value and interest to the student of antiquity, and it seems appropriate, as occasion offers, to call some of these to the attention of classicists through the pages of Hesperia. The followingInote is presented, optimistically, as the first of a proposed series. I. ENGLISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL DRAWINGS OF THE XVIIITmI CENTURY' The Antiquities of Athens, measured and delineated by James Stuart, F.R.S. and F.S.A., and Nicholas Revett, painters and architects: Volume the first was printed in London in 1762.

TO PETER SOMMER TR AVELS Writing this in autumn 2020, it is hard to know quite where to begin. I usually review the season just gone, the new tours that we ran, the preparatory recces we made, the new tours we are unveiling for the next year, the feedback we have received and our exciting plans for the future. However, as you well know, this year has been unlike any other in our collective memory. Our exciting plans for 2020 were thrown into disarray, just like many of yours. We were so disappointed that so many of you were unable to travel with us in 2020. Our greatest pleasure is to share the destinations we have grown to love so deeply with you our wonderful guests. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with many of you personally during the 2020 season. I was warmed and touched by your support, your understanding, your patience, and your generosity. All of us here at PST are extremely grateful and heartened by your enthusiasm and eagerness to travel with us when it becomes possible. PST is a small, flexible, and dynamic company. We have weathered countless downturns during the many years we have been operating. Elin, my wife, and I have always reinvested in the business with long term goals and are very used to surviving all manner of curve balls, although COVID-19 is certainly the biggest we have yet faced.

The Megalopolis basin develops on the hanging-wall of the W. Mainalo Fault System, which accommodates the deformation associated with the exhumation of the PQ metamorphics in the window of Assea, east of the MB. During the early stages of basin development, NNW-SSE normal faults controlled its eastern margin. These interacted with and gradually dismembered the ENE-WSW ones that were related to pre-Pliocene extension. The establishment of ENE-WSW Quaternary extension in the southern Peloponnese is associated with major, range-bounding NNW-SSE faults, such as the Sparta F.

The4 | Acropolis at sunrise ABOUT THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS Founded in 1881, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is the oldest and largest U.S. overseas research institution. A consortium of nearly 200 North American colleges and universities, the School provides graduate students and scholars a base for the advanced study of all aspects of Greek culture, from antiquity to the present day. The School remains, as its founders envisioned, primarily a privately funded, nonprofit educational and cultural center dedicated to preserving and promoting Greece’s rich heritage. The mission of the School is to advance knowledge of Greece (and related Mediterranean areas) in all periods by training young scholars, sponsoring and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The School is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research in the country and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.
