Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact. -
Two Cases of Melanism in the Ring-Headed Dwarf Snake Eirenis Modestus (Martin, 1838) from Kastellorizo, Greece (Serpentes: Colubridae)
Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 175-178 (2018) (published online on 20 February 2018) Two cases of melanism in the Ring-headed Dwarf Snake Eirenis modestus (Martin, 1838) from Kastellorizo, Greece (Serpentes: Colubridae) Konstantinos Kalaentzis1,*, Christos Kazilas1 and Ilias Strachinis1 Pigmentation serves a protective role in many 2016). A possible adaptive hypothesis for melanism in animals, including snakes, whether it functions in snakes is protection against sun damage (Lorioux et al., camouflage, warning, mimicry, or thermoregulation 2008; Jablonski and Kautman, 2017). (Bechtel, 1978; Krecsák, 2008). The observable The Ring-headed Dwarf Snake, Eirenis modestus colouration and pattern of a snake is the result of the (Martin, 1838), is a medium-sized colubrid snake presence of variously coloured pigments in specific reaching a maximum total length of 70 cm (Çiçek and places in the skin (Bechtel, 1978). Four different types Mermer, 2007). The Dwarf Snake inhabits rocky areas of pigment-bearing cells called chromatophores can with sparse vegetation and often hides under stones, be found in the skin of reptiles, namely melanophores, where it feeds mainly on terrestrial arthropods (Çiçek iridophores, erythrophores, and xanthophores (Bechtel, and Mermer, 2007). It is widely distributed (Fig. 1), 1978). Abnormalities in the pigment formation or the occurring mainly in the Caucasus (Armenia, southern interaction between the different types of pigment may Azerbaijan, eastern Georgia, southern Russia), Greece result in various chromatic disorders, which cause (on the islands of Alatonissi, Chios, Fournoi, Kalymnos, abnormal colouration of the skin and its derivatives Kastellorizo, Leros, Lesvos, Samiopoula, Samos, (Rook et al., 1998).

The Christian Remains of the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse
1974, 3) THE BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGIST 69 The Christian Remains of the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse OTTO F. A. MEINARDU S Athens, Greece Some months ago, I revisited the island of Patmos and the sites of the seven churches to which letters are addressed in the second and third chap- ters of the book of Revelation. What follows is a report on such Christian remains as have survived and an indication of the various traditions which have grown up at the eight locations, where, as at so many other places in the Orthodox and Latin world, piety has sought tangible localization. I set out from Piraeus and sailed to the island of Patmos, off the Turkish coast, which had gained its significance because of the enforced exile of God's servant John (Rev. 1:1, 9) and from the acceptance of the Revelation in the NT canon. From the tiny port of Skala, financial and tourist center of Patmos, the road ascends to the 11th century Greek Orthodox monastery of St. John the Theologian. Half way to this mighty fortress monastery, I stopped at the Monastery of the Apocalypse, which enshrines the "Grotto of the Revelation." Throughout the centuries pilgrims have come to this site to receive blessings. When Pitton de Tournefort visited Patmos in 1702, the grotto was a poor hermitage administered by the bishop of Samos. The abbot presented de Tournefort with pieces of rock from the grotto, assuring him that they could expel evil spirits and cure diseases. Nowadays, hundreds of western tourists visit the grotto daily, especially during the summer, and are shown those traditional features which are related in one way or another with the vision of John. -

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. -

Island World of the Sporades & Cyclades: Thessaloniki
ISLAND WORLD OF THE SPORADES & CYCLADES: THESSALONIKI – ATHENS True Greece: the Sporades Rebetiko strains are drifting from a taverna, rugged rocks enclose sandy bathing beaches, chapels gleam white as chalk under a deep blue sky – does this Greek postcard idyll really exist? It does, on the Sporades! With its olive trees and pine forests, monasteries and 60 glorious beaches, Skiathos is considered the most beautiful island by many. The magic of the Cyclades Houses like sugar cubes, blue window-frames, narrow winding streets lined with flowers, windmills and small churches – Mykonos, perhaps the most famous of the Cycladic islands, could have come straight from a book. Set against fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, elegant restaurants, quaint taverns and sophisticated cafés are perfect for whiling away the hours, and the promenade offers visitors a spectacular view of a romantic sunset. The charming capital of the Cyclades accomplishment. A great number of monumental neo-classical Ermoupolis, capital of the island of Syros and the entire buildings create the impression of a sophisticated city. As you Cyclades, was built on two hills and is a unique architectural ascend, the opulence and vastness give way to a maze of narrow passages, creating a more medieval atmosphere. And no matter where you are in this city, the cafés and taverns are filled with Greeks alone, and tourists are nowhere to be seen.
