  • Hippocrates' Memories of Scythia: Stories And
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Bra şov • Vol. 6 (51) - 2009 Series 6: Medical Sciences Supplement – Proceeding of The IV th Balkan Congress of History of Medicine HIPPOCRATES’ MEMORIES OF SCYTHIA: STORIES AND FAIRYTALES 1 Α. DIAMANDOPOULOS Abstract: This presentation will deal with Hippocrates’ journey to Scythia and with medical and general observations on that country and its people. The bulk of this information is derived from his work “On airs, waters and places” which is generally regarded as authentic. It is a comprehensive study of ethno-geography, correlating the medical problems of residents with climate changes, the political situation and the psychological aspects of their personality. We thought that an interesting way to present this would be in the form of a story, both because the country itself was considered legendary, and because its people - men and women – that invaded Greek myths and the descriptions by Greek authors were reminiscent of fairytales. We thus see that Scythia, a faraway country, unknown and charming, had, long before Hippocrates’ visit, penetrated Greek thought through mythology, religion, commerce and art and the descriptions of contemporary travellers, like Herodotus. It should be noted here that certain historians are unconvinced that he travelled to Scythia and believe, instead, that he describes the impressions of another. His work, however, “On airs, waters and places”, is believed to be authentic. It begins with a description of this nation, writing that “What is called the Scythian desert is prairies, rich in meadows, high-lying, and well watered; for the rivers which carry off the water from the plains are large.

Ruins of great palaces with beautiful paintings were found in Knossos, Phaistos, and Mallia.

  • Re-Imagining Greek Identity in an Era of Mass Migration
    Re-imagining Greek Identity in an Era of Mass Migration Philip Angelides Colorado College Abstract Greek nationalism emerging out of the Enlightenment stressed the primordial belief that Modern Greeks are the descendents of the Ancient Greeks. This type of nationalism was exclusionary and repressive towards foreigners, yet is pervasive in contemporary Greek immigration policy. Greek immigration is incredibly important today because in 2010 alone, 90 percent of detected illegal immigrants in the European Union entered through Greece, a large percentage of these being Muslim immigrants. In this paper I contend that political rights must be granted to Muslim immigrants that call Greece their home, for ethnocultural differences should not preclude political, economic or social integration. Individual characteristics of the members of the community should not determine whether they are worthy of political rights or not. Terms for immigrants should rather be defined in political and institutional terms rather than in ethnic and cultural; only though recognizing the ability for Muslims to participate in the political and economic life of the Greek state can peaceful coexistence materialize. This paper, thus, is particularly significant because it exposes the Greek path dependency on a flawed immigration policy and suggests ways for reconciling national identity in an era of mass migration. 1 Table of Contents I.

  • On the Map Projection of Rigas Velestinlis Charta (*)
    e-Perimetron , Vol. 3, No. 3, 2008 [146-160] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Chryssoula Boutoura * On the map projection of Rigas Velestinlis Charta (*) Keywords : Rigas Velestinlis; Rigas Charta ; Greek enlightenment; Eighteenth century cartography; map projections; Delisle map tradition. Summary The cartographic work of Rigas Velestinlis, the major figure of the Greek Enlightenment and an activist of the Greek Resurgence in the late eighteenth century, is not well known in the interna- tional cartographic literature, despite the fact that his masterpiece the twelve-sheet Charta (1797) is one of the most interesting cartographic products of the period. The few existing relevant refer- ences in the non-Greek bibliography, almost exclusively in French, describe Charta mainly as an intellectual work rather than a real cartographic product, from the scientific and technological points of cartographic view. This paper describes and explains for the first time an important con- stituent of Rigas Charta as it is the projection of the map and its framing of geographic meridians and parallels. Departing from the dominant at that time Delisle cartographic representation models (Delisle, 1700; Senex, 1721; Blair, 1768; Lotter, 1778; Delisle, 1794, et al.), the Delisle map pro- jection is implemented in the study of Rigas map proving that despite the fact that his Charta fol- lows the geographic content according to Delisle mapping parametrization, its graticule framing is erroneously traced deviating the Delisle’s relevant standard. Introduction Rigas Velestinlis is one of the major figures of Greek Enlightenment and a top activist of the Greek Re- surgence in the late eighteenth century 1.

  • Greek War of Independence (1821–1832) by Ioannis Zelepos
    Greek War of Independence (1821–1832) by Ioannis Zelepos This article deals with developments leading up to, the unfolding of and the outcome of the Greek War of Independence which began in 1821, while focusing in particular on the international dimension of the conflict. Just as diaspora communities in western and central Europe who had been influenced by the French Revolution of 1789 had played a central role in the emergence of the Greek nationalist movement, the insurrection itself also quickly became an international media event throughout Europe. It was the European great powers who ultimately rescued the rebellion (which was hopelessly divided and which had actually failed militarily) through largescale intervention and who put the seal on Greek sovereignty in 1830/32. The emergence of Greece as a European project between great power politics and philhellenism had a profound effect on the further development of the country. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
