  • The Philistine Emergence and Its Possible Bearing on The
    STEPHANOS VOGAZIANOS THE PHILISTINE EMERGENCE AND ITS POSSIBLE BEARING ON THE APPEARANCE AND ACTIVITIES OF AEGEAN INVADERS IN THE EAST MEDITERRANEAN AREA AT THE END OF THE MYCENAEAN PERIOD INTRODUCTION This paper has been undertaken with a view to tracing the connection between the Old Testament Philistines - plst or prst in the Ramessid inscriptions - and the Aegean people during the time of the social and political unrest in the Aegean sea, with special reference to the tribe which is referred to as «Dorians» in the writings of later Greek historians - that is, the «Northern intruders* of Greek written and oral tradition who are credited with having wiped out the Mycenaean palace civilization. Much emphasis has been laid so far on the many common aspects of Philistine and Minoan/ Mycenaean cultures; these aspects have been considered by quite a number of scholars to be so numerous that any resemblance between the Philistine culture and any culture other than those quoted above would require neither to be investigated as remarkable nor even to be thought of as likely. However, there seems to be evidence in favour of a connection between the Philistines and the so-called «Dorians» of the Greek tradition and this paper sets out to render this connection clear and also to put forward the theory that by virtue of this relationship the ties linking the Philistines with the Dorians may well be stronger than those connecting them with either the Minoans or the Mycenaeans. Relevant archaeological and literary records will both be drawn upon extensively throughout the text in an attempt, by supplementing one another, to draw a picture of what the various developments could have been like.

I would like to emphasize that history is a science that establishes historical truth through scientific methods... In this sense, history is not negotiable. The history of the ancient world has already been written and documented, over the cen- turies, through laborious scientific research by acclaimed international historians and archaeolo- gists.” Dora Bakoyannis, foreign minister of Greece (30.03.2009) 4 INTRO Today's Greek propaganda does everything it can to convince the world that ancient Macedonia was "Greek" and that the ancient Macedonians were "Greeks" as well. The reasons for this are merely political and well-known. It is of great importance to Greece to prove that the name Macedonia and the ancient Macedonians were "Greek", which means that today's Macedonians "have no historical right" to use these "Greek" names. However, despite these claims, relevant Greek sources say that the biggest opponents of today's Greek propaganda are exactly the works of the ancient Greek historians! A lot of these works contain indisputable claims that the ancient Macedonians were not only not "Greek" (Helens), but that they were, in a big part of their history, very unfriendly towards each other.

THE SIEGE-WORKS OF THE ATHENIANS AT SYRACUSE BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF GYLIPPUS 1 As soon as the Athenians had obtained possession of 414 Epipolae, they fortified a point known as Labdalum, which looked from the north side of the cliff towards Megara. From Labdalum they marched down Epipolae towards the walls of the city, searching for a site suitable for the building of a central fort which might serve them as a base of operations while engaged in circumvallating the city. Presently they found themselves in a broad open table -land which de- scended by a barely perceptible incline to the walls of Achradina. In selecting the site for this central fortress, the Athenian generals had to look for a point which lay about half-way between the Great Harbour and the northern sea—since to those limits their projected lines were to be carried northward and southward.

Oliver, Ian Cody (Ph.D., Classics) The Audiences of Herodotus: The Influence of Performance on the Histories Thesis directed by Professor Peter Hunt Scholars have long recognized that Herodotus wrote his Histories when literature was often researched, composed, and circulated by oral rather than written means. Like his contemporaries, Herodotus gave oral demonstrations of his expertise (in Greek, epideixeis) in widely diverse settings across Greece. Most modern scholarship, however, treats Herodotus’ Histories as fundamentally unrelated to these performances, assuming instead that, in the Histories, Herodotus wrote for a single, broad, and Panhellenic readership. My dissertation argues that significant portions of the Histories in fact follow Herodotus’ earlier oral performances closely—sometimes so closely that the original audience and historical context can be identified. In my dissertation, I analyze three Herodotean battle narratives (Plataea, Salamis, and Thermopylae) where anomalies in composition appear to reflect these narratives’ origins as oral epideixeis with specific original performance dates.
