Using archaeological and textual evidence, Connelly challenges long-held beliefs about gender roles in the ancient world to show that priestesses were far more significant public figures than previously acknowledged. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals how women in religious office—unlike other areas of Greek society—enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary. “[T]he first full-length work to take the Greek priestess specifi- cally as its subject.

Session 7A: Presidential Colloquium the 2011–2019 Excavations at Huqoq in Israel’S Galilee
120TH ANNUAL MEETING ABSTRACTS 233 Session 7A: Presidential Colloquium The 2011–2019 Excavations at Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee Organizer: Jodi Magness, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Colloquium Overview Statement Since 2011, excavations at Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee have been bringing to light the remains of a monumental, Late Roman (fifth century C.E.) synagogue paved with unparalleled mosaic floors depicting a variety of biblical and non-biblical scenes. The papers in this colloquium present various aspects of the excavation re- sults, beginning with an overview of the excavations and followed by descriptions and analyses of the synagogue mosaics, the painted and molded plaster decora- tion of the synagogue, the architecture of the synagogue and a medieval reuse of the building, and the coins from the excavations, including a hoard of fifteenth- century gold and silver coins discovered in 2018. The 2017–2019 Excavations at Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee Jodi Magness, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Shua Kisilevitz, Israel Antiquities Authority, Matthew Grey, Brigham Young University, Dennis Mizzi, University of Malta, and Jocelyn Burney, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Since 2011, Jodi Magness of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has directed excavations in the ancient village of Huqoq in Eastern Lower Galilee, as- sisted by Shua Kisilevitz of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The excavations have brought to light parts of the Jewish village of the fifth to sixth centuries and the Ottoman period Muslim village of Yakuk. In this paper, we report on the results of the 2017–2019 excavation seasons, which focused on a monumental, Late Roman (early fifth century) synagogue paved with extraordinary mosaics depicting an unparalleled series of biblical scenes including Jonah and the fish; the building of the tower of Babel; and the four beasts of Daniel’s vision.

The Hellenic-American Cultural Foundation The Hellenic-American Cultural Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, was established to organize and promote high quality and relevant educational and cultural programs, concerts, lectures, exhibits, and similar events for all persons interested in the history, culture and affairs of Greece and its people and the people of Greek ancestry outside of Greece. 2020 Beethoven and his Legacy: Schubert, Kuhlau and Tsontakis A Virtual Concert | YouTube: October 29, 2020 We estimate more than 700 people, and counting, have viewed this mesmerizing performance. The event was reviewed by The National Herald. Pianist Maria Asteriadou and violinist Kurt Nikkanen returned to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. Accompanied by Grammy-nominated flutist, Carol Wincenc, the concert live-streamed chamber music works by Beethoven, Schubert, Kuhlau, and Tsontakis from Schaeffer Auditorium at Kutztown University. The program explored the profound influence Beethoven’s work has had on subsequent generations of composers. Franz Schubert was a passionate devotee of Beethoven, Friedrich Kuhlau was known as the “Beethoven of the Flute,” and Musical America has described Greek-American composer George Tsontakis’ String Quartet No. 4 as “containing a reflective emotional power reminiscent of Beethoven’s late quartets.” Heralded by The New York Times as “an artist with intense personality, virtuosic flair, unusual poise and intimate contact with style,” Greek pianist Maria Asteriadou is an acclaimed soloist and chamber musician. Kurt Nikkanen made his Carnegie Hall debut at the age of twelve, and is Concertmaster of the New York City Ballet Orchestra and an international soloist of the highest order.
