  • Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics The eighth-century revolution Version 1.0 December 2005 Ian Morris Stanford University Abstract: Through most of the 20th century classicists saw the 8th century BC as a period of major changes, which they characterized as “revolutionary,” but in the 1990s critics proposed more gradualist interpretations. In this paper I argue that while 30 years of fieldwork and new analyses inevitably require us to modify the framework established by Snodgrass in the 1970s (a profound social and economic depression in the Aegean c. 1100-800 BC; major population growth in the 8th century; social and cultural transformations that established the parameters of classical society), it nevertheless remains the most convincing interpretation of the evidence, and that the idea of an 8th-century revolution remains useful © Ian Morris. [email protected] 1 THE EIGHTH-CENTURY REVOLUTION Ian Morris Introduction In the eighth century BC the communities of central Aegean Greece (see figure 1) and their colonies overseas laid the foundations of the economic, social, and cultural framework that constrained and enabled Greek achievements for the next five hundred years. Rapid population growth promoted warfare, trade, and political centralization all around the Mediterranean. In most regions, the outcome was a concentration of power in the hands of kings, but Aegean Greeks created a new form of identity, the equal male citizen, living freely within a small polis. This vision of the good society was intensely contested throughout the late eighth century, but by the end of the archaic period it had defeated all rival models in the central Aegean, and was spreading through other Greek communities.

  • Green Parties and Elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Green Par Elections
    Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament.

  • IMPEL Water Crimes Workshop 24Th October 2018
    IMPEL Water Crimes Workshop 24th October 2018 in the framework of the Conference “Protecting habitats and endangered species in Europe through tackling Environmental crime” Heraklion – Crete (Gr) 22th - 24th October, 2018 Introduction The environment provides the very foundation of sustainable development, health, food security and economies. Ecosystems provide clean water supply, clean air and secure food and ultimately both physical and mental wellbeing. Natural resources also provide livelihoods, jobs and revenues to governments that can be used for education, health care, development and sustainable business models (UNEP/INTERPOL, 2016). Particularly, water, the "blue gold" (BARLOW, 2001) – called for the first time in this way by the National Post in 1999 - is a basic essential of life and a strategic resource for the future of everyone, especially the poorest. Not only is it a vital need for human survival, groundwater has many roles in regulating the structure and functioning of healthy freshwater ecosystems (YOUNGER, 2007) and to flora and fauna. It constitutes the lifeblood of many industries, from tourism to mining, from agriculture to aquaculture. Although more than 70 % of the Earth is covered in water, 97 % is held in the oceans. Of the remaining "not salty" water (3 %), only the 2 % is freshwater locked in snow and ice (e.g. glaciers), leaving less than 1 % accessible for human requirements (US Geological Survey, 2015). Moreover, freshwater is not evenly distributed: only 9 countries share 60 % of the total amount of freshwater, and Amazonia has 15 % of the total resources but only 0.3 % of the world’s population (TOMINI, 2008). While 873 million people lack access to safe drinking water (UN, 2012), some predict that by the year 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in places and under conditions in which water is scarce" (see e.g.

  • Swans on a One Way Ticket
    4~lSlb • lr -fa NEWSLETTER OF THE MALTA ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY ISSUE 10 FEBRUARY 93 Swans on a one way ticket Yes it has happened again! Some mindless. selfish and self proclaimed sportsmen have managed to eradicate a number of mute swans in less than two days, for what seemed to the swans as a temporary stop-over on our Islands. On Sunday. 10 January. a flock of around 24 graceful white mute swans were noticed in the vicinity of Ghadira Bay. On Monday morning. Charles Gauci. the warden at the Ghadira Nature Reserve called the MOS office to inform that a swan was resting in the Reserve. The MOS Director Paul Portelli was already becoming worried because since that evening there would be almost a full moon. this could prove to be of a disadvantage to the swan. The Director made all the necessary arrangements with the television crew of P.B.S.Ltd. to go and film this unusual visitor for the eight o'clock news. Imagine the sight of this and maybe other swans placidly enjoying our mild winter weather. One must remember that the last recorded sighting of mute swans in Malta was in 1985. But, how foolish we had been. We had underestimated the odds. At around 11.00am Charles Gauci informed us that the swan had left the Reserve. Once it left the protection of the Reserve it needed all the luck it could get. By 11.30 am we received a phone call informing us that some hunters were coming ashore at Xemxija with a dead swan as their victim.

  • The Myth of the War of the Seven and Pausanias’ Educational Topography*
    THE MYTH OF THE WAR OF THE SEVEN AND PAUSANIAS’ EDUCATIONAL TOPOGRAPHY* Andrej Yu. MOZHAJSKY The article examines the monuments of Thebes mentioned by Pausanias and related to the story of Seven against Thebes. It is claimed that these monuments were a part of the local educational practice, which reflected the Theban mythical history and fostered patriotism. Most of the monuments were located near the gates of the Kadmeia (at a distance of up to 260 m) and formed a close circle of monuments. In some cases, the monuments formed a far circle (at a distance of 300 to 500–960 m from the gates). The first of the mon- uments considered is the monument associated with Amphiaraos. Regarding the place where the earth swallowed Amphiaraos, there exist two traditions, namely the “Theban” and the “Tanagrian” ones. It is hypothesized that the “Tanagrian” tradition was adapted by the residents of Oropos and, thus, reflected in Euripides’ tragedy The Phoenician Women. The educational topography of Pausanias shows that the “Theban” version is consistent with the text of Aischylos’ tragedy Seven against Thebes, while the “Tanagrian” version is con- sistent with the text of The Phoenician Women by Euripides. The lo- cation of the tombs of Melanippos and Tydeus near the Proitides gates also corresponds to the tradition captured by Aischylos, which presumably reflects the local, or “Theban”, version of the myth. Through Pausanias’ educational topography, the connection of the figure of Kapaneus with the Elektrai Gates and the walls of Thebes is emphasized, which is confirmed by the evidence of material culture.
