In order to determine the processes which contributed in the configuration of the fan delta during the last two centuries a detailed geomor- phic map was prepared depicting both the deltaic plain and the coastal zone fea tures. Comparative examination of 1945, 1986 and 1998 aerial photographs and re liable maps of the last two centuries along with field observations detected recent changes of the fan delta. The construction of a dam in the upper reaches of the basin in 1980 has significantly decreased the sediment supply downstream and has slack ened the growth of the fan delta. After 1980 the eastern distributary has been aban doned causing a 120 m retreat at the river mouth. Although a progradation rate of 4 m/year has been observed for the western active distributary in the period between 1945 and 1986, no remarkable changes have occurred since that period. -

The Emigration of Muslims from the Greek State in the 19Th Century
BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA XXVII Poznań 2020 THE EMIGRATION OF MUSLIMS FROM THE GREEK STATE 1 IN THE 19TH CENTURy. AN OUTLINE kr z y s z t o f Po P e k Abstract. Modern Greek statehood began to take shape with the War of Independence that broke out in 1821 and continued with varying intensity for the next years. As a result of these events, the Greeks cast of the foreign rule, which for many not only meant separation from the Ottoman Empire, but also the expulsion of Muslims living in these lands. During the uprising, about 25 000 Muslims lost their lives, and a similar number emigrated from the territory of the future Greek state. The next great exodus of Muslims from Greek lands was related to the an- nexation of Thessaly by the Hellenic Kingdom, which was to a larger extent spread over time. Since the region was incorporated into Greece until the beginning of the 20th century, the 40 000-strong Islamic community had virtually disappeared.

Kynomartyrion)
DOG SACRIFICE IN ANCIENT AND MODERN GREECE: FROM THE SACRIFICE RITUAL TO DOG TORTURE (KYNOMARTYRION) Manolis G. Sergis Abstract: The article presents and discusses the custom of kynomartyrion (dog torture) which took place in the Greek lands until the 1980s. In many areas it stopped in the 1930s because of its cruelty. The author begins his discussion with the presentation of some elements that are related to the dog. More spe- cifically, the dog is an animal that entered the humanized environment long ago and belongs to the creatures whose nature is twofold because it is part of the human and the non-human worlds and it has been treated as twofold by at least the Indo-Europeans. It is also maintained that the liminal Hellenistic period was decisive for the formation of folk worship because of the religious syncre- tism and the invasion of demons that dominated in the Eastern Mediterranean. The author points out its remarkable similarities to ancient Greek and Roman (and Indo-European) fertile, cathartic and other sacrificial practices. Due to industrialization of agriculture and rationalization of the magical way of thought of the “traditional” peasant, performance of the custom was transformed into a folkloric, spectacular one with intensely violent and sadistic behaviour on the part of humans in the places where it still took place after 1960. The writer argues that violence was always an inherent characteristic of the custom. None- theless, the archaic, and later folk thinking ritualized the performance and attributed to it a different facet, devoid of any sacred elements, during the 20th century where its inherent violence was manifested in its raw essence. -
Nafpaktos Schräg Gegenüber Von Patras Liegt Ein Kleines Äußerst Malerisches Städtchen – Nafpaktos
Nafpaktos Schräg gegenüber von Patras liegt ein kleines äußerst malerisches Städtchen – Nafpaktos. Es hat einen winzigen Hafen, der durch eine Art Stadtmauer befestigt ist. Rechts und links der Hafeneinfahrt stehen kleine Türmchen auf der Mauer, ein sehr schönes Bild. Oberhalb des Städtchens liegt die Ruine einer ziemlich groß angelegten venezianischen Festung, deren Mauern bis hinunter zum Meer gehen. Und oberhalb gibt es eine wunderschöne Taverne, von der aus man einen einmaligen Blick auf die Stadt und den Golf von Patras hat. Und im Hafen gibt es ausgezeichnete Restaurants, man sitzt sozusagen auf der Stadtmauer und hat beim Essen einen wunderbaren Blick auf den kleinen Hafen. Was hat es auf sich mit Nafpaktos? Dazu muss man in die Geschichte zurückgehen – da hieß das Städtchen nicht Nafpaktos, sondern Lepanto. Nach der Eroberung Konstantinopels 1453 durch die Türken gab es ja immer wieder Versuche seitens der Türken/des Osmanischen Reiches, Griechenland und den Balkan – mit Ziel Europa insgesamt – zu erobern. Einer dieser Versuche endete am 7. Oktober 1571 in der Seeschlacht von Lepanto, unweit des heutigen Städtchens Nafpaktos. Es war die letzte Seeschlacht mit von Sklaven geruderten Galeeren. 212 Kriegsschiffe der „Heiligen Liga“ gegen 260 Kriegsschiffe der Osmanen; 68000 Spanier, Italiener, Österreicher, Venezianer und Soldaten des Papstes gegen 77000 Osmanen. Don Juan de Austria, ein Sohn des Habsburgerkaisers Karl V., führte die Koalition an. Diese hatte sich gebildet, weil die Osmanen Zypern erobert hatten, das bisher zu Venedig gehörte. Venedig wollte seinen Mittelmeerhandel erhalten und erweitern – der Papst hoffte auf eine Renaissance der Kreuzzüge gegen die „Ungläubigen“. Das Zweckbündnis hielt nicht lange, der Sieg festigte die europäische Vormachtstellung der Habsburger. -
