VIA EGNATIA AND CORRIDOR 8 HOW WAS USED AND ABUSED A ROAD Later on, during the period of Greek colonization, Epidamnos was the first Greek colony in the Adriatic Sea, mentioning older contacts and served for the penetration of Greek culture into Balkans. VIA EGNATIA AND CORRIDOR 8 HOW WAS USED AND ABUSED A ROAD The Temple of Apollo?, located 3 km in north of the city. It was decorated with painted Architectural Terracottas with both woman’s and lion’s heads 570-560 BC VIA EGNATIA AND CORRIDOR 8 HOW WAS USED AND ABUSED A ROAD Corinthian Imports in Epidamnos Oinochoe painted with animals in the Orientalising Style VIIth century BC VIA EGNATIA AND CORRIDOR 8 HOW WAS USED AND ABUSED A ROAD Trebenishta is located on the road from Ohrid to Kichevo, is a village in the Debarca municipality of Macedonia. Archaeologically is documented that Romans followed the older traces of the road functioned since Classical period. In Trebeniste, near Ohrid are uncovered some Greek imports, dated in fifth century BC. See B. D. Filow & K. Schkorpil, Die archaische Nekropole von Trebenischte am Ochrida-See, (Berlin & Leipzig 1927). VIA EGNATIA AND CORRIDOR 8 HOW WAS USED AND ABUSED A ROAD Epidamnos, Dyrrachium or Durres was one of the most important entrances to the Balkans; from it ran the main road which connected the western provinces including Italy with Macedonia and the East, and based on its historical position Durres will be the hosting city.

These cities were both the Channel ports for Italy and the West; and the eastern end of the Via Egnatia was at the entry into Asia Minor. Gaius Octavius, known to history first as Octavian and then as Augustus Caesar Octavian, the first Roman Emperor, was a 18-year-old student at Apollonia when news comes in 44 BC that his uncle, Caesar, has been assassinated in Rome.

In fact the road from Apollonia to Dyrrachium was just such a coastal road. From Clodiana it crossed the mountains Candavii and arrived in Lychnidus (Ochrid), after that passed from Illyria and Macedonia to Pylon, touched Heraclea (Monastir), Edessa and Pella and arrived till Salonica. Polibio presented this city as terminal station of this highway, 267 miles long.

Tomb 1 (4th-6th century AD) At the end of 1999 a new Rescue Archaeology Unit was set up at Rrogozhina, about 65 km south of Tirana. Two hypogeous tombs were found, damaged during the excavation by heavy machinery during gravel extraction for the construction of a new road called the 'Eighth Corridor‘. One of the tombs (the second one has been almost completely destroyed) is composed of a corridor- shaped antechamber and a funerary chamber, divided by a single doorway in limestone with doorposts and threshold.

  • Τhe Danger of Participating in the Heavy Games of the Ancient Olympics
    Available online at www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library European Journal of Sports & Exercise Science, 2019, 7 (1): 1-6 (http://www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com) ISSN:2278–005X The Danger of Participating in the Heavy Games of the Ancient Olympics Andreas Bourantanis* Department of Sports Science and Physical Education, Democritus University of Thrace, University of Dundee, United Kingdom; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Through the present, we seek to stimulate the interest of researchers and practitioners at the scientific and non- scientific level as well as the athletes and coaches associated with today's so-called combat sports to turn their concern to the proper adaptation of the ancient Greek Olympic ideal and Olympic Games. Our concern is to motivate the Olympic Committee with a view to reintroducing the sport to the Olympics Sports program. The Olympic Games were the oldest and most remarkable games of the ancient Greek world as a whole, among the events included in the sports program. The Olympics cultivated the body and the mind. Characterizing Pankration the ancient Greek writer Philostratus said it was the best of the Olympic Games. Although the Olympics were reconstituted, Pankration was not included in the sports program of modern Olympics. However this fact has left a gap in the schedule of the Olympics because it is paradoxical that the absence of the event that contributed to the Olympic Games’ prestige is absent. Research is to present some of the techniques that were used by the most famous athletes in antiquity while trying to investigate the dangers as well as the general danger of using these techniques and the damage to the human body.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

  • THE DIONYSIAN PARADE and the POETICS of PLENITUDE by Professor Eric Csapo 20 February 2013 ERIC CSAPO
    UCL DEPARTMENT OF GREEK AND LATIN HOUSMAN LECTURE UCL Housman Lecture THE DIONYSIAN PARADE AND THE POETICS OF PLENITUDE by Professor Eric Csapo 20 February 2013 ERIC CSAPO A.E. Housman (1859–1936) Born in Worcestershire in 1859, Alfred Edward Housman was a gifted classical scholar and poet. After studying in Oxford, Housman worked for ten years as a clerk, while publishing and writing scholarly articles on Horace, Propertius, Ovid, Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles. He gradually acquired such a high reputation that in 1892 he returned to the academic world as Professor of Classics at University College London (1892–1911) and then as Kennedy Professor of Latin at Trinity College, Cambridge (1911–1936). Housman Lectures at UCL The Department of Greek and Latin at University College London organizes regular Housman Lectures, named after its illustrious former colleague (with support from UCL Alumni). Housman Lectures, delivered by a scholar of international distinction, originally took place every second year and now happen every year, alternating between Greek and Roman topics (Greek lectures being funded by the A.G. Leventis Foundation). The fifth Housman lecture, which was given by Professor Eric Csapo (Professor of Classics, University of Sydney) on 20 February 2013, is here reproduced with minor adjustments. This lecture and its publication were generously supported by the A.G. Leventis Foundation. 2 HOUSMAN LECTURE The Dionysian Parade and the Poetics of Plenitude Scholarship has treated our two greatest Athenian festivals very differently.1 The literature on the procession of the Panathenaea is vast. The literature on the Parade (pompe) of the Great Dionysia is miniscule.

  • Greece, the Land Where Myths Replaces Reality
    GREECE, THE LAND WHERE MYTHS REPLACE REALITY (Myths about Epirus) What is myth and what does it serve? Myth is a narrative based usually on a false story which can not be used as a replacement of history, but sometimes myth might be considered a distorted account of a real historical event. The myth does not differ much from a folktale and usually the boundary between them is very thin. Myth must not be used to reconstruct, however in the ancient society of the so called “”Ancient Greeks”” myth was usually regarded as a true account for a remote past. Surprisingly this ‘tradition’ is descended to the Modern Greeks as well. They never loose the chance to use the myths and the mythology of a remote past and to pose them as their real ethnic history. This job is being done combining the ancient myths with the ones already created in the modern era. Now let’s take a look at two Greek myths, respectively one ancient and one modern, while our job is to prove that even these myths are respectively hijacked or created to join realities not related to each other, but unfortunately propagandized belonging to a real history, the history of the Greek race. Thus before we analyze and expose some of their myths which are uncountable, we are inclined to say that whatever is considered Greek History is completely based on mythical stories, whose reliability and truthiness is deeply compromised for the mere fact that is based on myths not only by the Modern Greeks and especially philhellenes, but even by the ancient authors.

  • The History of Roman Durrës (I-IV E.S.)
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 2 S2 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy August 2015 The History of Roman Durrës (I-IV E.S.) Arlind Kasa PhD Candidate, Faculty of Business, “Aleksander Moisiu” University, Durrës, Albania Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n2s2p28 Abstract The main purpose of this presentation is to review and reappraise of the ancients fonts with new archaeological found discovered recently in Durrës, in these fifteen years. The city of Durrës in ancient periods was named Epidamnos, after Dyrrachium in Roman period and now Durrës. I will discuss for the roman colonization in Dyrrachium, when he was founded, why was changed the name in roman period, why Dyrrachium lost his independence and what had happened in Dyrrachium during Imperial Roman Period based in new archaeological found that had helped to reappraise of ancient authors. Keywords: hellen colonization of Epidamnos, Illirian people in Epidamnos, Dyrrachium, Imperial Roman Period. 1. Introduction Epidamnos-Dyrrachium were the names that Durrës had in ancient periods. The researchers are in one mind that these two names tell two different part of the city. Thucydidis had told us that Epidamnos was founded by Greek colons from Corcyra and Corinthin 627 B. C (Thycydides, 2002). Another question for to discuss is: Epidamnos and Dyrrachium were one or two different city? Today exist three theories that treated these problem. The first, is that Epidamnos and Dyrrachium was an only city, which in early period was called Epidamnos and when Durrës was invaded from Rome, they changed the name in Dyrrachium because the name Epidamnos was sinister for roman than remembers the word damnus (bad) (Melae, 2002; Plinus, 2002; Appiani, 2002).

  • How to Write History: Thucydides and Herodotus in the Ancient Rhetorical Tradition
    How to write history: Thucydides and Herodotus in the ancient rhetorical tradition A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Scott Kennedy, B.A., B.S. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Adviser Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Will Batstone Copyright by Scott Kennedy 2018 Abstract Modern students of Thucydides and Herodotus may find it odd to think of them as rhetoricians. Yet in the ancient world, both historians (and especially Thucydides) played an important role in rhetorical schools. They were among the favorite authors of ancient teachers of rhetoric and served as foundational pillars of the ancient curriculum, providing themes for school exercises and even for such seminal texts as Hermogenes' theoretical treatises on rhetoric. Modern scholars might never read technical rhetorical texts such as Hermogenes. They almost certainly would never turn to Hermogenes and his kind to help them understand Thucydides or Herodotus. But for our ancient intellectual predecessors, such an approach would have been unconscionable, as ancient rhetoric was the theoretical lens with which they understood and appreciated historical writings. In this dissertation, I explore the confluence of rhetoric and historiography in the ancient world through an examination of how Herodotus and Thucydides were used in ancient schools and then by later historians. Chapter 1 and 2 outline how these historians were embedded and encoded within the rhetorical curriculum. In Chapter 1, I examine how Herodotus and Thucydides entered the rhetorical curriculum and how rhetors incorporated them into the rhetorical curriculum through an examination of the surviving progymnasmata, scholia, and pedagogical myths.
