L’importanza crescente che l’opera di Diodoro riveste negli studi di storia antica, non solo stret- tamente siciliana, è ormai riconosciuta ben al di là dell’ambito rigorosamente specialistico. Questa consapevolezza, già certamente presente agli organizzatori del convegno tenutosi tra Catania ed Agira nel dicembre 1984, con il coordinamento scientifico dell’Università degli Studi di Catania, risultò enormemente accresciuta dai contributi offerti, proprio in quella circostanza, alla definizione della prospettiva storica complessiva di Diodoro ed alla conoscenza del suo metodo storiografico. 1 Nell’am bito degli studi sul mondo antico, uno fra i campi di ricerca che hanno obbiettivamen- te tratto maggiori vantaggi dalla consultazione del testo diodoreo è certo quello archeologico, in relazione al quale Diodoro ha spesso fornito al dato materiale conferme e sostanza storica (antici- pandolo – talvolta - sorprendentemente), fornendo nuovi spunti alla ricerca e contribuendo ad orientare una stimolante impostazione di nuove problematiche archeologiche. Una rilettura, per ovvie ragioni selettiva, della Biblioteca, applicata all’archeologia del territo- rio provinciale di Caltanissetta, non può non ricondurci in primo luogo alla Sikanìa, e a quella media valle del Platani, in cui le fonti esplicitamente ambientano ( Hdt. VII, 170-171) la leggenda di Dedalo, Minosse e Kokalos e la saga dei cretesi in Sicilia, dettagliatamente narrata da Diodoro nel suo IV libro. La vicenda è nota. Il cretese Minosse, signore dei mari, giunge a Camico, reggia del sicano Kokalos, per vendicarsi dell’artefice Dedalo lì rifugiatosi, ma vi perisce nel bagno caldo apprestato con ingannevole ospitalità dalle figlie del re.

Sacrifice, the focal act of communal religious observance,was enacted outside, on an open-air altar usually opposite the main, east, facade of the temple, while the interior contained objects dedicated to the deity, including a cult statue. In form most Greek temples had a single main interior room, or cella; some had an additional small room behind it, accessible only from the cella. Such a subdivision of interior space suggests that the inner chamber served a special function. This study is designed to ascertain why some temples had inner rooms and how these chambers were used, questions that shed light on the nature of the temple itself. Examination of termi- nology used for temple interiors and of archaeological remains of temples with inner rooms, together with literary and epigraphical references to activities that occurred in temples, indicates a larger economic role for many temples and less secret ritual than has been assumed.1 Nomenclature is a central issue here, as naming incorporates a set of 1.

  • The Recovery of Helen
    THE RECOVERYOF HELEN JrT is my purposehere to examineaspects of the iconographyof the Recoveryof Helen on the night that Troy fell. The attempt seems the more worth while now that a canonical pattern of interpretation is likely to be established by Kunze's short but authoritative study and by the detailed, well-illustrated treatment in the recent book by Mme. Lilly B. Ghali-Kahil.1 The main episodes of the Recovery, established by the end of -the sixth century B.C., are credited to the Cyclic Epic poets Arktinos and Lesches, the lyricists Ibykos and his older contemporary Stesichoros. The first three alone are concerned with the iconography of the Recovery as it appears during the sixth and fifth centuries B.C.2 The earliest extant reference to an episode of the Recovery is found at Andro- mache 627-631, Euripides' play staged about 425 B.C.3 The old lord Peleus speaks, insulting Menelaos: EAXW&E Tpotav..

  • Sicily Before the Greeks. the Interaction with Aegean and the Levant in the Pre-Colonial Era
    Open Archaeology 2020; 6: 172–205 Review Article Davide Tanasi* Sicily Before the Greeks. The Interaction with Aegean and the Levant in the Pre-colonial Era https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2020-0107 received April 17, 2020; accepted July 1, 2020. Abstract: The relationship between Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean – namely Aegean, Cyprus and the Levant – represents one of the most intriguing facets of the prehistory of the island. The frequent and periodical contact with foreign cultures were a trigger for a gradual process of socio-political evolution of the indigenous community. Such relationship, already in inception during the Neolithic and the Copper Age, grew into a cultural phenomenon ruled by complex dynamics and multiple variables that ranged from the Mid-3rd to the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. In over 1,500 years, a very large quantity of Aegean and Levantine type materials have been identified in Sicily alongside with example of unusual local material culture traditionally interpreted as resulting from external influence. To summarize all the evidence during such long period and critically address it in order to attempt historical reconstructions is a Herculean labor. Twenty years after Sebastiano Tusa embraced this challenge for the first time, this paper takes stock on two decades of new discoveries and research reassessing a vast amount of literature, mostly published in Italian and in regional journals, while also address the outcomes of new archaeometric studies. The in-depth survey offers a new perspective of general trends in this East-West relationship which conditioned the subsequent events of the Greek and Phoenician colonization of Sicily.

Burgio b a Dept. of Civil, Environmental, Aerospace, Materials Engineering (DICAM), University of Palermo, Italy (donatella.ebolese, mauro.lobrutto)@unipa.it b Dept. of Cultures and Society, University of Palermo, Italy [email protected] KEY WORDS: Photogrammetry, 3D Modelling, Archaeology, Pottery, Fragment. ABSTRACT: The paper presents a digital approach to the reconstruction and analysis of two small-sized fragments of louteria, a kind of large terracotta vase, found during an archaeological survey in the south of Sicily (Italy), in the area of Cignana near the Greek colony of Akragas (nowadays Agrigento). The fragments of louteria have been studied by an image-based approach in order to achieve high accurate and very detailed 3D models. The 3D models have been used to carry out interpretive and geometric analysis from an archaeological point of view. Using different digital tools, it was possible to highlight some fine details of the louteria decorations and to better understand the characteristics of the two fragments. The 3D models provide also the possibility to study and to document these archaeological finds in a digital environment. 1. INTRODUCTION A novel digital approach, based on the 2D recordings of single potsherds, was tested for the reconstruction of a complete vessel Over the last few years, many studies have focused on digital (Zvietcovich et al., 2016).
