  • The Athens Earthquake (7 September 1999): Intensity Distribution and Controlling Factors
    Engineering Geology 59 (2001) 297±311 www.elsevier.nl/locate/enggeo The Athens earthquake (7 September 1999): intensity distribution and controlling factors E. Lekkas* Department of Geology, University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece Received 20 June 2000; accepted for publication 14 December 2000 Abstract The Athens earthquake, Ms 5:9, that occurred on 7th September 1999 with epicenter located at the southern ¯ank of Mount Parnitha (Greece, Attiki) according to instrumental data, is attributed to the reactivation of an ESE±WNW south- dipping fault without sur®cial expression. The earthquake caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage within an extended area. Damage displayed signi®cant differentiation from place to place, as well as a peculiar geographic distribution. Based on geological, tectonic and morphological characteristics of the affected area and on the elaboration of damage recordings for intensity evaluation, it can be safely suggested that intensity distribution was the result of the combination of a number of parameters both on macro and microscale. On the macroscale, the parameters are the strike of the seismogenic fault, seismic wave directivity effects and to an old NNE±SSW tectonic structure, and they are also responsible for the maximum intensity arrangement in two perpendicular directions ESE±WNW and NNE±SSW. On the microscale, site foundation formations, old tectonic structures buried under recent formations and morphology are the parameters that differentiated intensities within the affected area. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

    ASPECTS OF ST ANNA’S CULT IN BYZANTIUM by EIRINI PANOU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 Acknowledgments It is said that a PhD is a lonely work. However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years.

    14 December, ATHENS: EARTHQUAKE 2000 appeal no. 22/99 situation report no. 4 (Final) period covered: September - December 1999 During this emergency, the National Society’s long experience of responding to earthquakes once again proved invaluable, as demonstrated by its quick reaction in the wake of the disaster, including search and rescue and the distribution of relief items and hot meals, and the role assigned by the Greek government to implement all relief activities. The readiness of the Hellenic Red Cross, the immediate response of the International Federation and its member National Societies, and the support from the Greek government made this operation a success. The context A strong earthquake struck the Greek capital Athens at 14:56 local time on Tuesday, 7 September 1999, measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale, lasting several seconds and bringing death, injury and destruction in its wake. The tremor was felt as far away as Corinth, 100 km south of the city and aftershocks continued for over a month after the main quake. The major impact of the earthquake was in the north-western municipalities of Athens. According to official figures, 138 people were killed, 85 individuals were rescued, 30,000 were left unemployed and 13,000 families were officially listed as the most vulnerable. The total number of people affected was 100,000. The official estimate of people left homeless is 70,000. The effects on infrastructure have been widespread: 7,746 buildings were heavily damaged (currently under demolition), 29,931 were partly damaged (currently under repair) and 36 collapsed. Several schools and four industrial plants were totally destroyed and hundreds of small businesses damaged.

  • Water Origin of the Kokkino Stefani Spring
    Preliminary flood hazard and risk assessment in Western Athens metropolitan area M. Diakakis(1), M. Foumelis (2), L. Gouliotis (1), E. Lekkas(1) (1) Department of Dynamics Tectonics and Applied Geology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli-Zografou, GR 157 84, Greece, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] (2) Department of Geography, Harokopio University of Athens, Athens, GR 176 71, Greece, [email protected] Abstract The increase in urban population and the continuous pressure for cities' expansion along with the increase in urban flooding phenomena in Greece and worldwide, stress the need for enhancement of flood risk mitigation efforts. West Athens urban area, in Greece, experienced a significant population clustering since the 1950s leading, in some occasions, to a poorly-planned development, even in areas with imminent flood risk. An issue becomes apparent, taking into account the rich flooding record, the extended damages in property and infrastructure and the 76 flood victims during the last century in the area. In this work, flood hazard is assessed in 10 municipalities of West Athens, with the application of a GIS- based methodology that exploits catchment morphometric characteristics to de- lineate flood hazard zones. Historical flood events are reconstructed to provide better understanding of the flooding problem in the area. Finally flood hazard was studied in conjunction with vulnerability to estimate flood risk spatial distribution. The results showed that areas around Fleva and Eschatia torrent, especially Mpournazi, parts of Ilion and Kamatero and some parts of Peristeri presented the highest flood hazard and risk values. Additionally, moderate flood risk appeared in several mountain torrents in west parts of Petroupoli and Peristeri.

The Byzantine rite, in its shape already largely present in Barberini gr. 336, actually comprises three major liturgical elements: 1) consecration of the altar; 2) consecration of the church building; 3) deposition of relics. Our earliest Byzantine liturgical text clearly conceives of the consecration of the altar and the deposition of the relics/“renovation” (encaenia) as two distinct rites, not merely elements of a single ritual. This feature of the Barberini text raises an important question, namely, which of these major elements did in fact constitute the act of dedicating/ consecrating the church, and what role did the deposition of relics have in the ceremonies of dedication in the early period of Byzantine liturgical history, considering that the deposition of relics Vitalijs Permjakovs became a mandatory element of the dedication rite only after the provisions to that effect were made at the Second council of Nicaea in 787 CE.
