MYTILINEOS Αssistance to Greek Hospitals Press Release MYTILINEOS gives assistance to Greek hospitals Athens, Greece – 25 November 2020 – The country’s healthcare system is faced with increasing needs; this fact has activated the large enterprises to seek out the optimum ways to contribute. When covid-19 reached our country, right from the outset MYTILINEOS contacted the relevant authorities, recorded the needs and promptly reacted. Already, the Intensive Care Units at Thessaloniki University General Hospital AHEPA are equipped with 15 special ventilators for severe cases. This was part of MYTILINEOS donation, granted during the first wave of the pandemic in Greece. Unfortunately, however, the evolution of the pandemic is dynamic; the needs of hospitals are constantly changing and demands are pressing. Therefore, although the Company’s initial planning, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, involved the procurement of additional 50 special ventilators for most of the hospitals, it was decided that in the current circumstances it would be more useful to purchase and donate a molecular screening device of SARS- CoV-2, along with its supplies to perform more than 5,000 tests. This donation shall be destined directly to the General State Hospital Evangelismos to reinforce its screening capacity. It should be underlined that Evangelismos is the hospital carrying our the highest number of tests in the country on a monthly basis. In addition, as healthcare data in Northern Greece unfortunately point to a soaring number of coronavirus infections, besides the contribution to AHEPA, MYTILINEOS ensured the supply of valuable medical equipment addressed to the General Hospital of Serres in order to equip the Intensive Care Units and facilitate the work of hospital doctors. MYTILINEOS efforts to truly galvanise the healthcare system continue unabated. In the context of its sustained contribution to local communities where it operates, MYTILINEOS has already offered: • 2 ventilators systems for ICUs and medical equipment to the General Hospital of Livadia and 500 rapid tests to the Municipality of Levadia 8 Artemidos Str, Maroussi, GR- 151 25 Athens Τ: +30 210 6877 300 F: +30 210 6877 400 Ε. [email protected] mytilineos.gr • 2 ventilators systems for ICUs to the General Hospital of Amfissa • Rapid and molecular tests and healthcare assistance to the Municipality of Distomo-Arachova-Antikyra and • Medical-technological equipment to the General Hospital of Volos Hoping that we will be able to overcome this adventure soon, staying safe and sound, MYTILINEOS is steadfastly committed to standing by the State and the national healthcare system for as long as it shall be needed. All together,we will pull through! For further information, please contact: Ms. Antigoni Fakou: MYTILINEOS Press Office, Tel. 210-6877346 | Fax 210-6877400 | E- mail: [email protected].

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Timeline Proposel 2013
    Timeline & Games Proposal 2013 – 2016 in Greece In cooperation with Prof. Dr. Maria TZANI, Vice-President of the International Delphic Council (IDC- Berlin) for discussions with the respective Greek Ministers as well with the Greek Head of State. General Introduction Let’s meet in Greece It is the aim of the International Delphic Council to enlarge the worldwide acknowledgement of the Delphic Games of the Modern Era by restructuring the IDC in that way, that new countries have the opportunity to become a cultural hub within a region of the worldwide Delphic Games and the Delphic Movement as a whole. Summarizing the experience of the past 18 years it is of utmost importance to invite committed coun- tries protecting and strengthen (political, economical, diplomatically etc) the International Delphic Council and to support democratic development with its cultural, transparent structures. The turn around should be achieved through - moving the worldwide Delphic Head office from Germany towards Greece - establishing worldwide strong Delphic Councils at national level - the establishment of regional / continental IDC Branches, i.e. Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, etc. to select appropriate and committed nations willing to set benchmarks in protecting the Delphic Games for the arts as equivalent to the Olympic Games for sports. Plans in Greece It is a target of the IDC that Greece should have a key function in the near future and that two destina- tions should be appointed in Greece for the IDC: - a larger centre in / close to Athens (reconstruction/revival of a site) - a newly constructed worldwide Delphic Centre in Delphi, at ancient times viewed as “navel of the world”, including a Temple of Fame, congress and education facilities constructed and out- lined in highest artistic architecture and art works reflecting its position as Cultural Crossroad of World Culture.

  • Rock Falls in Delphi Archaeological Site, in Greece
    Rockfalls occurred in the archaeological site of Delphi, Greece B. Christaras Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Geology, Lab. of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, e-mail: [email protected] K. Vouvalidis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Geology, Dept. of Physical & Environmental Geography, e-mail: [email protected] M. - F. Papakonstantinou Ministry of Culture, Chief Archaeologist of I’ Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, Delphi, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: In the present investigation, the safety of the northern slope of Delphi’s archaeological site in Greece was investigated against rockfalls. The area consists of limestone lying over flysch. Three possible rockfall rebound tracks, passing through the ancient stadium, and the theatre, were studied for different rock dimensions and tracks resulting that the more dangerous and difficult in retention rockfall track is that which crosses the stadium. The use of barriers was investigated accepting, finally, that a 2.5m-high metallic barrier could be installed along the northern steep slope for the protection of the archaeological site. KEY WORDS: ROCKFALLS, DELPHI, SLOP STABILITY, RESTRAINING BARRIERES 1. INTRODUCTION In the middle of September 2009, prolonged rainfall activated rockfalls from the upper sections of the archaeological site’s northern slope and fall downslope, out of the enclosure wall of the Sanctuary of Apollo, north of the Portico of Attalus. Rockfalls also occur in the stadium from 2003 onwards (Figure 1). The slope, consisting of limestone, is steep and heavily broken as a result of the existing tectonics. The rockfalls created dangerous conditions in the archaeological site regarding the safety of tourists, the staff of the ephorate and the protection of the monuments.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

  • The Phokikon and the Hero Archegetes (Plate54)
    THE PHOKIKON AND THE HERO ARCHEGETES (PLATE54) A SHORT DISTANCE WEST of the Boiotian town of Chaironeia the Sacred Way I Lcrossed the border into Phokis. The road went past Panopeus and on toward Daulis before turning south toward the Schiste Odos and, eventually, Delphi (Fig. 1). To reach the famous crossroads where Oidipos slew his father, the Sacred Way first had to pass through the valley of the Platanias River. In this valley, on the left side of the road, was the federal meeting place of the Phokians, the Phokikon.1 This is one of the few civic buildings from antiquity whose internal layout is described by an eyewitness.2 Pausanias says, Withrespect to size the buildingis a largeone, and withinit thereare columnsstanding along its length; steps ascend from the columnsto each wall, and on these steps the delegatesof the Phokianssit. At the far end there are neithercolumns nor steps, but a statuegroup of Zeus, Athena, and Hera; the statueof Zeus is enthroned,flanked by the goddesses,with the statueof Athenastanding on the left (1O.5.2).3 Frazersuggested that the interior of the building resembledthe Thersilion at Megalopolis.4 The location of a federal assembly hall so close to the border with Boiotia, an often hostile neighbor, seems puzzling, but given the shape of the entire territory of Phokis, the position of the Phokikonmakes sense (Fig. 2). As Philippson noted, "Die antike Landschaft Phokis ist nicht nattirlichbegrenzt und kein geographisch einheitliches Gebiet."5 Ancient Phokis was dominated by Mount Parnassos, and the Phokians inhabited two distinct 1 An earlier draft of this paper was delivered at the 92nd Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America (San Francisco 1990; abstract, AJA 1991, pp.

  • The Palaeogeographic Distribution of Stromatolites in the Parnassus Zone, Central Greece, During the Early to Middle Paleocene Ν
    Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας, Τομ. XXXIV/2, 779-783, 2001 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, Vol. XXXIV/2, 779-783, 2001 Πρακτικά 9ου Διεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Αθήνα, Σεπτέμβριος 2001 Proceedings of the 9th International Congress, Athens, September 2001 THE PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF STROMATOLITES IN THE PARNASSUS ZONE, CENTRAL GREECE, DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PALEOCENE Ν. SOLAKIUS1 AND M. KATl' ABSTRACT The stromatolites recorded in the Parnassus Zone, central Greece, were developed in shallow waters (tidal flat conditions) that prevailed in the central areas of the zone during the early to middle Paleocene. In the margins, deeper water prevailed during this interval which enabled the deposition of pelagic limestones. The wide geographic distribution of the stromatolites in the zone probably depended on the lack of organisms feed­ ing on them, climatic factors, salinity of coastal waters and sediment supply. They further acted as post mass- extinction disaster forms inhabiting the shallow water areas after the extinction of the rudists at the end of the Cretaceous. KEY WORDS: Parnassus zone, Paleocene, stromatolites 1. INTRODUCTION It has previously been shown that the stromatolites in the Parnassus Zone, Central Greece (Fig. 1), devel­ oped during the early to middle Paleocene above phosphatic hardground beds formed on the top of the Creta­ ceous carbonate substrate (Kalpakis, 1979; Solakius et al., 1989; Solakius, 1994; Pomomi-Papaioannou, 1994). These hardgrounds have resulted from breaks in deposition during the late Maastrichtian to earliest Paleocene in a seafloor temporarily emerged (Pomoni-Papaioannou, 1994; Solakius, 1994). Both the stromatolites and the underlying hardground bed have been mineralized by iron-oxides and phosphates and are often treated together as a unit termed the hardground-stromatolitic unit (Gregou & Solakius, 1997).
