  • 1 Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative
    Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative: Representations of the Aegean Space. Introduction: representing space. Between the land-masses of Europe and Asia lies the Aegean sea.1 This space is neither homogeneous nor blank: the Aegean is framed by highly fragmented coastlines, and dotted with islands, which in turn are perceived as forming groups, such as the Cyclades or Sporades. Culturally, there is no distinction between the two sides of the Aegean, and the islands in between: “in the internal structure of the sea- faring Hellenic society in its pre-Alexandrine age, the waters of the Aegean proved themselves to be, not a barrier, but a bond by knitting together an Asiatic and a European half of an indivisible Hellas.”2 Politically however this has been a highly charged, and highly contested, space, not least because the maritime space defies the imposition of a clear-cut boundary, of the kind that rivers seem to provide:3 while the ‘strong’ point of division between the two continents is the Hellespont, which resembles a river, the Aegean sea has width (as Herodotus says, “the Hellespont flows into an expanse of sea, χάσµα πελάγεος, which is called Aegean”, 4.85.4), and 1 Ancient denominations of the area: Ceccarelli (2012). For the definitions of ‘space’ and ‘place’ accepted here see the introduction, 000.

    United Nations A/75/976–S/2021/684 General Assembly Distr.: General 28 July 2021 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Seventy-fifth session Seventy-sixth year Agenda item 76 (a) Oceans and the law of the sea: oceans and the law of the sea Letter dated 27 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General With reference to the letter dated 13 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United Nations addressed to you (A/75/961-S/2021/651), we wish to underline the following: First, the arguments contained in the above-mentioned Turkish letter that sovereignty over the Greek islands of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean was ceded to Greece under the Treaty of Lausanne of 24 July 1923 and the Treaty signed at Paris on 10 February 1947 “on the specific and strict condition that they be kept demilitarized’’ are not only manifestly unsubstantiated and unfounded, but also legally and historically incorrect. Once again, we wish to reiterate that sovereignty over the islands, islets and rocks of the Aegean was ceded to Greece definitively and unconditionally under the above-mentioned treaties and any interpretation against the letter or spirit of these fundamental treaties would amount to an unauthorized atte mpt to unilaterally review and modify them. More specifically: 1. Regarding the Lausanne Peace Treaty of 24 July 1923, it should be stressed that Greece’s sovereignty over the Eastern Aegean Sea islands was officially confirmed in article 12 of the Treaty. Greek sovereignty over the Eastern Aegean islands, according to the said article, is not conditional upon any obligation whatsoever, including any obligation to demilitarize them.

  • A Heuristic Algorithm for the Optimization of the Greek Coastal
    TOURISMOS: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF TOURISM Volume 7, Number 1, Spring-Summer 2012, pp. 351-366 UDC: 338.48+640(050) THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE GREEK COASTAL SHIPPING TRANSPORTATION NETWORK Konstantinos Chainas1 Athens University of Economics and Business This dissertation presents a heuristic algorithm that improves the coastal network in the Greek Aegean Sea. The Greek coastal shipping - except for its specific role for Greek tourism - becomes of utmost importance after the decision of the European Union to reinforce, for special reasons, the short-distance shipping. This dissertation suggests and describes a methodology for the re-planning of the coastal network of Greece and aims to develop a new model of the coastal shipping network in Greece. This model is documented by the heuristic algorithm for improvement, the NAUTILUS. This algorithm drastically improves the travel times for the Aegean destinations and poses the terms and conditions for the materialisation of a Complete Decision System, for the overall improvement of the Greek coastal shipping. Keywords: optimization, algorithm, tourism, coastal network, transport JEL Classification: L83, M1, O1 INTRODUCTION The concept of optimizing the coastal transportation takes on a different meaning, depending on the aspect from which one sees improvement and the criteria they set. For a coastal shipping company, which wants to cover a certain island area, the optimal route would be one that could cover the market demand efficiently and effectively taking advantage of its entire fleet by scheduling the appropriate ship type to the respective route; even when a route yields the maximum possible economic results at a minimum cost.

  • THE HISTORICAL POSITION of the RHODIAN LAW the Rhodian Maritime Law Has Been Spoken of by Many Legal Writers
    YALE LAW JOURNAL Vol. XVIII FEBRUARY: 1909. No. 4 THE HISTORICAL POSITION OF THE RHODIAN LAW The Rhodian Maritime Law has been spoken of by many legal writers. I quote as a sample, the words of Park, in the introduc- tion to his work on Marine Insurance, as follows: "The Rhodians were the first legislators of the sea and promul- gated a system of marine jurisprudence, to which even the Romans themselves paid the greatest deference and respect, and which they adopted as the guide of their conducf in naval affairs. * * * * The time at which these laws were compiled is not -precisely ascertained, but we may reasonably suppose it was about the time when the Rhodians first obtained the sovereignty of the seas, which was 916 years before the era of Christianity." I desire in this paper to show (first) that the above statements (though accompanied, as they are, by similar statements of many authors) have no sufficient historical foundation, and that all that can be accurately said to be known about the Rhodian Law is that there is one sentence of it extant and only one, and that whether that was a sentence from a code, a judicial decision, or a mercantile usage, cannot be known; and (second) that there is no proof that any other sentence of Rhodian Law was ever adopted into the law of Rome. The statements as to the Rhodian Law and its adoption by the Romans, made by several authors similar to those which are quoted above, seem to be based upon a book bearing the title of Rhodian Law, or Nautical Law of the Rhodians, which was first put in print in the year 1596, and of which there are several earlier manuscripts, one of which bears the date of 1478.

  • ACHIEVEMENT PRACTICE 3 Read The
    SCORE: ________/11_____ NAME: ________________________________ DATE: _________________ ACHIEVEMENT PRACTICE 3 Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. “DAEDALUS AND ICARUS” (adapted from Book 8 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses) 1 Once there was a famous inventor named Daedalus, who was imprisoned with his young son, Icarus, on the island of Crete. The ruler of Crete, King Minos, had become angry with Daedalus. As punishment, he would not allow Daedalus and his son to return to their home in Greece. The king had his soldiers guard the land and the sea. 2 But Daedalus was determined to escape, and he devised a daring plan. He told his son, Icarus, to gather feathers from the shore where huge seagulls flew overhead. He then melted wax and carefully put the feathers together to form a large pair of wings. When Icarus saw his father try on the wings and lift up into the air, he begged to have his own pair. Daedalus realized that, despite the danger, his son should go with him. So, he made another pair of wings, smaller than his own, but just as strong. 3 Before Daedalus put the wings on his son, he warned him: “Be careful, my son. You must not fly too low or water will drag the wings down, and you must not fly too high or the sun will melt the wax and destroy the wings. You must fly a middle course. Above all, follow my lead and do not try any daring flying tricks.” After warning him again several times, Daedalus attached the wings to his son’s shoulders and arms.
