    AYIOS STEPHANOS IN SOUTHERN LACONIA AND THE LOCATIONS OF ANCIENT HELOS by RICHARD HOPE SIMPSON and RICHARD JANKO estiò Pulov@ pro # Puloio,@ Pulov@ ge men@ estiè kai # allov.ò ‘There is a Pylos before Pylos, and another Pylos besides’ (verse from the epic cycle cited by Strabo viii. 3. 7, cf. Aristophanes Eq. 1059) This article1 originated when R.H.S. drew some of his published and unpub- lished observations on Laconian topography to the attention of R.J., who had just brought out the final report on the excavations at Ayios Stephanos. Consideration of these observations and of other recent scholarship has led us to reconsider the significance of Ayios Stephanos in the Late Bronze Age, the location(s) of ancient Helos, and the network of premodern roads in the region. The photographs were taken by R.H.S. in 1956 during his extensive survey of southern Laconia, on behalf of the British School, when he first discovered the site of Ayios Stephanos2. The maps, compiled by the authors, have been drawn by Jennifer Grek Martin. I. AYIOS STEPHANOS AND ITS HISTORY Ayios Stephanos lies in South Laconia on the western edge of the modern Helos Plain (Fig. 1). The excavations that were undertaken there in 1959–77 by the late Lord William Taylour, under the auspices of the British School, have revealed a coastal settlement with a long history, which can be reconstructed in detail from a stratigraphic sequence that is, for the Bronze Age, almost complete. Although the site now lies some 2 km north of the sea (Fig.

THE HUMAN MOTIVATION OF THE ILIAD 84 BIBLIOGRAPHY 91 in CHAPTER I ' INTRODUCTION Reading Homer's critics, one surmises that almost every theory that has been promoted in regard to Homer's use of the gods in the Iliad is credible; every critical commentary concerning Homer's gods does make sense. Far instance, it is true to say that Homer's gods are artistic tools In the hands of the poet--tools to save the action of the 1 \ poem, to keep it going by having the gods intervene, on sometimes unlikely occasions, in the actions of men. Too, it is believable to say that the gods are projections of man's feelings; somtimes Aphrodite is 2 - . 3 personified love, Ares, per sonified hate. Credible is the conception 4 of Homer's gods as being fellow sufferers with man, for they do, at times, weep with man, and occasionally in the course of their intervention into the war, the gods suffer physical woundings.

  • David Wills the Salonica Campaign of the First World War from An
    David Wills∗ The Salonica Campaign of the First World War from an Archaeologist’s Perspective: Alan J.B. Wace’s Greece Untrodden (1964) The Greek Front of the First World War was characterized by Stanley Casson, who was posted there after serving in Flanders in 1915, as a “forgotten expedition.”1 One hundred years later, it can still be said that “historical research on the events of Eastern Europe, in the Balkans and in Turkey is much behind, considering the level of research on World War I in Western and Central Europe.”2 But as one unnamed British officer wrote of Lake Doiran in 1918, Greece had offered brutality comparable to the more famous massacres of France and Belgium: “the very name of the battle is unknown to most. Yet, in singularity of horror and in the tragedy of defeated her- oism, it is unique among the record of British arms.”3 Those present in Greece with the Allied forces experienced combat in terrible con- ditions, internal divisions, and a fire which devastated Thessaloniki in 1917. Alan J. B. Wace (1879-1957) is renowned as an archaeologist, Director of the British School at Athens, and collector and curator of Greek folk textiles for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. During the First World War he worked clandestinely in Athens for British intelligence, alongside the prolific author and memoirist Sir ∗ Treasurer of the UK’s Society for Modern Greek Studies. 1. Stanley Casson, Steady Drummer (Uckfield: Naval and Military Press, 2010), 97. Casson was Wace’s Assistant Director at the British School at Athens from 1919-22.

Available at: https://digitalcollections.dordt.edu/pro_rege/vol32/iss4/1 This Feature Article is brought to you for free and open access by the University Publications at Digital Collections @ Dordt. It has been accepted for inclusion in Pro Rege by an authorized administrator of Digital Collections @ Dordt. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Editor’s Note: This paper was presented by Aron Reppmann, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Trinity Christian College, for Trinity’s Faculty Orientation, August 2002. The Truth of Love and the Love of Truth: A Christian Plato-Scholar Stops to Look at What He’s Doing, and Why appears as a speaking character in these dramas, and, unlike some philosophers who also wrote dia- logues, he left us no companion text in which he says, speaking for himself, what the fictional texts are attempting to portray. Plato does not say any- thing, in the conventional sense, but he shows many things in indirect, suggestive, and exploratory ways. Interpreting Plato requires discerning the coherence among various elements that might seem, at first glance, to be unrelated: for example, between one topic that is discussed and another; or between what the characters in a particular dialogue say and what they do or enact; or between what is said and done by Aron Reppmann in one of the dialogues and what is said and done in another dialogue that shares some of the same themes, concerns, or characters but portrays them in a different light.
