Work continued around previous years’ trenches, both ex- panding and deepening them. The results, as the following articles will show, were both exciting and unexpected. The site we are digging is tentatively identified as Bylazora (called the largest of the Paionian cities by the ancient Greek histo- rian, Polybius). It was only so identified in 1976 by Ivan Mikulcic, who, contrary to the prevailing opinion at the time, suggested look- ing for the fabled city not at nearby Veles but at Sveti Nikole. Other identifications for the site have been proffered over the years, but none of them very convincing. Following Mikulcic’s suggestion, a few small soundings were made at the site in the 1980s and 1990s. Extensive excavations commenced with TFAHR’s invitation to dig in 2008. The results of the first four seasons are shedding light on an interesting aspect of ancient Greek, Macedonian, and Paionian his- tory, that is, the extent of the Hellenization of those peoples who came in contact with the ancient Greeks. Our excavations are pro- ducing evidence of a rapid and early Hellenization at Bylazora: im- Figure 1.

She was Marketing Director for the Halkidiki Tourism EOrganization and was interested in sponsoring a press trip. As the committee I co-chaired worked putting together this trip, Sofia became a friend and our first trip was organized in May of 2013. Due to the success of the first trip, we worked on a second one for June 2014. This time, my husband Norm and I were fortunate to be part of the group attending.

  • MAC II in General, All Greek Troops “Constitutionally
    ALEXANDER’S FINAL ARMY An Honors Thesis for the Department of History By Jonathan A. Miller Thesis Advisor: Steven Hirsch Tufts University, 2011 AKNOWLEDGMENTS Alexander the Great is a man with whom many great leaders throughout history have been compared, a model of excellence whose achievements can never quite be matched. 2 My introduction to his legacy occurred in the third grade. Reading a biography of Julius Caesar for a class project, I happened across Plutarch’s famous description of Caesar’s reaction to reading a history of Alexander: “he was lost in thought for a long time, and then burst into tears. His friends were astonished, and asked the reason for his tears. ‘Do you not think,’ said he, ‘that it is a matter of sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?’”1 This story captivated my imagination and stuck with me throughout my middle and high school years. Once at college, I decided to write a thesis on Alexander to better understand the one man capable of breeding thoughts of inadequacy in Caesar. This work is in many ways a tribute to both Caesar and Alexander. More pointedly, it is an exploration into the designs of a man at the feet of whom lay the whole world. This paper has meant a lot to me. I want to thank all those who made it possible. First and foremost, my undying gratitude goes to Professor Steven Hirsch, who has helped me navigate the difficult process of researching and writing this thesis.

January, 2019 Thessaloniki - Greece 1 Abstract Tourism Industry the last years in the most successful, profitable and productive industry in Greece. It is reassuring to have a brand that attracts visitors, investments that help the economy by creating job positions and profits that are more that welcome in country that suffers from economic crisis. On the other hand, the tourism product is totally based on the natural resources. Visitors come in Greece for the beautiful, clean beaches, the unique landscape, to visit the archaeological sites and experience things that cannot be found anywhere in the world. It is really important, in order to preserve your product, which in this case is the Greek nature, to take all the necessary measures in order to keep the image and the quality of the product high. It is a challenge that next year needs to be won. To attract tourists from all over the world, but at the same time to keep and protect the nature clean, untouched and protected.

But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key.

Abstract: Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are recognized as a serious and growing public health epidemic in Europe, and are a cause of major losses in livestock production worldwide. This review is an attempt to present a summary of results from studies conducted over the last century until the end of the year 2020 regarding ticks, tick-borne pathogens, and tick-borne diseases in Greece. We provide an overview of the tick species found in Greece, as well as the most important tick-borne pathogens (viruses, bacteria, protozoa) and corresponding diseases in circulation. We also consider prevalence data, as well as geographic and climatic conditions. Knowledge of past and current situations of TBDs, as well as an awareness of (risk) factors affecting future developments will help to find approaches to integrated tick management as part of the ‘One Health Concept’; it will assist in avoiding the possibility of hotspot disease emergencies and intra- and intercontinental transmission.

Creatures from Greek myth. Of course, there are plenty of other entries that would fit nicely into a Greek campaign with a suitable name change: giants, passion spirits and so on. The great pull of roleplaying the ancient Greeks, however, is not the 'fit' of many monsters or races, but the unique and atmospheric society of the day. Nodding horse-hair crests, long-shadowed spears, many-columned temples of marble, triremes surging across turquoise seas guided by painted eyes on the prow, phalanxes of grim hoplites, unconformist philosophers debating science under shady colonnades ... classical Greece. WARLORDS OF ALEXANDER is a fantasy setting for Chaosium Inc.'s Basic Roleplaying Game. A gamemaster need only have a copy of Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer, or Elric! to play.
