  • Genetics of the Peloponnesean Populations and the Theory of Extinction of the Medieval Peloponnesean Greeks
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2017) 25, 637–645 Official journal of The European Society of Human Genetics www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Genetics of the peloponnesean populations and the theory of extinction of the medieval peloponnesean Greeks George Stamatoyannopoulos*,1, Aritra Bose2, Athanasios Teodosiadis3, Fotis Tsetsos2, Anna Plantinga4, Nikoletta Psatha5, Nikos Zogas6, Evangelia Yannaki6, Pierre Zalloua7, Kenneth K Kidd8, Brian L Browning4,9, John Stamatoyannopoulos3,10, Peristera Paschou11 and Petros Drineas2 Peloponnese has been one of the cradles of the Classical European civilization and an important contributor to the ancient European history. It has also been the subject of a controversy about the ancestry of its population. In a theory hotly debated by scholars for over 170 years, the German historian Jacob Philipp Fallmerayer proposed that the medieval Peloponneseans were totally extinguished by Slavic and Avar invaders and replaced by Slavic settlers during the 6th century CE. Here we use 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms to investigate the genetic structure of Peloponnesean populations in a sample of 241 individuals originating from all districts of the peninsula and to examine predictions of the theory of replacement of the medieval Peloponneseans by Slavs. We find considerable heterogeneity of Peloponnesean populations exemplified by genetically distinct subpopulations and by gene flow gradients within Peloponnese. By principal component analysis (PCA) and ADMIXTURE analysis the Peloponneseans are clearly distinguishable from the populations of the Slavic homeland and are very similar to Sicilians and Italians. Using a novel method of quantitative analysis of ADMIXTURE output we find that the Slavic ancestry of Peloponnesean subpopulations ranges from 0.2 to 14.4%.

I show that a letter from MacDonald to Ryle found at Linacre College, Oxford, was part of an extensive correspondence, and that the two were intimate friends and philosophical interlocutors, and I explore the relationship between their respective philosophies. MacDonald, who studied with Wittgenstein before coming to Oxford in 1937, deployed and developed Wittgensteinian themes in her own subsequent work. I show that this work was an important source of ideas in Ryle’s philosophy. I examine two episodes: (1) a 1937 symposium in which MacDonald gave the lead paper, and Ryle was a respondent – I argue that Ryle derived his famous distinction between knowledge-how and knowledge-that from her paper; and (2) Ryle’s rejection in Dilemmas (1953/4) of the central importance of the idea of a ‘category mistake’–I argue that this may have been in response to MacDonald’scriticalreviewof The Concept of Mind.

II. § 10.—HAGIOS NIKOLAOS. ON March 31st, 1903, and the three following days I conducted a trial excavation at a site situated at about an hour's distance from Rous- solakkos, and known as Hagios Nikolaos from a small church of that name. During the first three days I employed ten men, on the fourth only two. The most prominent feature of the landscape is the height called Modhi (1776 ft.). From the foot of this there runs almost due east a deep valley with a river-bed, which, although quite dry at the time when I saw it, must sometimes carry off a considerable volume of water from the surrounding hills. The valley is at first narrow and its sides very steep, but a little way above the chapel it broadens out considerably : although the left bank is steep and in places almost precipitous, the right side rises in a gentle slope, forming a series of terraces which are under cultivation and afford a good harvest in spite of the stony character of the soil.

  • Demosthenes, the Fourth-Century B.C
    Demosthenes 1) Reference edition: García Ruiz-Hernández-Muñoz 2016, Clavaud 1987. 2) Sender(s): Demosthenes, the fourth-century B.C. Athenian orator, who urged Athens to resist Philip II of Macedon (cf. AESCHINES §2).1 The authenticity of the letters, not doubted in antiquity (Worthington 2003, 585), has been the subject of vigorous debate in modern scholarship.2 The broad modern consensus is that some, but not all, of the letters are authentic (López Eire 1976, 233-4, Klauck 2006, 114): letters 1-4 are now usually regarded as genuine but letter 5 as pseudepigraphic (e.g. Goldstein 1968, Clavaud 1987),3 while letter 6 is controversial (probably authentic for Worthington 2003, but viewed as pseudepigraphic by Goldstein 1968, 261-4).4 If some of the letters are indeed authentic, this would make them among the very earliest Greek letters to survive independently as part of a collection 5 in the ms tradition (letters 1-4, 6 deal with events in the late 320s B.C.). 3) Extent and range of length There are six letters in the fullest version of the collection in the mss (see §5). The mean average length in García Ruiz-Hernández-Muñoz 2012 is 92.67 lines, but this conceals a wide divergence between letters 1-3 (average 150.67 lines) and 4-6 (average 34.67 lines). The longest letter is 3 (231 lines), the shortest 6 (13 lines). 4) Dating of the collection The earliest evidence for a letter from the collection is a late-second/early-first century B.C. papyrus preserving a large part of letter 3 (P.Lit.Lond.

  • BOOK REVIEWS After Chaeronea. 'Athens, Sokles and The
    BOOK REVIEWS 207 after Chaeronea. ‘Athens, Sokles and the Exploitation of an Attic Resource’ (xvi; on IG ii 2 411) edits a decree which has commonly been linked with agriculture or the silver mines, but suggests that the resource may rather have been something such as salt, wild honey or resin, and that the decree is evidence of increasing intervention by the city in what had previously been considered private rights. ‘Inscribed Treaties ca. 350-321’ (xvii) notes that treaties with and honours for states become rare between Chaeronea and the Lamian War but honours for individual foreigners (including grain traders and men connected with drama: cf. Chapters ix, xv) do not: Athens could not play the same role on the international stage after Chaeronea as before, but its diplomatic activity was refocused rather than reduced. On its own at the end we have ‘Athenian Chronology 352/1-322/1 B.C.’ (xviii), consolidating the discussions of chronology on many individual texts in previous chapters. Lambert notes that for the dates of particular texts the possibilities have more often been widened than narrowed, and updates what can be said for this period on various disputed issues: it is likely that ordinary and intercalary years were determined by Metonic cycles, and that the longer prytanies in each year were regularly at the beginning, as stated in Ath. Pol. 43. 2 (but in each case we cannot be confident that there were no exceptions), but the omitted day in hollow months may have varied according to the festivals prescribed towards the end of the month in question.

The giving of this judgement is formed against various paradigm s for judgment. The consequences of action become important for those who consider themselves as consequentialist s . For them, the moral rightness of an action is determined by the level of good that emerges from a given action. Could this b e generally acceptable? Should the consequences of actions be the background on which value judgements are to be made or human actions? The emergence of Anscombe’s critique on utilitarianism is formed against this backdrop. For her virtue ethics should tak e the driver’s seat hence actions ought not to be evaluated using the “morally ought” because it gives room for any possible action provided the consequences is good.
