  • The Pirate's Grave: a Story of Astypalaia by Professor R
    Και εδώ παρατίθεται το αγγλικό κείμενο του Dawkins που είναι ουσιαστικά και το τελευταίο κεφάλαιο στην ιστορία του πειρατή Νέγρου: The pirate's grave: A story of Astypalaia By professor R. M. Dawkins (1945) THIS paper has nothing to do with the present troubles of the inhabitants of the Dodecanese; it is a story which begins in the later years of the eighteenth century, and is still told in Astypalaia, the most isolated of all the Twelve Islands, since 1912 held in subjection by the Italians. In those days the islands formed a part of Turkey, but had special privileges from the government of the Sultans, which left them very nearly in a state of freedom and independence. Astypalaia is dominated by its one village, a mass of closely built houses, looking at a distance like a castle, all huddled on the top of a high rock. The view from this crow's-nest is wide, and one of the most conspicuous landmarks stands in a region by the sea called Martezana. It is a white structure surmounted by a column or obelisk, and the enquirer is told that it is a tomb set up not so long ago in memory of a "Frank": a word which to the Greek in those parts covers anyone from Europe. With this information I was foolishly content when I was in Astypalaia in 1905; the weather was hot, and I had not then learned that, if one goes to a place so hard to reach as Astypalaia, nothing should be left unvisited, if only for the reason that a second chance is hardly likely to present itself.

  • The Antikythera Mechanism, Rhodes, and Epeiros
    The Antikythera Mechanism, Rhodes, and Epeiros Paul Iversen Introduction I am particularly honored to be asked to contribute to this Festschrift in honor of James Evans. For the last nine years I have been engaged in studying the Games Dial and the calendar on the Metonic Spiral of the Antikythera Mechanism,1 and in that time I have come to admire James’s willingness to look at all sides of the evidence, and the way in which he conducts his research in an atmosphere of collaborative and curious inquiry combined with mutual respect. It has long been suggested that the Antikythera Mechanism may have been built on the is- land of Rhodes,2 one of the few locations attested in ancient literary sources associated with the production of such celestial devices. This paper will strengthen the thesis of a Rhodian origin for the Mechanism by demonstrating that the as-of-2008-undeciphered set of games in Year 4 on the Games Dial were the Halieia of Rhodes, a relatively minor set of games that were, appro- priately for the Mechanism, in honor of the sun-god, Helios (spelled Halios by the Doric Greeks). This paper will also summarize an argument that the calendar on the Metonic Spiral cannot be that of Syracuse, and that it is, contrary to the assertions of a prominent scholar in Epirote stud- ies, consistent with the Epirote calendar. This, coupled with the appearance of the extremely minor Naan games on the Games Dial, suggests that the Mechanism also had some connection with Epeiros. The Games Dial and the Halieia of Rhodes The application in the fall of 2005 of micro-focus X-ray computed tomography on the 82 surviv- ing fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism led to the exciting discovery and subsequent publi- cation in 2008 of a dial on the Antikythera Mechanism listing various athletic games now known as the Olympiad Dial (but which I will call the Games or Halieiad Dial—more on that below), as well as a hitherto unknown Greek civil calendar on what is now called the Metonic Spiral.3 I begin with my own composite drawing of the Games Dial (Fig.

    MSc Geophysical Hazards Ben Austin Carrett Geophysical Hazards and Hazard Awareness on Nisyros Volcano, Greece A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of MSc in Geophysical Hazards at University College London 2006 Abstract: The Kos-Yali-Nisyros volcanic field, as well as the island volcano of Nisyros lie in an area of intense tectonic activity. In the past 160 thousand years the island has witnessed many volcanic eruptions of different types and magnitudes presenting varying degrees of hazard. Several types of hazard are possible on Nisyros: seismic activity from regional tectonics, seismic activity associated with magmatic and hydrothermal unrest, hydrothermal eruptions, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tsunami. In 1995, the volcano gave signs of renewing activity in the form of intense seismicity, ground deformation and significant variations in the chemical and temperature parameters of fumaroles, however volcanic activity did not result. The data attained on Nisyros show that the local population have little hazard awareness regarding the range of hazards that potentially affect the island. Sixty-six percent of locals interviewed were unsure regarding the most recent volcanic activity on the island, which manifested as hydrothermal eruptions in the late half on the nineteenth century. Fifteen percent of locals are aware that no civil protection plans currently exist for the island, along with a further 48% who are unsure. The Mayor of the island confirmed that no plans are in place regarding any magnitude of volcanic eruption, and commented that the current, general disaster management plan – Xenokratis, has not been revised to consider the hazards affecting Nisyros.

  • Wwe Are Biking up the Side of a Volcano
    JLR Classics The Adventure Issue We are biking up the side of a volcano. As one would expect, it’s steep. Breath- pilfering, leg-cramping steep. Lava boils in Wmy calves with each crank of the pedals. The road switchbacks up the flanks of towering rock, ever upward. This is the Greek island of Nisyros, and the road leads to the village of Nikia, a 60-person settlement built on the volcano’s rim, with views directly into the still-hot crater. I’ve been promised that a cold, freshly squeezed lemon- ade will be waiting for me in the town. Zeus willing. Looking over my shoulder, I’m graced by a view of the Aegean Sea glittering below. A thousand pinpricks of light bounce off the softly undulating blue. Our sailboat, the Kaya Guneri Plus, bobs placidly in the expanse. Hours from now I will cannonball back down the mountain, whooping wildly as I lean headlong over my bike, volcanic rock and greenery flashing by. There will be cold drinks waiting on board the yacht, too. Until then, there is only one way to NOW . reap either reward: Keep pedaling. Nobody said biking through the Greek Isles would be easy.

  • Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C
    Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C. Foss and G. Reger (islands), 1994 Introduction The continental part of the map comprises three distinct geographic regions: the coasts of Ionia and Caria, the Maeander valley, and the mountainous hinterland of Caria. The coastal region, settled by Greeks in their first great expansion in the Iron Age, became the site of major cities and many smaller settlements along its deeply indented coastline. The excavators of Ephesus and Miletus have long surveyed the regions of those cities, and other classical scholars have investigated the rest of Ionia. The Ionian coast has seen great physical changes since antiquity. The vast quantities of alluvium deposited by the R. Maeander have made the ancient port of Ephesus an inland town, and turned the former Gulf of Latmos near Miletus into a lake (inset and E2). The Carian coast, with its numerous small ports, is well known thanks to the researches of Bean and Fraser. The broad Maeander valley, which divides Ionia from Caria, always played a major role in the economy of the region with its fertility and the communication it provided between coast and interior. It has not been systematically surveyed. The river’s tributaries offered an outlet for the scattered settlements in the basins and plateaus of the heavily forested interior of Caria. Much of this region, as well as many parts of neighboring ones, was carefully explored by Louis Robert. The map omits Carian sites for which no Greek name is attested; for these, see Radt (1970). For unnamed village sites also not marked, see Marchese (1989, 147-54).

Both volcanic centers have repeatedly produced highly explosive eruptions (VEI 4 to 7) during the last 160 kyrs and into historic times. The past record provides information on not only the number of events, but also on their magnitudes and intensities inferred from tephra dispersal characteristics, and is in turn essential to predict future volcanic hazards and risks. The past highly explosive eruptions ranged from submarine through emergent to subaerial, and the interaction with the sea increased the hazard potential (e.g., higher explosivity, tsunamis).
