Since Europe In Your Pocket WWII and after the end of the civil war, in the late ‘40s, every Greek generation has lived better than the previous one. In the past 30 years, however, that prosperity wasn’t due to an increasing productivity or creation of national wealth, but was based on borrowed money - both for the state and citizens. This non-sustainable path - which of course is not an exclusively Greek phenomenon - came to a sudden end in late 2009 and the country was saved from official bankrupty by a huge bailout that came at a very high price: the living standards and consumption habits have to be adjusted to the country’s means and at the same time surplusses must be created to repay the mountains of debt. In the process, the economy has taken a beating, more jobs disappear every day, taxes are rising and incomes have been slashed to levels unthinkable until just a year ago. No one knows when things will start to get better and if the IMF and EU imposed remedies will save or completely kill what’s left of the Greek economy. However, the expected higher number of visitors this year will enjoy more reasonable prices and better service as the economy adjusts to more “competitive” levels, enforced by the “mnimonio” (the memorandum) In Your Pocket has broken much new ground of signed by the Greek state and its creditors.

    Title Page Echoes of the salpinx: the trumpet in ancient Greek culture. Carolyn Susan Bowyer. Royal Holloway, University of London. MPhil. 1 Declaration of Authorship I Carolyn Susan Bowyer hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture. Abstract The trumpet from the 5th century BC in ancient Greece, the salpinx, has been largely ignored in modern scholarship. My thesis begins with the origins and physical characteristics of the Greek trumpet, comparing trumpets from other ancient cultures. I then analyse the sounds made by the trumpet, and the emotions caused by these sounds, noting the growing sophistication of the language used by Greek authors. In particular, I highlight its distinctively Greek association with the human voice. I discuss the range of signals and instructions given by the trumpet on the battlefield, demonstrating a developing technical vocabulary in Greek historiography. In my final chapter, I examine the role of the trumpet in peacetime, playing its part in athletic competitions, sacrifice, ceremonies, entertainment and ritual. The thesis re-assesses and illustrates the significant and varied roles played by the trumpet in Greek culture. 3 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture Title page page 1 Declaration of Authorship page 2 Abstract page 3 Table of Contents pages
