    Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The Pappas Center IN THIS ISSUE for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies have prepared this Special Edition of the Hellenic Voice for you to enjoy.

  • Greek Poets Homer to the Present
    THE GREEK POETS HOMER TO THE PRESENT EDITED BY Peter Constantine, Rachel Hadas, Edmund Keeley, AND Karen Van Dyck Introduction by Robert Hass W. W. NORTON & COMPANY New lark London ~ III • EARLY MODERN 'I' N THE TRADITIONAL VIEW of Greek poetry, a glorious ancient Greece is fol- ,'. lowed by an exciting, if not that well-known, modern Greece, with a fallow , two millennia in between. But in this anthology a host of new translations '. brings to life the poetry not only of Byzantine, but also Venetian, Ottoman, medieval, and newly independent Greece. With the decline of Byzantium and then the fall of Constantinople in 1453, poets throughout the Greek world turned . away from heroic and religious subject matter and focused on the pain and won­ der of ordinary life. In Stefanos Sachlikis's poem about life in a Cretan jail or the anonymous animal fables of the fourteenth and fifteenth century, we already sense a new aesthetic in which neither Athens and the classical world, nor Con­ stantinople and Christianity, are the measure of things. Linguistically as well as thematically, poets from the fourteenth century on increasingly moved away from ancient and ecclesiastical models to writing the way people spoke. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw attempts to return to a "purer" language closer to ancient ideals, but ultimately the language of the people prevailed, paving the way for the literary achievements of the twen­ tieth century. Unlike many cultures in which literature is written in the high lan­ guage, in Greece poets tend to leave the learned language to the pedants.

  • Chapter 3 GREEK HISTORY
    Chapter 3 GREEK HISTORY The French Academician Michel Déon has written: "In Greece contemporary man, so often disoriented, discovers a quite incredible joy; he discovers his roots.” GREECE - HELLAS [Greeks] denoted the inhabitants of 700 or more city-states in the Greek peninsula The roots of much of the Western world lie in including Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace, Asia the civilizations of the ancient Greece and Minor, and many of the shores of the Rome. This chapter is intended to bring you Mediterranean and the Black Seas. small pieces of those rich roots of our Greek past. The objectives of this chapter are: first, Life in Greece first appeared on the Halkidiki to enrich our consciousness with those bits of Peninsula dated to the Middle Paleolithic era information and to build an awareness of what (50.000 B.C). Highly developed civilizations it means to be connected with the Greek past; appeared from about 3000 to 2000 B.C. and second, to relate those parts of Greek During the Neolithic period, important history that affected the migrations of the cultural centers developed, especially in Greeks during the last few centuries.

The famous Minoan advanced prehistoric culture of 2800-1100 B.C. appeared in Crete. We see more artistic development in the Bronze Age (2000 BC), during which Crete was the center of a splendid civilization. It was a mighty naval power, wealthy and powerful. Ruins of great palaces with beautiful paintings were found in Knossos, Phaistos, and Mallia.

  • NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, and ETHNO-REGIONALISM in PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING by IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in Parti
    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings

  • The Problem of Banditry and the Military in Nineteenth-Century Greece
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 4, Issue 3 – Pages 175-196 Brigands and Brigadiers: The Problem of Banditry and the Military in Nineteenth- Century Greece By Nicholas C. J. Pappas Before the evolution of modern standing armies of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, the recruitment and conduct of military units usually depended on their commanders. These officers were often charged by authorities to recruit, train, maintain and command a body of men in return for a lump sum or contract for a set amount of time. Formations, from company to regiment, often became proprietary, and could be purchased, inherited, and sold. The lack of employment in the military sphere would often lead these free companies and their leaders into brigandage. The establishment of effective state bureaucracies and armed forces that could pay, supply, train and discipline troops without the use of private contractors brought about the decline of free mercenary companies in Europe by the 18th century. However, irregular units under their own commanders continued in the Balkans, and in this case Greece, continued into the 20th century. Irregular forces played the predominant role in the Greek Revolution, 1821-1830, but the subsequent flawed policy of forming a regular army, in which half were foreigners, led to both an increase of banditry and to political/military turmoil. This essay is to investigate brigandage in 19th century Greece and its relationship with the mobilization, maintenance, and demobilization of the armed forces (especially irregular bands). It will also study how the irregulars were both used in irredentist movements and pursued as bandits.
