  • Correspondence
    234 CORRESPONDENCE CORRESPONDENCE . ' St. John's School, Leatherhead, Surrey Sep~ember 28, 1955. ·The Editor, the ALPINE JouRNAL. · SIR, I was much impressed by the somewhat unusual article which appeared in the May number of the A.J. entitled ' The Technique of Artificial Climbing.' At first glance it was not easy to decide· which way up some of the illustrations were meant to be. Now, Sir, while I have great respect for the achievements of the exponents of this technique, I would humbly suggest that the article in question is somewhat out of place in the ALPINE JOURNAL and would better grace the pages of an engineering journal. The methods of the ' Hammer ·and Nail Co.' to quote the words of our pre-war Editor, Lt.-Col. E. L. Strutt, are alien to the traditions of the Alpine Club and to British mountaineering generally. It used to be a point of honour never to sully the face of a British climb with a piton. Let me quote the instance of the Munich climb. The visiting party of Germans in the middle 'thirties found it necessary to insert one piton in that remarkably steep and exposed face. The climb was promptly repeated by a British party who took out the piton ! Mountaineering is a sport and not a form of war. A sport is governed by a set of rules which allows each side a fair chance. Why must we use ' all out ' methods in mountaineering ? Why not let the mountain win sometimes ? The occasional piton for security perhaps, for roping off, or when caught by bad weather, but 'tension' climbing no ; etriers no ! .

This is related to its great cul- tural significance, since the ancient Greeks considered this mountain as the habitat of their Gods, ever since Zeus became the dominant figure of the ancient Greek re- ligion and consequently the protagonist of the cultural regime. Before the genera- tion of Zeus, Olympus was inhabited by the generation of Cronus. In this paper we shall refer to a lesser known mythological reference which, in our opinion, presents similarities to the geotectonic evolution of the wider area of Olympus. According to Apollodorus and other great authors, the God Poseidon and Iphimedia had twin sons, the Aloades, namely Otus and Ephialtes, who showed a tendency to gigantism. When they reached the age of nine, they were about 16 m. tall and 4.5 m. wide.

DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Linda Jane Piper, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1966 Approved by Adviser Department of History PREFACE The history of Sparta from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C; to the destruction of Corinth in 1^6 B.C. is the history of social revolution and Sparta's second rise to military promi­ nence in the Peloponnesus; the history of kings and tyrants; the history of Sparta's struggle to remain autonomous in a period of amalgamation. It is also a period in Sparta's history too often neglected by historians both past and present. There is no monograph directly concerned with Hellenistic Sparta. For the most part, this period is briefly and only inci­ dentally covered in works dealing either with the whole history of ancient Sparta, or simply as a part of Hellenic or Hellenistic 1 2 history in toto. Both Pierre Roussel and Eug&ne Cavaignac, in their respective surveys of Spartan history, have written clear and concise chapters on the Hellenistic period. Because of the scope of their subject, however, they were forced to limit them­ selves to only the most important events and people of this time, and great gaps are left in between.

  • <Tlerg\?Men Anb <Tlimbing
    THE LETTERS OF ST. JEROME number of pilgrims thronged to see him from all parts ; for his writings had, by their charm, their learning, their wit, their satire become celebrated throughout the whole of the Roman­ speaking world. Legend soon became busy with this anchorite of the cave at Bethlehem. Many stories, brought by the pilgrims of the time, and amplified by the imagination of subsequent centuries, were told about this great doctor of the West. Many of the stories are obviously silly, and many of them are false ; but the very fact that such stories were circulated even before the death of Jerome himself is sufficient evidence of his fame. But in his letters, far more than in his controversial works, or even his translations, we catch a clear and true sight of the man as he was, alike in his strength and in his weakness. There are many things we cannot either admire or approve in his conduct or in his writings ; but, when all is said and done, the verdict of Professor Dill is surely the right one : " He added to the monastic life fresh lustre by his vivid intellectual force and by his contagious enthusiasm for the study of Holy Writ." <tlerg\?men anb <tlimbing. BY THE REV. w. A. FURTON, B.A. T is not easy to explain the precise nature of the fascination I that mountaineering possesses for any of its followers. The ordinary man looks upon it with a kind of amused contempt that finds expression in pitying remarks or patronizing inquiries. But to the extraordinary man who has been " bitten," it is an enthusiasm, an obsession, a paramount source of pure delight.

LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1880 All rights are reserved [v] PREFACE. In the year 1860, shortly before leaving England for a long continental tour, the late Mr. William Longman requested me to make for him some sketches of the great Alpine peaks. At this time I had only a literary acquaintance with mountaineering, and had even not seen—much less set foot upon—a mountain. Amongst the peaks which were upon my list was Mont Pelvoux, in Dauphiné. The sketches that were required of it were to celebrate the triumph of some Englishmen who intended to make its ascent. They came—they saw—but they did not conquer. By a mere chance I fell in with a very agreeable Frenchman who accompanied this party, and was pressed by him to return to the assault.

  • Report on Species of Plants Requiring Protection in Greece and Measures for Securing Their Protection
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by I-Revues REPORT ON SPECIES OF PLANTS REQUIRING PROTECTION IN GREECE AND MEASURES FOR SECURING THEIR PROTECTION BY Const. GOULIMIS 21, rue Hippocrate Athens (Greece) This report has been divided in three parts. The first part deals with a list of species and other taxa of the Greek flora requiring protection. The second part deals with the destruction of rare plants and its causes and the third part deals with suggested remedies. PART 1. A list of species and other taxa of the Greek flora requiring protection. A list of the species and other taxa of the Greek flora which, in my opinion, require protection is annexed to this report. ln order to explain the comparatively great number of plants which appear in this list, 1 would mention that the flora of this country is one of the richest of Europe. containing about 6,000 taxa, a number consid� erably larger than that of France, Belgium and Switzerland put together, in spite of the fact that the total expanse of these countries is more than six times that of Greece. ln addition, as mentioned below, this country has a very large number of endemics, in fact, in proportion to her size, Greece has more endemics than any other European country. For the compilation of this list, 1 have reviewed the flora of the following districts of Greece : l. Continental Greece ( Sterea He lias). 2. Peloponnese. 3. Thessaly. 4. Epirus. 5. The island of Euboea (including the Sporades islands).

  • CLIMBS with MEDICAL and WEATHER COMPLICATIONS 347 • • Jungle of Heather, Birch and Rowan, Boulders and Peat, Which I Have Never Succeeded in Circumnavigating
    CLIMBS WITH MEDICAL AND WEATHER COMPLICATIONS 347 • • jungle of heather, birch and rowan, boulders and peat, which I have never succeeded in circumnavigating. With Dr. Johnson, I have always felt that ' a walk upon ploughed fields in England is a dance upon carpets compared with the toilsome drudgery of wandering in Skye.' But for all the scratche~ the ridge remains the finest mountaineering • expedition in the British Isles. Or perhaps it is on4y the best but one ; for it has ·one . sad disadvantage· for the real hero. Its completeness is . spoilt by those two awkward outposts of the Black Coolin, isolated amongst the Red Coolin, Blaven and Clach Glas. Blaven is perversely just over 3000 feet high, so that for a gatherer of Munros a traverse of the main ridge leaves one· still to pluck. In June 1939, Charleson and Forde started from a camp at the foot of Gars Bheinn, traversed the whole of the main ridge to Sgurr na h'Uamha, with snow and ice part of the way ; and after a meal and a rest at a camp in Harta Corrie, went up Clach Glas and Blaven and came back to their tent in Harta Corrie, the whole expedition taking five minutes less than 24 hours. Three months later Murray and Donaldson, setting out from Glen Brittle, sustained by vita-glucose and revived with draug4ts of navy rum and Bovril, repeated the feat with half an hour to spare. So history once more repeats itself, and the finest expedition in the British Isles, already only a preliminary tC? an ascent of Blaven and Clach G las, is fast becoming an ' Easy Day for a Lady.' .
