Treasury of Olympus
IONIA Treasury of Olympus A Supplement for ZENOBIA by Günter D'Hoogh Written by Günter D'Hoogh © 2004 Additional material and assistance from Paul Elliott. Illustrations by Paul Elliott Acknowledgements It was a pleasure working on this project, being a history teacher it’s a fantastic feeling that it’s quite well possible to merge history and roleplaying together. I hope that the reader as much enjoys playing it as I enjoyed writing this little “Campaign Guide”. I especially want to thank Paul Elliott, the creator of the wonderful ZENOBIA. He has been my mentor, my great help and especially a very good friend who encouraged me when the spirit was low. Thanks Paul for letting me take part in your great adventure, for the editting work, for the maps and drawings, and for the fine articles you wrote in this book! I really hope we’ll see each other someday face-to-face my friend! Günter D’Hoogh 2 THE CONTENTS I INTRODUCTION II THE WORLD OF IONIA III CHARACTER CREATION IV GODS OF OLYMPUS V THE THESSALIAN WITCH VI MONSTERS & WILD ANIMALS VII PHILOSOPHY VIII TREASURES IX LABYRINTHS OF IONIA 3 I INTRODUCTION Ionia is a sleepy mountainous land steeped in history, a land of ancient cities that are home to philosophers, academics, poets and playwrights. Lost and forgotten beneath Ionia are the artefacts and treasures of the Olympian gods, harkening back to the Age of Heroes when Zeus, Ares and Athena walked the earth in disguise, when heroes like Achilles fought with magical invulnerability, when witches like Medea ruled secret enchanted islands. -
Fulminante-2012-Ethnicity-Chapter
- LANDSCAPE, ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY LANDSCAPE, ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY IN THE ARCHAIC MEDITERRANEAN AREA LANDSCAPE, ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY The main concern of this volume is the multi-layered IN THE ARCHAIC MEDITERRANEAN AREA concept of ethnicity. Contributors examine and contextualise contrasting definitions of ethnicity and identity as implicit in two perspectives, one from the classical tradition and another from the prehistoric and anthropological tradition. They look at the role of textual sources in reconstructing ethnicity and introduce fresh and innovative archaeological data, either from fieldwork or from new combinations of old data. Finally, in contrast to many traditional approaches to this subject, they examine the relative and interacting AREA MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAIC THE IN role of natural and cultural features in the landscape in the construction of ethnicity. The volume is headed by the contribution of Andrea Carandini whose work challenges the conceptions of many in the combination of text and archaeology. He begins by examining the mythology surrounding the founding of Rome, taking into consideration the recent archaeological evidence from the Palatine and the Forum. Here primacy is given to construction of place and mythological descent. Anthony Snodgrass, Robin Osborne, Tim Cornell and Christopher Smith offer replies to his arguments. Overall, the nineteen papers presented here show that a modern interdisciplinary and international archaeology that combines material data and textual evidence – critically – can provide a powerful lesson for the full understanding of the ideologies of ancient and modern societies G.

Athinios Port (Basement lithologies-Eruptive Cycles-Caldera collapse events) Basement Lithologies Athinios Port is located at the southern part of the caldera wall (inside the caldera ring) roughly between Fira (capital) and Akrotiri village (excavations). It is built on the basement metamorphic massif, which is part of the prevolcanic island that formed close to the nowadays center of Santorini Island, from late Mesozoic to early Tertiary during the Alpine folding Orogeny. The metamorphic lithologies represented by low-grade phyllites (metapelites and schists) were found along the caldera wall at Athinios port but also at Profitis Ilias and Mesa Vouno mountains. The metamorphic pathway (P-T path) is characteristic of the metamorphic facies of the typical subduction and exhumation processes influenced by (1) an Eocene high pressure blueschist phase followed by (2) an Oligocene-Miocene greenschist to amphibolite facies overprint (Barrovian metamorphic event, a sequence of regional metamorphic mineral reactions that form typical mineral assemblages) which was associated with a granitic intrusion (mostly about 20 - 9 Ma). The latter, which is part of the Cycladic Granitic Province, is the source of various ore minerals and it is observed at this spot. -

The Politics of Public Burial in Roman Greece (C
CONTEsTED BONEs: THE POLITIcs OF PUbLIc bURIaL IN ROMaN GREEcE (C. 200 BC – 200 AD)* Abstract: Intra-urban burial had always been a rare honour in Greek culture. Nonetheless by the high point of the Roman Empire tombs could be seen in public spaces in most Greek cities. Some were of heroes believed to have died long ago. Others belonged to recently deceased benefactors. This article explores the role that both types of monument played in defining and shaping relations of power within the Roman period polis. Much can be gained from looking at the two in conjunction. It is argued that increasing evidence for both types of monument under the Empire means that both types of monument did indeed become more numerous at this time. The case is made that many supposedly heroic graves were ‘invented’ not many generations before they were described by our best source for them, Pausanias, and that local elites were a driving force behind this phenomenon as they tried to draw political capital from familial connections, real or fictive, to the illustrious dead. The parallel increase in public tombs for recent benefactors suggests an attempt on the part of the same class to appropriate the heroic associations of these purportedly ancient burials. INTRODUCTiON A remarkable feature of the cities of Greece under the Roman Empire is the extent to which the world of the dead encroached on that of the liv- ing. While the graves of ordinary citizens were typically clustered in cemetery areas outside the city limits, tomb monuments and cenotaphs for more illustrious individuals could be seen in prominent locations in public spaces, such as agoras, streets and gymnasia — spaces that would have been alive with the hustle and bustle of daily life. -

Dorothy Burr Thompson 1900-2001 by Jaimee P. Uhlenbrock
1 Dorothy Burr Thompson 1900-2001 by Jaimee P. Uhlenbrock In the early l870s terracotta figurines from the Hellenistic period began to appear on the antiquities market of Athens. Prospective buyers were told that they had come from graves near the ancient city of Tanagra in Boeotia, roughly 12 miles east of Thebes, where local inhabitants had dug them up from a vast cemetery. Of an outstanding artistic quality, they were quickly purchased by collectors eager to possess original examples of Greek sculpture, even though dealers also had resorted to selling pastiches and by 1876, outright forgeries because of the scarcity of good originals. Controlled excavations were carried out a Tanagra intermittently between 1874 and 1889 in an effort to halt the widespread looting of the graves that had developed because of the market demand for these “Tanagra figurines,” as they were called. Nevertheless, the archaeological contexts within which these Tanagras were found continued to be destroyed, and all evidence for dating and interpretation was hopelessly lost.1 The inclusion of Tanagras in an exhibition dedicated to Greek art from private collections in the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 18782 resulted in intensified interest in them as collectibles, as well as intensified activity in the forger’s studio. This was, in large measure, facilitated by the fact that Tanagras were made from molds. Even though most false Tanagras were easily spotted by archaeologists, many nevertheless entered museum collections, so that the entire genre of Hellenistic terracottas began to be viewed with suspicion and distrust by the scholarly 2 community. Yet their popularity continued unabated among collectors. -
Study of Old Families of Center Line Pages
Study of old families of Center Line pages Using small print and single spacing the page numbers are 2331-2467 at moment When burials at St Clement and census data appear to match both are bolded. Red shows interesting data such as persons who are probably buried in St Clement Cemetery but who have no stone. This is a work in progress all censuses were not searched for every family. This at least gives St Clement Cemetery records and stones and Macomb County Death records thru 1917. In several cases misspellings and poor writing have led to not finding relatives on old censuses but here I have published several missing members found in other families. Many of these were children living in other families and both younger and older persons. Many were living in other families as helpers or servants. Unless noted occupation was usually farmer or housekeeping with “at home “ or “at school” for the children. This study is on going and notes received from local families will help.
