Their ap- proach is not based on primary sources but on preceded interpretations of other same-flag raising “researchers”. The said Macedoslav researchers, who select their sources to express what is really their own point of view, and then use the neutral style of writing to make it seem objective, are engaged in a form of deception.

That’s what we have to capricious in their content. know before we can search for a Needless to say that when the concept of objectivity method of guiding our thinking. originally evolved it was not meant to imply that scholars broadly speaking are free of bias. Objectivity called for researchers and scholars, including journalists, to develop a consistent method of monitoring, assessing, testing and document- ing information – a transparent approach to evidence – precisely so that personal and cul- tural biases would not undermine the accuracy of their work. A few years ago researchers talked about something called “realism” rather than ob- jectivity. This was the idea that if they simply dug out the facts and ordered them together, truth would reveal itself rather naturally. Realism emerged at a time when the creation of knowledge and researchers were asked to separate from political party affiliations, ethno- specific legacies and propagating scenarios becoming more accurate. It coincided with the invention of what journalists call the inverted pyramid, in which a journalist lines the facts up from the most important to the least important, thinking it helps audiences understand things naturally. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, some journalists began to worry about the naïveté of realism. In part, reporters and editors were becoming more aware of the rise of propaganda and the role of press agents. At a time when Freud was de- veloping his theories of the unconscious and painters like Picasso were experimenting with Cubism, journalists were also developing a greater recognition of human subjectivity. In 1919, Charles Merz, an associate editor for the New York World, wrote an influen- tial and scathing account of how cultural blinders had distorted the New York Times cover- age of the Russian Revolution. “In the large, the news about Russia is a case of seeing not 1Reference is made here to numerous articles appearing on the Journal On the Documents of the Ss. Cyril and Meth- odius University, Skopje, FYROM. Editorial what was, but what men wished to see,” he wrote. Researchers must be trained adequately to grasp the scientific spirit, to study the evidence and verify their sources, to be disciplined by the method, to be able to distinguish between conceptions and perceptions. Although scholars in general may have developed various techniques and conventions for determin- ing facts, they have done less to develop a system for testing the reliability of “impartial” interpretation. Great Macedonian Hellene Aristotle had established a number of steps to induce his principle of objectivity. Its essentially five steps were: 1. Grasp the distinction of percepts and concepts. 2. Understand that concepts are capable of error, whereas percepts are not. 3. Learn that the functioning of concepts is under our control, whereas percepts are not. 4. Discover that we can somehow use percepts as a means to measure concepts. 5. We’ll then know that a method is necessary, and that it is possible because we know what it would consist of, by reducing the fallible part to the infallible part. The first step is to reach the distinction between percepts and concepts, what the Greeks called “sense” and “idea.” The distinction was originated by Socrates and Plato, de- pending on how one interprets his dialogues. What Plato had to do, and what Aristotle and all of us had to do, was to mentally observe similar instances of ideas in contrast to sensory experience, to our percepts. With the contrast, Plato was able to draw out a list of attributes that belonged to ideas as opposed to sense experience: 1. Ideas were general or universal (Beauty, Justice, Virtue, etc.); sense experience was particular or concrete (the beauty of a maiden, the piety of a man, etc.). 2. The One and the Many—we’re aware of countless things which nevertheless seem to have the same properties; for instance, John is the same person, no matter what age he is or any differences in his appearances. Plato realized that this physical dis- tinction actually applied to these mental phenomena, ideas. 3. Ideas are abstract, non-material, whereas the senses interact with our bodies and material objects. 4. Ideas are immutable, changeless, whereas sensory objects are always changing, coming into being and going out of existence. We hope that our Macedoslav colleagues of the University of Cyril and Methodius will be objective enough to distinguish between concepts and percepts and to acknowledge in scientific objectivity that the two Thessalonikean brothers to whom they attribute their nomenclature, namely Cyril and Methodius and for whom they have erected magnificent monument at their university campus, where not just “Macedonians”, as they ingenuously depict with much naivety in their university charter, but Macedonian Hellenes and mission- aries of the Greek language and culture, who resurrected them from the obscurity and taught them how to write the Slavic concepts and be proud of their Slavic origin.

  • Supplied Through the Parthians) from the 1St Century BC, Even Though the Romans Thought Silk Was Obtained from Trees
    Chinese Silk in the Roman Empire Trade with the Roman Empire followed soon, confirmed by the Roman craze for Chinese silk (supplied through the Parthians) from the 1st century BC, even though the Romans thought silk was obtained from trees: The Seres (Chinese), are famous for the woolen substance obtained from their forests; after a soaking in water they comb off the white down of the leaves... So manifold is the labor employed, and so distant is the region of the globe drawn upon, to enable the Roman maiden to flaunt transparent clothing in public. -(Pliny the Elder (23- 79, The Natural History) The Senate issued, in vain, several edicts to prohibit the wearing of silk, on economic and moral grounds: the importation of Chinese silk caused a huge outflow of gold, and silk clothes were considered to be decadent and immoral: I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes... Wretched flocks of maids labour so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body. -(Seneca the Younger (c. 3 BCE- 65 CE, Declamations Vol. I) The Roman historian Florus also describes the visit of numerous envoys, included Seres (perhaps the Chinese), to the first Roman Emperor Augustus, who reigned between 27 BCE and 14 CE: Even the rest of the nations of the world which were not subject to the imperial sway were sensible of its grandeur, and looked with reverence to the Roman people, the great conqueror of nations.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.

  • The Monopteros in the Athenian Agora
    THE MONOPTEROS IN THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATE 88) O SCAR Broneerhas a monopterosat Ancient Isthmia. So do we at the Athenian Agora.' His is middle Roman in date with few architectural remains. So is ours. He, however, has coins which depict his building and he knows, from Pau- sanias, that it was built for the hero Palaimon.2 We, unfortunately, have no such coins and are not even certain of the function of our building. We must be content merely to label it a monopteros, a term defined by Vitruvius in The Ten Books on Architecture, IV, 8, 1: Fiunt autem aedes rotundae, e quibus caliaemonopteroe sine cella columnatae constituuntur.,aliae peripteroe dicuntur. The round building at the Athenian Agora was unearthed during excavations in 1936 to the west of the northern end of the Stoa of Attalos (Fig. 1). Further excavations were carried on in the campaigns of 1951-1954. The structure has been dated to the Antonine period, mid-second century after Christ,' and was apparently built some twenty years later than the large Hadrianic Basilica which was recently found to its north.4 The lifespan of the building was comparatively short in that it was demolished either during or soon after the Herulian invasion of A.D. 267.5 1 I want to thank Professor Homer A. Thompson for his interest, suggestions and generous help in doing this study and for his permission to publish the material from the Athenian Agora which is used in this article. Anastasia N.

  • The Linguistic Case for the Aiolian Migration 433

Migration is notthe only or even primary wayin whichlanguages and dialectsmay spread. Moreover, on reexamina- tion,the idea of an Aiolicdialect group falls apart. Boiotian, separated by the FirstCompensatory Lengthening from Lesbian and Thessalian, appears as a conservativedialect, most closely related to WestGreek. In turn,Lesbian andThessalian are both archaic branches of Greek that share no demonstrable commoninnovations. They are bestviewed as twoseparate relic areas of a relativelyunaltered early Greek. - To pass fromthis legendary world an aggregateof streamsdis- tinctand heterogeneous,which do notwillingly come intoconflu- ence,and cannotbe forcedto intermix- intothe vision afforded by Herodotus,we learnfrom him that in the500s B.C.the whole coast-regionfrom Dardanus southward to thepromontory of Lektum(including the town of Ilium),and fromLektum eastward to Adramyttium,had been Aeolised,or was occupiedby Aeolic - Greeks likewisethe inland towns of Skepsisand Kebren.1 This papergrew out of the researchof BrianRose, as set out in the pre- cedingarticle in thisissue of Hesperia?As head of the post-BronzeAge excavationsat Troy,Rose had long acceptedthe scholarlyconsensus in 1.

  • Nové Tajemství Amfipole: Toto Mauzoleum Z Doby Alexandra Velikého Skrývá Cosi Víc. Specialisté Došli K Tomuto Objevu Díky Geofyzikálnímu Průzkumu Pohřebního Komplexu
    1 NOVÉ OBJEVY NOVÉ TAJEMSTVÍ AMFIPOLE: TOTO MAUZOLEUM Z DOBY ALEXANDRA VELIKÉHO SKRÝVÁ COSI VÍC. SPECIALISTÉ DOŠLI K TOMUTO OBJEVU DÍKY GEOFYZIKÁLNÍMU PRŮZKUMU POHŘEBNÍHO KOMPLEXU. 2 Archeologové z Laboratoře aplikované geofyziky Aristotelovy univerzity v Soluni (Thessaloniki, Θεσσαλονίκη) soudí, že zřejmě zjistili přítomnost další prostory v mohyle v Kastě (Amfipolis, Řecko), jak informuje řecký portál „Protothema“. Výsledky geofyzikálního průzkumu, který prováděli, ukazují, že se tato prostora nachází na západní straně mohyly. Profesor Gregoris Tsokas, ředitel Laboratoře aplikované geofyziky, řekl: „vytvořili jsme trojrozměrnou mapu rozložení odporů a mohli jsme tak vidět, že je zde něco dalšího“. Tato prostora, kterou „je třeba prozkoumat“, se nachází asi o dva metry hlouběji a mohla by být „druhou pohřební komorou“, mnohem menší než ta, která je již vykopána, řekl Tsokas. Komplex hrobky v Amfipoli byl objeven roku 2012. O dva roky archeologové otevřeli její vstup a zahájili komplexní geofyzikální průzkum mohyly v Kastě. Od té doby se archeologové prokopali do nitra hrobky a odhalili její vstup a tři prostory, z nichž poslední byla pohřební komorou s ostatky pěti osob. Výsledky výzkumu prokázaly, že Mauzoleum bylo budováno v poslední čtvrtině 4. stol. př. Kr., tedy v posledních létech vlády Alexandra Makedonského a v bouřlivé době po jeho smrti.
