199938993Harvard University Press. 1999. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Gift inscription from editors to Carolyn Dewald on ffep. Very minor shelfwear.; Athens in the fifth century B. C. Offers a striking picture: the first democracy in history; the first empire created and ruled by a Greek city; and a flourishing of learning philosophical thought and visual and performing arts so rich as to leave a remarkable heritage for Western civilization. To what extent were these three parallel developments interrelated An international group of fourteen scholars expert in different fields explores here the ways in which the fifth-century "cultural revolution" depended on Athenian democracy and the ways it was influenced by the fact that Athens was an imperial city. The authors bring to this analysis their individual areas of expertise--in the visual arts poetry and drama philosophy archaeology religion and social economic and political history--and a variety of theoretical approaches. The product of a colloquium at Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington D. C. Democracy Empire and the Arts in Fifth-Century Athens sheds new light on a much debated question that has wide implications. The book is illustrated and enriched by a comprehensive bibliography on the subject.; Center for Hellenic Studies Colloquia 2; 512 pages; Signed by Editors . 0674197690 .

ISBN: 978-960-87197-6-7.</p><p>Τhe cave of Sarakenos is located in the eastern part of the former lake Kopais at the altitude of 180m. The systematic excavation of the site was part of the Kopais Project that started in 1994 and is still in progress in order to establish a chronological sequence for the development of the cave and the identification of economical models in diverse periods. Exceptional stratigraphical data inside the cave and dozens of C14 dates have led to the succession of distinct cultural phases dated from the Middle/ Early Upper Palaeolithic to the Middle Helladic 2nd mill B.C. when the cave was abandoned. The cave is of crucial importance for the study of the Mesolithic/ Early Neolithic interface. The Middle and Late Neolithic occupations are represented by numerous symbolic objects such as hundreds of figurines indicating the important role of the cave in ritual activities. Τhe first volume comprises the stratigraphy analysis of the pottery of Neolithic and Bronze Age research period 1994-2000 as well as geomorphology of Kopais area archaeobotanical remains obsidian artefacts and pottery chemical analysis.</p><p>==================================================================</p><p><strong>IMPORTANT: The price does NOT include the shipping cost which depends on actual weight and destination. </strong></p> University of the Aegean and Polish Academy of Arts and Science hardcover

Hard cover 22x30 cm 498 pp. ill.; net weight 2640 gr.</p><p>ISBN: 978-618-5209-216.</p><p>This monograph on the castle of Modon leads us on a journey from Homer to the 20th century and concentrates particularly on the Venetian presence. It aims to remain accessible to the general reader and explores certain themes that until now have been shrouded in darkness: the correct name of Modon its ancient walls and coins the written and pictorial evidence for the castle the structure of its Venetian administration the deciphering and identification of the 27 coats of arms of Modon the history of the lion of Venice the study of the 18 lions embedded in the walls the discovery of the real attribution of the wrongly named Morosini column the restoration of the name of the so-called Villehardouin tower the examination and reading of the mason’s mark of the central gate the finding of the correct original name of the eight-sided tower of the mole which is still called by its Turkish name Bourtzi and the identification of the Mediaeval form of the old harbour.</p><p>When the restoration of the castle is secured excavations will be able to bring to light those treasures still hidden in once-rich. Modon. Some of these treasures will demonstrate a privileged development others will bring out a particular sensitivity. Some are buried under the ground some others have fallen into the sea but all of them are locked up in a talkative silence. Time and Man have shifted and accumulated the soil burying valuable evidence of the past. Nature’s fury threw down buildings and sent to the depths the ships that ignored her caprices. Everything that escaped the earthquakes conquerors and the antiquities looters remains under earth and stones. The most valuable treasures are those that do not gleam as long as there are those that value the knowledge they reveal. The debt to cultural heritage is incalculable; the damage it has suffered great; concern for its preservation however is small for the time being. It is good for people to dream; but it is safer to know what they must do when they wake up.</p><p><224710></p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>==============================================================</p><p><b>IMPORTANT: The price does NOT include the shipping cost which depends on actual weight and destination.

186775634N.p.: N.p. ca. 1867. The sheet possibly taken from and album but there are no signs of that measures 9 x 11 1/4 inches and it bears three small photographs: George King of the Greeks; Olga Queen of the Greeks and Athens Surrounding these photographs someone has penned in a very neat hand a fair copy of John Milton's poem Athens. A very attractive presentation.The byzantine ways of Europe's royalty never ceases to amaze. "Born a Danish Prince in Copenhagen’s royal Yellow Palace King George I of the Hellenes 1845-1913 was seventeen when he was elected to establish a new dynasty of kings by the Greek National Assembly who had deposed Bavarian-born King Otto and the unpopular Queen Amalia in 1862. King George had the distinction of taking the Greek throne before his father who was to become King Christian IX of Denmark. His nomination was supported by the Great Powers of Russia France and Great Britain. The Greek government held a plebiscite and the British Prince Alfred Duke of Edinburgh was awarded 95% of the vote but his mother Queen Victoria was adamant that the Prince would not leave England so Prince George took the prize.When King George I sailed into Athens in 1863 he said ‘my strength is in the love of my people’. In his accession speech the King declared ‘in these modern days Princes must strive to be superior in intellect knowledge and goodness to those around them’. A born democrat King George supported the constitutional monarchy and swiftly mastered Greek as well as national sports such as wrestling and running. He established the modern Olympic Games in Athens and opened the summer games in 1896. His endeavors to endear himself to his people earned him the moniker ‘Father of the Nation’ and King George reigned for almost fifty-years" Henry Poole. He was killed by an anarchist in 1913 right after he chose to abdicate the throne. There is a large photograph of a British tombstone on the verso. N.p. unknown
