Nella Grecia centrosettentrionale un ruolo storico eccezionale ebbero dall'antichità all'età moderna le regioni geograficamente pertinenti alla Tessaglia meridionale, caratterizzate dal sistema montuoso dell'Othrys, dal golfo Maliakós e dal grande golfo di Pagasitis. In questo volume, dedicato alla regione denominata in età classica Acaia Ftiotide, che comprendeva anche Ftia e gli altri centri che l'epica attribuiva ad Achille, si impostano una serie di temi essenziali, il ruolo dei valichi dell'Othrys, l'occupazione della piana a nord dell'Othrys, i sistemi viari, gli insediamenti, i centri e le fortificazioni connesse. Si delineano le modalità di utilizzo delle diverse potenzialità insediative da parte di una serie di centri, alcuni connessi allo sfruttamento del rame, che divennero poleis. Tra queste, già in età arcaica, Melitela divenne gradualmente il baricentro economico e politico della regione. Gli obiettivi di ricerca perseguiti hanno richiesto necessariamente, non solo le metodologie centrali nella storia antica, storiografia, filologia e archeologia, ma anche le analisi proprie della geografia storica.
ril. I circa sette secoli di storia greca raccontata in questo libretto meritavano sicuramente un'esposizione più dettagliata e meno saltellante poiché non di una sola poléis o stato si tratta, ma di tantissimi ambiti geografici partecipi o coinvolti comunque nelle vicende degli stati greci o a questi gravitanti. È stata preferita una stesura coeva degli avvenimenti salienti pur se spalmati in un vastissimo areale anziché tante piccole storie sconnesse e limitate nel loro spazio e nel loro tempo.

The scene is Paris, sometime after the 1967 military coup in Greece. Eleni, together with a group of her friends and fellow political exiles, finds herself working as an extra in a French film: The Horror Train. It is not the first time Eleni has been caught up in a deadly drama, nor is it her first ride on a "horror train." As the director waves his arms, shouting directions and re-shouting the sequence, Eleni's mind wanders to her first train ride: "Athens-Piraeus. My first big trip by train. - You're Eleni? I'm Achilles. They don't ask which Achilles. One name is enough." For the rest of her life, Eleni will be "Achilles' Fiancee," fiancee of the guerilla leader, the brave, handsome kapetanios whose code-name is Achilles. In the demonstrations against the German occupiers of Greece, in prison where she waits for a death sentence during the post-war persecution of suspected leftists, in exile in Tashkent where the exiled Greek communists fight amongst themselves, and finally in Paris. But somewhere along the way Eleni becomes an indepentent character with a mind of her own. As she begins to doubt the slogans that she fought for when she was a blind follower of leaders like her fiance. Eleni involves us in her own private world of self-discovery. It is a woman's world, where human warmth and friendships matter more than abstract ideals. The Greek word for a novel is mythistorema, a word that combines "myth" and "history." In her story of a young woman's struggle to survive through an extraordinary period of Greek history Alki Zei has woven the threads of her own quasi-mythical life into the stuff of history. The result is a compelling and beautiful novel that opens a new window on modern Greek history.374p. Book
