BATTLE
OF CRETE
REMEMBERED
|
Celebrations
marking the 67th anniversary of the Battle of Crete
commenced on Sunday, due to culminate the following Sunday, with Prime
Minister Kostas Karamanlis issuing a message referring to the historic
event but also to the efforts made by Greece today, both internally
and abroad. The Battle of Crete began on May 20, 1941 when Nazi
forces launched an unprecedented airborne invasion of Crete, code-named
"Merkur." The operation was successful in that it wrested
control of the island from Allied forces, although the victory was so
costly due to the stiff resistance by Greek, British, ANZAC troops and
local Cretans that the Wehrmacht never again attempted a major airborne
operation.
"The
Battle of Crete, one of the most glorious and heroic pages of the World
War II epos, is a source of pride and inspiration for every Greek. It is a
resounding example of what can be achieved by a peoples struggling for
their freedom and dignity, even when facing the superior weaponry of a
conqueror," Karamanlis said in his message. The prime minister
noted that Greece today was, by its actions, honouring the
struggle and sacrifices of its forefathers and its Allies for a strong and
prospering homeland in a free, peaceful and democratic world.

MICHAEL
OF RHODES
|
In
1401 a young man named Michael of Rhodes
(from
the island of Rhodes: www.rhodes.gr)
joined the Venetian navy as a lowly galley oarsman. Over the next four
decades, he sailed on more than 40 voyages and took part in five major sea
battles, rising through the ranks to become a trusted galley commander.
Michael documented his life and knowledge in a remarkable manuscript. Only
recently retrieved, it chronicles Michael's service record and includes
more than 200 pages of commercial and calendrical computations, a
beautifully illustrated section on astrology, some of the earliest
surviving portolan aids to navigation, and the world's first known
treatise on shipbuilding.

The
Birth of the Greek State
|
On
July 6 1827 the great powers at the time - England, France and Russia -
signed the Treaty
of London,
thereby recognizing the establishment of a free Greek state. The sultan
rejection of the treaty was the spark that sent the joint fleets of Turkey
and Egypt on the one side and Russia, France and Great Britain on the
other on a collision course, in the Battle
of Navarino
(8 October 1827) which wreaked utter devastation upon the hapless Turkish
Egyptian sailors.

Informations archéologiques du
19e siècle sur la base de données de l'Université de Thessalonique
(ANA - 19/12/2008)
|
Une nouvelle source
d'informations archéologiques du 19e siècle est disponible sur Internet
grâce au travail réalisé par le département Histoire et Archéologie
de l'Université Aristote de Thessalonique qui porte le titre
"Archivage et numérisation d'informations archéologiques publiées
dans la presse quotidienne et périodique couvrant la période de 1832 à
1932 et création d'un site Internet".
Il s'agit d'une base de données
qui jusqu'à présent inclut 20.000 informations archéologiques publiées
par 31 quotidiens athéniens du 19e siècle et auxquelles tout un chacun
peut avoir accès sur le site : http://archpress.web.auth.gr ou http://www.lib.auth.gr/site/gr/esources/digitization.
Le but de ce travail est la création
d'une collection composée de données culturelles présentées
scientifiquement, qui soit facile d'accès pour le monde des chercheurs,
ainsi que le grand public.

A
history of Athens
(GNA)
|
The
urban network of the city of Athens is still based on the ancient one. The
axes of main streets are the same or follow those of ancient roads. Though
the most impressive fact is the continuity in use of the urban area. And
this is what is called historic sequel and the continuation of Athenian
landscape.
The
National
Foundation of Research
recently organised a series of twelve tutorials which focus on the
Archaeology of Athens. Twelve scholars presented the most crucial aspects
of the history of Athenian urban and suburban space from pre-historic
times to modern ones. Some of the texts have translated into English.

Eleusinian Mysteries
(GNA - 02/11/2009)
|
The
Eleusinian Mysteries
were secretive ceremonies of initiation into the cult of Demeter and Kore
(Demeter’s daughter Persephone), whose main sanctuary lay in Eleusis,
west of Athens.
Demeter
was the goddess of agricultural abundance, and Persephone, Demeter’s
daughter was the goddess of the Underworld and of fertility of the earth.
Demeter
and Kore, as well as Dionysus, god of wine and ritual ecstasy - were
central figures in the Eleusinian Mysteries, which represented the
foremost mystery cult in ancient Greece.
The
low and frequently overlooked ruins lying beside the path that leads down
the northern slope of the Acropolis
into the Agora
are the crumbling walls and terraces of a building complex that once
played a major role in ancient Greek religious life - the City Eleusinion.
Archaeological
traces of the once-celebrated rites stretch across the Attic landscape
from the Athenian Agora and the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos
to the intriguing sanctuary of Demeter at Eleusis.
