"A Key To Ancient Greece" By Sarah Belle Dougherty
beginnings of a metaarcheology. In fact, by simple geometry and starting from known sites, it becomes possible to locate certain points in greece and Anatolia
http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/world/med/me-sbd2.htm

Extractions: By Sarah Belle Dougherty Traveling to Delphi in the late 1950s, Jean Richer, professor of literature with a special interest in symbolism, wondered about the connection between Delphi, site of Apollo's main sanctuary and oracle, and Delos, the god's traditional birthplace, as well as Delphi's relationship with Athena, so prominently represented at the sanctuary. While in Athens, insight came in a dream: a figure of Apollo, facing directly away from him, turned slowly through 180 degrees to face him. Awaking, he found a map and drew a straight line joining Delphi, Athens, and Delos, revealing a spatial relationship among these sacred sites. Over several years Richer continued finding alignments by drawing lines on the map which formed geometric figures, many of which obviously represented projections or correspondences on earth of celestial objects and directions. In fact, "it quickly became clear that the Greeks, like the ancient Mesopotamians and the Egyptians, had wanted to make their country a living image of the heavens."* He soon became convinced that Greece had been divided into twelve sectors corresponding to the twelve signs of the zodiac, with Delphi as the center or omphalos , the "navel" of the Greek mainland. Examining art and artifacts from cities and temples in the pie-shaped sectors, Richer found that, far from containing arbitrary decorations, the images predominantly related to the seasons, solstices, cardinal points, and zodiacal signs corresponding to their particular sector of the Delphic "zodiac."

Greece Sues Gallery For Return Of Mycenaean Jewelry
at Bryn Mawr College and an expert in Mycenaean archeology, stated that in his opinion no such jewelrey had ever been discovered outside of mainland greece. .

Extractions: Greece Sues Gallery for Return of Mycenaean Jewelry By WILLIAM H. HONAN The Government of Greece, seeking the return of rare Mycenaean gold jewelery and ornaments from the 15th century B.C., has filed suit against the Michael Ward Gallery at 9 East 93d Street in Manhattan. The objects, on sale as a lot at the gallery for $1.5 million, include necklaces with lilies, large cusped rosettes from a belt, huge decorated gold rings, sealstones and other stylized jewelry and ornaments. This large gold ring showing two female figures in flounced skirts is among the rare Mycenaean gold jewelery and ornaments from the 15th century B.C. that Greece wants returned from a Manhattan gallery. (Schecter Lee/Michael Ward Gallery) In a suit filed on Monday in Federal District Court in Manhattan, lawyers for Greece contend that the objects were taken in violation of Greek law from one of 18 recently discovered tombs at Aidonia, northeast of Mycenae. They say that the similarity between these objects and others found by Greek Government archeologists at the tombs beginning in 1978 mark them as coming from the same site. The case is unusual not only because of the extreme rarity of the objects but also because Michael Ward, the owner of the gallery, is one of the most prominent dealers in antiquities and serves as a member of the Presidentially appointed Cultural Property Advisory Committee, which authorizes assistance for foreign countries that are losing cultural treasures to looters and the illegal art market.

Extractions: According to Greek mythology, Hercules was tormented and driven to madness by the goddess Hera. In a state of insanity, Hercules committed horrible crimes for which he later repented. The oracle of Delphi instructed Hercules that if he performed a series of tasks given him by his weak cousin Eurystheus, he would be forgiven fully. As shown in this illustrated narrative, he battled a nine-headed hydra while draped in a magical lionskin, gathered golden apples and journeyed to Haydes while performing the Twelve Labors Of Hercules. Here is a well illustrated and complete account of that story produced a group of middle school students. Projects on Ancient Greece: History and Thought of Western Man
UA Dig In Greece Planned

Extractions: Inger Sandal. Arizona Daily Star. Tucson, Ariz.: Dec 6, 2003. pg. B.1 A team that includes members from the University of Arizona is heading to Greece next summer - but they aren't track stars or swimmers. This group is more Indiana Jones than Kerri Strug, researchers whose destination is a mysterious mountain sanctuary where athletic contests, and possibly human sacrifices, were held more than 2,000 years ago. Led by classical archaeologists, the team is a cross- section of disciplines ranging from a bone specialist to a geoscientist who happens to be the UA's provost. "There's some very interesting research that can be done at that interface of geology and classical archeology," said George Davis, who hasn't been in the field since he became provost in 2000. This expedition, led by Associate Professor Mary Voyatzis, head of the UA's classics department, and David Gilman Romano, a senior research scientist at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, will explore the Sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Lykaion and the role it - and the mountain itself - played in shaping civilization. The endeavor will include six-week stints in Greece each summer through 2010. The first five years will be archaeological digs on Mount Lykaion, which is near Olympia, and the final two will be spent studying whatever they find, Voyatzis said.

http://www.arts.cornell.edu/arkeo/courses/SP01.html

Extractions: MWF 10:10-11:00 The birth of civilization in Greece and the Aegean islands during the Bronze Age. The main focus is on the rise and fall of Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece, with consideration given to the nature and significance of Aegean interactions with Egypt, the Near East, and Anatolia. ARKEO 242 Early Agriculture (also Anthropology 242) @ # MWF 11:15-12:05 Throughout most of the human career, people survived by hunting and gathering wild foods. The advent of food production is one of the most profound changes in (pre)history. This course examines the current evidence for the appearance and spread of agriculture (plant and animal domestication) around the world. We will consider definitions of agriculture and domestication, the conditions under which it arises, the consequences for those who adopt it, and why it has spread over most of the world.

ColorQ Articles Etc: Black African Travellers Reach International Destinations P
While the traditional accounts are at times contradictory and do not prove that Africans actually colonized greece, archeology has provided supporting evidence
http://www.colorq.org/Articles/1999/afrotravel.htm

Extractions: ColorQ Home Back to Articles Etc. Contact ColorQ [This article does not claim superiority of African peoples over European peoples or other peoples. Nor does it aim to discount the achievements of non-Africans. Its purpose is to highlight some lesser-known achievements of Africans.] In modern America, we hear of pre-modern black Africans traveling beyond Africa in very limited contexts: they traveled only because they were relocated by non-African (or at least non-black) slave traders or conquerors. This contributes to the stereotype of African blacks as a passive people without the curiosity and desire to venture beyond their immediate surroundings. Some believe Europeans have a decided "natural" edge over Africans because of the supposedly European characteristic of an active mind and a thirst for adventure. Black Africans apparently did not go anywhere by themselves nor did they want to. This article will cover some instances of pre-modern black Africans traveling outside Africa as free people; as traders, explorers, conquerors, colonists and ambassadors; as people of initiative and power. Asia joins Africa, so it is almost redundant to point out that East Africans and North Africans have crossed over to West Asia, and West Asians have crossed over to North and East Africa continuously since ancient times.
Athens, Greece - April 2000
The National Archeological Museum of greece is one of the great museums in the world and it compares to archeology the way the Louvre does to art.
http://www.mrfs.net/trips/2000/Greece/Athens/Athens.html

Extractions: Of course, there is one part of Athens that is quite a bit more visibly attractive than the rest and that would be the Acropolis. This is the view of it from the balcony of our hotel. Just about every hotel in the central part of Athens has a decent view of it, and if you happen to be in a room facing the wrong direction, most hotels also have a rooftop garden. Rooftops are in fact integral to Athenian life. We spent part of both evenings on top of our hotel from which you could see the lights of the city and the various parties and such happening on top of other buildings. Between that and the windows you can see through, it's a little bit like a 360 degree version of 'Rear Window'. The Parthenon is brilliantly lit up at night, and with nightfall much of the air pollution disappears so it is visible from nearly everywhere. That's about it for Athens except to mention jewelry. Neither of us are big jewelry fans but in Athens the goldwork is of very high quality. We ended up at Byzantino on the main street in the Plaka, which we recommend for exceptional gold jewelry as well as conversations on English, French and Greek literature, philosophy, art, history and just about anything else. Most tourists probably come to Athens, see the Acropolis and then leave, and for once we have to agree with them. Unless you like noise, pollution and dense crowds of course. We left Monday morning, hiking to the metro station and taking the train to Piraeus. Piraeus is the port city for Athens and one of the busiest ports in the world. Coming out of the train station you are presented with a view of about 50 or so enormous ferries in all directions and eight lanes of unruly traffic to cross in order to get to them. Once you do get there, there is an entirely different sort of chaos to master.

Welcome To Rob's Greece Page
Although one can study the monuments and archeology of Ancient greece in a class room, no slide can truly capture the size of Cyclopean walls or the Parthenon
http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~rwgroves/greece/welcome.htm

Extractions: Welcome to Rob's Greece Page! First: Me! That's Me; I am a 21 year old, Classics/ Classical Humanities Major studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I went abroad mainly because the idea excited me; Living in the city of Theseus and taking class field trips to the Acropolis, Delphi and Mycenae seemed to valuable of an opportunity (both educationally and personally) to pass up. I should admit though, that I probably wouldn't have gone without my parents encouragement to do so. Next: The Program! I discovered the Penn State program at a study abroad fair here at the UW, but had a difficult time of finding information about it as it was not a UW program. The program is acutally run by Penn State; Madison participates due to a program called AESOP (Alliance for Extended Study Overseas Programs) which allows students to participate in anothers schools programs while remaining enrolled in and earning academic credit at their own schools. The program is a joint effort between PSU and the Athens Centre, an organization in Greece that sponsors cultural events, and teaches Modern Greek as well as coordinating American study abroad programs. They took care of everything from housing to recruitment of some professors to providing the classrooms where our non-field trip classes were to teaching us "yes", "no", "please" and "Thank you" before classes started to just being a general resource. They were very friendly and helpful. A big thanks to Rosemary, Nina, Eleftheria, and Theodora.
