Η συμβολή του Gerald Cadogan στην αρχαιολογία της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου σχετίζεται με τα δύο μεγάλα νησιά, την Κρήτη και την Κύπρο, όπου διηύθυνε τις ανασκαφές, στον Μύρτο-Πύργο και στο Μαρώνι-Βούρνες αντίστοιχα. Ο τόμος αυτός περιλαμβάνει κυρίως άρθρα για την Κρήτη και την Κύπρο από μελετητές που διδάχθηκαν από τον Cadogan ή συνεργάστηκαν μαζί του στις ανασκαφές τα τελευταία πενήντα χρόνια. Περισσότερες από τριάντα μελέτες προβάλλουν τη μεγάλη ποικιλία των ενδιαφερόντων του Cadogan από την ερμηνεία των ανασκαφικών δεδομένων –στρωματογραφία, αρχιτεκτονική, κεραμική και μικρο...

The Ashmolean Museum of the University of Oxford is home to one of the finest collections of art and archaeology in the world. With some 10,000 objects, it is also the home of the best and most comprehensive collection of Aegean antiquities (Cycladic, Minoan and Mycenaean) outside of Greece. Much is owed to Sir Arthur Evans (1851 - 1941) who managed during his directorship (1884-1908) to strengthen significantly the museum’s archaeological holdings and to establish it as one of the leading centres of archaeological research. Evans is primarily known today for his excavation...

A new guidebook to Phaistos and the other archeological sites of south-central Crete is by no means redundant. All the monuments of the Mesara are first-class and testify to the importance of the area throughout history. There has not been a new guide to these monuments for over a decade, while more recent excavations, investigations, studies and publications have added a wealth of information. [...] (from the foreword of the book)

Rediger encore un livre-quide au sujet de Phaistos et d'autres sites archeologiques du sud de la Crete centrale n'est pas superflu. Tous les monuments de la Messara ont une importance majeure et temoignent de l'importance de la region a travers toutes les periodes de l'histoire de l'ile. Le quide le plus recent sur ce partimoine date de plus de 10 ans malgre la foule de nouvelles informations apportees par la progression des fouilles, recherches, etudes et publications.

Dans la plaine de la Messara, la plus grande et la plus fertile de Crete, sur une colline qui la domine d'une extremite a l'autre, est bati le palais de Phaistos, le second centre du monde minoen, apres Knossos, et l'un des quatre splendides palais cretois. Il fut decouvert par les fouilles commencees en 1900 par la Mission archeologique italienne, immediatement apres la proclamation de la "Cite Cretoise" et l'independance de l'ile. Le premier chef de la mission fut l'archeologue Federico Halbherr, auquel devaient succeder Luigi Pernier et, apres la 2eme Guerre Mondiale, Do...

Die Abfassung eines weiteren Fuhrers zu Phaistos und den anderen archaologischen Statten im Suden Zentralkretas ist nicht uberflussig. Alle Monumente in der Messara sind von Weltrang und bezeugen die Bedeutung der Region in allen geschichtlichen Perioden. Ein neuerer Fuhrer zu diesen Monumenten ist seit zehn Jahren nicht mehr erschienen, hingegen sind durch jungste Ausgrabungen, Forschungen, Untersuchungen und Publikationen zahlreiche Informationen hinzugefugt. [...] (vom vorwort des Buches)

High on a hill and controlling the plain of the Mesara - the largest and most fertile plain on Crete - from one end to the other, stands the Palace of Phaestos, the second most important palace of the Minoan world after Knossos and one of the four magnificent palaces of Crete. The Palace of Phaestos was discovered during excavations conducted by the Italian Archaeological School in 1900, immediately after the proclamation of the "Cretan State". The first head of the School was the archaeologist Federico Halbherr, who was subsequently succeeded by Luigi Pernier and after the...

In "Ippias Meizon", Platon, shows Socrates as the opposite of the sophists and the orators, that is, his daemonious-luck (tyche) pushed him to continuous research (289e). So the research character of study of Plato's philosophy was based on, is the same with what we could like to work with, in these workshops. We will be directed in our research not only towards the external knowledge we are going to acquire, but using this knowledge, to get to know ourselves better and understand the aims of the school. One of the positive things of the research attitude, is that it puts...
