Dieser Wegweiser fuhrt den Besucher durch ein Randgebiet der alten Stadt Athen mit wenigen Gebauden im kleinen Stadtbereich und zahlreichen Grabstatten im Gelande vor der Stadtmauer, einer gut erhaltenen Anlage, die Stadt und Vorstadt voneinander trennt. Der alte Bach "Eridanos" durchzieht die Ausgrabung von Osten nach Westen und schafft zusammen mit begrunten Grabhugeln und aufragenden Grabmonumenten ein reizvolles Landschaftsbild. Von modernen Strassen hoch umgeben ist die Kerameikos-Grabung ein zufalliger Ausschnitt ohne Zentrum und mit verwirrender Vielfalt seiner an...

[...] The exhibition helps to understand how in this city-state of some thousand citizens it was possible for the individual Athenian to get to the People's meetings, to express his opinion, to contribute to concrete law proposals and to have them passed as resolutions which the executive officers were bound to implement. Walking through the exhibition, which is organized by the Hellenic Parliament Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy, following the initiative of its President and President of the Hellenic Parliament Mr. Dimitrios Sioufas, you will study the dif...

The concepts of democracy and publicity are profoundly and organically interlinked. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the archetypal example of the ancient Athenian democracy is so closely associated with the systematic recording of its activity in a variety of written texts. These were announced and erected in public areas so that they could be read and so that they could document its decisions and through these its thought and methods. The citizens could and, theoretically at least, had a duty to be aware of what the state they shared was doing and how it ought to fun...

[...] The first volume in the series "Archaeology" examined the Aegean islands, excepting Euboea. I had pointed out there that this exception was dictated by the geographical peculiarity of Euboea and its dual -island and mainland- cultural physiognomy over the millennia. The second volume completes the circumnavigation of the islands, opening with the large island of Euboea in the Aegean. It then moves westwards towards the Ionian Sea, covering the southern part of the Greek Mainland, the region known today as Central Greece or Sterea Hellas. During historical times, th...

"Aegean Islands", the first book in the series "Archaeology", produced by the MELISSA Publishing House, is a review of archaeological activity in the islands of the Archipelago from the nineteenth century to the present day, with emphasis on the most important field research, findings and finds of the last twenty years. The book aims at a comprehensive and collective assessment of the Aegean island world and its culture. This was the basic idea and it is this that we consider is the value and the contribution of the work to the contemporary bibliography, as archaeologica...

The extraordinary feats of conquest of Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great have left a lasting imprint in the annals of world history. Successive Persian and Greek rule over vast stretches of territory from the Indus to the eastern Mediterranean also created an international environment in which people, commodities, technological innovations, as well as intellectual, political, and artistic ideas could circulate across the ancient world unhindered by ethno-cultural and territorial barriers, bringing about cross-fertilization between East and West. These broad patterns o...

The idea of publishing a collective volume on the archaeological sites and monuments of Corinthia was born of the need to fill the gap existing in the relevant bibliography. However, our concern was not to write a run-of-the-mill tourist guidebook, like those on sale to visitors in the museums, but to present the monuments and their history in such a way as to enhance Corinthia's outstanding place in the ancient world. From the outset, our goal was to produce a monumental possession for all time, as well as a tool for all those who struggle for the development of Corinthia...
