Το βιβλίο με τίτλο: "37 οχυρώσεις της Βοιωτίας", έρχεται να ολοκληρώσει την καταγραφή των οχυρώσεων που ξεκίνησε με το εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα: "Οι Πύργοι - Φρυκτωρίες και οι Ακροπόλεις της κοιλάδας του Βοιωτικού Κηφισού και της Κωπαΐδας. Η παρούσα έκδοση περιλαμβάνει τους οκτώ (8) "πύργους" και τις τρεις (3) "ακροπόλεις" της αρχικής έκδοσης μαζί με άλλες είκοσι δύο (22) "οχυρώσεις", που είτε κατασκευάστηκαν κατά τον "Μεσαίωνα", είτε προϋπήρχαν και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν με ή χωρίς προσθήκες αυτήν την ιστορική περίοδο. Με την καταγραφή αυτή καλύπτεται μάλλον το σύνολο των οχυρώ...

The reception of Classical antiquity by modern Greek society was subject to a complex historical process, now in need of rigorous reappraisal. Instead of merely importing older cultural genealogies from post-Enlightenment Europe, Greek intellectuals constructed their own readings of the past, based on the notion of an uninterrupted continuity in the history of the Hellenic nation. Archaeology was called upon to perform a crucial role in forging a new identity for Greece based on the antiquity of Hellas. This idiosyncratic approach combined the rationality of Western epis...

La publication du corpus des inscriptions grecques et latines des cites acheennes fait suite a celui de Patras, publie en 1998 dans la meme serie (MEΛETHMATA 25). Si le present volume contient moins de documents, ceux-ci sont plus varies et se repartissent mieux dans le temps; contrairement au volume precedent, le nombre de documents publics est important et illustre bien l'histoire de certaines cites, particulierement a l'epoque hellenistique. Comme par le passe, nous n'avons pas voulu presenter un catalogue laconique mais nous avons cru bon de pousser au maximum le commen...

The jigsaw puzzle of the metallurgy and metalworking of the Aegean is slowly being completed. It is being filled in by new finds, new methods, and analyses that point to new possibilities. The pieces of the puzzle are still difficult to assemble: our knowledge is frequently fragmented, both geographically and chronologically. Nevertheless it is now possible to arrive at a minimum series of technical events in a chronological and geographical sequence, not just a sequence of abstract technological development, following a continuous and linear concept. The effort is rather d...

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...

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...

"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 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...

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...
