Seeking the Cypriot Merchant. Personal objects as indicators of identity?
Full text linkΑναζητώντας τον Κύπριο έμπορο: Προσωπικά αντικείμενα ως ενδεικτικά ταυτότητας;Το θέμα του εμπορίου στα παράλια της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου κατά την Ύστερη Εποχή του Χαλκού και ο ρόλος της Κύπρου σε αυτά τα δίκτυα ανταλλαγής έχουν λάβει σημαντική επιστημονική προσοχή τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Ωστόσο, η αναγνώριση της φυσικής παρουσίας των Κυπρίων εμπόρων εκτός Κύπρου δεν έχει ακόμη συζητηθεί λεπτομερώς, κυρίως λόγω των μεθοδολογικών προβλημάτων και περιορισμών. Στη παρούσα μελέτη προτείνεται ότι, επιχειρώντας τον εντοπισμό προσωπικών αντικειμένων, τα οποία μπορεί να έχουν χρησιμεύσει ως ενδεικτικά ταυτότητας, είναι δυνατό να αποκτήσουμε μια εικόνα του τόπου διαμονής αυτών των εμπόρων εκτός Κύπρου, ειδικά στο Αιγαίο και στη Συροπαλαιστινιακή ακτή. Για τον σκοπό αυτόν, ο υλικός πολιτισμός από την Κύπρο που βρίσκεται εκτός νησιού παρουσιάζεται και συζητείται, με την προσθήκη πληροφοριών από τις γραπτές πηγές, όπου αυτές υπάρχουν. Φαίνεται ότι τα πήλινα ταυρόσχημα αγγεία, τα γυναικεία ειδώλια (Τύπου Α και Β), και οι μεγάλοι πίθοι, όταν εξεταστούν στο περιβάλλον εντοπισμού τους, μπορούν να δώσουν χρήσιμα στοιχεία, καθώς είναι δυνατόν να θεωρηθούν προσωπικά αντικείμενα των Κυπρίων. Η παρούσα συνδυαστική μελέτη του υλικού πολιτισμού και των γραπτών πηγών έδειξε ότι είναι δυνατό να εντοπιστούν ορισμένες περιοχές, τόσο παράκτιες όσο και στην ενδοχώρα, στις οποίες θα μπορούσαν να κατοικούν Κύπριοι έμποροι που άφησαν πίσω τους ίχνη της παρουσίας τους.The subject of trade in the Eastern Mediterranean littoral during the Late Bronze Age and the role of Cyprus in these exchange networks, have received significant scholarly attention over the past decades. However, the identification of the physical presence of the Cypriot merchants outside Cyprus has yet to be discussed in detail, primarily due to the methodological problems and limitations of such a research questions. This paper suggests it is possible to acquire a sense of the whereabouts of these merchants outside Cyprus, especially in the Aegean and the Levant, by attempting to identify personal belongings which can be used as identity indicators. For this purpose, selected material culture from Cyprus, which was found outside the island, is discussed together with contemporary textual evidence, where available. A contextual examination of clay bull-shaped vessels, female figurines (Type A and B), and large pithoi can provide useful insights as they may be considered personal objects of Cypriots. This combined study of material culture and textual evidence showed that it is possible to identify certain areas, both coastal and inland, where Cypriot merchants could have resided, leaving behind them traces of their presence
JERUSALEM, AS ARCHETYPICAL “HOUSE” OF BEING RELIGIOUS
No full textIn this presentation I will try briefly to refer semantically to the archetypical spirituality of Jerusalem (videlicet as a sign of Transcendence) or Zion [deriving from Zedek (compare with Melchi-zedek)], which as names represent the entire Judaism, researching particular Jewish and Greek Orthodox Patristic sources. Origen , Gregory of Nyssa and all Hesych Fathers provide rich, psychological and allegorical interpretation of Jerusalem as every human religious soul
Unwinding the thread: interdisciplinary research on early wool craft in Greek prehistory
Full text linkΞετυλίγοντας το νήμα. Διεπιστημονική έρευνα για την πρώιμη εριουργία στην ελληνική προϊστορία.Στο άρθρο συζητούνται τα αποτελέσματα διεπιστημονικής έρευνας για την πρώιμη εριουργία στην ηπειρωτική και νησιωτική Ελλάδα στο διάστημα από την Αρχαιότερη Νεολιθική έως την Πρώιμη Χαλκοκρατία (7η – 3η χιλιετία π.Χ.), μία περίοδο χωρίς αρχαιολογικά τεκμήρια υφασμάτων. Η εφαρμοσθείσα διεπιστημονική προσέγγιση συνδυάζει τη ζωοαρχαιολογία και την τεχνολογική ανάλυση εργαλείων νηματουργίας. Η ζωοαρχαιολογική μελέτη αναζητεί τη δημογραφική σύνθεση των προϊστορικών κοπαδιών, μέσω μιας συνθετικής επανεξέτασης των ηλικιών θανάτωσης των αιγοπροβάτων και τις αναλογίες αρσενικών και θηλυκών προβάτων από δημοσιεύσεις θέσεων του υπό εξέταση διαστήματος. Υπολογίζονται οι συντελεστές μεταβλητότητας από δημοσιευμένες μετρήσεις οστών προβάτων, προκειμένου να διαπιστωθούν αυξομειώσεις του σκελετού του προβάτου στην υπό εξέταση περίοδο, ως αποτέλεσμα βελτίωσης του κοπαδιού. Τέλος, για να ανιχνευθούν τυχόν αλλαγές στο σχήμα του σκελετού του προβάτου, αναλύονται με γεωμετρική μορφομετρία αστράγαλοι προβάτων από δύο περιπτώσεις μελέτης, τους Σιταγρούς Δράμας στη βόρεια Ελλάδα και την Αλεπότρυπα Λακωνίας στην Πελοπόννησο, στη νότια Ελλάδα. Στην τεχνολογική προσέγγιση, γίνεται επισκόπηση των αντικειμένων που έχουν ερμηνευθεί ως σφονδύλια αδραχτιού στις αρχαιολογικές δημοσιεύσεις που αφορούν στο υπό διερεύνηση χρονολογικό πλαίσιο, με σκοπό την αναζήτηση ενδείξεων σημαντικών τεχνολογικών αλλαγών. Τα αποτελέσματα της βιβλιογραφικής έρευνας αλλά και της επιτόπιας εξέτασης των εργαλείων από τους Σιταγρούς και την Αλεπότρυπα συζητούνται μέσα στο πλαίσιο της ανθρωπολογίας της τεχνολογίας. Η τεχνολογική προσέγγιση λαμβάνει υπόψη τόσο τα εθνογραφικά δεδομένα όσο και τα δημοσιευμένα αποτελέσματα της πειραματικής αρχαιολογίας. Η μελέτη καταλήγει στην πρόταση/υπόθεση ότι η εριουργία στην ελληνική προϊστορία ενδεχομένως είχε αρχίσει ήδη από τη Μέση Νεολιθική. Αναμφίβολα, περαιτέρω έρευνα είναι απαραίτητη για τον έλεγχο αυτής της πρότασης/υπόθεσης.This paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary research on the beginnings of wool craft in continental and insular Greece between the 7th millennium (Early Neolithic) and the 3rd millennium BC (Early Bronze Age), a period from which no woolen textile remains are preserved. In the zooarchaeological component, a synthetic reassessment of published caprine mortality profiles and sex ratios from Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites is presented in order to detect patterns of flock construction supporting wool harvest. Furthermore, a statistical reevaluation of published sheep bone measurements from the same contexts is attempted in order to trace skeleton size fluctuations due to sheep improvement efforts. Also, geometric morphometrics analysis was applied to sheep astragali from two case studies, Sitagroi and Alepotrypa, to identify changes in the sheep skeleton shape. In the technological component, spindle whorls from published Neolithic sites and from the better-known Early Bronze Age record were surveyed to detect significant shifts in the technological apparatus of yarn production in the period under study. Data on surface-wear of spindle whorls from the two case-studies, Sitagroi and Alepotrypa, were collected to evaluate the potential of use-wear analysis in the identification of wool spinning. The archaeological data on spindle whorls is discussed in the light of spinning experiments published in the last ten years and with the perspective of ethnographic testimonies on wool spinning. Finally, the experimental activities of wool processing initiated with this project is presented. The combined outcomes of the two research approaches indicate the Middle Neolithic (mid-6th millennium BC) as the earliest horizon in which wool draft may be detected in the region of Greece
Paranormal Phenomena in the light of Psychology of Religion
Full text linkPeople's enthusiasm for supernatural phenomena is another major social source of some Cults. It is the reality of paranormal phenomena that is at stake. Over many years there has been no effort to provide psychologists with a summary of the nature of the investigation, the methods, the evidence, and the state of the research. Once, at least, in a decade question of that difficult or threatening nature. The focus of contemporary investigations in Parapsychology is the attempt to define working conditions under which specific paranormal phenomena, such as extrasensory perception, tend to appear, to define verifiable regularities in their nature.

O περίπτερος ναός στην Άνω Μέλπεια Μεσσηνίας
Full text linkΗ ανασκαφική έρευνα, η οποία διεξήχθη στη θέση «Πετρούλα», βορείως του σημερινού οικισμού της μεσσηνιακής Άνω Μέλπειας, αποκάλυψε τα λείψανα περίπτερου ναού, ενώ από την κατεδάφιση του σύγχρονου ναΐσκου, που είχε οικοδομηθεί στην ανατολική πλευρά του ναού, προέκυψαν μέλη ανωδομής δωρικού προστώου. Στο παρόν άρθρο πραγματοποιείται ανάλυση της αρχιτεκτονικής και της οικοδομικής του ναού στην Άνω Μέλπεια και επιχειρείται η αποκατάσταση στην ευθυντηρία, της στρώσης του στυλοβάτη και των αξονικών αποστάσεων των κιόνων. Ταυτόχρονα παρουσιάζονται τα ιδιαίτερα στοιχεία του δωρικού συστήματος, προσδιορίζονται τα υφολογικά χαρακτηριστικά των διάσπαρτων μελών, ώστε να επιτραπεί η χρονολόγησή τους, αφού αυτά βρέθηκαν εκτός συμφραστικού πλαισίου και επιχειρείται ο προσδιορισμός του αρχιτεκτονικού τύπου του κτηρίου, από το οποίο προέρχονται. Τέλος, εφαρμόζεται σχεδιαστικά ο δωρικός θριγκός στις όψεις του ναού, εξετάζονται τα ζητήματα που προκύπτουν από τον συνδυασμό αυτόν και εκπονούνται οι σχετικές όψεις.The excavation, which was conducted at "Petroula", north of the current settlement of Ano Melpeia in Messenia, revealed the remains of a peripteral temple, while the demolition of the modern church, which was built on the east side of the temple, exposed the components of a Doric entablature and a small number of column drums. In this article an analysis of the architecture and construction of the temple at Ano Melpeia is carried out and an attempt is made to restore the missing layer of stylobate on the euthynteria and the axial distances of the columns. At the same time, the special features of the Doric genus of the scattered members are presented and an in-depth analysis is made to determine the architectural type of the building from which they originated. Finally, the entablature is applied to the facades of the temple, the issues arising from this combination are examined and the restored elevations are drawn in AutoCAD
THE SPIRITUALIZATION OF THE TIME DURING THE LITURGICAL APODOSIS OF CHURCH FEASTS
Full text linkIn this paper, which is part of a Master (The psychological meaning of the liturgical Apodosis of Christian feasts), a psychological interpretation of the spiritualization of time is attempted, which is experienced by every believer during the Apodosis of a Christian feast. Institution, after seven days of a feast (i.e. Apodosis), originated from the Jewish Sabbath, passed away and is a global ― although Christian has been replaced today with Sunday ― a springboard for humanitarian, ecological, moral, social, qualitative, cultural, socioeconomic, political and spiritual guides, measures and related initiatives. Thus, Sunday, and every festive Apodosis is an extremely necessary existence-psychological act, function, experience and situation for each person, if the person wants to remain human, and mainly free from any kind (material or mental) addictions and idols
Σχολείο και κοινωνία: Η θέση της Αριστεράς για την εκπαίδευση στη συγκυρία του 1945
Full text linkΤο κείμενο του Κ. Μαρίνη, που αναδημοσιεύεται από το εβδομαδιαίο περιοδικό Ελεύθερα Γράμματα του Ιουλίου του 1945, με συνοδευτικές παρατηρήσεις του Χρήστου Τζήκα για την ιστορικοκοινωνική πλαισίωσή του, είναι ενδεικτικό για τους τρόπους με τους οποίους προσέγγιζε η Αριστερά τη σχέση της εκπαίδευσης με την κοινωνία στη χώρα μας μετά τη λήξη του Β΄ Παγκόσμιου Πολέμου και παρά την πρόσφατη ήττα της στα Δεκεμβριανά. Η έμφαση του κειμένου στη συμβολή της εκπαίδευσης στην παραγωγική ανάπτυξη η οποία εντάσσεται στην προοπτική του ριζικού κοινωνικοπολιτικού μετασχηματισμού μπορεί να είναι χρήσιμη σήμερα για την τροφοδότηση μιας σχετικής συζήτησης που έχει κομβική σημασία για τη στρατηγική συγκρότηση της κίνησης της Κριτικής Εκπαίδευσης
Εργαστήρια Δεξιοτήτων. Και γιατί όχι Εργαστήρια Γνώσης;
Full text linkΗ παρούσα εργασία εστιάζει στην έννοια των «δεξιοτήτων» και αναλύει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αξιοποιείται στο πλαίσιο του μαθήματος Skills Workshop. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, στόχος της μελέτης είναι να υποδηλώσει ότι υπάρχει ισχυρή σύνδεση μεταξύ της έννοιας των «δεξιοτήτων», αφενός, και των σημερινών αναγκών της αγοράς εργασίας, αφετέρου. Η δραματική επίδραση των τρεχουσών οικονομικών εξελίξεων στις παιδαγωγικές σχέσεις είναι στο προσκήνιο. Υπό αυτό το πρίσμα, αντιμετωπίζουμε το ζήτημα του αναπροσανατολισμού των σχολικών πρακτικών και της εμφάνισης νέων παιδαγωγικών θεωρητικών εργαλείων. Σε αντίθεση με αυτήν την εξέλιξη, προτείνουμε έναν άλλο τρόπο σκέψης που ενισχύει την κριτική επίγνωση της γνώσης της πραγματικότητας και ενθαρρύνει την αυθεντική και χειραφετημένη δράση των ανθρώπων. The present paper focuses on the concept of “skills” and analyses the way in which it is utilised within the context of the Skills Workshop course. More specifically, the aim of the study is to suggest that there is a strong connection between the concept of "skills", on the one hand, and the current needs of labor market, on the other. The dramatic influence of current economic developments on pedagogic relations is foregrounded. In light of this, we face the issue of the reorientation of school practices and the appearance of new pedagogical theoretical tools. Opposite to this development, we propose another way of thinking that fosters critical awareness of knowledge of reality and encourages authentic and emancipated action of people
Η παρουσία και λατρεία της Αθηνάς στο Ασκληπιείο και στην πόλη της Επιδαύρου
Full text linkΗ μελέτη επισκοπεί διαχρονικά τη λατρεία της θεάς Αθηνάς και τη σημασία της στα τοπικά θρησκευτικά συμφραζόμενα της Επιδαύρου (αρχαίας πόλης και Ασκληπιείου) με αφορμή δύο αδημοσίευτα αγαλμάτια της θεάς, ύστερης κλασικής και ύστερης αυτοκρατορικής περιόδου αντίστοιχα. Η λατρεία της Αθηνάς στην Επιδαυρία αν και παλαιά, παράμεινε διαχρονικά δευτερεύουσας σημασίας σε σχέση με εκείνη του Ασκληπιού. Στην πόλη της Επιδαύρου η θεά λατρεύεται ως Κισσαία, ενώ οι στενές σχέσεις με την Αθήνα κατά την πρώιμη περίοδο αντικατοπτρίζονται στη λατρεία των θεαινών Δαμίας και Αυξησίας, τοπικής εκδοχής των Ελευσινίων Θεοτήτων. Τον 4ο αι. π.Χ., η συνειδητή επιλογή διαμόρφωσης της λατρείας του Ασκληπιού σε ένα εξαγώγιμο, διεθνές πολιτιστικό προϊόν οδηγεί στην ένταξη στο τελετουργικό της αναίμακτης πρόθυσης πριν την εγκοίμηση νέων ελάσσονων θεοτήτων μεταξύ των οποίων και η Αθηνά (υπό αττική επιρροή). Κατά την ελληνιστική και αυτοκρατορική περίοδο, η θέση της θεάς σε σχέση με την κύρια λατρεία παραμένει δευτερεύουσα, με την αττική επιρροή, καλλιτεχνική και θρησκευτική, να βαίνει ολοένα αυξανόμενη. Η τάση αυτή θα οδηγήσει ιδίως κατά τον 3ο – 4ο αι. μ.Χ. στη στενή σύνδεση της λατρείας του Ασκληπιού με εκείνη των Ελευσινίων Θεοτήτων (κατά τα πρότυπα της Αττικής), μέσω της παλαιάς τοπικής εκδοχής των τελευταίων στην πόλη της Επιδαύρου. The study focuses on the cult of the goddess Athena and its importance within the local religious context of Epidauros (ancient city and Asklepieion) on the occasion of the publication of two hitherto unknown statuettes of the goddess, of late Classical and late imperial date respectively. The cult of Athena in Epidauros, although old, remained of secondary importance in relation to that of Asklepios. In the city of Epidauros the goddess was worshipped with the epithet Kissaia, while the close relationship the city maintained with Athens during the early Archaic period is reflected in the worship of two local olive-tree deities, Damia and Auxesia, local versions of the Eleusinian Deities. In the 4th c. BC, the conscious choice of shaping the cult of Asklepios in an exportable, international cultural product leads to the inclusion in the ritual of bloodless sacrifice preceding incubation, of new minor deities, including Athena (probably under Athenian influence). During the Hellenistic and Imperial periods, Athena’s position in the Epidaurian pantheon remains secondary, while Attic influence, artistic and religious, gradually but consistently increases. This tendency will lead especially during the 3rd and 4th c. A.D. to the cult of Asklepios being closely connected to that of the Eleusinian Deities, with the latter’s Archaic Epidaurian version serving as the intermediary link.The study focuses on the cult of the goddess Athena and its importance within the local religious context of Epidauros (ancient city and Asklepieion) on the occasion of the publication of two hitherto unknown statuettes of the goddess, of late Classical and late imperial date respectively.

Vol. 9 (2022). Beyond Cyprus: Investigating Cypriot Connectivity in the Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to the End of the Classical Period
No full textΠερίληψηThis volume is largely based on papers presented at the international conference “Beyond Cyprus: Investigating Cypriot Connectivity in the Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to the End of the Classical Period”, that was held digitally on 8–11 December 2020, under the auspices of the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation.The conference was organised by the editor of the volume as part of a postdoctoral research project under the same name (acronym CyCoMed), funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI) and the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) within the framework of the first HFRI advertisement for postdoctoral research projects, under grant agreement no. 481.The principal research questions treated in the volume are closely related to the examination and interpretation of Cypriot archaeological, epigraphic and numismatic evidence from extra-insular sites, as well as to the definition of the role Cypriots may have played as participants in the maritime contacts of the ancient Mediterranean. All 41 papers contained in this volume were externally reviewed and revised for publication. They cover a time range that spans approximately the Middle Bronze Age to the Roman period (early second millennium BC to ca AD 300). Equally numerous are the geographic entities examined, covering a large area, from the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea to the Iberian Peninsula, thus providing an overview of Cypriot evidence throughout the Mediterranean.
