http://www.filetron.com/grkmanual/detailgreekchrono.html

Extractions: The following is a 28-page historical chronology of Greek history and is intended as a tool for quick historical reference for both the novice and student of Greek culture. It is hoped that by using this tool it will whet the interest to research further into Greece's rich cultural heritage. I am neither a historian nor an academician and my interest in Greek history is in connection with Greek folk dance and folklore. It was compiled for purposes of my own research of Greek culture without any other goals in mind; there are eras with more detail than others due to my interest in that period. The reference material from which I drew all my information is included at the end of the chronology. With these caveats in mind, peruse the document at your leisure. For those with questions, comments or suggestions, please contact me at ChKyriacou@aol.com Many of you have made inquiries concerning different aspects of Greek history and culture. I thought I'd share them with others and link the research I had done on the subjects to items in the chronology. Thank you everyone for your questions. Keep them coming!

http://www.government.bg/English/Bulgaria/History/

Extractions: Thursday, 22 September 2005 08:14 Back Print The territory of Bulgaria has been inhabited since the earliest historical times: the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Age. Archaeological discoveries from that time have been made near Karlovo, in the region of the towns of Nova Zagora, Veliko Turnovo, Vidin, Sofia, Teteven, Troyan and in the Rhodope Mountains. The oldest gold treasure in the world, discovered near Varna, is dated to that time. During the Bronze Age the present-day Bulgarian lands were inhabited by the Thracians, mentioned for the first time by Homer. They were engaged in agriculture and stockbreeding, and left evidence of a rich culture (the Vulchitrun gold treasure). The first Thracian state unions emerged in the 11th-6th centuries BC, which flourished in the 7th-6th centuries BC. In the 1st century BC their lands were conquered by Rome, and after the 5th century AD they were incorporated in the Byzantine Empire. The Thracians were later gradually assimilated by the Slavs who settled in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century AD. In the second half of the 7th century, the Proto-Bulgarians - an ethnic community of Turkic origin - settled on the territory of the present-day Northeastern Bulgaria. In alliance with the Slavs they formed the Bulgarian State, which was recognised by the Byzantine Empire in 681 AD. Khan Asparouh stood at the head of that state and Pliska was made its capital.

http://depts.washington.edu/hellenic/history.html

Extractions: University of Washington Hellenic Studies Program :: History of the Program "What prompted the professors to pursue such an undertaking?" asked John T. John, a member of Hellenes of the Northwest and a key element in gaining support for the program. "First, they wanted to make sure students were not leaving the university with the impression that Greece was a country that once existed. All they were learning about Greece had to do with her past. Nothing was taught about Modern Greece, even though this relatively small country is a major player in the northeast Mediterranean region. A second reason was to give young Greek-American students the opportunity to learn about their heritage. But the most important reason was the realization that Hellenic Studies is a good thing not just from the Greeks; it is of benefit to anyone searching for a meaningful life. As it did throughout history, Greek culture with its emphasis on democratic, humane, and just values can play an inspirational role for the development of better human beings and a better society." Three basic and overlapping units cooperate to provide for interdisciplinary study of Europe: the Center for Western European Studies; Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies; and European Studies. The first two are title VI programs while the third is funded through the Jackson School of International Studies. Student interest in these interdisciplinary programs is constantly expanding; for example, the number of majors in European Studies doubled in the past year.

Biography - Alexander The Great And His Gay Affairs
No scenes were shot in greece, as the Athens News Agency explains, on theWeb the preeminent website on Alexander the Great in history and culture.
http://www.androphile.org/preview/Library/Biographies/Alexander/Alexander.htm

Extractions: Late Note: As of 12/1/2004, the movie has been made and has been released to lukewarm applause. The film, which Stone has been trying to get on the screen for 15 years, was filmed mainly in Morocco and Thailand. No scenes were shot in Greece, as the Athens News Agency explains, because of government opposition to Stone's portrayal of the Greek hero. Incredibly, these "erotic reality deniers" are providing Mr. Stone free publicity and comic relief: A group of homophobic Greek lawyers is threatening to sue Warner Bros. and the director for implying Alexander the Great was bisexual. The lawyers, trampling their own heroic heritage underfoot, have sent a letter to the studio demanding they include a reference in the title credits saying his movie is a fictional tale. To add to the Keystone Cops atmosphere surrounding this issue, it seems that a couple of years ago a mob of Macedonian Greeks hundreds strong stormed an archeological symposium after a speaker presented a paper on the homosexuality of Alexander. Police were then called in to evacuate the participants.

Writers' columns that originally appeared in the print magazine will now also be published on the Web for National Geographic News. Look for TravelWatch every Friday. It's 3 p.m. on a July day under a hot Aegean sun. If you walk across the searing sand of Schinias Beach, wade into the clear water of the Bay of Marathon, and look back, you'll see sunbathers, beach umbrellas, and behind them a ragged line of tavernas. Rock music from beach bars drifts through the air, along with aromas of grilled lamb and seafood. Beyond the sand stands a hodgepodge of summer cottages that cater to vacationers, many of them from Athens, 26 miles distant. Over to the right, the arc of beach is quieter, backed by a forest of pine trees. Behind it, out of sight, lies an extensive wetland. Nothing hints of the world-altering event that took place here in 490 B.C., when Persian ships landed on this beach. As the invaders headed inland, a phalanx of greatly outnumbered Greeks counter-attacked across the adjoining plain of Marathon. Battle cries and screams filled the air as Greek spears penetrated Persian wicker shields. Athenians swept into the enemy from the rear, sending many disoriented Persian soldiers fleeing to die in the marsh. Retreating through the pines, still more Persians fell to the athletically trained Greeks. Only remnants of the invasion fleet escaped. The Greek messenger Pheidippides, the story goes, ran from Marathon to Athens, 42.2 kilometers (26.2 miles), to report the great victory. Today, Olympic marathoners race a course of precisely 42.2 kilometers (26.2 miles).

Extractions: 4000 Years Greek History and Civilization in Macedonia 4000 Years Greek Tradition of Misappropriation of Bulgarian, Macedonian History and Culture. Greece is Unworthy European Union Member It is Fact that Greece unscrupulously steal Bulgarian and Macedonian Culture and History. The latest event was during the closing ceremonies of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. What you saw was typical Bulgarian Dance Horo and Ruchenitsa presented as a Greek dance. It was not Sirtaki the typical Greek dance where the dancers hold each other on their shoulders! Here some impression from Bulgarian dance you saw on the closing ceremonies: Because this was not the last attempt to usurp Bulgarian and Macedonian Culture and History we will remember of two more attempts and events. Greece has no right to request Macedonia to change the name because Greece occupy 52% of Macedonia in 1912 as a result of violence of the Balkan war, which was inhabited in the last 15 centuries 75% by Bulgarians including Aegean "Greek" Macedonia. Click here to read Macedonian Statistics without Greek falsification . In Green are areas populated by Bulgarians. As you see Bulgarians have more right to keep the name Macedonia than Greece. Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen was angry and insulted from the Greek uncivilized behavior . Denmark (1993) currently holds the rotating presidency of the Community Jensen said: ``Greece has acted unreasonably. I am ashamed of the Greek attitude.'' He said the other 11 members of the Community ``have just about had enough of Greece's obstruction.'' 23 Jan 1993 Reed more here:

He is the Orthodox See's second most senior cleric, deferring only to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Agios Georgios, the Church of Saint George, stands on the ruins of the Fortress of Babylon, the Byzantine garrison around which clustered the earliest beginnings of Cairo. The circular church with its towering dome dominates its site in Coptic Cairo. It is here, and not at his official residence adjacent to Alexandria's Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation, that Theodoros II receives me. He is very much at home in the heart of Coptic Cairo. Extrapolating on the theological differences between the Greek Orthodox and Coptic churches, he notes that the Greek Orthodox Church is Chalcedonian and Melkite in the Byzantine tradition. The Copts, on the other hand are monophysites. The two churches, Greek and Coptic, have survived the ravages of time and gory disagreement. "There are very minor theological differences between the Greek and the Coptic creeds. Differences centre around the nature of Jesus Christ," Theodoros II explains.
