Extractions: Dance has played an important role in the life of Greeks all through their history. In the ancient Greek societies, dance was held in high regard. In fact, in his writings, Plato expresses his belief in the virtue of dancing, by saying that a man who can not dance is uneducated and unrefined. In the Byzantine times, despite the church guidelines, people were dancing in personal or public feasts. During the Turkish occupation, they continued to dance and they also created and passed down to us new dances praising the heroism of the fighters and their desire for independence and freedom, such as the dance of Zaloggos. In Greece, today, traditional dances are still passed from generation to generation because people enjoy doing them and include them in their celebrations. There are some dances that are considered panhellenic, such as Kalamatianos and Tsamikos, and are known among all Greek communities in Greece and abroad. In addition, each region has preserved its own dances which are done in local feasts. Some of these not widely known local dances are at risk to become forgotten, but fortunately, there are systematic efforts of local organizations to encourage older people to pass their talent and knowledge to the youngsters. There is an abundance of references to dancing at different times of the Greek history. These references are found mostly in texts or various representations on pottery, sculptures, church murals, etc. However, this information is disjoint. And although, researchers believe that there is enough knowledge on dancing at different times, the question of the continuity in dancing - as in all aspects of our everyday life - is an open subject. Many researchers believe that the traditional dances of today are the same ones that Homer describes in his epic poems and are painted on church murals of the Byzantine times among saints and angels.

Extractions: Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl; of Elgin, British Ambassador to the Sublime Porte of Constantinople (Istanbul) the seat of the Ottoman Empire at the turn of the 19th century, having stripped down the monuments of the Acropolis from 1801 - 1804 brought back to London one whole caryatid from the Erechtheion, huge pedimental figures, friezes, metopes and parts of columns from the Parthenon and other pieces representing over half of all the surviving sculptures from the monuments. ' Elgin Marbles' are legally and properly held by it. Scholars have now seriously disputed this claim in the light of recent research and findings especially concerning the validity of the so-called firman. Hacking the Parthenon over and over In the year 1799, the 7th Earl of Elgin, was appointed Ambassador at the Sublime Porte of Constantinople in Ottoman Turkey, 'not without lobbying on his own part'. Elgin had been engaged for some years building a grand country house, to be called Broomhall. The architect was Thomas Harrison, a fine architect in the Greek style and passionate admirer of Greek classical architecture, who strongly encouraged Elgin to arrange for drawings to be made of the Greek antiquities in Athens and especially "… to bring back plaster casts in the round of the actual surviving objects. There was no suggestion at that time that the original remains themselves should be removed." Athens at the turn of the 19th century and after three and a half centuries of Ottoman occupation was a village of 1300 souls, clustered around the Acropolis. The population did not exceed some ten thousand of whom half were Orthodox Greeks and the rest Muslim Turks (who all spoke mainly or even only Greek), Albanians (half of them Muslim and half Christian Orthodox) with a sprinkling of African Muslims, Jews, Roman Catholics and a handful of western European families.

From smoggy Athens to blindingly bright islands, ancient fragments abound - the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete and even, quite possibly, the remnants of Atlantis at Santorini.
