105. Stolen Antiquities From Corinth Returned To Greece The Hellenic Ministry of Culture rejoices in the recovery of the priceless collection of artifacts stolen from the Archaeological Museum of ancient Corinth in 1990. Illustrated catalogue. http://www.culture.gr/2/21/211/21104m/e211dm07.html

Stolen Antiquities from Corinth returned to Greece T he night of April 12th, 1990, the Museum of Corinth was attacked by a gang of four smugglers who first wounded the guard, Mr Theophanis Kakouris, and removed the amount of one million drachmas, amount which was in the museum at the time for the payroll of employees. Afterwards, they entered from the roof of the museum into the atrium, breaking the interior atrium doors as well as the museum doors and plundered the two rooms with the Greco-Roman exhibits. T he perpetrators stole 285 objects of immense archaeological value, and this theft is considered one of the largest, if not the largest theft of antiquities from a Greek museum. The stolen pieces are irreplaceable. They are valuable evidence of the historical sequence of the ancient city and were found during the excavations conducted since 1866 by the American School of Classical Studies. Their loss is actually the loss of a part of their city's history. Some of the stolen items are characteristic works of Corinthian art. I n detail, 164 vases were removed -exquisite samples of the Corinthian and Attic workshops-, a marvelous kouros head of the 5th century BC, 13 portraits of the Hellenistic and Roman periods, a small statue of Pan, 5 unique terracotta heads dated in the 6th-5th century BC, 49 terracotta figurines, 11 glass vessels, 2 small bronze statues, terracotta oil lamps and few other artifacts of a lesser value. Most of these (271) were published with full description and photographs in Interpol's special edition *INFAR* (issue 11-6, special edition, June 1990) so as to be searched for internationally.

Ancient Greece: Science Technology Arts and other interesting st ories Michael Lahanas Part 1: Science and Technology Griechenland: Wissenschaft,Technologie Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous. There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few writers of antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages could slowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and ignorance that had darkened life for more than half a millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist's snobbishness.

109. Ancient Greek Skepticism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] A description of skepticism in ancient greece, led by Pyrrho. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/s/skepanci.htm

Ancient Greek Skepticism Although all skeptics in some way cast doubt on our ability to gain knowledge of the world, the term 'skeptic' actually covers a wide range of attitudes and positions. There are skeptical elements in the views of many Greek philosophers, but the term 'ancient skeptic' is generally applied either to a member of Plato's Academy during its skeptical period (c. 273 B.C.E to 1st century B.C.E.) or to a follower of Pyrrho (c. 365 to 270 B.C.E.). Pyrrhonian skepticism flourished from Aenesidemus' revival (1st century B.C.E.) to Sextus Empiricus, who lived sometime in the 2nd or 3rd centuries C.E. Thus the two main varieties of ancient skepticism: Academic and Pyrrhonian. The term 'skeptic' derives from a Greek noun, skepsis, which means examination, inquiry, consideration. What leads most skeptics to begin to examine and then eventually to be at a loss as to what one should believe, if anything, is the fact of widespread and seemingly endless disagreement regarding issues of fundamental importance. Many of the arguments of the ancient skeptics were developed in response to the positive views of their contemporaries, especially the Stoics and Epicureans,

History ) grew in importance. There was little or no independent political life, but there was in general freedom of thought and religion. The centers of life were no longer assemblies and councils, but gymnasia (schools) and shrines of the mystery cults. Justinian in 529 A.D. Epicureanism ataraxia , or peace of mind. For Epicurus the aim of life was pleasure; the highest pleasure was absence of pain; pleasure of the mind was preferable to that of the body. The soul dies with the body, so we must not fear death or afterlife; the gods exist but do not concern themselves with humanity or natural phenomena (all of which can be explained scientifically); we should avoid public life and emotional commitments in order to escape the pains likely to be caused by them. The physical world was explained by the atomic theory adapted from Democritus. Stoicism Stoicism . After the death of Zeno of Citium, the Stoic school was headed by Cleanthes and Chrysippus, and its teachings were carried to Rome in 155 by Diogenes of Babylon. There its tenets were made popular by Panaetius, friend of the great general Scipio Aemilianus, and by Posidonius, who was a friend of Pompey (see your textbook if you don't recognize these names); Cicero drew heavily on the works of both.

113. Greek Dramatic Criticism An overview of dramatic criticism in ancient greece. http://www.theatredatabase.com/ancient/greek_dramatic_criticism_001.html

Home Ancient Theatre Medieval Theatre 16th Century ... Email Us GREEK DRAMATIC CRITICISM W ITH the exception of the more or less fragmentary Poetics of Aristotle there is very little in Greek literature touching upon the subject of dramatic theory. What we possess are (1) quotations from Greek writers like Theophrastus (in the Ars Grammatica of Diomedes), and from Greek dramatists (in The Deipnosophists Aristophanes ; and (3) works or fragments of a more general character, of such writers as Plato and Dionysus of Halicarnassus; and (4) the Scholia, or commentaries on the dramatists. Of dramatic criticism proper there is nothing either in Plato or Aristophanes; Plato's and other dialogues contain a good deal on the subject of poetry, and much on dramatic poetry, but, as might be expected, the philosopher is concerned rather with the moral and philosophic than the purely literary and dramatic aspects. Aristophanes' Frogs in particular is full of dramatic criticism of an indirect kind, but it is neither so objective nor so organized as to entitle it to serious consideration as a distinct theory of the drama. It is only by inference that the student may form any definite idea of Aristophanes' aesthetic ideals. In M. Egger's indispensable

114. People With A History: Paul Halsall: Homosexual Eros In Early Greece (1986) Graduate paper by Paul Halsall on the topic of male love in ancient greece. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/pwh/greekeros.html

Back to People With a History Paul Halsall: Homosexual Eros in Early Greece (1986) This paper was written as a course essay in 1986. It does not purport to be anything other than an (early) graduate student paper. © Paul Halsall Love, and sex, between men is not a rare thing. Anthropologically a majority of societies [1] accept what we now call homosexuality, especially where one partner plays a totally feminine role. What is special about Greek homosexuality is its apparent prevalence, the appreciation of aspects of masculinity in the other partner and the almost total damnatio memoriae suffered by the phenomenon until recent decades. Modern academic orthodoxy on same sex relationships in early Greece is now based on the work of K J Dover. Only published in 1978 Greek Homosexuality has become standard rapidly displacing attitudes which either ignored the phenomenon or glorified it as an example of early gay liberation. It has been supplemented in depth and scope by the exhaustive inquiries of Felix Buffiere in his Eros Adolescent , which unfortunately suffers from Buffiere's determination to prove that pederasty and homosexuality are totally different. The danger now is that Dover's work as being oversimplified to the point of distortion by authors such as Oswyn Murray [2]. In this paper I intend to look at the sources available and the way in which they can be misleading. I shall then look at various aspects of Greek homosexuality and at how too easy simplifications can distort our appreciation of its geographical and chronological extent, its level of social acceptance and its distribution amongst different classes and age groups.

The Greeks developed a style that incorporated an idealized yet realistic approach to the representation of the figure. Greek artists moved toward an expression based on observation of living beings and refinement of anatomical elements. Gods and goddesses were imagined in human form but ideal in proportion, without imperfections. The unclothed human figure in its most perfect manifestation was admired for its harmonious beauty. The archetypical proportions of the human body were the measure and standard of beauty for all things. Torso of Apollo Panathenaic Prize Amphora Torso of Aphrodite Venus Genetrix The ancient Greeks lived in a world filled with divine and semi-divine beings. Their religious beliefs and folk traditions were expressed in human terms with gods and goddesses, demi-gods, and heroes often conquering animals and mythical beasts. Even such an abstract idea as poetic inspiration was given human form. Representations of all these beings are found in Greek art: in temples or in public spaces, on everyday objects of bronze, ceramic, and precious materials. Concepts which today are considered exclusively religious were an integral part of daily existence.
