TED Case Studies THE ELGIN MARBLES CASE NUMBER: 445 CASE MNEMONIC: ELGIN CASE NAME: The Elgin Marbles IDENTIFICATION LEGAL CLUSTERS GEOGRAPHIC CLUSTERS TRADE CLUSTERS ... OTHER FACTORS I. Identification 1. The Issue For over 150 years, the marbles of Greece's Parthenon have been situated in the British Museum. Known as the Elgin Marbles, they continue to be the focal pointn of an ongoing debate that will ultimately determine the historical influence of a particularly important culture. 2. Description The Parthenon Marbles constitute a unique case in that they form part of a unique historical monument which for humanity, and international public opinion, symbolizes civilization and democracy, but for the Greek people much more than that. For the Greek people they symbolize our history and the continuity of the Greek nation. (1) (excerpt form "The Elgin Marbles," a presentation by William G. Stewart to The Smithsonian Institution, June 3, 1997) The Athenian statesman Pericles built the Parthenon after the Greek army's final triumph over the Persians at Plataea in 479 B.C. Work on the Parthenon, which honored Athen's patron goddess Athena, began in 447 B.C. and was completed fifteen years later. The monument's decorative sculpture was symbolic of Greece's political and cultural history. The 92 metopes portrayed the victories of Greek gods and heroes over their enemies and thus the victory of civilization over barbarism. The friezes displayed citizens as close to the gods, which to an Athenian of the time signified the glorification of all of Greece's people.

History of Ancient Greece Why should one study the Ancient Greeks? There exist almost countless contributions that Greek culture has made to western society in the areas of art, literature, philosophy, drama, architecture and politics. Lasting visions of thought and inspiring intellect helped shaped today's western culture with notions of democracy and personal freedoms. Greek scientists made revolutionary discoveries in medicine, mathematics, physics, and astronomy. It was the Greeks who, through philosophy, instilled thoughtful exploration of the mind and consciousness. The beauty of their artwork and the precision of their statues reflected human development and expression of individuality. The most important reason to study the Greeks is for the opportunity to take small glimpses of history related to them, and try to better understand our humanity. The early history of Greece is not very detailed. Because of this it is often called the Dark Age of Ancient Greece. The first people to inhabit Greece built settlements along the shores of Greece. They relied on the Aegean Sea for trade and supplies. Travel by sea introduced the Greeks to other cultures, and they were exposed to western benefits of agriculture and various techniques of metalwork. (Archibald, p. 13) Different communities began to develop in Greece: the Aegeans, Achaeans, the and Pelasgians. Crete became the center of the Aegean civilization, also called the Minoans, and their culture dominated the region about 2500 BC. The Achaeans built their capital at Mycenae. A volcanic eruption in 1400 BC caused the destruction of the Minoan Thera, an island east of Crete. The destruction crushed the Minoan functionality and their culture was absorbed by the Mycenaean Greeks (New World, p G254).

Idividi Official MIA Information Agency Other Makedonsko Sonce Forum Ajvar Response to the Pan-Macedonian Press Release by Risto Stefov rstefov@hotmail.com June 2003 I am writing this in response to the May 28, 2003, Pan-Macedonian Association's press release: The Pan-Macedonian Association After Macedonia's annexation and partition in 1912-1913, Greece instituted policies to forcibly assimilate the Macedonian population within its newly acquired territories. Those who could not be assimilated were either executed or expelled from the country. Macedonians who would not comply with Greece's racist policies became political refugees, seeking shelter throughout the world. Most of them emigrated to Europe, Canada, the United States and later to Australia. By sheer force and terror, Greece managed to silence the Macedonians living within its borders. As the Macedonian refugees built up their numbers in the democratic nations of the Diaspora, they built Macedonian churches, formed Macedonian cultural organizations and generally reverted to practicing their Macedonian mother tongue and culture. This complicated Greek assimilation efforts and clashed with Greece's desire to extinguish all things Macedonian.

Research Geography History Chemistry ... Kids Corner The Treasures of an Ancient Sea The Black Sea is steeped in history and culture, a vital trading center linking Europe with Asia. Named Pontus Exinus ("the inhospitable sea"), the Black Sea was navigated and its shores colonized by the Greeks as early as the eighth century before Christ and later by the Romans in the third to first centuries B.C. Hagia Sophia, the "Church of the Holy Wisdom," in Istanbul, was the largest Christian church in the world for 1,000 years. Photo by George Luther. Many of the colonial and commercial activities of ancient Greece and Rome, and of the Byzantine Empire, centered on the Black Sea. After 1453, when the Ottoman Turks occupied Constantinople (and changed its name to Istanbul), the Black Sea was virtually closed to foreign commerce. Nearly 400 years later, in 1856, the Treaty of Paris re-opened the sea to the commerce of all nations. Among its vast historical riches, the Black Sea region is home to the legend of Jason and the Argonauts and their search for the Golden Fleece, and the Biblical account of Noah's Ark. Troy, Constantinople, Istanbul, Sevastopol, Odessa, and Yalta are just a few of the names in this coastal area that have been etched in world history.

One of the great paradoxes of history is that the next hesitant advance of European civilization - the development of the first city-states - took place not on the fertile open central European plains, but in a remote island to the south of the Aegean Sea which was completely lacking in metal resources. While the glittering mounted warrior-princes of central Europe dissipated their creative energy in warefare, a highly cultured yet peaceful society, built on trade and an agricultural surplus, emerged on Crete. The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.

1000 BCE : Greece - The earliest known prehistoric civilizations occupy the Aegean world. This period marks the rise and fall of the MINOAN and MYCENAEAN civilization. 2200 BCE : Greece - Indo-European invaders, speaking the earliest forms of Greek, enter the mainland of Greece, and the MYCENAEAN CIVILIZATION (named after the leading Greek city on the peninsula from 1200 BCE ) emerges. 1500 BCE : Greece - MINOAN CIVILIZATION (named after the Cretan ruler Minos) reaches its height with its central power in Knossos on the island of Crete. This culture is apparently more female-oriented and peaceful than others at the time. 1400 BCE : Greece - MYCENAEAN CIVILIZATION replaces MINOAN CIVILIZATION after the destruction of Knossos. Bronze weapons, war-scenes on art, Cyclopean defence walls, and the fact that male warriors were buried with their weapons provide evidence for the claim that the Mycenaeans were militaristic. The horse-drawn chariot emerges around this time. The Mycenaeans dominate the Aegean world for about 200 years. 1250 BCE : Greece - Though this is disputed, some scholars believe that the

In ancient times in Greece there have been three main civilizations, the Trojan civilization in Troy, the Cretan or Minoan civilization centered on Crete, and the Helladic or Mycenaean civilization of the Greek mainland. Greek's victory against the Persian invaders at the beginning of the 5th century strengthens Athens role as the leader of the Greek world and marks the beginning of an epoch that was called "The Golden Age of Pericles" in which Athens became the cradle of democracy itself. In the following Hellenistic Period Greek civilization has spread and Greek language became official in the eastern Mediterranean. Followed by the Greco-Roman civilization and a long period of foreign occupation through Romans, French, Spanish and the Ottomans, Greece achieved its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1830.

BIRTH OF ZEUS According to mythology, Zeus, the God of gods, was born in Crete. Cronus, his father, trying to avoid his parents' curse that one of his children would take away from him the ruling of the sky, murdered his children one-by-one, by eating them. His wife, Rhea, terrified and chased by her husband, sought refuge in a cave in the ancient "Aegean Mountain", and, with the help of Uranus and Gaia, gave birth to her last child. Cronus was fooled with a rock in dipers and the loud singing and dancing of demons "Kourites", covering the noise of the newborn's cry. Zeus was rased by the Nymphs, drinking milk from goat Amalthia, the later became a star and her skin was Zeus' shield. When Zeus grew up, he defeated Cronus and became the ruler of the sky. The rock that had fooled his father was put in Delfphi, to remind mortals and gods of his glorious power. MINOS' REIGN Minos bewed Pasiphae, the daughter of Sun and nymph Crete and together had eight children, Androgeos, Katreas, Glafkos, Dafkalion, Ariadne, Xenodiki, Akalli and Phaedra. According to mythology, when Minos asked Neptune for a sign that would mean he would become the King of Crete, from the sea emerged a beautiful bull that Minos refused to sacrifice, thus irritating Neptune who punished Minos by making his wife Pasiphae fall in love with the white bull. Pasiphae, with the help of a wooden cow made by Daedalus, was united with the bull and gave birth to Minotaur, who had the body of a human and the head of a bull. According to myth, this creature lived in the Labyrinth, in the palace's underground and was fed with the blood of youngsters. The famous Athenean hero Theseus defeated Minotaur and releaved Athens from the harsh "blood tax" that paid to this supernatural creature.

But it's not land the Greeks want the British to give up, it's art. Basically, the Greeks are campaigning for the return of numerous works of ancient art - referred to as the Parthenon Marbles - taken to London by a Britain named Lord Elgin in the early 1800s. The skillfully-crafted marbles once adorned a great temple - called the Parthenon - honoring the city-state's patron goddess, Athena. Now, the Athenians want them back more urgently than ever. In 2004, Athens will be hosting the Olympics, and it wants to showcase its ancient history in the new museum as well as highlight the missing marble statues and friezes (pronounced "freezes"). Government and museum officials hope that this will put global pressure on the British to return the artworks to the place they were created. However, locals have hit a snag while digging at the future museum site: archeologists have discovered that the area is packed with building foundations and houses that were built between the 2nd and 7th centuries. The discovery is a big deal, because architecture and other artifacts from this time period in Athens are rare. Destroying this site for building the new museum, many say, would contradict the goal of preserving the city's ancient history. Basically, they argue, trading the preservation of one group of ancient, cultural artifacts for another may not be the best choice.

Window Printer Version "The Jews of Thessaloniki, 1912-1941" by Dan Georgakas Dan Georgakas The Jews of Thessaloniki The story of the Jews of Thessaloniki is one of the most complex in the history of Jews in Europe . Some recent commentary on the topic has had the tendency to understate the unique nature of that story and to shape that history along lines found elsewhere in Europe . Essential to any discussion of this population is to note the dramatic shift in the nature of the community in the 1490s. Jews had settled in Thessaloniki almost immediately after its founding and by the time of the infancy of Christianity, a thriving community attracted the attention of the apostles, most notably Paul. That Jewish community was what we now term as Romaniote. Its history was tied to Graeco-Roman culture and would be part of the Byzantine continuum. These Jews spoke Greek and Hebrew. After the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453, when the Sultanate offered sanctuary to Jews suffering from the Inquisitions in Spain Portugal , and later Italy , tens of thousands of Jews who responded were relocated to Thessaloniki where they quickly set the Jewish cultural agenda.

79. Macedonians In Greece On the other hand, the Greek government would not allow anybody, Macedonia,Its People and history. The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1982. http://faq.macedonia.org/history/12.1.2.html

Macedonians In Greece The Macedonian-Greek conflict is a very complex issue. Lots of books have been written about Macedonia, but many of them simply serve to justify the aspirations, propaganda, and the partition of Macedonia of 1913, by the neighboring countries such as Greece. These sources are, therefore, biased. The Greek pages about Macedonia, rely strictly on their very own Greek propaganda sources, which naturally makes them biased. In order to find the real truth about Macedonia, one has to rely on the independent and neutral sources when looking into history. This page is such case, which browses historical independent and neutral facts, to show the truth about Macedonia against the century-old Greek propaganda. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION MACEDONIA IN THE XX CENTURY Biased Balkan Statistics on the Population of Macedonia Neutral Statistics on the Population of Macedonia ... BIBLIOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION "The Macedonian minority in Greece does not exist", "the Macedonian nation does not exist at all", - are the claims of the official Greek government. The following will prove the total apsurdity of these claims, in the eyes of the history. MACEDONIA IN THE XX CENTURY Biased Balkan Statistics on the Population of Macedonia In 1870's, while Macedonia was still under the Turkish Empire, the new independent Balkan states started to propagate how the Macedonians do not exist, and how Macedonia was populated only by Greeks, Bulgarians, and Serbs. This is the beginning of the so-called "Macedonian Question". Ethnographers, historians, and writers begun writing books in favor of this or that propaganda. Many of them did not even visit Macedonia, while those who did already had a written scenario. Their presence there was only a simple formality. Table 1 gives an excellent proof of those Balkan speculations surrounding Macedonia:
