The pageant was held in a grand manner " worthy of the god and his particular excellence. " One individual stood out among the participants: Chrysis, priestess of Athena Polias. For her role in making the occasion one that befitted both Athens and Delphi, the people of Delphi bestowed upon Chry sis the crown of Apollo. The city also voted to grant her, as well as all her descendants, a...

Rising dramatically from the waters off the shores of western Cyprus, the small island of Yeronisos has long enjoyed rich associations with Egypt (Figs 19.1, 19.2). It rests just opposite Cape Drepanum and the site called Agios Georgiostis-Peyias after the church of St. George that stands on the commanding cliffs overlooking the sea. It is a little known fact that the church dedicated here in 1928 was refurbished with funds donated by Cypriots living in Alexandria; and a plaque hanging in the Church commemorates the philanthropy of Mrs Koula Triandaphilou of Alexandria who paid for renovations in 1952. Nearby stands a much smaller and whitewashed chapel of St. George, the foundation of which may date to as early as the Byzantine period (13th–14th century) according to Prof. Charalambos Bakirtzis. There have been many re-buildings and renovations of this church, right to the present day. Its altar is made of two unfi nished column capitals salvaged from Basilica C, one of the three E...

This workshop brings together archaeologists, anthropologists, cultural historians, and scholars of comparative literature, linguistics, and film for a dynamic cross-cultural conversation. Focusing on the mobility and movement of peoples through islands and archipelagos of the Mediterranean and Caribbean, from antiquity to the present, participants seek to identify common ground as well as to define differences. Topics for discussion include the role of literature, arts, and language in the development of regional archipelagic consciousness, the production of spatial identities, transmission and evolution of artistic, religious, utilitarian and other cultural markers, issues of race, power, colonial/colonized relations, and the creation of subalternity as a category. Introducing an archaeological perspective to ongoing scrutiny of the effects of inter-island movement and migration today may bring a new dimension to our understanding of human mobility across the ages, its motivations, influences, perils, benefits, and unforeseen consequences.
