This online publication is part from an article first published in 2004. The article examines the interplay between archaeology and dictatorship in the context of the Greek experience. The online publication focuses on the period of fascism in Greece during the years 1936-1941; it also refers to the archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos, his relations with the government of Metaxa, and in particular his rivalry with Christos Karouzos and Yiannis Miliades.
