For more than one thousand years, people from every corner of the Greco-Roman world sought the hope for a blessed afterlife through initiation into the Mysteries of Demeter and Kore at Eleusis.

How does intentionally inflicting damage to material objects mediate the human experience in the prehistoric eastern Mediterranean? For all of the diversity in cultural practice in the civilisations of the Greek mainland and Aegean islands, Crete, Cyprus and the eastern coast of Italy between 4000-750 BC, archaeologists consider the custom of ritually killing objects as a normative, if inconsistent practice.
Η παρούσα μελέτη είναι μια απόπειρα για την ανασύνθεση της εικόνας της μυκηναϊκής Αρκαδίας με βάση τα αρχαιολογικά και τοπογραφικά δεδομένα, τέσσερις και πλέον δεκαετίες μετά τη συστηματική έρευνα τον R. Howell (BSA 1970) στον ίδιο χώρο.
This volume brings together a number of papers that were presented at the international symposium on Pots, Workshops and Early Iron Age Society. Function and Role of Ceramics in Early Greece organised by the University of Athens (UoA) and the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), and held at the Université libre de Bruxelles in November 2013.
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference “Mycenaeans up to date: The archaeology of the north-eastern Peloponnese—current concepts and new directions”, which was held on 10–16 November 2010, under the auspices of the Swedish Institute at Athens.
Το παρόν βιβλίο είναι το αποτέλεσμα δύο διαφορετικών ανασκαφών που έγιναν με διαφορά ενός αιώνα, κάθε μία με τα δικά τηs χαρακτηριστικά, μεθόδους και πρακτικές. Η πρώτη ανασκαφή έγινε την περίοδο 1902-1914 από τον Ιταλό αρχαιολόγο Federico Halbherr στην περιοχή του οικισμού της Αγίας Tριάδας η οποία ονομάστηκε “Villaggio”.
Thanks to the biography by Joan Evans, sister of Arthur Evans, the research of John J. Wilkes and the new biography by Silvia L. Horwitz, we know much about Arthur Evans’s work in the Balkans prior to his discoveries on Crete.

During the recent decades many new Mycenaean wall paintings have been brought to light and older finds have been restored and reconstructed afresh in light of newly found joining fragments. These paintings derive both from palatial and non-palatial contexts, from major centers on the mainland (including Mycenae, Tiryns, Argos, Pylos, Thebes, Orchomenos, and Gla) and from recently excavated sites, such as Iklaina in Messenia. However, in contrast to the corpora of Minoan and Cycladic wall paintings, Mycenaean paintings have survived in poor physical condition. For the most part, they are highly fragmentary and lack iconographic and contextual coherence.

The Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean belongs to the most captivating chapters in the history of the Ancient World: Various cuneiform documents and archaeological sources illustrate the numerous contacts between different polities in the 2nd millennium BCE.
The investigation of the great Attic Sanctuary of Demeter at Eleusis began as soon as loannis Kapodistrias took office as governor of the newly founded Greek state.
The goal of this book is to trace the development of elite Minoan architectural forms that arose during the late Protopalatial (Middle Minoan II) and early Neopalatial periods (Middle Minoan III). The study of this architectual development concentrates on the older, larger sites of Knossos, Malia, and Phaistos where those very forms seem to have originated. Other Minoan towns and palaces in Crete are referenced when appropriate.
