This fully illustrated study examines the German, Italian and Bulgarian occupation forces in Greece during 1941â “44 as well as those of the two Greek Resistance organizations. Italyâ ™s failed invasion of Greece in 1940â “41 led to the German invasion of Yugoslavia in spring 1941 being extended into Greece, and, after the fall of Athens and Crete in April and May, the division of the country under German, Italian and Bulgarian occupation. The royal government and Army survivors withdrew to British-ruled Egypt, but at home resistance organizations of differing political character soon sprang up, forming guerrilla forces that exploited Greeceâ ™s rugged terrain and limited communications. The strongest resistance force was the Communist-dominated National Liberation Front (EAM) with its partisan Greek Popular Army (ELAS). Agents of the Western Allied powers had only brief success in mediating cooperation between the mutually hostile EAM/ELAS, and the National Republican Greek League (EDES) with its EOEA. Foreshadowing the Greek Civil War that would follow liberation, ELAS and EOEA clashed, in the background to their separate operations against the Axis occupiers.Drawing upon a wide range of sources, Phoebus Athanassiou charts the development of the fighting in occupied Greece: a struggle as ferocious as that fought in neighbouring Yugoslavia, which cost both the resistance and the Axis forces some 15,000 men killed.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE 2020 AND THE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2021A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR The best history of Greece around... Beautifully written and packed with insights about the culture and the people. I will be dipping into this book for the rest of my life Victoria HislopWe think we know ancient Greece, the civilisation that shares the same name and gave us just about everything that defines western culture today, in the arts, sciences, social sciences and politics. Yet, as Greece has been brought under repeated scrutiny during the financial crises that have convulsed the country since 2010, worldwide coverage has revealed just how poorly we grasp the modern nation. This book sets out to understand the modern Greeks on their own terms.How did Greece come to be so powerfully attached to the legacy of the ancients in the first place, and then define an identity for themselves that is at once Greek and modern? This book reveals the remarkable achievement, during the last 300 years, of building a modern nation on, sometimes literally, the ruins of a vanished civilisation. This is the story of the Greek nation-state but also, and perhaps more fundamentally, of the collective identity that goes with it. It is not only a history of events and high politics, it is also a history of culture, of the arts, of people and of ideas.

This in-depth yet student-friendly introduction to Koine Greek provides a full grounding in Greek grammar, while starting to build skill in the use of exegetical tools. The approach, informed by twenty-five years of classroom teaching, emphasizes reading Greek for comprehension as opposed to merely translating it. The workbook is integrated into the textbook, with exercises appearing within each chapter rather than pushed to the end or located in a separate book. This enables students to practice concepts as they encounter them in the chapter--ideal for distance learning or studying beyond the traditional classroom. The book covers not only New Testament Greek but also the wider range of Bible-related Greek (LXX and other Koine texts). It introduces students to reference tools for biblical Greek, includes tips on learning, and is supplemented by robust web-based resources through Baker Academic s Textbook eSources. Resources for students include flash cards and audio files. Resources for professors include a test bank and an instructor s manual.

The Greek myths are timeless classics, whose scenes and figures have captivated us since ancient times. The gods and heroes of these legends hold up a mirror to the human condition, embodying universal characteristics and truths â “ whether it be the courage of Perseus, the greed of Midas, the vaulting ambition of Icarus, the vengeance of Medea, or the hubris of Niobe. These traits are the basis for immortal dramas and rich narratives, as profound as they are entertaining, which form the bedrock of our culture and literature today and remain relevant and fascinating for all readers, young and old alike. This edition contains 47 tales based on the most famous episodes in Greek mythology, from Prometheus, the Argonauts, and Theseus to the Trojan War and Homerâ ™s Odyssey. The individual texts are selected from the seminal work Sagen des klassischen Altertums (Gods and Heroes: Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece) by Gustav Schwab (1792â “1850), and strikingly illustrated by 29 artists, among them outstanding representatives of the Golden Age of Book Illustration and the Arts and Crafts Movement, including Walter Crane (1845â “1915), Arthur Rackham (1867â “1939), William Russell Flint (1880â “1969), and Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900â “1930). These illustrations are complemented by scene-setting vignettes for each story and a genealogical tree of Greek gods and goddesses by Clifford Harper, commissioned especially for this volume. Placing the tales in context, the book contains a historical introduction by Dr. Michael Siebler and is rounded off with biographies of all featured artists as well as an extensive glossary of ancient Greeceâ ™s most famous protagonists. The heroism, tragedy, and theater of Greek mythology glimmer through each tale in this lavishly illustrated edition, awakening the gods and heroes to new life.

The four centuries between the composition of the Homeric epics and the conquests of Alexander the Great witnessed an immensely creative period in Greek art, one full of experimentation and innovation. But time has taken its toll; damaged statues have lost their colour and wall paintings have been totally destroyed. And yet sympathetic study of surviving sculpture and of drawing on vases can give extraordinary insight into and appreciation of these once brilliant works This book, designed originally for students, introduces the reader to Greek sculpture and vase painting in the critical period from the eighth to the fourth centuries BC. The works discussed are generously illustrated and lucidly analysed to give a vivid picture of the splendor of Greek art. The up-dated second edition includes a new chapter examining art in Greek society, a timeline to help relate artistic development to historical events, an explanation of how dates BC are arrived at, a brief overview of Greek temple plans and a further reading list of recent books.This clear, approachable and rigorous introduction makes the beauty of Greek art more readily accessible and comprehensible, balancing description with interpretation and illustration, and is an invaluable tool to help develop insight, appreciation and comprehension.

The book Douris and the Painters of Greek Vases by Edmond Pottier examines the creations of Douris, a well-known vase painter from Athens, and his contemporaries. The history of ancient Greek pottery and vase painting is briefly discussed at the beginning of the book. Then it concentrates on Douris, who was an Athens resident and worker in the latter half of the 5th century BCE. Pottier gives a history of Douris and talks about his aesthetic vision and vase painting advances. Additionally, the author looks at the vase paintings of other well-known artists of the era, including Euphronios, Brygos, and Onesimos. He evaluates them, compares them to Douris work, and discusses their topics, tactics, and styles. Pottier offers various examples of ancient Greek vases and their ornamentation throughout the book, along with thorough descriptions and analysis. He also discusses the mythical, cultural, and political themes shown on the vases as they relate to historical events. With an emphasis on the works of Douris and his contemporaries, Douris and the Painters of Greek Vases is a thorough examination of ancient Greek vase painting. For experts and admirers of ancient Greek art and culture, it is a useful tool.

This thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt s Northern Greece guidebook, written by Greece expert and long-time travel writer Dana Facaros, remains the only guide available to a region that includes Épirus, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace - complete with their five dramatically beautiful national parks, the country s highest peaks, mountain lakes, rushing rivers, the world s deepest gorge and (this is Greece, after all) long sandy beaches. Northern Greece is an up-and-coming, year-round destination that provides the more natural, authentic experience that many travellers seek from this increasingly popular country. Thessaloníki, the country s vibrant second city, is packed with ancient and Byzantine monuments. Three-pronged Chalkidikí has two peninsulas lined with hedonistic beaches and resorts, while the third comprises silent, holy Mount Athos. Central Macedonia is Alexander the Great country, offering ample archaeological sites, Mount Olympus and Greece s top vineyards. The handsome port city of Kavála lies near the beach-fringed island of Thássos and ancient Philippi, visited by St Paul. To the east, multi-ethnic Thrace has traditional towns, spectacular birdwatching and the island of ancient mysteries, Samothráki. Western Macedonia, meanwhile, is full of surprises: charming small cities nobody has heard of, such as Édessa, Véria, Kastoriá and Flórina, which neighbours the haunting Prespa lakes. Further west, northern Épirus is home to the breathtaking Víkos Gorge and the Zagorachória s enchanting stone villages. Beaches dot the coast, if you can drag yourself away from ancient Roman Nikopolis, Dodona or the Necromanteion, where the living consulted the dead. Fringing Thessaly s great agricultural plain are the Metéora s pinnacle-topped monasteries and beautiful Lake Plastíra. In Magnesía, Vólos provides the gateway to the Pélion Peninsula and the islands of Skiáthos, Skópelos and Alónissos. This new edition of Bradt s Northern Greece serves as an ideal travelling companion for visitors of all ages, budgets and interests, from culture lovers to wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs to archaeologists, foodies to wine connoisseurs, mountain climbers to sea kayakers - not to mention those who simply want to relax on a sandy beach before dancing the night away.
