SUMMARY:Takis Mavrotas\, "Theofilos: 'The Evzone of Painting'"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, co-sponsored by the Embassy of Greece\, will be introduced by Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States \nThe acclaimed folk artist Theophilos represents the tradition of Greece and its people. Born in ca. 1870 in a village close to Mytilene\, his father was a cobbler while his mother\, Penelope Hatzimihail\, was the daughter of an icon painter. In 1897\, he settled in the town of Volos on the Greek mainland\, and worked as a freelance painter\, creating murals in inns\, houses\, and shops in various villages in the area. His paintings fall into two categories: those inspired by life and those inspired by Greek mythology\, history\, and religion. His work was fundamental to the Generation of the 1930s\, whose artists viewed his paintings as the essence of Greekness. This year\, the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation in Athens has organized a large retrospective\, including loans from the Municipality of Mytilene and the Theophilos Museum. The ninety-four exhibited works manifest the artist’s spirit and soul\, his inner truth that always served and respected the nation’s needs – a nation that has lived both glorious as well as tragic moments. Our event begins with greetings from the Foundation’s General Manager\, Dr. Fotis Papathanasiou\, and its Board Advisor and Contemporary Curator Marina Miliou Theocharakis\, who will both make a short presentation about the Foundation. Exhibition curator Takis Mavrotas will lecture about the painter and his work. Finally\, Evangelia Efthimiadou (Exhibitions Project Manager) and Irene Alexandrakis (Education Manager) will take us on a virtual tour of this important exhibition. \nTakis Mavrotas is Director of Visual Arts at the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation. He has curated numerous individual and group exhibitions\, including: “Views of Magna Grecia” by Enzo Crea (National Bank of Greece Educational Foundation\, Athens\, 1987); “Takis-Chryssa” (European Cultural Centre of Delphi\, 2000); “Pillars and Columns” (European Cultural Centre of Delphi\, 2005); “The Cyclades through the Lens of 20 Contemporary Artists” (Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art\, Athens\, 2005); “Giorgio de Chirico and Greece: A Journey through Memory” (Athinais Cultural Center\, Athens/Onassis Foundation\, New York\, 2007); “A Forest of Sculptures—The Simon Spierer Collection from the Darmstadt State Museum” (Athinais Cultural Center\, Athens\, 2008); “35 visual artists stand for Democracy” (Zappeion\, Athens\, 2009); “Leonardo Cremonini” (Athinais Cultural Center\, Athens\, 2010); “C. P. Cavafy: Pictured. 40 Contemporary Greek Artists” (Theocharakis Foundation\, Athens\, 2013); “Dimitris Mytaras: Painting” (European Parliament\, Brussels\, 2014); “Picasso-Cocteau: Pioneers of Modernism (Theocharakis Foundation Athens\, 2015); “Odysseas Elytis: Poetry and Painting” (Telogleion Arts Foundation\, Thessaloniki\, 2016); and “George Seferis: When the light dances\, I speak fairly” (Telogleion Arts Foundation\, Thessaloniki\, 2019). He has published books\, catalogues\, and has written numerous articles and reviews on the visual arts. \nThis lecture is also co-sponsored by the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Fraser University. \nTo sign up for the lecture\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:Dinos Kogias\, "Souvenir of Kütahya: Imprints of History on Kütahya Pottery (late 19th-early 20th century)"
DESCRIPTION:The decorative repertoire of the pottery produced in Kütahya\, a town in western Turkey and a major ceramic center in Ottoman times\, has been influenced by events of modern history\, such as the Balkan Wars\, the Ottoman Constitution of 1908\, and the Greek-Turkish War (1919-1922). Τhe purpose of this lecture is to contribute to our knowledge and understanding of Kütahya pottery from the end of the nineteenth century through the first decades of the twentieth while presenting certain little-known aspects of this production\, particularly during the fifteen-month period of the town’s occupation by the Greek armed forces from July 1921 to August 1922. During this period\, the production of pottery\, which had been interrupted because of the war\, resumed and a large number of items ended up in Greece\, mainly brought back by Greek soldiers. Many of these ceramics bear Greek commemorative inscriptions\, as ‘souvenirs of Kütahya\,’ with the initials or even full names of their first owners\, and accordingly serve as important historical evidence of specific social and cultural referents. \nDinos Kogias was born in 1964 in Karlovasi\, Samos. He lives and works as a lawyer in Athens. He collects\, researches and writes about modern Greek\, Ottoman and Balkan ceramics. He is a founding member of DIKTIO\, a Southeast European ceramics research group\, and regularly participates in related international symposia. He has published two books on his home island of Samos [Samos 1862- 1920: Photos and Postcards and The tram at Karlovasi\, Samos (1905-1939)] and one on the pottery of Kütahya\, published by the Benaki Museum: SOUVENIR OF KÜTAHYA: Imprints of History on Kütahya’s Pottery (late 19th – early 20th century). Another study of Samian pottery of the 19th and 20th centuries is forthcoming. \nRSVP here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mara Verykokou\, "1821: The Collectors' Choice.' An Exhibition Commemorating the Greek War of Independence from an Original Viewpoint."
DESCRIPTION:Benaki Museum curator Mara Verykokou guides us through an exhibition that includes more than 300 objects related to the Revolution of 1821 and the movement of Philhellenism in Europe and America from four important private collections: Nikitas Stavrinakis and Evangelias Stavrinaki\, Petros Vergos\, Apostolos Argyriadis and Stéphan Adler. We shall be asked to decide whether the illustration of the Revolution in the daily life of the West was simply a fashion of the time or something deeper\, which expressed the support for the struggle of the Greeks for freedom. \nMara Verykokou joined the Benaki Museum in 2003 as assistant curator of the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Collection and she is currently its acting head. She obtained her MA in History of Art from the University of Aberdeen and her MA in Museum Studies from University College London. She is a Ph.D. candidate at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens\, School of History and Archaeology\, with the thesis subject ‘Exhibition policy and communication in the Benaki Museum from the 1970s to the present (1970-2015) in the context of periodic exhibitions.’ Verykokou has been involved as a member of the research team in various exhibition projects\, including “Heaven and Earth; Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections” (National Gallery of Washington 2013-14\, J. Paul Getty Museum\, Los Angeles 2014\, Art Institute of Chicago 2014-15) and participated in the coordination of “Russian Religious Art from Russia to Greece” (Benaki Museum 2017-18). Her current research focuses on the Benaki Museum’s collection of late antique and medieval medical instruments. \nTo attend the event by Zoom\, RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Maureen Connors Santelli\, Associate Professor of History\, Northern Virginia Community College | "The Grassroots Mobilization of American Philhellenism"
DESCRIPTION:Popular support for the Greek Revolution in the United States garnered national attention at a level unparalleled to any other international event in the early 19th century. Early Americans supported the Greek cause because they felt a strong\, sympathetic tie with the ancient Greeks and because they had a long-standing distrust for the Muslim World. American philhellenes believed the Greek Revolution would be successful if the Greeks followed  the United States’ example  regarding the course  of  the revolution and the type of government they should eventually establish. Although they were not interested in nation-building in the modern sense\, American philhellenes did imagine they were engaging in a civic duty by aiding the Greeks to create a free nation in the image of the United States. At a time when politics and slavery had begun to pull the North and South apart\, support for the Greek Revolution brought Americans from all classes and regions together in one of the first humanitarian efforts in the early United States. \nThe HUC@UCLA lecture is co-sponsored by the Embassy of Greece in USA. Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States\, will provide opening remarks. \nMaureen Santelli attended the University of Montana in Missoula\, where she earned undergraduate degrees in History and Classics. Santelli’s combined interests in ancient Greece\, Rome\, and early American history inspired her research as a graduate student at George Mason University\, where she completed her Master’s and Ph.D. Santelli has completed fellowships at George Washington’s Mount Vernon\, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania\, and the Library Company of Philadelphia. Currently\, she is an associate professor at Northern Virginia Community College where she teaches United States\, western civilization\, and world history courses. She has published an article with Early American Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal\, “Depart from that Retired Circle:” Women’s Support of the Greek War for Independence and Antebellum Reform. Her recent book\, The Greek Fire: American-Ottoman Relations and Democratic Fervor in the Age of Revolutions\, examines the rise of philhellenism in the United States and how the movement influenced both foreign and domestic policies during the early American republic. \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Stavros Vlizos\, Associate Professor\, Ionian University\, and Vicky Vlachou\, École française d’Athènes | “New Evidence on a Spartan Religious Center: The Sanctuary of Apollo Amyklaios at Sparta and the Current Research Project”
DESCRIPTION:The Sanctuary of Apollon at Amyklai (Sparta) was inextricably associated in antiquity with the celebrated festival of the Hyakinthia. Ancient literary sources describe salient aspects of the festival and the cult that was centered around the tomb of the hero Hyakinthos and the altar of Apollo in two succeeding stages that never overlapped each other. Material evidence from the sanctuary area demonstrates the early beginnings of the cult and ritual\, already since the mid-10th century BC. By the late 8th to early 7th century BC\, the formal delimitation of the sanctuary area\, the quantity and quality of the material deposits support the importance of the sanctuary and its festival within the formal institutions of the Spartan polis. It can be argued that the importance of the sanctuary may be related with the seniority of the shrine and the continuity of the ritual activities in this area over the centuries. The lecture shall focus on shifts in use and function of material culture that are parallel to transformations and changes of the social\, political\, and religious landscape of Sparta. Furthermore\, the connection of the cult site to neighboring areas in proximity\, further away\, and parallel trajectory to the rest of the Spartan sanctuaries shall be discussed. \nThe event is co-sponsored by the UCLA SNF Hellenic Center\, UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\, Archaeological Institute of America–Los Angeles County Society\, and Pan-Laconian Federation of United States and Canada. \nAfter completing his studies at the University of Ioannina and the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich (Dr.Phil.)\, Stavros Vlizos first worked as a contract archaeologist at the Ministry of Culture (1997-2001) and then as a researcher and scientific associate at the Benaki Museum (2002-2013). As an Associate Professor\, he teaches a wide range of courses in Museology and Archaeology in the Department of Archives\, Library Studies and Museology at Ionian University. He is director of the Amykles Research Project\, associate of the Athens Archaeological Society\, corresponding member of the German Archaeological  Institute\, and co-founder  of  the  Athens  “Roman Seminar.”  His research interests and publications refer to issues of promotion and management of cultural heritage and archaeological goods\, as well as topics highlighting the material culture of Ancient and Roman Greece and the importance of ancient sanctuaries diachronically. \nVicky Vlachou studied History\, Archaeology and History of Art at the University of Athens. She is currently a scientific member (Belgian) at the École française d’Athènes (EfA\, membre). She is a scholar of the Early Iron Age Aegean (ca. 1000-600 BC). Her doctoral thesis (2010) was awarded the G.P. Oikonomos prize of the Class of Letters and Fine Arts of the Academy of Athens. She is a member of fieldwork and publication projects at Xobourgo on Tenos (Cyclades)\, Amykles (Sparta)\, Itanos\, and Anavlochos (Eastern Crete). She is the editor of the collective volume Pots\, Workshops and Early Iron Age Society: Function and Role of Ceramics in Early Greece (Études d’archéologie 8\, Brussels 2015). \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Vassilis Lambrinoudakis\, Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology at the University of Athens | “The Sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidauros: New Finds Rewrite the Function and History of the Most Important Sanatorium in Antiquity”
DESCRIPTION:The unexpected finds during recent excavations in the sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidauros shed new light on the origins\, cult\, and function of Asclepius\, the main Divine Healer of the Graeco-Roman world. An amazing ground-floor building that features α peristyle and basement hewn into the rock was excavated at the Tholos\, the famous classical circular building with underground\, meander-like passages. It defines the highly debated and mysterious function of the Tholos as the cult place of chthonic Asclepius\, and explains his presence in Epidauros in the 7th century BC. A small portico\, found under the later Abaton\, preceded the latter as a primitive dormitory hall. It provides evidence for healing through incubation already in early archaic times. An ash altar and accommodations for ritual meals around it explains the parallel magic cure through the consumption of sacred food from the very beginning of the cult. The new finds enrich our knowledge of the sanctuary’s history and general healthcare in antiquity. \nHer Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States\, will provide introductory remarks. \nVassilis Lambrinoudakis is professor emeritus of the University of Athens; corresponding member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres\, Paris; and the Akademie der Wissenschaften\, Vienna. He studied History and Archaeology at the Universities of Athens\, Munich and Bonn. He is member of the German Archeological Institute and the Austrian Archaeological Institute. He excavates mainly in Epidauros/Argolid and the island of Naxos in the Aegean See. He also conducted excavations on the island of Chios\, in Marathon/Attica and in Palaiomanina/Acarnania.  He  directs  projects  of  enhancement  of  archaeological sites in Naxos and Epidauros. In 2003\, he earned the first prize of Europa Nostra for the excavation and the enhancement of the sites Yria and Sangri/Naxos. He has published 14 books and monographs\, as well as 186 papers on ancient Greek architecture and art\, ancient topography\, ancient Greek religion\, epigraphy\, theory of Archaeology\, and management of monuments. He was co-editor of the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC I-VIII) and of the Thesaurus Cultus et Rituum Antiquorum (ThesCRA I-VIII). In 2003\, he was honored by the President of the Hellenic Republic “for promoting the Archaeology and the History of Greece throughout the world.” \nThe event is co-sponsored by the UCLA SNF Hellenic Center\, Embassy of Greece in USA\, UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\, and the Archaeological Institute of America–Los Angeles County Society.  \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Anastassios Antonaras\, Head of Exhibitions\, Communication and Education Department\, Museum of Byzantine Culture\, Thessaloniki |  “Documenting Diversity in Thessaloniki and Its Hinterlands: Three Archaeological Stories”
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines the diverse population that lived in Byzantine Thessaloniki and the surrounding area through three case studies: a young girl with African religious beliefs who lived in the late 3rd century\, a Slavic lady of the late 8th century\, and a group of archers from the 14th – 15th century who were trained in the east. The first case study is a young girl who was buried in a simple pit tomb in the eastern necropolis of Thessaloniki. She wore two amulets: a wooden one\, probably of ebony\, in the shape of a male head with strong African features\, and an amber one in the shape of feline bust. A Slavic lady\, the second case study\, is identified by a special bead that was found during excavations in the castle of Rentina\, east of Thessaloniki. Such beads are characteristic of the Slavic tribes and similar examples have been found from the Volga region and Germany to Greece. A special type of men’s utilitarian jewelry\, the ring of an archer\, presents the third case study. This is a type of ring that initially had the sole purpose of protecting the thumb when the reflective bow’s string was released. These case studies demonstrate that among the population that lived in Byzantine Thessaloniki were a number of foreigners whose identity is only revealed through the careful examination of excavated objects.  \nDr. Anastassios C. Antonaras\, a specialist in the history of glass\, jewelry and textiles\, is an archaeologist and curator. He is Head of the Exhibitions\, Communication and Education Department at the Museum of Byzantine Culture in Thessaloniki. His books include: Glassworking\, Ancient and Medieval: Terminology\, Technology and Typology (2008); Roman and Early Christian Glassworking: Vessels from Thessaloniki and Its Region (which received a prize from the Academy of Athens in 2010); Fire and Sand: Ancient Glass in the Princeton University Art Museum (2012); Artisanal Production in Ancient and Byzantine Thessaloniki: Archaeological\, Literary and Epigraphic Evidence (2016; repr. 2019); Glassware and Glassworking in Thessaloniki: 1st Century BC – 6th Century AD (2017); and The Art of Glass. Works from the Collection of the Museum of Byzantine Culture (2019). He is currently researching different aspects of glass production and glassware in Byzantine and Ottoman Empire and publishing the rich and diverse\, ancient and Islamic glass collection of the Getty Villa Museum. \nThe event is co-sponsored by the UCLA SNF Hellenic Center\, UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\, and the Archaeological Institute of America–Los Angeles County Society.  \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Nikos Panou\, “Slaying the Dragon: Byzantine Survivals in the Greek War of Independence”
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will focus on an aspect of the Greek War of Independence that calls for answers to questions as basic as they are elusive. What role did the Byzantine heritage play in conceptualizing\, representing\, or animating the struggle against the Ottoman Empire? What strands of Byzantium were foregrounded and through which mechanisms did they find a place in the collective imaginary of the period? In what ways was that process of reception and signification manifested\, and to what extent? How can it be studied and properly understood today? \nThe event is co-sponsored by the UCLA SNF Hellenic Center and Dumbarton Oaks\, Washington\, DC. Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States will provide opening remarks. \nNikos Panou is Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Peter V. Tsantes Endowed Professor in Hellenic Studies in the Department of English at Stony Brook University. His current research focuses on articulations of power and authority in pre-modern moral and political discourse\, with emphasis on advice literature and related genres. He has written on topics ranging from Byzantine historiography to seventeenth-century satire\, and has co-edited a volume on conceptions of tyranny from Antiquity to the Renaissance with Oxford University Press. \nTo register\, please click the image above or here.

SUMMARY:Maria Schoina\, Associate Professor of English Literature\, Aristotle University\, Thessaloniki | "Byron's Romantic Philhellenism"
DESCRIPTION:Byron’s philhellenic verse and romantic involvement in the Greek Revolution inspired a host of poets and artists in Europe and across the Atlantic. His death in Missolonghi on April 19\, 1824 appears to have been an especially great force in raising sympathy for the Revolution and stimulating young philhellenes to join the Greek fighting. But the leading English Romantic poet of the time was often ambiguous about the subject of Greece. Recent biographies of Byron and modern interpretations of his venture have duly turned their attention to this debatable issue\, providing various frames of reference for reading Byron’s decision to join the Greek struggle. This lecture will discuss the changing aspects of Byron’s philhellenism as they were acted out in his lifetime and expressed through his poetic production: from the Romantic Hellenism of Childe Harold’s lines and the Eastern Tales\, to the grounded skepticism about Greece’s political future found in his prose and letters\, to his life-changing decision to translate his thoughts into actions\, “words” into “things\,” by joining the Greek uprising and committing himself to a people’s war of national liberation. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA SNF Hellenic Center; SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies\, Simon Fraser University; and the Embassy of Greece in USA. \nMaria Schoina is Associate Professor of English Literature in the School of English of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\, Greece. She holds a B.A.\, M.A. and Ph.D from Aristotle University. She is the author of Romantic “Anglo-Italians”: Configurations of Identity in Byron\, the Shelleys\, and the Pisan Circle (Ashgate 2009; Routledge 2016\, paperback 2019). Her essays have appeared in journals such as Romanticism\, The Byron Journal\, The Wordsworth Circle\, European Romantic Review\, Notes and Queries and in essay collections. Her most recent publications include an essay on Mary Shelley’s Greek studies in The Keats-Shelley Review (2019)\, a chapter on the Pisan Circle and the Cockney School in Byron in Context (Cambridge UP\, 2020) and a chapter on Byron’s reviewers for the Oxford Handbook of Byron (forthcoming\, 2022). She was the organiser of this year’s International Byron Conference (online\, Thessaloniki\, 28 June-2 July 2021). \nTo register\, please click the image above or here.

SUMMARY:Helen Angelomatis-Tsougarakis\, Professor Emerita of History\, Ionian University 		“Fighters and Victims: Women's Lives during the Greek Revolution”
DESCRIPTION:The heroic events of the Greek Revolution of 1821 that eventually led to the liberation of part of Greece and the establishment of the modern Greek State had a tragic side for all Greeks. At the same time\, they sowed the seeds for the changes that would gradually introduce Greeks to the realities of the modern Western world. This lecture discusses the heroism and the tragedy\, as well as the transition into modernity\, by focusing on key aspects of the lives of Greek women during the Revolution. Examining factors that impacted their lives in diverse ways\, from geographical location to socioeconomic position\, we will see how Greek women assumed the roles of victims and fighters\, and how they and their children reacted to the extreme conditions they had to face. The discussion will also address noteworthy changes in the mores and customs of Greek society\, and the ways in which new legislation introduced by the Provisional Governments affected women’s lives. \nHelen (Eleni) Angelomatis-Tsougarakis is professor emerita of the Ionian University. She studied History and Archaeology at Athens University and she holds a DPhil in Modern History from the University of Oxford. She was a Research Director in the Research Centre for Medieval and Modern Greek Studies of the Academy of Athens\, and afterwards a professor at the Department of History of the Ionian University. She taught pre-modern and modern Greek History\, and for several years directed the M.A. Program: “Methodology on Criticism and Editing Historical Sources.” Through this program a considerable number of previously unpublished sources of various periods have been edited and commented on by students under her supervision. Several of these sources have subsequently been published. \nShe has published extensively on various aspects of Greek history from the 15th through to the 19th century. Her interests cover a wide spectrum of subjects: social history\, history of intellectual life and education\, church history\, landscape history\, and travel literature as a historical source. She has published seven books\, and edited seven more books and collective volumes. She has also published over seventy papers in academic journals and collective volumes. \nTo participate in this event\, RSVP here.

SUMMARY:David A. Bell\, Sidney and Ruth Lapidus Professor in the Era of North Atlantic Revolutions; Professor of  History\, Princeton University\, “The Greek Revolution in the Age of Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:  \nDavid A. Bell is a historian of early modern France\, with a particular interest in the political culture of the Old Regime and the French Revolution. He attended graduate school at Princeton\, where he worked with Robert Darnton\, and received his Ph.D. in 1991. From 1990 to 1996 he taught at Yale\, and from 1996 to 2010 at Johns Hopkins\, where he held the Andrew W. Mellon Chair in the Humanities\, and served as Dean of Faculty in the School of Arts and Sciences. He joined the Princeton faculty in 2010. He has been the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. \nBell has written six books. Lawyers and Citizens (Oxford University Press\, 1994) examined the politicization of the French legal profession in the eighteenth century\, showing how spaces for radical criticism of the French monarchy first opened up within the structure of the French state itself. The Cult of the Nation in France (Harvard University Press\, 2001) argued that nationalism\, as opposed to national sentiment\, was a novelty of the French Revolutionary period\, and that it arose both out of\, and in reaction to\, Christianity. The First Total War (Houghton Mifflin\, 2007) is a general study of the political culture of war in Europe between 1750 and 1815. It showed how an aristocratic culture of limited warfare gave way to a world in which total war was possible—and in which\, between 1792 and 1815\, it actually took place. More recently\, Oxford University Press published two new books by Bell: Napoleon: A Concise Biography (2015)\, and an essay collection\, Shadows of Revolution: Reflections on France\, Past and Present (2016). Finally\, in 2018\, W.W. Norton published a textbook co-authored by Bell and Anthony Grafton: The West: A New History. Bell has also co-edited two volumes: Raison universelle et culture nationale au siècle des lumières\, with Ludmila Pimenova and Stéphane Pujol (Honoré Champion\, 1999)\, and Rethinking the Age of Revolutions: France and the Birth of the Modern World\, with Yair Mintzker (Oxford University Press\, 2018). Bell’s new book\, Men on Horseback: Charisma and Power in the Age of Revolutions will be published in 2020 by Farrar\, Straus\, Giroux. \nIn addition to his research and teaching\, Bell writes frequently for a range of general-interest publications. He is committed to the proposition that serious history can be readable\, enjoyable\, and accessible to an interested general public. \nUCLA Professor Lynn Hunt introduces this lecture\, which is also sponsored by the Department of History and the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies. \nTo participate in this event\, RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Greek Book Club: Γιώργος Κυριακόπουλος\, Η τρισεγγονή της Aραπίνας και άλλες ιστορίες
DESCRIPTION:  \n«Να μπω εγώ σε ξένη κάμαρη; Ποτέ»\, απάντησε η σπιτονοικοκυρά με την αρχοντιά γυναίκας με άμεμπτες αρχές. Όμως σαν πήγε τρεις και κάτι\, κάποιος της υπέβαλε την ιδέα πως μπορεί να μην είναι καλά\, να είναι μέσα και να χρειάζεται βοήθεια. Με κατεβασμένα τα μούτρα πήγε η Γεωργία στο σκρίνιο\, που φυλούσε το κουτί με τα κλειδιά. Ξύλινο\, με καλοσκαλισμένο το όνομα “Ηνωμένα Βουστάσια” στο λεπτό καπάκι. Και μέσα πάνω από τριάντα κλειδιά\, φύρδην μίγδην\, κάποια με ένα κομμάτι στραβοκομμένο γκρίζο χαρτόνι περασμένο με σπάγκο και με ένα νούμερο γραμμένο με κόκκινο μολύβι. Έβαλε κάτι γυαλιά του μακαρίτη και άρχισε να τα ανακατεύει με την παλάμη της μέχρι που τσίμπησε εκείνο με το “6”. Έβγαλε τα γυαλιά\, σηκώθηκε με ίσια την πλάτη. Ανέβηκε πρώτη τη σκάλα\, στην αρχή λίγο διστακτικά\, έπειτα πιο αποφασιστικά. Πίσω της η Ισμήνη κρατώντας ψηλά την λάμπα να βλέπουν και οι άλλοι. Και παραπίσω η ανιψιά του Τότη με το οινόπνευμα και η κόρη της Γεωργίας με μια λεκάνη. Τελευταίοι οι άντρες. Ξεκλείδωσαν το δωμάτιο.» \nΕικοσι μία ιστορίες\, κάποιες περισσότερο μυθοπλαστικές\, κάποιες με ψήγματα αυτοβιογραφίας\, κάποιες από τα παλιά ή και τα παλιότερα\, κάποιες προχθεσινές ή χθεσινές\, κάποιες σκληρές και κάποιες τρυφερές\, κάποιες ερωτικές και κάποιες φυλακισμένες σε μνήμες αστικές\, όλες όμως βγαλμένες σε ίσες δόσεις από τη σχολαστική παρατηρητικότητα και τη φαντασία. Ελλειπτική εξιστόρηση με ρόλο για τον αναγνώστη\, που πρέπει να ανατρέξει στη γεύση του ουρανίσκου του για να τις βιώσει. (Από την παρουσίαση στο οπισθόφυλλο του βιβλίου) \nTo participate\, contact Dr. Simos Zenios: szenios@humnet.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:James Barron\, The Greek Connection: The Life of Elias Demetracopoulos and the Untold Story of Watergate
DESCRIPTION:The event will be offered on Zoom.\nRSVP to shorturl.at/dhjAU to receive the link.\nDownload the Zoom app prior to the lecture to participate. \n\n\n\n\n  \nHe was one of the most fascinating figures in 20th-century political history. Yet today\, Elias Demetracopoulos is strangely overlooked–even though his life reads like an epic adventure story. \nAs a precocious twelve-year-old in occupied Athens\, he engaged in heroic resistance efforts against the Nazis\, for which he was imprisoned and tortured. After his life was miraculously spared\, he became an investigative journalist\, covering Greece’s tumultuous politics and America’s increasing influence in the region. A clever and scoop-hungry reporter\, Elias soon gained access to powerful figures in both governments . . . and attracted many enemies. When the Greek military dictatorship took power in 1967\, he narrowly escaped to Washington DC\, where he would lead the fight to restore democracy in his homeland–while running afoul of the American government\, too. \nNow\, after a decade of research and original reporting\, James H. Barron uncovers the story of a man whose tireless pursuit of uncomfortable truths would put him at odds with not only his own government\, but that of the Truman\, Eisenhower\, Kennedy\, Johnson\, Nixon\, Ford\, Carter and Reagan administrations\, making him a target of CIA\, FBI\, and State Department surveillance and harassment–and Greek kidnapping and assassination plots American authorities may have purposefully overlooked. \nJames H. Barron is a journalist\, attorney\, and founding advisory board member of the New England Center for Investigative Reporting. A creator of the award-winning International Boston Initiative and Atlantic Rim Network\, he has taught courses at MIT and lectured at universities in Paris and Tokyo.

SUMMARY:A Celebration of Greek Language Day: Professor Kathryn Morgan\, “Know Thyself: Ancient Proverbs and the Road to Wisdom.”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Kathryn Morgan\, UCLA Department of Classics \n“Know Thyself: Ancient Proverbs and the Road to Wisdom” \nThe Sages of Ancient Greece were renowned for their pithy formulations of proverbial wisdom. Perhaps the most famous of these was the saying inscribed on the temple of Apollo at Delphi: “Know thyself!” (γνῶθι σεαυτόν)\, a command that had a long influence on Greek wisdom traditions\, including the thought of Socrates. This talk will examine how popular wisdom traditions were exploited and explored by thinkers who capitalized upon the density of expression characteristic both of proverbs and of ancient Greek. Brief and “laconic” formulations are like modern “soundbites\,” memorable but problematic: What are their advantages? What are their limits? \nKathryn Morgan is Professor of Classics in the Department of Classics at UCLA.  Her interests range broadly over Greek literature of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. She regularly teaches graduate seminars in Attic tragedy\, Pindar and Greek lyric\, and Plato\, and her research oscillates between projects connected with Plato and with Pindar. The former is represented by her book Myth and Philosophy from the Presocratics to Plato\, and by her ongoing involvement in the series Studies in Ancient Greek Narrative (published by Brill)\, where she is responsible for the chapters covering Plato. Pindar is the subject of her most recent book\, Pindar and the Construction of Syracusan Monarchy in the Fifth Century B.C. (2015)\, where she examines Pindar’s victory odes for Hieron of Syracuse and the program of tyrannical self-representation to which they contributed.  Ongoing research includes book projects on Plato’s conception of history and on historical narrative in the Persians of Aeschylus. She has served on the Program Committee and the Board of Directors of the Society for Classical Studies\, and is currently a member of the Nominating Committee. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the General Secretariat for Public Diplomacy & Greeks Abroad (Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, Hellenic Republic) and by the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be offered on Zoom.\nRSVP to shorturl.at/uHLTW to receive the link.

SUMMARY:Rena Molho\, “Problems of Incorporating the Holocaust into the Greek Collective Memory”
DESCRIPTION:Tolerance of antisemitism and neo-Nazism in Greece in recent years shows that the Holocaust has not yet been incorporated into the Greek national consciousness. This could be (partly) because Greece did not commemorate the Holocaust until it became a member of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in 2005. By reviewing the reactions of the Greek authorities and citizens in Thessaloniki\, the city with 56\,000 Jews which was first to face the Nazi threat in 1941\, Dr. Molho will try to explain the Greek state’s sixty years delay in commemorating the murder of 62\,500 Jews\, or 87% of the Greek Jewish population. \n \nRena Molho is a Greek historian who focuses on the different aspects of Ottoman and Greek Jewish history and culture and more specifically that of the Jews of Salonika.  Molho studied European history at Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\, and received a Doctor of Philosophy with distinctions from the University of Strasbourg. She has taken part in many symposiums\, television and radio programs\, in Greece and abroad\, and has published her research in Greek and international scientific books\, encyclopedias\, and journals. Her research has been supported with grants by the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture in New York City and by the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation in Los Angeles. In 1996\, she acted as senior interviewer and coordinator in Greece for the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation and has videotaped seventy Greek Holocaust survivors’ personal accounts. Molho has taught the history of the Jewish presence in Greece in seminars organized by the International Study Groups\, and since 1991 with a group of other historians\, she co-founded the Society for the Study of Greek Jewry. For eight years\, as of 1999\, she taught the history of Greek Jewry at Panteion University in Athens\, the first and only Greek academic institution to include the course of Jewish history in its curriculum in Greece until today. Her book The Jews of Thessaloniki\, 1856–1919: A Unique Community received the Athens Academy Award in December 2000 and in 2001 it was published in Greek by Themelion Publishing. After this\, it became a university handbook distributed to Greek students of Jewish history. From 2005 to 2007\, she was the Greek coordinator for Centropa\, a Vienna\, Austria-based Jewish historical institute which conducted a new series of audio interviews of Thessaloniki-born survivors who after 1945 returned and settled in Greece. She has published a great number of academic articles in all the major European languages as well as in Greek\, Hebrew\, and Turkish. In 2010\, she was decorated with the medal of the order of Ordre des Palmes Académiques for her contribution to the French academia. Among her latest books\, Salonica-Istanbul: Social\, Political and Cultural Aspects of Jewish Life (2005) comprises a collection of eighteen studies in English and French and was published by Isis Press. Her book Jewish Sites in Thessaloniki: Brief History and Guide (2009)\, published by Lycabettus Press in Athens\, became a best-seller\, and was also published in Greek (2010) and in German (2011). \nTo participate in this event\, please RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Leon Saltiel\, “Dehumanizing the Dead: The Destruction of Thessaloniki’s Jewish Cemetery during World War II”
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will discuss the destruction of Thessaloniki’s ancient and vast Jewish cemetery which commenced in December 1942. The cemetery\, located close to the city center\, had long become the object of a dispute between the Christian and Jewish communities\, with the former wishing to expropriate it in favor of the city’s new University and the latter trying to preserve the sanctity and history of the place. In the end\, a few months before the living Jews of Thessaloniki were deported\, the cemetery of the dead Jews was destroyed. The destruction of the cemetery is often referred to as the harbinger of the Holocaust in Thessaloniki because it took place three months before the deportations commenced. However\, this unique event in occupied Europe is not directly related to the Nazi “Final Solution.” In no other city in Europe did the Nazis completely destroy Jewish cemeteries and all\, with very few exceptions\, continued to exist after the war\, even on German soil. Due to the time coincidence of the different anti-Jewish measures as well as the convergence of the same protagonists and victims\, the narration becomes linear and ignores a series of crucial factors. The independent study of the destruction of the cemetery can shed light on the unknown aspects of this story and offers a new narration to the events that followed. \nLeon Saltiel holds a Ph.D. in Contemporary Greek History from the University of Macedonia\, in Thessaloniki\, Greece\, and has been a post-doctoral researcher at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva\, Switzerland\, and at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His publications include The Holocaust in Thessaloniki: Reactions to the Anti-Jewish Persecution\, 1942–1943 (Routledge 2020) and ‘Do Not Forget Me’: Three Jewish Mothers Write to their Sons from the Ghetto of Thessaloniki (Alexandria 2018). \nTo participate in this event\, please RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Marcia Haddad Ikonomopoulos\, Museum Director\, Kehila Kedosha Janina\, “Meet Me on the Corner of Broome and Allen: A Visit to Kehila Kedosha Janina”
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Haddad Ikonomopoulos gives us a virtual tour of Kehila Kedosha Janina\, the only Romaniote synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. The congregation was founded in 1906 by Greek Jewish immigrants from Ioannina\, but the synagogue itself was not erected until 1927. The years from then until the Second World War were a time of prosperity for the Romaniote community in the Lower East Side: there were three rabbis in the synagogue\, and on the High Holidays\, there was often only standing room for synagogue services. After the Second World War\, many congregants moved to other boroughs and parts of Manhattan\, including Harlem\, the Bronx\, and Brooklyn\, though these communities are no longer active. Although the community has steadily dwindled since its pre-war heyday\, services are still held on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. A documentary film about the synagogue and community\, “the Last Greeks on Broome Street” was produced in the early 2000s. It is directed\, written and narrated by Ed Askinazi\, whose great-grandparents were among the congregation’s founders. \nKehila Kedosha Janina is somewhat unusual for a Romaniote synagogue in that it runs north-south with the Ehal on the north side (Romaniote synagogues typically run east to west)\, the bimah is in the center of the main sanctuary (most Romaniote synagogues place the bimah on the west wall)\, and the internal stairway for the women’s balcony. It is typical in the fact that men and women sit separately (a feature of all Orthodox synagogues). The second-floor women’s gallery contains a museum with artifacts\, exhibits\, and Judaica on Jewish life in Greece and the history of Greek Jews as well as a gift shop. Exhibited items are housed in cases along the walls on either side behind the seats\, as well as in the area immediately in front of the staircase. \n Marcia Haddad Ikonomopoulos is Museum Director of Kehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum in New York City. She is also President of the Association of Friends of Greek Jewry\, Former Director of Special Projects for Sephardic House\, a teacher of Judaic Studies from 1990-2010\, and a translator of Greek Jewish Holocaust memoirs. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Panepirotic Federation of America. \nTo participate in this event\, please RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Greek Book Club: Λος Άντζελες· Οδηγώντας στη Νότια Καλιφόρνια της Σώτης Τριανταφύλλου
DESCRIPTION:“Ενα πρωί βρήκα τα υπολείμματα των ημερών σου\, είδα τις πατημασιές σου στην ερπετώδη γη\, άκουσα πάλι την αναπνοή σου: στα ρημαγμένα τοπία\, στη μακάβρια αταξία\, σε είδα να γίνεσαι ένας άνθρωπος ασυνήθιστα συνηθισμένος. \nΗθελα να σου φωνάξω πως όταν σε βρήκα ήσουν ήδη χαμένος\, όμως\, δεν σου είπα τίποτα· έμεινα να σε κοιτάζω με την πλάτη ακουμπισμένη στον τοίχο. \nΕπειτα\, πέρασε το καλοκαίρι και ήρθε ένας μακρύς και βαρύς χειμώνας: Οι σκιές σκούραιναν και οι άνεμοι βρυχώνταν – αστραφτερές βροχές χτυπούσαν τις γέφυρες. Πήρα το δρόμο για την Καλιφόρνια: οδηγώντας σκεφτόμουν πως η ταχύτητα στον δρόμο δείχνει την ταχύτητα της ανθρώπινης προσδοκίας. \nΚάνε αυτό που ξέρεις να κάνεις καλύτερα. Οδήγα”. \nΕκδόσεις: ΜΕΛΑΝΙ \nTo participate\, email Dr. Simos Zenios: szenios@humnet.ucla.edu
