A New Epistomion from Sfakaki, near Rethymno
Publication of a new gold epistomion unearthed during rescue excavations in the property of IRIS Hotel Inc. in the Sfakaki region near Rethymno. The new epistomion from Grave 7 belongs to category E, the so-called chaire-texts, and is identical to that incised on E4, bringing the total number of epistomia from Crete to sixteen (see Appendix)
New Epistomia from Eleutherna
Publication of two new gold epistomia unearthed during systematic excavations of a cemetery at the site Mnemata (Graves) in Alphá, near Eleutherna. They belong to category B, the so-called Mnemosyne- or Underworld-Topography-texts: the new epistomion B14 from grave 84 was found folded and is identical to that incised on B3–5, B7–8 and the concise B13, except for one minor misspelling; the other epistomion B15 from grave 56 betrays more similariti…
Panhellenes at Methone
This volume discusses the multidimensional aspects of the unique, and so far unprecedented for Macedonia, 191 sherds from Methone in Pieria, dated to ca 700 BCE, which bear inscriptions, graffiti, and (trade)marks inscribed, incised, scratched and rarely painted. The 191 vessels were unearthed during excavations in ancient Methone in Pieria, the oldest colony of Greeks from Eretria in the north according to tradition. The Methone find is unique f…

The 'Orphic' Gold Tablets and Greek Religion
Inscriptions as Literature in Pausanias’ Exegesis of Hellas
Inscriptions are written on every imaginable kind of material except papyrus, and like various objects are attached to a place, a particular, locative context, within which they are seen, read, and interpreted. Pausanias' Hellenika contain a great number of epigraphical quotations or references, especially in his narrative of Elis and Olympia (books 5 and 6), where he also presents the methodological principles employed in composing this section …
Bematists
Bematists ( bematistai ) were individuals who “measured distances by paces” (LSJ); they are often mentioned together with hemerodromoi (runners of a day's distance), dromokerykes (running heralds), and perhaps chorographers.
Proverbs, Greek
Greek proverbs ( paroimiai ) were concise, pithy, and “popular” expressions of wisdom, which belonged to the genre of wisdom literature.
Center, periphery, or peripheral center
Center and periphery are problematic terms and may be misleading, especially when applied literally to areas and metaphorically to ideas of the ancient Greek world, because center and periphery imply power and influence exerted and sustained. An area or city-state that may have been a periphery may gradually become a center and vice versa. The engraved gold lamellae and epistomia are a case in point. The texts engraved on these artifacts express …
Hermes and Apollo at Onchestos in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes
The baby-god Hermes, after the invention of the lyre and his elaborate mecharte to cover his and the cattle's tracks, drives Apollo's cattle from their pasture in Pieria to a hiding place in the P?loponn?se, in a cave by the bank of Alpheios. Approximately halfway there, at Onchestos, Hermes' theft is witnessed by an anonymous old man, the only human character present in the Hymn. Hermes addresses him first (lines 90-3) and without any reaction w…
An "Orphic-Dionysiac" Gold Epistomion from Sfakaki near Rethymno
Editio pnnceps of the inscription on a gold epistomion that was found in a Roman cemetery in Sfakaki-Rethymnon. The new text is studied in relation to the eleven gold lamellae inscribed with a few words, which represent a group within the Orphic-Dionysiac lamellae, and whose brief narrative form may have been conditioned by rules of secrecy. In the series of the Orphic-Dionysiac lamellae, it is only the second text — the other one is also from Cr…
