The beginning and μnal portions of this brief book o¶er a description and critique of, and a prescription for understanding, the concept of ‘classical’ in the post-modern period. In between are a series of essays interpreting the application and development of the concept of ‘classical’ from antiquity to the present in Western and contemporary globalised culture. The sixteen short chapters o¶er erudite, thought-provoking essays on various aspects of our intellectual and cultural history and, indeed, the very discipline many of us contemplate, investigate and teach on a daily basis. Readers are forced to re-examine the relative signiμcance of the words and phrases ‘rebirth’, ‘renascence’, ‘the Renaissance’, ‘revival’ and ‘neoclassical’ as S. conjures up most of the dizzying number of Greco-Roman (e.g. Augustan, Hadrianic and Gallienic), Medieval (e.g. Carolingian, Palatine), Byzantine (e.g. Theodosian, Justinian, Macedonian, Comnenian and Palaeologian), Renaissance, early modern and contemporary movements, not to mention the late-eighteenth/early-nineteenthcentury Neoclassical Period, to which such labels have been applied. He discusses their frequent shifts of meaning, while posing periodically throughout the book such paradoxes as perceiving the Greco-Roman world as a historical reality versus perceiving the ‘classical’ as cultural in·uence; incorporating elements of classical culture as integral to an artistic whole versus abusing fragmented selections from a dismembered artistic vocabulary; and remembering and honouring the past versus envisioning the present and even creating the future. Both the special genius and the deμciency of this book lie in the attempt at deμning the essence of the classical in the post-modern period. The post-modern period is as yet so ill deμned, lacking both chronological and stylistic parameters, that S. can only begin to propose a deμnition and o¶er an analysis of how the classical has been adapted within those parameters, and question whether it has been successful or disastrous, let alone formulate a prognosis for the future. Similarly, S. understandably concentrates for the most part on examples from the μelds of art history and architectural history, where post-modern classical motifs have indeed often been fragmented and seem thoroughly devoid of their original structural purpose. I would like to think that within such genres as μlm, literature and political science the search for the post-modern usage of classical concepts and motifs will produce more

determined explicitly from the limited evidence, scholars have attempted to establish the order of months by resorting to the comparative method. M. P. Nilsson, whose calendar studies are probably the most extensive of those of any living scholar, has repeatedly denied the validity of this method. For example, in Timbres Amphoriques de Lindos (Copenhagen, 1909), p. 137, he states with regard to the calendar of Rhodes, "I1 n'a fait que mettre en une plus vive clarte encore, l'absence de concordance entre les diff rents calendriers doriens; nous avons done eu raison d'eviter de nous servir d'analogies tirees des calendriers etrangers." I anticipate my conclusion by stating that the evidence supports Nilsson's opinion, and dependence on the analogical method can lead to no assured results. An effort has recently been made, employing this method, to determine the order of months at Kos and at Sparta; and the Spartan calendar so determined would permit a solution of the problem of intercalation in the Athenian calendar of 423-421 B.C. In studying the calendar of Kos, M. Giffler has argued: 1) "The position of Artamitios in the Rhodian calendar suggests a similar position for Artamitios in the Coan calendar." 2) Since Kos and Sparta share the months Artamitios and Gerastios, it is suggested that the relation of these two months was the same in both places.' Giffler's conclusions, in turn, have been considered by B. D. Meritt as affording independent testimony for intercalation in the Athenian calendar of the fifth century: "In a recent note on the calendar of Kos, Milton Giffler has drawn attention to the sequence of the Doric months Gerastios and Artamitios, in that order, and I believe his suggestion sound that they must be construed in the same sequence in the calendar of Sparta."2 That the position of a month in the Rhodian calendar affords no evidence for a similar position of an homonymous month in the calendar of Kos can most easily be seen from the following table which contains those months with the exception of Artamitios which were common to Rhodes and Kos.3 The first month corresponds to the fourth in the Athenian calendar and is usually equated with October/November.

La mission Labraunda 2013 - Rapport préliminaire

Although the epigraphic records do not attest an exact toponomy to confirm where exactly Hygassos is but rather announce an ethnic, this paper aims to suggest further by chasing the 
inter-relatability of some selected inscriptions. The supplementary data is also presented to find out and assess the question of settlement and chronology in a variety of contexts. The data repository attained from the close catchment of the Acropolis (in Kizilkoy) give a lucid picture of a densely occupied “urban” zone and represents a flashback to the Hellenistic links of the deme, however it is quite a painful job to trace the earlier features that are highly disturbed or misrepresented in the khorai. Even though land use seems to be quite determined by the interplay of environmental and habitational dynamics (the settlement patterns hardly appear to be forcefully driven) in both, the inland deme of Hygassos and coastal/quasi-coastal Phoinix were the two diverse implantations in the Rhodian Peraia, in respect of attraction in the Hellenistic period. Changes within the spatio-temporal context are not that easy to explore, however, when architectural data and micro-plans are reviewed, mobility and/or seasonality could have been there, beyond the smooth layouts, particularly near the coastal hilly terrains of Hygassos. Still, crumbles of ceramic evidence which hint at Hygassos’ potential to offer links with the late Bronze Age and; cultic figures or linguistic rules that manifest her tendency toward a stronger Anatolian, hence Karian character in the Peraia, make her a lot more distinguished than the neighbouring demoi.
