The essays in this collection, written by a cross-regional group of experts, provide illuminating insights into the causes of declining levels of citizen participation and other distinct forms of civic activism in Europe and explore a range of factors contributing to apathy and eventually disengagement from vital political processes and institutions.

Studies On The Reception Of Plato, Kyriakos N. Demetriou Mar 2011

Studies On The Reception Of Plato, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

This collection of essays focuses on the reception of Plato and Greek political thought in the work of some major (pre)Victorian classical scholars and expands on a remarkable range of hotly debated issues on the interpretation of Greek antiquity. The central figure in this volume is the radical philosopher, utilitarian, and Platonist George Grote, whose works on the history of Greece and Plato moved away from traditional models of classical interpretation. His works and their background are critically explored in light of his philosophical commitment and political radicalism. Article IV brings to light a forgotten manuscript by Grote, "On the …

In The Reign Of Queen Victoria: Fourteen Texts On Cyprus, 1878-91, Kyriakos N. Demetriou Mar 2009

In The Reign Of Queen Victoria: Fourteen Texts On Cyprus, 1878-91, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

This volume includes fourteen long neglected texts on the history, anthropology, politics and society of Cyprus during the first decades of the British rule. The volume is informed by a lengthy introduction by K. Demetriou, who examines the contribution of the British to modernizing the island, by introducing political reforms and improving the island’s economy and infrastructure. It also explores and analyses their perceptions of the indigenous population within the context of imperialist culture and racialist prejudices. Thus apart from being primary sources that belong to the a certain literary genre, this collection has sociological, historical and topographical interest, especially …


Greek And Pre-Greek Oath : The Importance Of Styx, Marianina Demetri Olcott Jan 2009

Greek And Pre-Greek Oath : The Importance Of Styx, Marianina Demetri Olcott

Marianina Demetri Olcott

This paper seeks to prove that in pre-Greek oaths and truth-tests , liturgy associated with this religious stratum did not have libations as the primary ritual feature. Rather, from an examination of a variety of textual sources we uncover evidence not only that Styx and Demeter are aspects of the same pre- Greek female deity but also that pre-Greek oaths may have been associated with certain stones rather than merely libations.


The Platonic Legend [In Greek], Kyriakos N. Demetriou Jun 2008

The Platonic Legend [In Greek], Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

This is the first study ever on the history of modern Platonic exegesis in Greek, and would hopefully introduce the “Rezeptionsgechichte” discipline into Greek academia. What I am trying to prove is a simple, albeit controversial thesis, namely that the existence of so many conflicting accounts about Plato’s philosophy proves that George Grote’s argument put forward in the 1860s (in a nutshell, that Plato had no distinct philosophical system to establish apart from a consistent aim running through the dialogues, that of expounding a philosophical method -- not a doctrine), is still compellingly legitimate. The existence of many “Platonisms” (in …

A Bibliographical Guide To Nineteenth-Century British Journal Publications On Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou Oct 2003

A Bibliographical Guide To Nineteenth-Century British Journal Publications On Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

The first idea for this guide sprung from an investigation into the reception of modern Greece by Victorian classical scholars, i.e., their understanding, first, of the political affairs relating to the Revolution of 1821, and, second, of the major constitutional, civil, and cultural changes that took place during the nineteenth century. Examining the lists of contents of the numerous monthly Victorian periodicals soon led to the realization that there existed a remarkable record of review articles and contributions on Greece with a full range of opinion on major contemporary issues, such as politics, education, travel, religion, culture, and historiography. The …

Bishop Connop Thirlwall: Historian Of Ancient Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou Oct 2002

Bishop Connop Thirlwall: Historian Of Ancient Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

The purpose of this article is to revisit and reappraise Connop Thirlwall’s much-neglected 8-volume History of Greece (London, 1835-1844). It is shown that the historical work of the great classicist and theologian represents the practical embodiment of the spirit of transition between partisan and “scientific”, as called at the time, historiography. Constituting a bridge between the old and the new, and having fulfilled its role, Thirlwall’s work was destined to sink into oblivion, virtually obscured in the shadow of George Grote’s Greece.


A 'Legend' In Crisis: The Debate Over Plato's Politics, 1930-1960, Kyriakos N. Demetriou Oct 2002

A 'Legend' In Crisis: The Debate Over Plato's Politics, 1930-1960, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

From the early 1930s to the early 1960s many scholars, whether liberal-minded or socialist ideologues, Marxist or scientific positivists, classical scholars or political theorists and historians, have shown a widespread consensus in discrediting and assailing the man and political philosopher Plato. Such an extensive assault led the ‘Platonic Legend’ to an unprecedented crisis. Philosophically, it was a reaction to the undisguised Platonolatry coming from Oxford and the school of the British Idealists. Ideologically, the appropriation of Plato by Nazi apologists fostered further this vehement indictment. But a lot of other causes worked to the same effect. The general anguish and …


Historians On Alexander The Great And Macedonian Imperialism, Kyriakos N. Demetriou May 2001

Historians On Alexander The Great And Macedonian Imperialism, Kyriakos N. Demetriou

Kyriakos N. Demetriou

The history of classical scholarship abounds with examples of metaphors that function as organic links between past and present. As vehicles for contemporary emulation or allies of particular moral and political ideologies, interpretations of ancient life have mirrored the anxieties and controversies of their times. Alexander the Great has been a prominent figure in such historically contextualized interpretations. A comparative study of the reception of this legendary hero by two leading nineteenth-century historians, George Grote and Konstantinos Paparrigopoulos, provides a platform for reflecting on the influence that different versions of Hellenism have had on the construction of historical narratives. Two …
