An important finding at Epidauros: a new temple discovered

Εικόνα
An unknown building of the 6th century BC has been discovered right next to the renowned Tholos, which is the most iconic building of Asclepius. According to Professor Vassilis Lamprinoudakis, head of the excavations at ancient Epidaurus, it is about "a sacred building - a forerunner of the Tholos, which was originally the site of Asclepius' worship".

Antigone (full movie with english subtitles) - starring Manos Katrakis, Irene Pappa et al.

Εικόνα
Antigone is an ancient tragedy of Sophocles, most likely presented in the Great Dionysia of 441 BC. Its subject comes from the ancient city Thebes, from which Sophocles drew material for two of his other tragedies, Oedipus Rex  and Oedipus at Colonos .  The fictional events of Antigone are later chronological than those of the two Oedipus-tragedies, but Antigone was introduced before them. Her subject is Antigone's attempt to bury the second of her two dead brothers, Polyneikes, despite Creon's (king of Thebes) contrary command, putting the honor of the gods and her brother's love above human laws. Antigone is Sophocles' second oldest surviving tragedy, after Ajax. The movie appeared on 22nd of January, 1961 and is remarkable for the accurate sceneries and the renown actors, such as Irene Papas, Manos Katrakis, Maro Kontou and others

JOHANN JOACHIM WINKELMANN (1717-1768)

Εικόνα
Johann Joachim Winkelmann, (December 9, 1717 - June 8, 1768) was a German theologian, librarian and art historian. He was born in 1717 in Stendal, Magdeburg, in northern Germany (then Prussia). His father was a shoemaker and his mother a weaver. In the history of archeology he is considered the father of classical archeology as an independent science, since he distinguished it from the literary sources and he made remarkable commentaries on the ancient Greek art. In 1755, Winkelmann published his first book titled "Thoughts on Imitation of Greek Painting and Sculpture" ( Gedanken über die Nachahmung der Griechischen Werke in der Malerei und Bildhauerkunst ). In this work, for the first time, his views on the superiority of ancient Greek art were expressed and he urged artists to learn from it and imitate it. The imitation, however, did not have to be mechanical, but creative in order to produce meaningful results. His phrase about the "noble simplicity and
