Blog version: http://fishuk.cc/anthem-gr
This is the song currently used as the national anthem of Greece (Hellenic Republic): Ύμνος εις την Ελευθερίαν (Ýmnos eis tin Eleftherían), the "Hymn to Liberty" or "Hymn to Freedom". The lyrics were written as a poem by Dionýsios Solomós in 1823 and they received a melody by Nikólaos Mántzaros in 1828. It was adopted as the anthem of the independent Greece ("Elláda") in 1865, and as the anthem of the Greek part of the island of Cyprus in 1966. The original poem is much longer (158 stanzas in total), and only its first part is used as the anthem.
Solomós (1798-1857) was born in the island of Zante and was inspired by the fight for independence, finnaly obtained by Greece in 1821 from the Ottoman Empire. In 1824 the king George I decreed the poem as the national anthem, displayed in its short version with two stanzas. Mántzaros (1795-1873) was born in the island of Corfu, in the Ionian Sea, and studied music in Italy for many years. Only in 1865 the anthem was officialized, with the first 24 stanzas of the poem, although only the two first ones are played in official events.
I downloaded the audio with singers from this video: http://youtu.be/j_u5NfDR7AA. The video with the instrumental version is here: http://youtu.be/se3B_ULyj7U. My video has three subtitles: in the modern Greek spelling, in one of the many ways of transliterating, and in English translation. Read below the lyrics in the modern Greek spelling (1) and in the "polytonic" spelling, official until 1982 (2):
1) Σε γνωρίζω από την κόψη
του σπαθιού την τρομερή,
σε γνωρίζω από την όψη
που με βία μετράει τη γη.
Απ' τα κόκαλα βγαλμένη
των Ελλήνων τα ιερά,
και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,
χαίρε, ω χαίρε, Ελευθεριά!
2) Σὲ γνωρίζω ἀπὸ τὴν κόψι
τοῦ σπαθιοῦ τὴν τρομερή,
σὲ γνωρίζω ἀπὸ τὴν ὄψι,
ποὺ μὲ βιά μετράει τὴν γῆ.
Ἀπ' τὰ κόκκαλα βγαλμένη
τῶν Ἑλλήνων τὰ ἱερά,
καὶ σὰν πρῶτα ἀνδρειωμένη,
χαῖρε, ὢ χαῖρε, Ἐλευθεριά!

"Violence breaks out in Athens" - (March 2021)
A water cannon was used at a protest in solidarity with jailed far-left hitman Dimitris Koufontinas who has been on a hunger strike for almost two months and reportedly suffered a kidney failure the same day, Athens on Friday.
People rallied near the parliament building to support Koufontinas. with riot police using a water cannon and tear gas.
Koufontinas was a member of a far-leftist group called 'November 17,' which was active in Greece from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The former member of the now-disbanded group was sentenced to 11 life sentences for multiple killings and bomb attacks in 2003.

Lecture 23: In this lecture we survey the history of Greece during the fourth century. Sometimes dismissed as a less important age than the fifth century, it was, in fact, a time of important developments in art, philosophy, drama, and literature. We shall examine these changes by studying some of the leading figures of the century, including Plato, Xenophon, and Menander.
Towards the end of the fourth century, Greece would come under the domination of the Macedonian kings, and we will need to look at political developments. Was this the century in which the polis exhausted its potential as a social and political unit? Or did it remain a vigorous and dynamic community?

Lecture 21: In this lecture we will examine the career of Socrates, the most influential of Greek philosophers. He marks the meeting of two philosophical traditions: the Ionian tradition of speculation and inquiry, and the sophistic tradition of teaching. To understand Socrates it is also important to look at conditions in Athens at the end of the fifth century.
The trial of Socrates, as we shall see, was the culmination of pressures created by Athens' defeat in the Peloponnesian War. The crisis of democracy, fear of oligarchy, and popular suspicion in relation to higher learning all combined to make Socrates into a scapegoat.

Lecture 20: In this lecture we continue our discussion of the Peloponnesian War. Hostilities resumed in 421 BC following the Peace of Nicias, and the war expanded into the Aegean, as Spartan fleets challenged Athenian supremacy. Eventually the Athenians would embark on the disastrous invasion of Sicily, creating a second front when their resources were already beginning to reach the breaking point. Although Athens survived the destruction of its invasion force, the Athenians were severely weakened by their losses, and they fought the last campaigns of the war primarily in the very waters in which formerly they had been unchallenged. In 404 BC, a Spartan fleet sailed into the Piraeus, the port of Athens, and the Athenians capitulated.
Thucydides’ treatment of the Peloponnesian War, and the Sicilian Expedition in particular, represents the attempt of a thoughtful historian, familiar with the major events of the day, to identify the causes of Athens' final collapse. In Athens' defeat he saw the lessons of war and history played out with the inevitability of tragedy. Athens' daring, the key to the city's success, would finally bring about her fall.
Lecture 21: https://www.bitchute.com/video/n4yTT4oSRFFw/
Lecture 15: Throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC, the Athenians practiced a form of democratic political life rarely equaled in any other time or place. Although participation was restricted to adult male citizens, excluded women and foreigners, and depended on the existence of a slave population, the democratic system of Athens nevertheless remains a remarkable achievement.
In this lecture we will examine in detail the institutions of the Athenian democracy in an attempt to reconstruct the democratic experience of the ancient Greeks. We shall also consider the relationship between democratic politics and the other public institutions of Athenian society.

Lecture 14: Emerging triumphant from the Persian Wars, Athens quickly took command of a new alliance of Greek states. The Athenians’ intention was to continue the war against Persia. This they did, driving the Persians from the Aegean and liberating the Greek cities of Ionia. Within a short time, however, this Delian League became the basis of an Athenian naval empire embracing the entire Aegean Sea.
In this lecture we will examine the transformation of the Delian League from a free alliance into an Athenian Empire. As Athens became an imperial city, it underwent dramatic changes. Relations with Sparta grew strained, the Persian threat receded, and a new generation of democratic politicians came to power. All of these developments shaped the course of Athenian society, and we will examine the emergence of imperial Athens.

Lecture 11: Although Solon and Pisistratus paved the way for Athens to become a full democracy, it was the aristocratic leader Cleisthenes who devised the democratic system under which Athens flourished for two centuries. In this lecture we examine the conditions under which democracy came into being. We then look in detail at the complex system set in place by Cleisthenes.
By creating new tribal and local divisions, he forever weakened the aristocratic hold on Athenian politics.
We will review some of the major interpretations that have been advanced to explain the Cleisthenic system.

Lecture 10: The term “tyranny” conjures up images of cruel despots terrorizing a frightened population.
In the world of ancient Greece, especially in the sixth century, tyranny meant something quite different. Tyrants were ambitious men who took advantage of the upheavals of the age to seize power. Some, like Policrates of Samos, were great builders. Many, like Cypselus of Corinth, ruled during a time of prosperity. By ending the factional disputes that afflicted the city-states of Greece, many of them brought stability.
The Athenians were ruled by the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons for half a century. Far from being a time of fear, this was a period during which the Athenians enjoyed peace at home and growing influence abroad. In this lecture we will examine the tyranny of Pisistratus and its legacy for Athens.

#Athens, the ancient capital city of #Greece has seen a large influx of asylum-seekers in recent months as the government has transferred tens of thousands of migrants from the asylum centers on the islands to the mainland
Now, Athens is starting to feel like Baghdad or Damascus
It’s been a few months since we last spoke with James LaFond, but in the mean time the world has gone from civilized to ??? seemingly overnight, and James has re-emerged from his time spent out West writing and training to return to the Imperial auspices of the East Coast to connect with old friends and observe the Corona Clampdown up close. Along the way James has written a treatise on the parallels between Red and Blue State America and the ancient rivalries between the Greek empires of Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War, and the ramifications for continued stratification of American society between the elite and the rest of us.

Mythodea - Music for the NASA Mission: 2001 Mars Odyssey is a choral symphony by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis. It premiered as a single concert in Athens, Greece, in 1993.
For the 2001 version of Mythodea, Vangelis expanded and re-orchestrated the original composition.
It was first recorded and then played live on-stage by: Vangelis on synthesizers and keyboards, the London Metropolitan Orchestra augmented by two harpists, sopranos Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman, the chorus of the Greek National Opera, and, for the concert only, the Seistron and Typana percussion ensembles. The concert was held in Athens, Greece on June 28, 2001, in the Temple of Zeus in Athens, for thousands of audience and even more numerous spectators who watched the concert on a huge video screen at the Marble Stadium, built in honor of the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896.

A 2016 SBS Travel/History Documentary, written and presented by Michael Scott.
In this episode Michael starts his journey at the Corinth Canal, an amazing feat of engineering that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. From here, he travels to Ancient Corinth and the fortress atop Acrocorinth overlooking the ancient city ruins. No site is more stunning than the proud walls of this Byzantine and Venetian fortress sitting astride the towering hulk of this Corinthian acropolis.
From Corinth, he heads to the Peloponnese, named after the mythical character Pelops. Then he arrives in Athens. No city sums up more the wonderfully textured history of Greece than its modern capital.

A 2015 BBC History Documentary hosted by Wallace Hadrill.
The first city of a million was built two thousand years ago. But how did they make Ancient Athens and Rome work without petrol, gas or electricity? Professor Wallace-Hadrill finds out.
In the first episode, Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill takes us on a journey across stunning locations in Greece and Italy to find out how Athens gave birth to the idea of a city run by free citizens 2,500 years ago. Every aspect of daily life from defence to waste disposal was controlled not by a king, but by the Athenians themselves. Ultimately, this radical new system would define a way of life and the Athenians would give it a name. They called it people power, demo-kratia or democracy. On our journey we meet the people who still see ancient Athens as the model for running the great cities of today, including perhaps the ancient capital's greatest champion in our modern one - Boris Johnson. We discover how the Greeks created the first system of open government, and wrote the first constitution that laid down the rights of Athenian citizens nearly 2,000 years before our Magna Carta. Its creator was born in the 7th century BC.

Channel 4 History Documentary series (2004-2010) hosted by Bettany Hughes.
If contemporary views of ancient Athens, Greece emphasize the peaceful and harmonious nature of that polis's democratic system, historian Bettany Hughes begs to differ. Hughes asserts that the West's establishment of Athens as the platonic ideal of democracy is hugely ironic, for that classical society in fact employed rules, regulations and traditions deemed unthinkable, even barbaric, in our modern age - from the widespread practice of black magic; to the view of women as demonic, fourth or fifth-class citizens forced to wear public veils; to the proliferation of slavery. Most incredibly, Athens relied on inner bloodshed, tumult and strife to perpetuate its existence and strength, declaring war every two years or so. Such practices were commonplace, even as the community soared to new intellectual heights and created wondrous sociopolitical ideals for itself that it strove to live up to and that would later form the basis of contemporary political thought.

This short-lived Athens, GA bands 1988 Mini Album really caught my attention when Denny Walley brought it to my attention. Denny was the guitarist for Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart's best bands ever yet and he had introduced me to Don Van Vliet (loooong story remind me to tell you it sometime). Denny was living in the Athens area at the time these boys were gigging and had just recorded this record. I was doing A&R for Rough Trade US on a tight leash and the remotely controlled Tea Bags in charge of the decision making process simply didn't "get" the Weeds.
Well, I sure did. Listening to them made me sure pant. A whole lot.
Robin Hurley and Geoff Travisty were far too preoccupied with vanishing yet another $100,000 in a row on the third future failing album by Soiled American, quite possibly the worst band comprised of the worst group of people that I'd ever been forcibly made to not only listen to but to watch "preform" as well. So I just continually nagged the fuck outta them about The Weeds and another Southern Rock Group that I thought I could make famous, Rein Sanction (looong story, remind me to tell you tell you it sometime). Just as I had figured my incessant nag, nag, nagging got me sent out of their earshot and onto an all my expenses paid Junket south of the Mason-Dixon Line to see the Beggar Weeds play (and as a side bonus, I got to meet Denny too.) and then on deeper into the swampy Florida brackish backwaters to see Rein Sanction play but mainly to meet the Gentry Brothers Mother, Barbara Jean Gentry, in order to reassure her of my good intentions on her boys and the overall safe handling of her Son's. However, I digress. More on the Rein Sanction Saga when y'all ask me to show and t
ell you that part later.
Back to my first stop in Athens and the Beggar Weeds. The guys were all great people. Deeply modest about what they were up to and certain that they were doomed to fail. When it became appallingly apparent that RTUS wasn't going to go anywhere with the band, I offered to put out an all new single on my No.6 Records label but they broke up right after they said "Yes". As far as I know, none of the three of them ever wrote another song or carried on in another group. What a shame. So much talent.
