Regular Members reside in Athens, using Loring Hall as their home base, throughout the nine-month academic year (September through May). Students receive comprehensive training through visits to the principal archaeological sites and museums of Greece as well as in seminars led by resident and visiting scholars. They also have the option to take part in the training program at the Corinth excavations. The Regular Member program is directed by the Mellon Professor who oversees and mentors the student members. Eligibility: Regular Membership is open to citizens of the United States or Canada who are graduate students at a college or university in those countries, or to non-citizens enrolled in a graduate program at a cooperating institution.

Free online Hellenic Research Fellowship Program lecture, Nov. 14

by Paganelis, George I

Dear Friends of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, You are cordially invited to attend a live Zoom talk on Tuesday, Nov. 14, by our current Hellenic Research Fellow, Dr. Tomos Evans. (The event will be recorded and archived on the Hellenic Research Fellowship Program (HRFP) page at https://library.csus.edu/tsakopoulos-hellenic-collection/hrfp. See the relevant event details below. Title: "The First English Philhellene? John Milton and Advocating Greece's Liberation in the Seventeenth Century" Abstract: In this lecture, Dr. Tomos Evans will share his ongoing research for a chapter titled '"When the Greeks Ceased to be Greek": John Milton and Early Modern Greece' of his monograph-in-progress, Milton's Hellenism. This chapter largely explores John Milton's relationship with the Greek diplomat and scholar, Leonard Philaras. He will share his archival research from the Netherlands, Italy, and the UK on Philaras and demonstrate the ways that his research on Early Modern Greece has been benefitted by the resources of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection at California State University, Sacramento. This lecture will explore Philaras's network (ranging from Venice to Moscow) and his extraordinary efforts to bring about a revolutionary uprising in Ottoman-ruled Greece. In turn, Dr Evans will explore the developments of Milton's political Philhellenism and the vital role that Philaras played in changing Milton's attitudes towards contemporary Greeks.

Notification re Red Heifer Press

by Sholem Gimpel

BS"D Dear List Moderator: Please note that, owing to problems with my previous webhost, undisclosed interferences with my previous website, (redheiferpress.com), and unauthorized deactivation of my business email (editor(a)redheiferpress.com), Red Heifer Press has now moved to redheiferpress.company.site . Our Red Heifer Press is the publisher of a beautiful bi-lingual edition of Iossif Ventura's TANAIS (see below). My recently published "polymorophic novel," *Turning Back the River Speaks* (see below) presents, among other things, a revealing expose of classical studies in the USA, as well as an original perspective on Philodemus and a philosophical examination of the problem of ancient text preservation. Please note that, to my knowledge, two other *unrelated websites* have imitated my business name and logo for their own *unrelated purposes*. I am informed that one of them ("Red Heifer Publishing") is permanently closed, yet its website still appears first in a google search for Red Heifer Press! The other, ("Red Heifer Media") claims to be a PR firm with no purposeful connection to book publishing. Again, we emphatically disavow any connection to either "Red Heifer Publishing" or "Red Heifer Media." Many thanks for your attention to this important notice. With best wishes, Sholem (Peter) Gimpel Red Heifer Press 661-822-3438 (PDT) redheiferpress.company.site [image: image.png]TANAIS: Kyklonio & Tanaïs. Two Poem Cycles Commemorating the Holocaust of the Jewish Community of Crete. $14.95 First Bilingual Edition: Modern Greek & English By Iossif Ventura. Just over 70 years ago, on June 9, 1944, the German merchant vessel *Tanaïs* was torpedoed by a British submarine off the coast of the Greek Island of Crete. The freighter was carrying 900 prisoners of war destined for the slave camps and crematoria of mainland Europe. All prisoners perished in the attack—among them, 299 Jews (men, women and children) comprising virtually the entire Jewish Community of Crete. Among the handful of Jews who evaded capture was the family of a small child named Iossif Ventura. Iossif survived to become a nationally renowned poet. Red Heifer Press is very honored to present the English-speaking world with the first bilingual edition of *Tanaïs* & *Kyklonio,* in which the original Modern Greek is accompanied by a powerful English translation that is the collaborative effort of several distinguished poets, scholars and critics. Iossif Ventura lives the echoing void left by friends, playmates, cousins, uncles and aunts, in a small town haunted by his uprooted Jewish Heritage. These poems stand out among all the poetry of the Holocaust for their eloquent tone, tempered grief, and surrealistic imagery. They are beautifully moving poems, a worthy memorial to the small but ancient Community that for at least 2300 years played an integral role in the economic and cultural life of the Island—a Community that was wiped out in one fatal hour that must never be forgotten. REVIEWS: "Harshly realistic and softly surrealistic by turns, Kyklonio & Tanais is both a dirge and a love song. It sails unflinchingly through the waves of pain and grief that the poet feels over the loss of his culture while gazing back fondly on a warm people who managed to blend Jewish and Greek heritage into an embracing and seamless whole." --Chris Leppek, *Intermountain Jewish News* “Transcendent revelation traverses the poetry of Iossif Ventura, a feeling of everyday sacredness, the sacredness of life, transcendent revelation. This sense of the *sacre* of the historical moment extends throughout Ventura’s poetry, giving it a certain rhythm, a musical movement interwoven with biblical rhetoric not that far from the solemn dithyrambs of [legendary Greek poet] Andreas Kalvos.” —Alexis Ziras, Founding Member and past Vice-Chairman and President of the Hellenic Authors Society. "Anglophone readers certainly have every reason to be grateful to Red Heifer Press for making this important Greek Jewish voice accessible. " - Mark Glanville, *Jewish Review of Books* Turning Back The River Speaks: a Polymorphic Novel of Music, Mischief & Murder, by Peter Gimpel $16.95 [image: image.png] Product Details A young scholar on a career path involving the preservation of ancient texts investigates the long-forgotten disappearance of the pretty coed who once loved him. The search leads him into amazing discoveries and a *grave* predicament. Couched in an unpredictable yet carefully organized itinerary of interrelated themes and motives,* Turning Back The River Speaks* is a blistering social satire with far-reaching implications for the reconstruction of an American self-awareness. REVIEWS: "Unpredictability and suspense in the hands of the right author lend a story the elements of anticipation and surprise that keep readers turning pages, and in this book Gimpel is the right author. As he has done in his previous works, Gimpel conjures fantastical and mystical elements brilliantly, weaving them in and out of realism deftly and cleverly. The author's "polymorphic" approach to story and theme is an ambitious undertaking indeed, and it is a tribute to Gimpel's skill and vision that he pulls it off." --Chris Leppek, *Intermountain Jewish News*,

Scarborough Fellowships for Study/Research/Opportunities in Greece

by Alicia Dissinger

*WILLIAM SANDERS SCARBOROUGH FELLOWSHIPS* Deadline: January 15, 2024 This fellowship is intended to honor and remember Professor William Sanders Scarborough and to help foster diversity in the fields of Classical and Hellenic Studies and the Humanities more broadly by supporting students and teachers from underrepresented groups in their study and research at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. *William Sanders Scarborough* (1852–1926), the son of an enslaved woman and a freedman, was a pathbreaking African American Classical scholar and public intellectual. Scarborough’s scholarship included philological works on Greek and Roman authors, as well as studies of African languages and African American folklore. His First Lessons in Greek (1881) was the first foreign language textbook by an African American author. He taught at Ohio’s Wilberforce University and Payne Theological Seminary, serving as Wilberforce’s president from 1908–1920. At least twice in his life (1886 and 1896), Scarborough hoped to attend the American School, with the encouragement of the School’s Managing Committee. Lack of funding, coupled with his many professional responsibilities, kept Scarborough from realizing his dream of going to Greece. *Eligibility*: Open to graduate students, faculty members (K-12 and all levels of post-secondary education), and independent scholars residing in the United States or Canada (regardless of citizenship) whose geographic origin, diverse experiences, and socio-economic background are underrepresented at the School (including persons from the Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color communities). The fellowship is designed for such applicants whose studies, research, or teaching would benefit from residency at the School. Fellowship recipients need not be specialists in the field of Classical Studies. The School welcomes applicants from faculty of K-12 schools and from students or faculty from public and private universities, colleges, and community colleges; and encourages applications from Historically Black Colleges and Universities. *Terms and Duration*: The fellowship supports up to three months in residence at the School to carry out proposed research projects, to join the School’s academic programs (field trips and seminars during the academic year, excavations at the Agora or Corinth, ASCSA summer travel programs, scientific field schools, etc.), and/or to develop knowledge, resources, and collegial networks to enhance their teaching. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Programs Administrator well in advance of submitting their proposal for advice on matching the resources and opportunities of the School to their needs and interests. Fellowship winners will be paired with ASCSA mentors who can assist them in planning and preparing for their time in Greece. Applicants intending to use the fellowship to participate in an ASCSA summer program must submit the Scarborough application AND a separate application to the relevant program(s) of interest. Applicants wishing to use the Scarborough fellowship to offset costs of participation in the Regular Member academic program of the School must also apply directly for Regular Membership (deadline Jan. 15, 2024); admission to the Regular Program requires that applicants write an examination in mid-February. The fellowship may not be held concurrently with Regular Member Fellowships. The fellowship may not be held remotely; residency in Athens is required. Awards granted in the January 2024 competition must be used between June 1, 2024 and May 30, 2025. Each award provides for $1500 per month (rounded upwards to the nearest whole month to a maximum of 3 month) as a stipend. The fellowship provides room and board at Loring Hall, a waiver of any applicable School fees (including summer program course fees), and one roundtrip economy-class airfare to Athens. Meals, Monday through Friday, are provided at Loring Hall for the fellow. The cost of participation on trips during the academic year is not covered (costs are billed in Athens after each trip). Meals or incidental expenses outside Loring Hall are not covered by the fellowship. The School intends to make up to four awards each year. *Application*: Submit an online application here, https://ascsa.submittable.com/submit/171376/william-sanders-scarborough-fel…. A complete application will include: - A 2-page, single-spaced, statement indicating your eligibility, describing the proposed use of the fellowship including any formal program at the School you plan to apply for, the proposed timeframe for your work at the School (this includes proposed dates of attendance), and your project or research goals (as applicable). Please note that you may only change the proposed dates of attendance indicated on your application, after acceptance, with approval from the School’s administration. Due to limited housing space, we may not be able to accommodate requested changes to the proposed dates. - A curriculum vitae. - A copy of current transcripts for student applicants (scans of official transcripts are acceptable). - Arrange for two letters of recommendation. Recommenders will be asked to upload their letters via the online application system, Submittable. Upon submission of the online application, recommenders will be sent an automated email with instructions about how to submit their letters of recommendation. Or, applicants may choose to send the request at any time by clicking the "Send Request Now" button on the online application form.

The 2024 Summer Session runs from June 10 to July 24, 2024, and its Directors are Professor Amelia R. Brown, of the University of Queensland, and Professor Amy C. Smith, of the University of Reading. Format: The ASCSA Summer Session has provided extensive exposure to Greece, ancient and modern, for generations of students of Classics and related fields. It has a strong academic component with participants researching and presenting topics on site and offers unique opportunities to interact with eminent archaeologists in the field. Roughly half of the session is spent in travel throughout Greece. Three trips give participants an introduction to the major archaeological sites and museum collections throughout the country. The remainder of the session is devoted to study of the museums and monuments of Athens and the surrounding area with day trips to such sites as Marathon, Sounion, and Eleusis. The Summer Session Program is designed to present a comprehensive view of Greece’s rich history and archaeology. Participants should expect long days at sites and museums, extensive walking on uneven and rocky terrain, and Mediterranean temperatures well above 30ºC/86ºF for extended periods without ready access to shade. Prospective applicants uncertain about their ability to participate in all program activities are encouraged to contact the ASCSA office for more information. Eligibility: Enrollment is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and to high school teachers and college/university faculty of Classics and related subjects. Enrollment is limited to twenty participants. The language of instruction is English. ASCSA SUMMER SEMINARS The Summer Seminars of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens are 18-day programs that focus on specific cultural themes, historical periods, or geographical regions. The Seminars are led by exceptional scholars of Classics and related fields. Under their direction, participants study texts, visit archaeological sites and museums, and engage with expert guest speakers in order to deepen their understanding of Greece’s landscape, history, literature, and material culture. For Summer 2024, the two seminars are: Warrior Sailors, Traders, and Pirates: Aegean Islands Through the Ages (June 17 to July 5, 2024) This seminar will discuss issues of insularity and connectivity in the Mediterranean, from the Bronze Age to the 20th century. Using a mix of chronological (e.g., Iron Age networks and colonization) and thematic approaches (e.g., raw materials and trade routes) the course explores the islands in their multifaceted cultural roles as places of inhabitation and worship, sources of desired raw materials, marketplaces, strategic locations during the wars –from the Delian League to World War II– as well as paradise destinations of modern tourism. The course will spend time around Athens and Euboea, the Cycladic islands, and Crete. Taught by Professors Emilia Oddo (Tulane University) and Bice Peruzzi (Rutgers University). Alexander to Actium: The Archaeology of Hellenistic Greece (July 11 to July 29, 2024) This age of cultural globalization that followed in the wake of Alexander’s campaigns saw great developments in science, medicine, literature, art, and political organization. In Greece these developments played out under the clouds of state violence and imperialism as foreign powers fought for control of Greece or fought each other in Greece for control of more expansive Mediterranean empires. Participants will explore the material remains of the programs of construction and commemoration, explore how foreign powers exploited important routes and garrisoned strategic areas to transform Greece into a landscape of control, and explore the ways in which varied Greek polities negotiated these transformations by exploring the history and archaeology of Northwest and Central Greece. Taught by Professors Jake Morton (Carleton College) and Thomas C. Rose (Randolph-Macon College). Internationally known scholars of Greek history, art, and archaeology will participate as guest lecturers in both seminars. Students are expected to give on-site reports, which they will prepare in their home libraries before the program begins. The program is designed to present a comprehensive view of Greece’s rich history and archaeology. Participants should expect long days at sites and museums, extensive walking on uneven and rocky terrain, and Mediterranean temperatures well above 30ºC/86ºF for extended periods without ready access to shade. Prospective applicants uncertain about their ability to participate in all program activities are encouraged to contact the ASCSA office for more information. Eligibility: Enrollment is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students, as well as to high school and college/university teachers of classics and related subjects. Each seminar is limited to twenty participants. The language of instruction is English.
