The conservation methods used to conserve and protect the cultural heritage archeological site of Delos, in Greece are somewhat effective. Delos is a small island a part of Greece's Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. The site holds both cultural and architectural significance to the people of Greece through the depiction of Greek mythology and early-stage cultural infrastructure, as well as being a main hotspot for tourists. Unesco's method of inscribing it into its Cultural Heritage Act, protecting it under many laws, as well as receiving funding to enhance the environment can be seen as ineffective because they poorly distributed the finds and ignored conservation proposals given by the local government. However, archaeologists use innovative …show more content…
The island was first populated in the early Bronze Age around the sixth century BCE and was also an important centre for trade and commerce. Delos was invaded and ravaged twice, once in 88 BC by Mithridates, King of Pontus, an opponent of the Romans, and again in 69 BC by Athenodorus' pirates, who were Mithridates' allies. Soon after, the island's livability rapidly declined and became abandoned. Delos is seen as significant because its Hellenistic sanctuary had a significant influence on Greco-Roman architecture and monumental arts. Many pieces of art have contributed to archeologists' understanding of ancient Greek art. Delos has been a unique witness to Aegean civilisations since the third millennium BC. The archaeological site of Delos illustrates an architectural hub, which displayed a cosmopolitan Mediterranean port that thrived from 314 BC including warehouses, trading firms, residential areas, and many foreign religious sanctuaries. Delos is indistinguishably tied with a central story of Hellenic civilization, as it is where Leto gave birth to Apollo and …show more content…
In which UNESCO implements procedures, as an attempt Delos Unesco fails to efficiently protect and conserve Delos from climate change through its negligence of management proposals and poorly distributed funding. UNESCO enlisted Delos into its cultural heritage program in 1990, as a result, it also became inscribed into the provisions of Law 3028/2002. Which states “The protection afforded by the provisions of the present law covers the cultural heritage from ancient times up to present day”. This protection aims at preserving historical memory for present and future generations and enhancing the cultural environment.'' In 1994, four years after its inscription a conservation report was written, which stated that the archaeological site has been continuously excavated since the nineteenth century, but it is still subject to severe winds, excessive humidity, and the
Los Vendidos means the sell-outs. All the characters in the play sold-out at some point during the play. The characters sold out both their races and their way of life. I would say that the person who sold out the most was the Mexican-American because he sold-out both his Mexican, his American heritage and way of life. He wanted to be perfect, so when he found that the Americans and the Mexicans had their flaws he sold them out. He now has to search for a new and perfect race to identify with.
After Athena(Zeus’s favorite) had begged her father Zeus to free Odysseus from Calypso as he was becoming very depressed. Zeus had granted her wish and sent Hermes to free him. Hermes went to Calypso’s island, had given her Zeus’s message that was was to say goodbye to Odysseus forever, provided the gods wished it, and Odysseus wanted to see his family after 20 long years.
Nausicaa is described as a goddess, and this island is very close to the Gods’. This is important, because Phaeacia does not ever involve themselves in wars or conflict with any other communities or islands, and the people were very close to the Gods’ which is in contrast to Odysseus. For instance Odysseus is far from feeling close to the God’s, but as we learn, Athene is constantly helping him so he is involved with the God’s, and Poseidon made him go off course so he is very much involved with the Gods, just as Phaeacia is. On the other hand, we know that Odysseus is considered a “war hero” and spent ten years in conflict at Troy, before trying to return home, which is completely the opposite to the Phaeacian people. This book seems to be important also, because it contains one of the vital motifs in this story, of marriage.
Luis Valdez wrote “Los Vendidos” in order to address his view of the Mexican culture and in reference to the prejudices that surrounded him. The play defines four versions of Mexican men, shop owner Honest Sancho is trying to sell to a Secretary in Governor Reagan’s political office. The buildup of characters: The Farmworker, Johnny Pachuco, The Revolucionario, and the Mexican-American, symbolizes an evolution of what society deems the “ideal” Mexican-American should be. “Los Vendidos” translates to "The Sold Ones" or "The Sellouts” which is a solid interpretation of Valdez’s opinion on Mexican’s conformity to the American culture. Valdez creates a distinct characterization of all four models, Miss Jimenez, and Honest Sancho with snarky humor and stereotypes in order portray the front of exactly who is running the show in the Used Mexican Lot and Mexican Curio Shop.

In the years that follow Persia grows its empire. Then king Darius decides to force the Ionians to settle their differences by sending his son-in-law Mardonius to suppress the tyrants and set up a democracy. Along with those objectives Mardonius also had another motive for his trip. King Darius instructed him to “subjugate as many Greek towns as he could” (p. 338). Herodotus shows a big difference between his beliefs and the beliefs of most modern day historians while describing Mardonius’ journey. Herodotus gives a report of a wreck in Athos and says that those who did not drown were eaten because “the sea in the neighbourhood of Athos is full of monsters” (p. 338). This is contrary to what I think a modern day historian would say happened in this ship wreck. According to Herodotus this wreck does not stop the Persians from subduing the Brygi,a Macedonian tribe that attacked the Persian fleets. This account exemplifies the brute strength of the Persian army because even after a loss they are able to overpower a tribe of people. The Persians are known for their organization so it was only right that they return back to Asia in order to regroup after losing so much during the shipwreck and battle with the Brygi. The Persians battle tactics appear to involve large fleets of ships. These fleets include
Homer (fl. 850 B.C.). The Odyssey. The Harvard Classics. 1909-14). "In disguise as an old friend of Odysseus', Athena travels to his manor in Ithaka, now overrun with noisy, lustful suitor's intent on marrying Odysseus' wife, Penelope. Odysseus' son, Telemakhos, unhappy among the suitors, greets Athena warmly as a stranger and invites her to their feast. As the suitors devour Odysseus' oxen, Telemakhos says he believes his father - whom he does not know at all - is dead."(gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Titles/odyssey/summ1.html). "He is so unsure of his own identity that he refuses to affirm without qualification his relationship to Odysseus. Athena introduces herself as Odysseus' old friend Mentes and predicts that he will be home soon. Telemakhos matures from a callow, helpless youth into a stronger, more confident man" (Approaches to Teaching Homer's Iliad and Odyssey ). "Just as Odysseus' story is about returning home to his old identity, Telemakhos' is about forging a new one; as Athena tells him, "You are a child no longer"."(gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Titles/odyssey/summ1.html). As Telemakhos' develops from youth to man inspired by Athena, especially her favorable comparisons between him and his father; he stands up against the suitors in his assembly. "Failing in an attempt to get the Ithacans to help him to assert his rights, Telemakhos sets out for Pylus under the guidance of the goddess Athena, who is disguised as Mentes, a friendly chief.

Officially titled the Hellenic Republic, Greece is a country whose historical and cultural heritage continues to influence the modern world through art, philosophy and politics. Greece is located in southern europe. Critically placed at the byroads of Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. Greece shares land borders with four countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and the Republic of Macedonia. The country is greatly consumed by water to the south with over 1,400 islands, the largest of them being Crete. Over eighty percent of Greece is of mountains, the largest and most culturally significant being mount Olympus, which in Greek mythology is the resting place of the twelve olympians. Greece is a country which is filled with aesthetically pleasing landmarks which have existed for thousands of years and are deemed historically significant. These include, but are not limited to the Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens, Panathenaic stadium, Mount Athos, Sounion (where the temple of Poseidon lays), Temple of Hephaestus and Theatre of Dionysus. These are just a few of the influential landmarks this authentic country possesses.
Doli incapax is of Latin originality which means incapable of wrong. It is the doctrine that children are presumed incapable of committing a crime since they can’t differentiate between right and wrong; and thus, could not possess the mens rea (guilty mind or intent) required to prove guilt. This presumption of criminal incapacity has an irrebuttable and a rebuttable form depending on the age of the child.
Persian troops traveled across the Aegean Sea and landed in Naxos. They destroyed Naxos for its resistance in 499 B.C. and then went on to destroy Eretria. Athens hated the idea of tyranny being reinstated and were determined not to submit to the Persian forces. Instead the Athenians confronted the Persian at Marathon. Athens requested help from Sparta, but Sparta could not march until their religious observation was over.
Taking into consideration environment sustainability, the hotels are urged to operate under environmentally friendly conditions. Proper disposal of garbage prevents pollutions and as such Hotel A ensures that bins are strategically located on property as well as; arrangements are made with authorities to collect the garbage and dispose of it. Environmental force such as the weather plays a vital role, therefore the hotel has to plan for and prepare for natural disasters by training staff on proper measures to take, in the event; and providing guest safety. Like environmental force, the protection laws are very important and have to be obeyed or the hotel will be fined or closed. For example, when constructing on the beach in Negril, the government body; National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) states that no structure is allowed within 150 feet of the high water mark due to the presence of rocks. People are attracted to clean and safe environment; for both staff and guest, therefore if this factor is handled well by any company then it will have a positive impact on the
Plato gave the first and principal written account of Atlantis in his dialogues, “Critias” and “Timaeus”. In his description, Atlantis was a huge island located near the Straits of Gibraltar. In this island, there was a great empire which had flourished more than nine thousand years earlier. Atlantean residents had extraordinary intelligence. Their society was far more advanced than any other civilization at that time. The wealth of Atlantis was so unimaginable that even the walls were covered in gold. Furthermore, Atlantis had a huge trading network and a powerful navy. But with the passage of time, the Atlanteans became more and more arrogant, and they even wanted to rule the whole world. They were defeated by brave Athens soldiers. After that, fatal earthquakes and floods occurred in Atlantis; and in a single day and night, the island of Atlantis was swallowed up by the sea.
