		<description><![CDATA[If anyone is offended or under the legal age, should look away now! A few years ago I visited the Erotic Museum in Paris. The museum is a dark place hidden away from the eyes of mainstream tourists. I found out about it from another numismatist. For those of you who are wondering, I was looking for inspiration for my research, since back then I was determined to embark into a long and fruitful trip into the study of ancient sexualities! I lost my interest very soon, since my love remains firmly in numismatics. As I took the trouble of getting the photos, I thought I should share some of them with you. At the time I was focusing on the positioning of the collection within the museum, so I took a lot of photos of the signs. I would spare you the details in this post and I will include only the pottery. Ancient Greek Cup with erotic scene that reveals itself after you finish your drink! Perfect for Athenian symposia! &#160; Priapos is the obvious male god of fertility. The massive member on the pot is eagerly worshipped in front of an altar! I was always infatuated with Roman lamps and their erotic scenes. As an undergraduate I made infinite lists of them. Back then there was no classification or serious study on the topic. The task was so onerous that I gave up a few months later! More erotic scenes on pottery destined for the symposium This ancient orgy is depicted on the outside of the cup for easy visual access! A conglomeration of artefacts that takes the trained eye some time to disentangle]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The current economic crisis in Greece led to unprecedented conditions of poverty. I watched many times people who look for food in the dustbins. The most fortunate ones changed their cooking habits and they employ inferior ingredients. Indicative of the situation is the fact that the most popular best seller in Greece is a cookbook, which includes recipes from the German Occupation period. This is why I was so surprised to see the following article in the Greek Reporter http://greece.greekreporter.com/2013/04/12/students-learn-ancient-greek-diet/ . According to the journalist &#8220;Pork with plums, stuffed pork, pork belly with sweet and sour sauce with honey, thyme and vinegar, accompanied by chickpeas paste, chicken with coarsely ground barley and swordfish with berry sauce, are only some of antiquity’s recipes showing that the ancient Greek cuisine was in all respects gourmet! The students of the 2nd Vocational Education School of Giannitsa, in northern Greece, discovered this side of the diet in ancient Greece, with the help of Chef George Palisidis, researcher in the Department of the Science of Dietetics-Nutrition of Harokopio University, in the context of the program, Ancient cultivation and flavors. Dimitris Evaggelidis was the scientist responsible for the project&#8230;&#8221; I guess there is still interest in ancient gourmet cuisine at school, even if there is little to eat at home.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple of years I devoted most of my time in the promotion of ancient history and classical studies. I have always been proud of my classical heritage and that was one of the reasons I have chosen to dedicate myself to the study of the ancient world. I intend to continue publishing online as well as in the form of books or articles for as long as I shall live. I would like to apologise in advance but I will need to expand my interests to modern Greece. There is a possibility that I will include here the occasional post on the situation my friends and family are facing back home. I can no longer pretend that everything will be fine in the near future. I can no longer stay behind closed doors, while the people I love the most fight for their survival on a daily basis. I can no longer hide behind ancient Greece when modern Greece is on the verge of destruction. And I need your help. I have started a campaign to inform people abroad of the situation in Greece. I am tired of the lies, the distortions, the accusations and the insults. Yes, insults! I have never had to face so many of them in my entire life! So, I started a facebook page that will include newspaper and blog articles on the causes and effects of the Greek crisis. Please, read the material and join the discussion there. I promise I will be as impartial as I can be! You can find the page here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Solidarity-with-Greece/179625265479242 Thank you in advance for your help.]]></description>
