This is a story set in ancient Greece. It starts off as a love story between Greek God Hermes and a slave girl Althea. Hermes seduces Althea in her dreams for many nights until they both fall in love with each other. Reports are presented to the goddess of witchcraft Hecate by the three Furies, Hypnos who was the god of sleep and his brother Thanatos who was the persona of death. They complain to Hecate about Hera’s acts of vengeance against innocent victims and had come to her for a solution. Hecate in turn goes to Drako an ancient dragon of wisdom who reveals a way to punish Hera, which was to strip her of her immortality and powers and to also serve as a new dawn of judgment for all the other gods who had committed their own atrocities. Hera who always punished all those who spoke against her punished Althea for being disrespectful to her by banishing her to be imprisoned at the floor of Poseidon’s realm, at the bottom of the sea, while enduring labour pains. She also grants Althea immortality to ensure she endures this punishment for eternity. Punishing Althea was also her way of punishing Hermes for always helping Zeus’ adulterous ways. All the gods were put to sleep for a thousand years in preparation for the judgment process Hecate began, while mankind evolved and the ancient keepers took over the duties of the gods in the shadows. Eventually the gods awaken from their slumber, Althea is rescued but her children die after birth and she also joins them soon after causing Hermes to boil in rage and seek revenge against Hera. Hermes leaves Althea’s soul in the care of Persephone and Hades in the underworld, and in her time with them she finds incredible strength and sheds every shred of cowardice and rallies up millions of souls from the underworld to match on Olympus to demand the right of Callarum which will give her the right to fight Hera physically on equal footing, in accordance with ancient laws. While enforcing the right of Callarum, Hecate’s instrument of justice arrives on Olympus and punishes Hera severely and gives a mild punishment to the other gods to remind them of the other of things.

Europe is more than a bloc of nations. It is also a collection of regions. Most regions radically differ from their respective countries. National and global trends are not felt the same way in all regions. While some regions lead, some others lag behind these trends, i.e. some regions maintain low unemployment rates despite a global downturn. As a result, the disparities between regions are far greater than the differences between countries. The ability of regional economies to withstand competition and to manage change is related to their capacity to innovate. The Regional Programmes of Innovative Actions were the European Union’s and probably the world’s first ever capacity building exercise for regions. The regions were given the chance to develop a holistic regional innovation strategy, to directly manage their allocated budget and engage for the first ever time in direct contact with the EU. Furthermore, regions were encouraged to better learn and comprehend the value of sustainable growth in the knowledge economy era. The Showcasing Innovative Greece publication, presents both first and second generation programmes with particular emphasis to their categorisation according to four different typologies (i.a. regional economic activity, overall innovation performance, trade globalisation regional innovation index, sectoral specialization of regions). They aimed to become an innovative energy boost for Greek regional economies. Their accumulated experience could serve as a beacon and example for other remote regions with less favourable circumstances. [more]

The papers that have been brought together in these small volumes are the results of three several journeys made by my father in Greece and Italy. He visited Greece for the first time in 1877, but of the papers written in that year, which appeared in the Saturday Review, only those on Corfu have been reprinted. They form part of the volume of Sketches from the Subject and Neighbour Lands of Venice, in the preface to which work the hope was held out that some out of many papers on the more distant Greek lands might one day be put together. It has been thought that these papers will not prove the less welcome that they must now lack the re-casting that my father would undoubtedly have given to them. Since his Greek journey was made, fresh light has been thrown on many points by the German excavations at Olympia as well as by those conducted by the Greeks themselves on the Athenian Akropolis, at Eleusis and elsewhere.

In 1957 the Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy left Egypt for five years, going to Greece when Constantinos A. Doxiadis asked him to join his organisation in Athens. Although Fathy was recognised as a proponent of nationalistic attitudes, he left Egypt at the time when it had just achieved its independence and when the British occupation had ended. Fathy justified his move to Greece as an opportunity to achieve more professional freedom elsewhere. Frustrated in his efforts to build in Egypt, he believed that it was more influential to build than to teach and that a building anywhere in the world, “would speak louder than lectures; and that if some completed project attracted international attention, it would eventually have an effect on Egypt”.
