As they explore the history and culture of ancient Greece
through its material remains with Classics professor Tom Falkner, the travelers
in the Jan Term study tour “McDaniel in Greece: Myths, Monks, and Monuments”
have encountered surprises – moments that have enriched their 18-day sojourn
abroad.
Caroline Babylon ’76, one of eight adults and 14 students on
the trip, sends back a photo a day. On day three, she shared a story with her
photo of a village priest…

December 12, 2012 The Ghost of
Berlusconi Rises Again Kevin E. Dayhoff
While Greece
wraps up a six-month effort to secure a new bailout payment, and Washington continues to fail to understand the
seriousness of its fiscal responsibilities, the world’s financial markets
wobbled earlier in the week when it saw the ghost of Italy ’s former Prime Minister
Silvio Berlusconi. http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5512

Athens, Greece, January 12 – Demonstrators once again took
to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in another of a long
series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have
rocked Greece since a worldwide economic downturn officially got underway in
December 2007.
It was four years ago – in 2009 – that Greece
kicked-off the year by announcing its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP,
more than four times the European Union's 3% limit. Greece was first admitted into the
EU in 1981, and in 2001 it joined the Eurozone… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566
[…]
Various recent news accounts indicate that unemployment
approaches 25 percent in Greece .
Pensions have been reduced and salaries slashed anywhere from 30 to 60 percent.
Meanwhile last Saturday began with signs
posted in the Metro that read: “Notice to Passengers. On Saturday 12/1/13,
stations, Penepistimio, Syntagma, will remain closed from 10:00 for safety
reason…”
Since 2010, Syntagma
Square has served as a barometer for rising civil
discontent over Greece ’s
ever-worsening economic crisis. In the past it has been the most popular locale
for mass protests and tent-city like occupations, some of which have turned
unexpectedly violent in which police have responded en masse with batons,
shields and tear gas...
On
Saturday, I witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past
the National Archaeological Museum ,
in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of
anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat-and-mouse theatrical
routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of
paramilitary shock riot-police.
