Ancient Pella | Flickr. Pella : mosaique et site archéologique. 2700 ans que l'une est macédonienne, 2300 ans que l'autre l'est après l'expansion territoriale de Philippe II et Alexandre le Grand, et après des périodes romaine, byzantine, ottomane, serbe et enfin yougoslave où le nom n'a jamais posé problème, maintenant qu'elle est indépendante, la Grèce est opposée au fait que la République de Macédoine porte le nom du royaume pour lequel elle fut conquise.

Et le traité qui a fixé les frontières il y a un siècle a décidé que la Macédoine historique serait partagée entre Grèce, Serbie, Bulgarie et que le berceau de la Macédoine (qui n'était alors ni grec ni serbe) serait en Grèce. Aucune revendication territoriale de chaque côté, mais des deux côtés de la frontière actuelle (sous les feux de l'actualité pour d'autres raisons), chacune voudrait être Macédoine.

Les Grecs ne sont pas les seuls qui persistent à l'appeler "Ancienne République Yougoslave de Macédoine". The Statues of the Loggia Della Signoria in Florence: Masterpieces Restored - Google Книги. Réalité Virtuelle: Pella - Représentation virtuelle de la "Maison de Dionysos" à Pella. La représentation en réalité virtuelle de la “Maison de Dionysos” à Pella créée par la Fondation du Monde Hellénique La reconstitution virtuelle de la “Maison de Dionysos” à Pella reprend la phase la plus ancienne du bâtiment (début de la période Hellénistique, fin du IVe s. av. J. -C.), situé au cœur d’une urbanisation ici simplifiée mais que l’on a replacé dans son environnement original.

La maison comprend deux grandes cours intérieures à péristyle dorique ; l'aile sud est surplombée d’un deuxième étage à péristyle ionique. Ces deux cours sont séparées par une aile centrale, dotée d’une entrée monumentale. Dans la partie réservée aux hommes, l’andrôn, on a reconstitué l’aménagement du symposium (banquet) avec des lits, des vases et autres objets, à partir de découvertes datant de la même période et mises au jour en Macédoine. La maison est reconstituée grâce aux publications issues des fouilles,et de détails architecturaux préservés dans des maisons voisines. Retour. Mosaics of the Greek and Roman World - Katherine M. D.

Despite the tragic ends of his affairs with Ariadne, Antiope, and Phaedra, Theseus had not yet given up on finding a suitable wife. This time, he aimed a little higher. Instead of an Amazon queen (Antiope) or a granddaughter of Zeus (Ariadne and Phaedra), Theseus chose to pursue a daughter of Zeus: Helen, a princess of Sparta who would soon become famous for sparking the Trojan War (see All's Not Fair in Love and War: The Fall of Troy). In this folly, he was strongly influenced by his new friend Peirithous, king of the Lapithae, a rugged tribe who lived in Thessaly (northeastern Greece). The son of Zeus or Ixion, Peirithous met Theseus after stealing a herd of his cattle from Marathon. Peirithous wanted to test the already legendary courage and strength of Theseus. Theseus stood by his friend's side on the day Peirithous married Hippodameia. Somehow, the two friends—perhaps due to their own divine parentage—got the notion that each should marry a daughter of Zeus.

Овдовелият цар на лапитите дълго скърбял за съпругата си, но след известно време решил да се ожени отново. Тръгнал на гости при своя приятел Тезей в Атина и там двамата намислили да отвлекат прекрасната Елена. Тя все още била съвсем младо момиче, но славата за красотата u се носела надалеч из цяла Гърция. Двамата приятели тайно пристигнали в Лакония. Там откраднали момичето, което по време на празника на Артемида танцувало и се веселяло със своите приятелки. Тезей и Пейритой хванали Елена и бързо я понесли към планините на Аркадия. Когато Елена се паднала на Тезей, Пейритой поискал от приятеля си да му помогне да отвлече от владетеля на царството на сенките – страшния бог Хадес, жена му Персефона.

The Pella mosaics The most important group of mosaics in Macedonia was found at Pella, capital of the kingdom from the beginning of the 4th century BC. The mosaics date to the end of the 4th century BC, and were found mainly in two houses of the city, the "House of Dionysos" and the "House of the Abduction of Helen" where they adorned the floors of the formal rooms. Their depictions belong to two categories: those with simply a geometric decoration covering the entire surface of the floor, and those with representative subjects, such as hunts, Amazonomachy (battle of Amazons) and others.
