Abstract The present paper offers a contextual analysis of the Lydian title šiwraλm(i)- of unclear semantics and compares it with the Greek title προήγορος ‘advocate, prosecutor’ found in a Greek inscription from Ephesus. Both titles have in common that they refer to officials related to the cult of Artemis in Ephesus and Sardis. The comparative analysis yields new information on the cult of the goddess and contributes to our understanding of the Lydian lexicon.

Abstract During the years 2007 to 2014 a few more Linear A documents were discovered in excavations on the Kastelli Hill at Khania. From the Greek-Swedish- Danish Excavations three fragments of Linear A tablets were found as well as a possible un-inscribed roundel. Two of the Linear A tablets consisted only of two and three sign respectively while the third tablet, KH 104 consisted of three lines where the GRA sign (AB 120) was found in combination with another sign not previously attested in the Linear A corpus. The new roundel from the Greek Katre 1 Excavations, KH Wc 2124, is - with an inscription (AB 61) and seal impressions - well-known from Khania. It does, however, display a few unusual features both physically and in the execution of the sign. All the documents are likely to be of LM IB date, even though they were found in later contexts.

This presentation examines the liturgical music practices of the Evangelical Baptist Church in Tbilisi (Georgia). Though predominantly ethnic Georgians, the Baptists are a moderate voice for gender equality, religious pluralism, and minority rights, and are sometimes criticized by conservative or nationalistic Orthodox Georgians as a result. My research has encompassed observation during religious services, in-depth interviews, a comparative approach, complex analysis, and intonational analysis. The liturgical music of the Tbilisi Baptists differs considerably from that of Evangelical Baptist churches in other parts of Georgia or other countries. This comes partially as a result of the ideology of this relatively new religious stream, which, in order to facilitate the adaptation of the inexperienced congregation, allows services to be based on national, traditional features. The liturgy, music, and acts of divine service are based on principles established by Archbishop Malkhaz Songulashvili, including the principles of ecumenical “openness” and the synthesis of traditional Georgian values. The music heard in the Georgian-speaking Evangelical Baptist Church today includes the following: Georgian Orthodox chants; chants composed by the present Georgian Orthodox Patriarch, Ilia II; chants from the Taizé Monastery; other foreign repertoires translated into Georgian; Georgian professional music, and experimental electro-acoustic music. The liturgical music of the Evangelical Baptists in Tbilisi is mixed, experimental, and in the process of compilation, and has not yet reached a finalized form.

This article studies the spatial lexical item “Northern Country” that seemingly acquired an ideological character in historically crucial periods of the Georgian monarchy, that is, the 4th and 19th centuries. It attempts to overview the semanticization process of the concept “Northern Country” through analysis of historical literary works depicting the Christianization of Georgia on the one hand, and 19th century colonial period Georgian poetry on the other, as well as define literary strategies that furnished the spatial marker with national stereotypical meaning. The research is based on the theoretical foundations of the study of national self-imagery. In the given context, literature represents a medium of public awareness.

The present article is an attempt to synthesize the existing interdisciplinary knowledge on the concept of literary meaning, to argue for an alternative conception of textual meaning, and to analyze the meaning of a literary text in view of the “cluster conception” – an alternative conception about the nature of text and textual meaning – introduced by Anders Pettersson. Accordingly, the meaning of a literary text is considered as a mental construct comprised of author’s meaning, readers’ meanings and commentators’ meanings. It discusses the author’s and the reader’s involvement in a dynamic communication as a process in which meaning is not identified, as is generally conceived, but construed through experiencing and interpreting a complex of signs. This article argues that since “cluster conception” refers to verbal communication in general, it can offer a new perspective to focus on the specific nature of meaning-making in literary communication. It stresses the importance of describing the reader’s cognitive and emotive response to the “otherness” and singularity of a literary work, explicated by Derek Attridge, not as property of the latter, but as an event taking place in reception.

Abstract The Mycenaean term ma-ka is recorded on tablets from Thebes, mostly belonging to the Fq series. Even though its interpretation has been broadly investigated, it still lacks a widely shared alphabetic reading. This paper provides a 1st millennium Greek parallel, and such proposal has been made both taking into account previous studies on the subject as well as approaching the whole question from a different point of view. Results emerging from this hypothesis are then used to further clarify certain content aspects of the tablets attesting ma-ka as well as to cast new light on other related controversial issues

Abstract The article attempts to restore the socio-cultural context of four inscriptions found on various artifacts in graves from the mound necropolis at Duvanlii in Thrace (present day Bulgaria) dating back to the 5th century BC. They are written with a different technique - the erroneously transmitted graffito written in early Attic alphabet on the bottom of a plate ΙΠΠΟΜΑΧΣ, the depinti KOAΣ and ΚOMOΣ on a red-figure hydria, and the Thracian anthroponym ΔΑΔΑΛΕΜΕ engraved on four silver vases. The author focuses both on the interpretation of the single inscriptions (especially the placement of ΔΑΔΑΛΕΜΕ in a series with other known Thracian names, as well as with the newly published from Zoni) and on the contact zone of Thracians and Greeks in Thrace and Samothrace, whose specifics can explain the considered graphical practices.
