Kerr, Canadian Field Artillery 1917<\/em>.\u00a0 From Seaforth, Ontario, Kerr\u2019s university education was put on hold when he enlisted but he later earned degrees at Oxford and the University of Toronto.\u00a0 He knew something of the classical world.\u00a0 In his vivid memoir he likens attitudes of the audiences of gladiatorial combats in the amphitheatres to the spectacles of the airplane battles in the sky.\u00a0 He recalls Herodotus\u2019 account of Xerxes\u2019 soldiers at Thermopylae, and elsewhere in telling of rumours about preparations for an attack, Kerr likens himself to the historian, \u201cI affirm, with Herodotus, that it is my duty to report what I have heard, but not necessarily to believe it.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0But it was his reminder of Homer that really made me pause for a while.\u00a0 Kerr describes the early morning sky over Vimy Ridge: \u201cFinally, a trace of a lightening in the east, gradually changing to a faint glow while the stars and moon paled; streaks of colour which made me think of Homer\u2019s rosy-fingered Dawn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Travels to an Antique Land<\/h2>\n<p><a name=\"Travel\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2676\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 160px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2676 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Susan-Photo-160x200.jpg\" alt=\"Professor Susan Downie\" width=\"160\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Susan-Photo-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Susan-Photo-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Susan-Photo.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Susan-Photo-360x450.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Susan-Photo-200x250.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Susan Downie<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Susan Downie who teaches Greek language, history, and art and archaeology at Carleton travels as often as she can to the Mediterranean. This past spring she was again on the island of Crete to visit as many sites as she possibly could in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crete 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you ever get a chance to travel to Crete, go.\u00a0For almost 30 years now, it has been my favourite part of Greece and every time I arrive on the island I remember why.\u00a0 Busy cosmopolitan cities and small hillside villages filled with warm and generous people, delicious food, majestic mountains, some of the most spectacular beaches on the planet and, of course, fascinating sites from every period of human history.<\/p>\n<p>I spent just 11 days on Crete in June as research during my sabbatical, visiting sites that I teach about in many classes.\u00a0Do I admit that it was a huge relief not to travel with a bus load of students and have to lecture at every site upon arrival?\u00a0 Just rent a car and drive up every tiny mountain road \u2014 not to mention several goat tracks \u2014 impassable for a tour bus, hop a few farm fences, walk for about half an hour and there you are.<\/p>\n<p>Even traveling with a fellow aficionado of Minoan culture my original itinerary was overly ambitious: 50 sites in 9 days with a rental car.\u00a0 That did not take into account the logistics of hiking up to numerous, inaccessible high mountain sites \u2013 like the Late Bronze Age refuge town of Karphi \u201cThe Nail\u201d in eastern Crete or the peak sanctuary of Vrysinas, high above the Mycenaean cemetery of Armeni and city of Rethymno.\u00a0 Nor did it include getting lost on Psiloritis, Crete\u2019s highest mountain \u2014 well beyond the range of any GPS \u2014 when searching for the cave of Idaean Zeus.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Google wants you to drive right over the peak instead of going around to find the cave.\u00a0 We made it in the end (by going around), but had to skip the Minoan city of Zominthos on the way down.\u00a0 In the end, we made it to 30 sites \u2014 over half of which I had never seen before \u2014 and met several scholars working on Crete, both at the Villa Ariadne in Knossos and in the Lasithi plateau.\u00a0\u00a0 I came home with a renewed sense of awe at the resilience of humans to adapt and suit themselves to some of the most extreme and unusual landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>My interests lie primarily in the Bronze Age and with the Minoans, but we also visited Archaic, Classical and Roman sites, Turkish and Venetian forts, and memorials to Nazi occupation in World War II.\u00a0In recent years Crete has been the centre of major archaeological discoveries \u2014 stone tools from the Middle Paleolithic and fossilized human footprints 5.7 million years old \u2014 that may rewrite our understanding of the earliest hominid presence in Europe.\u00a0 So there are many reasons to go back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"cu-gallery clearfix\"><figure class='cu-gallery__items'><div

As Director of the British School, Humfry Payne was searching for a new site for the British School to investigate in the years leading up to its fiftieth anniversary, and he eventually decided on the site of the Heraion (i.e., the Temple of Hera) and the harbour at Perachora, a remote and little known site in the Peloponnese.\u00a0 Perachora (meaning \u201cthe country beyond\u201d) refers to its location across the Corinthian Gulf from the site of ancient Corinth.\u00a0 A lighthouse stands today on the bluff above the site as it did when Payne first went there, and it can be seen from Corinth.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2707\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 240px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2707\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-240x160.jpg\" alt=\"Perchora\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-160x106.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Perchora-6-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Perachora<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The village of Perachora is some ten kilometres from the site, and in the 1930\u2019s there was no road between them.

She also returned to Greece in 1953 and 1954, and woven in with the accounts of the actual excavations at Perachora are her memories of all those visits and travels.\u00a0Again and again she meets with the villagers of Perachora and others who describe their experiences in the Second World War, the guerilla war of 1946-1949, and the political conflicts and economic realities of the time.\u00a0\u00a0These accounts provide us, the readers, with personal descriptions of mid-twentieth century Greece, a time of considerable social change and disruption to people\u2019s lives.\u00a0 Powell talks of her personal conflicted reactions to the changes she hears of and observes.<\/p>\n<p>In her visits in the early fifties to Perachora, Powell relates an amusing account of a conversation with one of the villagers named Kostas, who, as a young man, helped out with the excavation. Kostas reminds her of a party held at the excavation site.\u00a0The language she uses to report his and others\u2019 accounts serves to make the stories even more alive for us because she turns the formally polite but rustic Greek of the villagers into a kind of archaically formal English:\u00a0 \u201cAt night it was, we ate, we drank, we danced \u2014 near one of the pits of the excavations we were, and thy husband the director fell in&#8230;.I too fell into the pit at the same time\u201d (p. 267).<\/p>\n<p>Powell also returned to the village of Mycenae in the fifties, staying again in \u201cThe Fair Helen,\u201d as she calls it (the famous Belle H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, which \u2014 interestingly \u2014 is still operating there today).\u00a0 She relates conversations with family members who own the inn, and she of course visits the grave of Humfry.\u00a0\u00a0 She never speaks directly of her deep sadness over the loss of her husband, but that sadness is profoundly felt by the reader:\u00a0\u201c&#8230;I asked myself once again after all the years whether I had been right to choose Mycenae.\u00a0\u00a0 And once again I thought that one could not have wished for a nobler grave\u201d (p. 151). \u00a0Powell also describes visiting the Tomb of Agamemnon at the archaeological site, and she remarks: \u00a0\u201cThrough the doorway of the tomb came the sounds of the world: \u00a0sheepbells, insects humming; life going on.\u00a0\u00a0 I felt calmed, I felt steadied as I walked back to the inn; I felt changed.\u00a0\u00a0 For the first time at Mycenae since Humfry\u2019s death I thought only of the future\u201d (p. 213).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2713\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/An-Affair-of-the-Heart-1-400x660-160x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/An-Affair-of-the-Heart-1-400x660-160x264.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/An-Affair-of-the-Heart-1-400x660-240x396.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/An-Affair-of-the-Heart-1-400x660.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/An-Affair-of-the-Heart-1-400x660-360x594.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/An-Affair-of-the-Heart-1-400x660-200x330.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><br \/>\nIn Plato\u2019s <i>Apology\u00a0<\/i>Socrates is reported to have remarked that the unexamined life was not worth living.\u00a0 Underlying Powell\u2019s accounts of her travels in Greece and of the people she meets is a journey of self-discovery.\u00a0 She writes: \u00a0\u201cWhen I search in my memory for the forms of the past it is as if I were leaning over a sea-pool among the rocks\u201d\u00a0 (p. 22).\u00a0This is especially evident in the last part of the book. Powell is invited as a journalist to join with the British School to report on an excavation at the site of Emporio on the island of Chios.\u00a0 She contrasts this experience with being part of the excavations at Perachora some twenty years earlier.\u00a0\u00a0 In her memories and insights, she seems to be able to come to a peaceful reconciliation with Perachora and all its associations and with Greece.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a lover of Greece, both of its ancient past and more recent history, and you are enthusiastic about classical archaeology, Dilys Powell\u2019s <i>An Affair of the Heart<\/i> will be a delight for you to read \u2014 and perhaps even to re-read many times.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Beer\u2019s Blog<\/h2>\n<p><a name=\"Beer\"><\/a><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2724\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-160x120.jpg\" alt=\"Josh Beer\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/grs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Josh-Beer-Picture-1-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>Josh has been very busy these past months. \u00a0Here in Ottawa under the auspices of the College of the Humanities he gave a dramatic reading on September 17<sup>th<\/sup>at the Fox and Feather Pub of Book 9 of the <em>Odyssey<\/em>, \u201cOdysseus and the Blinding of Polyphemus, the one-eyed Cyclops\u201d, once again using Peter Green\u2019s recent translation.\u00a0He then travelled to Athens at the invitation of the Canadian Institute in Greece where he gave a lecture on October the 17<sup>th<\/sup>entitled \u201cThe Athenian Plague and Eros as a Killer Virus in Euripides\u2019 <em>Hippolytus<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless he has still found time to compose another blog, the subject of which is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2018\/jan\/30\/mary-beard-the-cult-of\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">well-known classicist Mary Beard<\/a>.\u00a0 You may know of her not just from her books (e.g. <em>S.P.Q.R.\u00a0<\/em>and <em>Women &amp;
