Rivlin: Gush Etzion security barrier not needed now
Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin visits Gush Etzion 370 .
(photo credit:Avraham Fried)
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin called for the government to postpone continued
construction of the separation barrier, during a visit to Gush Etzion on
Monday."The planned path of the separation barrier is no longer
relevant," the Knesset speaker said. "It was planned under security
circumstances that no longer exist, and there is no need to revive
them."Rivlin toured the planned locations of the barrier in the Gush
Etzion region of the West Bank with local authority leaders.Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to make a decision about the barrier's
path in the coming days."Building the barrier will create a new
diplomatic front and cause distress to Jewish and Arab residents," Rivlin
stated.The Knesset speaker said an agreement with the Palestinians will
come from coexistence, and that shopping at the Gush Etzion Junction is a great
example of that."We are in one land, and we must continue to develop
ways to live together, rather than separate from one another," he
added.Rivlin said Netanyahu should reconsider implementing the plans for
the barrier, because it was not built when it was needed, in 2003, and that the
cost would be over NIS 1 billion.The construction of the 40-km. barrier
was halted in 2011 due to budgetary considerations as well as legal challenges
in the High Court of Justice, according to an internal Defense Ministry document
obtained by Army Radio at the time.Gush Etzion Local Council chairman
Davidi Perl pointed out that the planned barrier would surround Gush Etzion,
saying it would cut the region off from Jerusalem, Hebron and the Cave of the
Patriarchs.In addition, Perl said, the barrier would harm coexistence
with Palestinians, calling the plans "intolerable.""Hebron and Nablus
are flourishing and there is unusual economic development in the region," South
Hebron Local Council chairman Tzviki Bar-Hai stated. "It would be a shame for
the barrier to ruin what was built with hard work."Jerusalem Post staff
contributed to this report.

FOUR-WEEK-OLD Lexie was allowed to return home from hospital yesterday after being treated for five days for a mystery illness.
FOUR week old Lexie was rushed to a specialist unit at Glasgow's Yorkhill Hospital after falling ill at the weekend.
CELTIC had control of the game from first minute to last and produced one of their performances of the season so far in the Highlands.
BRITTAIN has talked down the Highlanders' chances ahead of their lunchtime encounter at home tomorrow and says that the toiling Hoops have 'world class players throughout their squad."
CHRIS reckons Celtic can cut it in Europe - but only if they tighten up their act and stop being sloppy.
THE former Celtic star and Daily Record columnist says that with the Scottish Premiership already won his old club should concentrate on putting together a run in Europe.
READ Keith Jackson's match report as Ronny Deila's side drop into Europa League after desperately poor performance.
CALLUM McGREGOR was again the Hoops' Euro hero as he hit a crucial away goal to send the Scottish champions into next week's second leg at Parkhead as favourites.
McGREGOR hit an early goal in last night's 1-1 draw against Maribor in Slovenia as Deila tore up his trademark attacking game plan after the walloping in Warsaw.
THE Scottish champions drew 1-1 away from home in Slovenia and had more than enough chances to win the match during the 90 minutes.
INJURIES picked up by Forrest and Matthews put a dampner on the Hoops' demolition of United ahead of the crucial Champions League qualifier against Maribor on Wednesday.
CELTIC may have won a Champions League reprieve today but CRAIG says the player recruitment model is in urgent need of repair.
RONNY Deila's side capitulate after going down to 10 men with Legia Warsaw unlucky not to rack up an even more emphatic victory after missing TWO penalties.
FORMER Scotland No.1 makes his Celtic debut as Ronny Deila stretches his unbeaten record as Parkhead manager to six games.
THE Swedish defender says there was no danger of him quitting Celtic in the summer and was delighted to sign up for another three years.
THE Swedish full-back says the team's first impressions of the new Parkhead manager has inspired a lot of confidence.
THE defenders spoke of their delight after agreeing new deals which tie them down to the Scottish champions until 2017.
KEANE was on the training ground with Ireland in Malahide this morning as Lawwell confirmed Celtic's interest before adding there are as many as 10 names still in the frame to replace Neil Lennon.
THE Sweden international paid tribute to departed boss Neil Lennon, who signed him from Rosenborg in January 2012.
SCOTLAND Under-17 full-back McIlduff was down and almost out before Beram Kayal and Mikael Lustig helped him along the way. Anthony Haggerty reports from Malta.
THE late collapse in Perth cost Celtic their target of a 100 league points and although Neil Lennon was not happy, he said that he couldn't be too hard on his players.
NEIL LENNON'S side were 3-1 up and cruising until they threw away two goals in the closing stages. Read Gary Ralston's match report and watch the video highlights.
THE Swedish ace has confirmed he's desperate to extend his stay at Parkhead and has opened talks with the club over a new contract.
THE 27-year-old Sweden international was out for four months after going under the knife and his rehabilitation was completed when he came on as a second-half substitute at the weekend.
PFA Player of the Year hopeful Fraser Forster believes his teammate and fellow nominee Virgil van Dijk has the class to move on to one of Europe's top leagues.
AFTER almost three-months in rehabilitation following surgery to shave bone from both of his hips the Swede has taken his first steps to returning to the training pitch.
A GRIFFITHS hat-trick helped Celtic bounce back from the defeat to Aberdeen to thrash Inverness in this Scottish Premiership clash.
THE 19-year-old believes the Hoops strong back-four will not fear going up against Scotland international Boyd - who has only scored once against the Parkhead outfit - and hopes to continue his side's 22 game unbeaten run.
THE Celtic manager has again dipped into the Scandinavian market for his latest signing and he hopes Norwegian Johansen can make the same impact as defender Lustig.
LUSTIG underwent surgery last month to cure a problem which had been hampering him all season - and now reveals the full extent of that agony.

Congress and the president purchased time with their deal to end the federal government shutdown after 16 days and avoid, literally at the last possible moment, a credit default that would have blocked the government's ability to borrow money and likely sent global stock markets plunging.
The legislation signed by the president shortly after midnight Thursday finances the government only through Jan. 15 and lifts the debt ceiling through Feb. 7.
Whether President Obama and lawmakers can use that time to achieve substantive policy achievements that improve the long-term deficit outlook could come down to the Republican leadership's willingness to again allowing the House of Representatives to vote.
President Obama sounded a hopeful note about the potential for bipartisan compromise. He talked of both sides cooperating on a long-term deficit mitigation plan, on overhauling immigration laws and approving a Farm Bill. The Senate weeks ago approved both immigration reform and a Farm Bill on bipartisan votes, only to see the initiatives stall in the House.
Unfortunately for the president's hopefulness, the dynamics in the House are unchanged. The legislation to fund the government and suspend the debt ceiling short term passed 285-144; the losing voters were all Republicans apparently willing to risk a global economic meltdown and continue the shutdown in their quixotic crusade to block the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). In the end, Republican Speaker Rep. John Boehner of Ohio needed the Democrats and a minority of reasonable Republicans to avoid calamity.
Nothing suggests Speaker Boehner can get those 144 votes for some future "grand bargain." They are not likely to support any deficit-reduction plan that includes tax increases as well as cuts, or one that cuts other than what they want to cut - chiefly the health care law. They cannot be counted on to accept any bill that provides a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who came to the country illegally, even if it comes with provisions to improve border security and better monitor those who arrive with visas, as the Senate bill does. Some even rejected the Farm Bill, because a subsidy to a working farmer is a form of welfare they will not tolerate.
Basically, they have no stomach for passing anything that could be perceived as an achievement for President Obama.
Elected in 2010 after the tea party uprising that resulted from frustration with the Democratic health insurance bill, corporate bailouts and rising debt, these tea party Republicans don't play by the traditional rules of Washington. Most represent carefully mapped districts that lean strongly conservative. Their only fear is losing a primary to a more conservative Republican. They deal in absolutes - against Obamacare, against immigration reform, against welfare, against Obama.
Yet mainstream Republicans, stung by the defeat and the political damage to the party brand caused by this group, should recognize the opportunity. President Obama has again put Medicare and Social Security benefit reductions on the table, recognizing changes to reduce the growing cost of these programs is necessary to assure their sustainability. Republicans should push him on it, at the same time inviting some Democratic infighting for a change as the liberal wing digs in to protect the entitlements.
Smart Republicans should recognize as well the potential to find a compromise that revises and simplifies the unmanageable and detested federal income tax system, long a party goal.
Passing an immigration bill could help rebuild GOP support among Latino voters, necessary if Republicans ever hope to win national elections.
Sensible Republicans in Washington will have to do it without many of the 144. Because if the leadership again allows the 144 to be in charge, nothing will happen, the crisis will resume in a couple of months, as will the damage to the economy, to trust in government, and to the Republican Party.

George Cowan, Nuclear Scientist, Dies at 92
George Cowan, a chemist who helped build the first atomic bomb, detect the first Soviet nuclear explosion and test the first hydrogen bomb, died on Friday at his home in Los Alamos, N.M. He was 92.
The Santa Fe Institute, a scientific research center that Dr. Cowan headed and helped found, announced the death.
For his many contributions, Dr. Cowan was awarded the federal Energy Department's highest honor, the Enrico Fermi Award, and the highest honor given by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Los Alamos Medal. The citation on his Los Alamos award called him "the driving force in the early radiochemical evaluations of nuclear weapons."
Dr. Cowan began thinking about the possibility of a bomb in 1938, when he brought a clipping about nuclear fission to his physics professor and asked him to talk about the possibility of a weapon based on splitting the atom. His professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts made a convincing argument that it would not happen, but when Dr. Cowan graduated three years later, the professor referred him to Eugene Wigner, a physicist at Princeton....

See Atrios.
Attaturk at FDL explains.
A Daily Kos diarist in Pittsburgh says yes, that it aired in that market this morning.
Writes Matt Stoller, noting how Brave New Films planted the McCain Mansion seed with the media days before the story broke.
Take a look.
Matthew Yglesias has his doubts.
CNN's John King, working his interactive map on Sunday, claimed if the election were held today Obama would win 221 electoral votes and McCain 189. King stressed that so many key states remain toss-ups. (That's good a narrative for the media.)
King claimed one key toss-up state is Minnesota. Really? According to Pollster's trend estimates, Obama is up by seven points in Minnesota, and there's only one poll listed at Pollser that shows McCain ahead in the land of lakes. And that was from January. We get the feeling CNN is trying a bit too hard to push the, It's-a-tie! storyline.
P.S. Pollster puts the current (albeit, hypothetical) electoral count at Obama 260, McCain 176. (That's a bad narrative for the media.)
According to the NYT.

Carrie Underwood's 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' Headed to the Big Screen

Carrie Underwood is all set to be the voice of NFL Sunday nights with 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' and now that the song is landing her a spot on the big screen.
Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood are each looking at a prestigious honor outside of their usual realm -- they both have shows that have been nominated for Emmys!
At least it looked like Carrie Underwood. In fact, this "girl" even sounds like Carrie Underwood. Take a look … you'll see there's something about this 'Sesame Street' character that isn't quite right.
Carrie Underwood, meet your most loyal fan! At Country Fest in Cadott, Wisc. over the weekend, Gage Stroening did all he could to see the Underwood -- and meet Randy Houser -- after being jolted by lightning and stepping on a red-hot hot plate. Following a brief seizure and visit to the emergency room, the Minnesota man was back at Country Fest.
Are you ready for some football? We know one country star who definitely is -- Carrie Underwood is making her return to 'Sunday Night Football.'
Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood are into 'Somethin' Bad.' From cleaning up at the card table to cleaning out a bank, the two are portrayed as good girls gone bad. Which side do you prefer gentlemen?
Two of country music's hottest female artists have teamed up for the powerful duet "Somethin' Bad." They are Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood, and they both took to Twitter and Instagram today to tease the release of their music video for the latest single.
Jennifer Nettles and Carrie Underwood make playing the Grand Ole Opry look easy. The pair got together on the historic stage recently to play their own rendition of a well-loved Dolly Parton classic.
Carrie Underwood, who's usually socially active, hasn't been on Twitter for some time. The reason? She's on a mission in Haiti. Nashville resident Rhae Lauren posted a few pictures of their trip on Instagram.
Luke Bryan was recently named the sexiest man in country music but there's one country star who disagrees. Carrie Underwood thinks Keith Urban is by far the best lookin' guy in the genre.
The 2014 CMA Music Festival is officially underway, and night two of the country music party was just as sensational as the first. This time, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, and other top-notch country stars thrilled fans with their sets, and a superstar -- the one and only Carrie Underwood -- made a surprise appearance.
Carrie Underwood had a big honor recently when she was asked to perform alongside Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow, as well as Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt and Glenn Frey to honor Linda Rondstadt during her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Tonight (May 31) the performances will be broadcast for fans to watch.

Pleyn Delit: Medieval Cookery for Modern Cooks (Paperback)
$17.42 - Save $13.24 43% off - RRP $30.66 Free delivery worldwide Available
Dispatched in 2 business days When will my order arrive? | |
DescriptionThis is a completely revised edition of the classic cookbook that makes genuine medieval meals available to modern cooks. Using the best recipes from the first edition as a base, Constance Hieatt and Brenda Hosington have added many new recipes from more countries to add depth and flavour to our understanding of medieval cookery. All recipes have been carefully adapted for use in modern kitchens, thoroughly tested, and represent a wide range of foods, from appetizers and soups, to desserts and spice wine. They come largely from English and French manuscripts, but some recipes are from sources in Arabia, Catalonia and Italy. The recipes will appeal to cordon-bleus and less experienced cooks, and feature dishes for both bold and timourous palates. The approach to cooking is entirely practical. The emphasis of the book is on making medieval cookery accessible by enabling today's cooks to produce authentic medieval dishes with as much fidelity as possible. All the ingredients are readily available; where some might prove difficult to find, suitable substitutes are suggested. While modern ingredients which did not exist in the Middle Ages have been excluded (corn starch, for example), modern time and energy saving appliances have not. Authenticity of composition, taste, and appearance are the book's main concern. Unlike any other published book of medieval recipes, Pleyn Delit is based on manuscript readings verified by the authors. When this was not possible, as in the case of the Arabic recipes, the best available scholarly editions were used. The introduction provides a clear explanation of the medieval menu and related matters to bring the latest medieval scholarship to the kitchen of any home. Pleyn Delit is a recipe book dedicated to pure delight - a delight in cooking and good food.

Our apartment is right in front of the pool
The urbanisation has well maintained gardens and is traffic free.

If you want to self cater the kitchen has all the kit, even a cool box for picnics on the beach
The second bedroom.
The gardeners do a marvellous job of keeping the complex well manicured
There is plenty of parking
Our apartment is right in front of the pool, great for that early morning dip and sunbathing.
Someone comes and attends to the pool most mornings at 8am. Toddlers have their own pool.
The lounge has 42" TV and a two and three seater settee.

Guadalmare Morellino Di Scansano 2012
Guadalmare - Tuscany - Italy - Morellino Di Scansano
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Sangiovese grapes have been grown in their native Italy and several other countries for a very long time now, with many experts claiming that they were even enjoyed by the ancient Etruscan civilization, long before the spread of the Roman Empire which helped raise the profile of this dark colored and flavorful varietal. It isn't difficult to understand their enduring appeal the Sangiovese grape varietal delivers wines which are the epitome of finery, soaking up delicate and complex oak and vanilla flavors from the barrels they are aged in, or leaving light, refreshing strawberry notes on the tongue when drank young. Whilst many traditional wineries prefer to use these acidic grapes for single variety wines, many have experimented with blending them with other fine varietals in order to balance out their combination of high acidity and light body. The results have often been truly special, and Sangiovese continues to impress today as much as it did centuries ago.
All over the stunning region of Tuscany in central Italy, you'll see rolling hills covered in green, healthy grapevines. This region is currently Italy's third largest producer of wines, but interestingly wineries here are generally happy with lower yields holding higher quality grapes, believing that they have a responsibility to uphold the excellent reputation of Tuscany, rather than let it slip into 'quantity over quality' wine-making as it did in the mid twentieth century. The region has a difficult soil type to work with, but the excellent climate and generations of expertise more than make up for this problem. Most commonly, Tuscan vintners grow Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes, although more and more varietals are being planted nowadays in order to produce other high quality wine styles.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

African roots of the human family treetags: CNN, Africa, human evolution, DNA
Johannesburg, South Africa (CNN) -- How would you feel knowing you are related to your boss, your neighbor, or better yet your partner? Don't worry, you may have to go back 1,000, 20,000 or maybe even 100,000 years to find a common ancestor, but generally speaking it is true.
Advanced DNA testing combined with recently unearthed discoveries are bolstering the belief that if you look back far enough, all living human beings are the descendents of a small, innovative and ambitious set of people on the African continent.
With the mapping of the human genome in 2003, combined with thousands of people around the world submitting their DNA for testing, there's now mounting physical proof we all started in Africa before migrating around the world....

Backstage News on Bryan vs. Sheamus, Lesnar vs. Orton Match Discussed, More
by Staff - April 26, 2012
- Despite WWE changing their stance on the "YES!" chants and Daniel Bryan's popularity continuing, the plan as of this past week was still for the Bryan vs. Sheamus feud to end at Extreme Rules and for Alberto Del Rio to step up and feud with Sheamus. Extreme Rules will be interesting as Bryan likely will be cheered big time by the Chicago fans.
– We noted before that The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar or John Cena is penciled in for the WrestleMania 29 main event with Lesnar being the most likely opponent, depending on how his current run goes between now and late 2012. There has been debate over who would be Lesnar's perfect WrestleMania opponent as Steve Austin and The Undertaker would also fit.
On a related note, the idea of Lesnar vs. Randy Orton main eventing this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view was thrown around this past week.

These little cakes are to die for! I first made them for my husbands' boss' Christmas Party. Makes 12 so it is a great desert for a crowd. I have been asked almost weekly to make this for my family = no special occasion needed! I have found that the batter is much better when it is allowed to chill overnight is a sealed container. Garnish with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries or white chocolate ganache or satin chocolate mint sauce, the possibilities are endless.

What We Don't Know About The Drought In California - Plenty

We know a fair amount about the drought that has now afflicted California for about three years: It has been the driest period since record-keeping began in the 19th Century. If their wells are deep enough, farmers can still pretty much pump all the ground water they like, while homeowners can be fined up to $500 for watering down a walkway. Water use actually rose after Gov. Jerry Brown asked for a voluntary 20 percent cutback.

The latter were named Dorian by the ancient Greek writers after the historical population that owned them, the Dorians. Greek legend asserted that the Dorians took possession of the Peloponnesus in an event called the Return of the Heracleidae. Classical scholars saw in the legend a hypothetically real event they termed the Dorian invasion. The meaning of the concept has changed several times, as historians, philologists and archaeologists used it in attempts to explain the cultural discontinuities expressed in the data of their fields. The pattern of arrival of Dorian culture on certain islands in the Mediterranean, such as Crete, is also not well elucidated. The Dorians colonised a number of sites on Crete such as Lato.[1] Despite nearly 200 years of investigation the historicity of the Dorian invasion has never been established. The meaning of the concept has become to some degree amorphous. The work done on it has mainly served to rule out various speculations. The possibility of a real Dorian invasion remains open. Return of the Heracleidae The ancient tradition is that the descendants of Heracles, exiled after his death, returned after some generations in order to reclaim dominion their ancestor Heracles had held in the Peloponnesus. The Greece to which the traditions refer is the mythic one, now considered to be Mycenaean Greece. The theme of the "return of the Heracleidae" is considered legendary. The exact descent differs from one ancient author to another, the salient point being that in each case a traditional ruling clan traced its origin, thus its legitimacy, to Heracles. The translation of "return" is strictly English; the Greek connotations are quite different. The Greek words are katienai and katerchesthai, literally those who "descent", "come down" or "go down" or less commonly "are brought down." It means a descent from uplands to lowlands, or from the earth to the grave, or a rushing down upon as a flood, or sweeping down upon as a wind or a ship, or those returning from exile (which typically 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dorian invasion The Heracleidae now found it prudent to claim the to Heracles:[2] "and from this moment the Herakleids and Dorians became intimately united together into one social communion." Three generations later the Heracleidae with Dorian collusion occupied the Peloponnesus, an event Grote terms a "victorious invasion."[3] The term invasion The first widespread use of the term "Dorian invasion" appears to date to the 1830s. A popular alternative was the "Dorian migration." For example, in 1831 Thomas Keightly was using Dorian migration in Outline of History; by 1838 in The Mythology of Ancient Greece and Italy he was using Dorian invasion. Neither of those two words exactly fit the return. They imply an incursion from outside a society to within, but where did the Dorians fit, outside or in? William Mitford's History of Greece, 1784-1810,[4] described a "Dorian revolution" and Grote's first two volumes did not appear until 1846, although he was working on them since 1822. In 1824 Karl Otfried Müller's Die Dorier came out and was translated into English by Tufnel and Lewis for publication in 1830.[5] The English uses such terms as "the Doric invasion" and "the invasion of the Dorians" to translate Müller's "Die Einwanderung von den Doriern," (literal: "the migration of the Dorians") which was quite a different concept; presumably "invasion" was already current in English. On one level the Einwanderung meant no more than the Heraklidenzug, the return of the Heracleidae. However, Müller was also applying the sense of Völkerwanderung to it, which was being used of the Germanic migrations. Müller's approach was philological. In trying to explain the distribution of tribes and dialects he hypothesized that the aboriginal or Pelasgian population was Hellenic. His famous first paragraph of the Introduction asserts: The Dorians derived their origin [der Ursprung des dorischen Stammes] from those districts in which the Grecian nation bordered toward the north upon numerous and dissimilar races of barbarians. As to the tribes which dwelt beyond these borders we are indeed wholly destitute of information; nor is there the slightest trace of any memorial or tradition that the Greeks originally came from those quarters. Müller goes on to propose that the original Pelasgian language was the common ancestor of Greek and Latin, that it evolved into Proto-Greek and was corrupted in Macedon and Thessaly by invasions of Illyrians (such as the Bryges). This same pressure of mysterious Illyrians Hercules and Athena. Attic red-figure vase. would have to be by ship). It is never used as a simple return home, which is a nostos (as in nostalgia or the "returns from Troy"). The Heracleidae are not returning to a former home for which they are homesick, they are sweeping down upon the Peloponnesus in war, thus inviting the English translation of invasion. There is, however, a distinction between Heracleidae and Dorians. George Grote summarizes the relationship as follows:[2] Herakles himself had rendered inestimable aid to the Dorian king Aegimius, when the latter was hard pressed in a contest with the Lapithae .... Herakles defeated the Lapithae, and slew their king Koronus; in return for which Aegimius assigned to his deliverers one third part of his whole territory, and adopted Hyllus as his son. Hyllus, a Perseid, was driven from the state of Mycenae into exile after the death of Heracles by a dynastic rival, Eurystheus, another Perseid:[3] After the death ... of Herakles, his son Hyllos and his other children were expelled and persecuted by Eurystheus ... Eurystheus invaded Attica, but perished in the attempt .... All the sons of Eurystheus lost their lives ... with him, so that the Perseid family was now represented only by the Herakleids .... The Pelopid family now assumed power. The Heraclids "endeavored to recover the possessions from which they had been expelled" but were defeated by the Ionians at the Isthmus of Corinth. Hyllus staked peace for three generations against immediate reoccupation on a single combat and was killed by Echemus of Arcadia. 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia drove forth Greeks speaking Achaean (includes Aeolian), Ionian and finally Dorian in three diachronic waves, explaining the dialect distribution of Greek in classical times. The Illyrians do not overrun the more easily defended peninsula of Greece as they did Macedon and Thessaly but drive large-scale migrations toward it on three different occasions. Dorian invasion Greek origin in Greece Additional progress in the search for the Dorian invasion came about as a result of the decipherment of Linear B, an early form of Greek written in a syllabary. It became known as Mycenaean Greek. Comparing it with the later Greek dialects scholars could see that a development had taken place. For example, classical Greek anak-s, "king", came from a reconstructed *wanak- and a glance at Linear B turned up wa-na-ka. Ernst Risch lost no time in proposing that there was never any more than one migration, which brought proto-Greek into Greece, and it dissimilated into dialects in Greece.[10] Meanwhile the linguists closest to the decipherment were having doubts about the classification of proto-Greek. John Chadwick summarizing in 1976 wrote:[11] Let us therefore explore the alternative view. This hypothesis is that the Greek language did not exist before the twentieth century B.C., but was formed in Greece by the mixture of an indigenous population with invaders who spoke another language .... What this language was is a difficult question ... the exact stage reached in development at the time of the arrival is difficult to predict. In another ten years the "alternative view" was becoming the standard one. JP Mallory wrote in 1989 concerning the various hypotheses of proto-Greek that had been put forward since the decipherment:[12] Reconciliation of all these different theories seems out of the question ... the current state of our knowledge of the Greek dialects can accommodate Indo-Europeans entering Greece at any time between 2200 and 1600 BC to emerge later as Greek speakers. By the end of the 20th century the concept of an invasion by external Greek speakers had been removed from the arena, although it is still asserted as a minority view. There was and always has been only one Greece and one population of Greeks:[13] Greek is now widely believed to be the product of contact between Indo-European immigrants and the speakers of the indigenous languages of the Balkan peninsula beginning c. 2,000 B.C. Although the linguists had failed to return the Heracleidae, they had after a long Wanderung at last returned the Dorian invasion to Greece as an internal event. Kretschmer's external Greeks Toward the end of the 19th century the philologist Paul Kretschmer made a strong case that Pelasgian was a preGreek substrate, perhaps Anatolian,[6] taking up a classical theme of remnant populations existing in pockets among the Greek speakers, in mountainous and rural Arcadia and in inaccessible coasts of the far south. This view left Müller's proto-Greeks without a place to be, but Kretschmer did not return the Heracleidae or their Dorian allies from Macedon and Thessaly. Instead he removed the earliest Greeks to the trail leading from the plains of Asia, where he viewed the Proto-IndoEuropean language as having broken up about 2500 BC. Somewhere between Greece and there a new cradle of the Greek tribes developed, from which Proto-Ionians at about 2000 BC, Proto-Achaeans at about 1600 BC and Dorians at about 1200 BC exited to swoop down on an increasingly less aboriginal Greece as the three waves of external Greeks.[7] Kretschmer was confident that if the unknown homeland of the Greeks was not then known, archaeology would find it. The handbooks of Greek history from then on spoke of Greeks entering Greece. As late as 1956 J.B. Bury's History of Greece (3rd edition) wrote of an "...invasion which brought the Greek language into Greece." Over that half-century Greek and Balkan archaeology united in an effort to locate the Dorians further north than Greece. The idea was combined with a view that the sea peoples were part of the same northsouth migration at about 1200 BC. The weakness in this theory[8] is that it requires an invaded Greece and its mirror image where Greek evolved and continued to evolve into dialects contemporaneously with the invaded Greece. However, although the invaded Greece was amply represented by evidence of all sorts, there was no evidence at all of its hidden mirror. Similarly, the sea peoples failed to show anywhere except in the sea for which the Egyptians named them. Retaining Müller's three waves and Kretschmer's Pelasgian pockets the scholars continued to search for the Dorians in other quarters. Müller's common ancestor of Greek and Latin had vanished by 1950, breaking that link, and by 1960 although given lip service still the concept of Greek developing outside of Greece had seen its best days.[9] 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dorian invasion had developed under Minoan influence as a palace language. As a disinterested non-speculator Chadwick had become the grand master of Mycenaean studies, the last surviving member of the team of Ventris and Chadwick. Now that he had taken a stand and was on that account more easily assailable his influence waned. His theory of a revolution although it reechoed that of William Mitford nearly 200 years ago was not generally accepted. Chadwick faded away into meritorious but active retirement and the studies he had helped to found went on. End of Mycenaean IIIB destruction Meanwhile the archaeologists were encountering what appeared to be a wave of destruction of Mycenaean palaces. Indeed, the Pylos tablets recorded the dispatch of "coast-watchers", to be followed not long after by the burning of the palace, presumably by invaders from the sea. Carl Blegen wrote:[14] the telltale track of the Dorians must be recognized in the fire-scarred ruins of all the great palaces and the more important towns which ... were blotted out at the end of Mycenaean IIIB. Blegen follows Furumark[15] in dating Mycenaean IIIB to 1300-1230 BC. Blegen himself dated the Dorian invasion to 1200 BC. A destruction by Dorians has its problems (see next section) and is not the only possible explanation. At approximately this time Hittite power in Anatolia collapsed with the destruction of their capital Hattusa and the late 19th and the 20th dynasties of Egypt also suffered invasions of the Sea Peoples. Another theory, reported for instance by Thomas and Conant, attributes the ruin of the Peloponnesus to them:[16] Evidence on the Linear B tablets from the Mycenaean kingdom of Pylos describing the dispatch of rowers and watchers to the coast, for instance, may well date to the time that the Egyptian pharoh was expecting the arrival of foes. But who were the foes? The evidence on sea peoples indicates that some of them may have been Greek. Michael Wood suggests relying on tradition, especially that of Thucydides:[17] ... let us not forget the legends, at least as models for what might have happened. They tell us of constant rivalries with the royal clans of the Heroic Age - Atreus and Thyestes, Agamemnon and Aigisthes, and so on .... In summary, the Mycenaean world disintegrated through "feuding clans of the great royal families."[17] The possibility of some sort of internal struggle had long been under consideration. Chadwick after following and critiquing the development of different views, in 1976 settled on a theory of his own:[18] there was no Dorian invasion. The palaces were destroyed by Dorians who had been in the Peloponnesus all along as a subservient lower class, and now were staging a revolution. Chadwick espoused the view that northern Greek was the more conservative and proposed that southern Greek Invasion or migration? The Dorian migration in H.G. Wells' The Outline of History (1920). The arrow for the Illyrians in the upper left corner shows that Wells was following Müller, but the arrows from the center downward are reasonably accurate. After the Greek Dark Ages, much of the population of the Peloponnesus spoke Dorian; the evidence of Linear B and literary traditions, such as the works of Homer, is that they spoke Achaean before, and it must have been Mycenaean Greek. Equally as significantly, society in the Peloponnesus had undergone a total change from states ruled by kings presiding over a Palace economy to a caste system ruled by a Dorian master ethnos at Sparta. Whether these data demonstrate that a Dorian population entered the Peloponnesus from outside of it, displaced some of the previous population there and reduced much of the remainder to hereditary subservience, changing the main dialect from Mycenaean to Doric, is the major historical question for the period. No one questions that these changes took place, but how and when? H. Michell, a Sparta scholar, says:[19] "If we assume that the Dorian invasion took place some 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia time in the twelfth century, we certainly know nothing of them for the next hundred years." Blegen admitted that in the sub-Mycenaean period following 1200:[14] "the whole area seems to have been sparsely populated ..." The problem is that there are no traces of any Dorians anywhere until the start of the Geometric period at about 950 BC. This simple pottery decoration appears to be correlated with other changes in material culture, such as the introduction of iron weapons and alterations in burial practices from Mycenaean group burials in tholos tombs to individual burials and cremation. These can certainly associated with the historical Dorian settlers, such as those of Sparta in the 10th century BC.[19] However, they appear to have been general over all of Greece; moreover, the new weapons would not have been used in 1200. The scholars were now faced with the conundrum of an invasion at 1200 but a resettlement at 950. What took the Dorians so long and where were they for several generations? One answer is that the destruction of 1200 was not caused by the Dorians and that the quasi-mythical return of the Heracleidae is to be associated with settlement at Sparta ca. 950. It was a migration easily accomplished in a military vacuum. Dorian invasion Peloponnesus and taking it over to rebuild civilization their way. This dark age consists of three periods of art and archaeology: sub-Mycenaean, Proto-geometric and Geometric. The most successful, the Geometric, seemed to fit the Dorians better, but there is a gap, and also this period is not localized to and did not begin in Dorian territory. It is more to be associated with Athens, an Ionian state. Still, the Dorians did share in the Geometric period and therefore to find its origin might be perhaps to find the origin of the Dorians. The Geometric originated by clear transition in the darkest of the dark age, the Protogeometric. Families were so poor that they gave up bronze as a metal of jewelry and took to wearing simple iron rings and pendants. As for the sub-Mycenaean, their decoration is a loose and uncareful form of Mycenaean motifs, on which account they are generally held to be a refugee population. The question of why the refugees were haunting their former homes if the latter were in possession of the Dorians is part of the problem. No answers are yet forthcoming. The logical break in material culture is the start of the Proto-geometric at about 1050 BC, which leaves a gap of 150 years. The year 1050 offers nothing distinctively Dorian either, but if the Dorians were present in the Geometric, and they were not always in place as an unrecorded lower class, 1050 is most likely time of entry. Cartledge says humorously perhaps with a note of whimsical frustration:[20] It has of late become an acknowledged scandal that the Dorians, archaeologically speaking, do not exist. That is, there is no cultural trait surviving in the material record for the two centuries or so after 1200 which can be regarded as a peculiarly Dorian hallmark. Robbed of their patents for Geometric pottery, cremation burial, iron-working and, the unkindest prick of all, the humble straight pin, the hapless Dorians stand naked before their creator - or, some would say, inventor. Apparently archaeology cannot reach the Dorians either. Perhaps the material remains do not always characterize the movements and territories of peoples. The question, however, remains open to further investigation. Closing the gap The quest for the Dorian invasion had begun as an attempt to explain the differences between Peloponnesian society depicted by Homer and the historical Dorians of classical Greece. The first scholars to work on the problem were historians researching the only resources available to them: the Greek legends. The philologists (later linguists) subsequently took up the challenge but in the end could only bring the problem into sharper definition. Finally the archaeologists have inherited the issue with high hopes. Perhaps some distinctively Dorian archaeological evidence will turn up or has turned up giving precise insight as to how and when Peloponnesian society changed so radically. The historians had defined the Greek Dark Ages, a period of general decline, in this case the disappearance of the palace economy and with it law and order, loss of writing, diminishment of trade, decrease in population and abandonment of settlements (destroyed or undestroyed), metals starvation and loss of the fine arts or at least the diminution of their quality, evidenced especially in pottery. By its broadest definition the dark age lasted between 1200 and 750, the start of the archaic or orientalizing period, when influence from the Middle East via the overseas colonies stimulated a recovery. A dark age of poverty, low population and metals starvation is not compatible with the idea of great population movements of successful warriors wielding the latest military equipment sweeping into the Notes [1] [2] [3] [4] C.
