Hey Stephanos, congradulations on this. Good work!

That is very cool Stefanos, you must be proud, the Greeks have the some of the richest history in the world on top of being the founders of Democracy. While many people understand the Greeks had a big impact on the western world, they don't always understand what they did, it is good to educate them. Congratulations!

Well done Stefanos and to your group. You are achieving something.
Re: A break through for reenacting and Science - hoplite14gr - 12-14-2011
I am under the impression that as far as Medieval, Napoleonic and even Roman re-enacting has become acceptable as an "assisting tool" for scholars.
I would love to see other Ancient Greek re-enacting groups promoting this historical sector to the scholarly community.
And John's very specialized work with ancient riding or the "Hetairoi" in Germany with the sarissa usage comes to mind.
I wish that all of you succeed in your efforts.
Thank you!

I am only specifically aware of the value of reconstruction in terms of the Roman period and specifically late antiquity. "Experimental" archaeology has a long history and it has included some notable achievements in relation to Roman military equipment dating back to the 19th century. From memory I think Lee even went so far as to bemoan the lack of "Greek" military reconstruction in his work on Xenophon's Anabasis.
But such work gives re-enactment a higher purpose beyond "beer and bash". I suspect many members of this forum appreciate such efforts and applaud your work.
Re: A break through for reenacting and Science - hoplite14gr - 12-16-2011
OK we all like "Beer & bash". Its fun plus ideas are echcanged in a symposium!
But in all groups there are members who support "Beer & bash" AND historical research.
I truly want to encourage all who do re-enacting and not only ancient Greek in the pursuit of this.
Please allow me to think that because serious work is done by the groups, more good stuff can become if the academic community opens a receiving ear or decides to publish topics and their parameters that could be put under research.
Some times people from other dichiplines can be of tremendous help. (i.e. Vendris)
Thank you all for your kind words.

This looks very interesting. Great to see so much interest in the Ancient Greeks.
Ten years ago, I was having to rely on a very slow bandwidth and what books I had!
