Gravel crumbling. The crew stops to look at the view. 4:25 ? shares the story of the myth. Well either Aries was put on trial for accidentally killing one of the sons of Sidean, So that¿s one theory on why It is called the Area of Osidean (sp). That was a myth that was current until around the 5th century when, the Atheanens started to develop a new Amazon myth, in which the Amazon started to invade Athens and supposedly encamped on the AO while they siege the Acroplous and they were supposedly the daughters of Aries and so they sacrificed to their father on the hill and so that¿s why it was called the AO. 5:57 CJ lets start with who you are and what you do. 5:58 My name is Joe Dulisio (sp) I¿m a second year graduate student in classical studies and ancient history from Boston Univ. This is my second participating in the excavations at Athenea Ira (sp). I did my undergraduate in history and in the course of studying history I became very interested in the ancient world. I decided to a masters in archaeology in Tuscan university and after that I decided that I need to become better acquainted with the languages to make myself a better historian and so I decided to do a PhD in classical studies. 7:05 CJ what is the name of where we are and why is it important to the classical period of Greek history. 7:11 JD what we¿re sitting right now on the pinics (sp) and right now we sitting right over the speakers platform, which is where an order would assembled Atheaneans. And right where we¿re standing here is basically the heart of the democracy. It¿s I suppose analogies to our house of representatives, except for the fact of people actually electing representatives to actually come here, all of the Atheneans male citizens who own land would come here to speak or listen to the speakers, and then vote on proposals and decide all matters of state just like our congress and president do in the US. 8:05 CJ the assembled Atheaneans were called the Acleezia (sp)? JD Yes, the Acleesia. CJ and the person who would be taking the platform behind us, could that be anybody purposing a law? JD Theoretically it could be anyone. But usually it would be people with very good orders, people who would be holding office, who had been elected as a general. People with speaking skills, probably not the average Joe, would have the nerve to get up on the platform and ascend his fellow citizens because, quite frankly they could be pretty brutal. It took someone who was very confident of himself and had some rhetorical training to get up and address his fellow citizens. 9:35 Ambi dogs barking in the background, birds chirping. 9:54 CJ you particularly like this place. You are working in the Arberaw (sp) but the Penix (sp) is a special place for you? 9:59 JD yeah, I prefer this actually to the Acropolis, and just because first of all it¿s so peaceful. I mean you can hear all the birds, so it¿s very serene and you can also have a very pretty view of the Acropolis and the Argura and all of that so. Also the Argura, I should say, I feel like I see the things I read about... (Notes truncated)
