 Γεια σας, καλώς ήρθω σε όλους. Είμαι Σωτηρία Δημοπούλου. Είμαι π.Μ.Κ.Α.Δ.Α.Ε. Κανατοκρότητα της Ευρωπαϊκής Αρχαιολογίας στην Αμμινσταστική Ευρωπαϊκή. Είμαι σκοτός από το κάλτυπο της δαμοφόν. Ατλικόσορή, στην Αρκάδια. Και σήμερα θα σας προσπαθήσω την βαλή της Εσπινα. Είναι ένα μάπρο της Ανσυνπελλοπονής και της Αρκέδια. Είναι η Λικώσσουρα εδώ. Η Λικώσσουρα was a very important religious center with the Temple of the Espina and the Mysteries which took place on them. This is a graphic about the Temple of the Espina and the buildings around it with the Stoa. The Peribolos, the Stoa with Doric columns. Some altars in front of the Temple. And the Doric Temple with Doric columns, a Pronaos, a Maymaos and the Sela. I must mention that the Temple has various chronologically phases from 4 BC until the Roman years. And these were the stairs. From the stairs, watch the initiators. I'm sorry. The Mysteries which took place at the Kosovo. The Mysteries were very close to the Mysteries of the LFCs. And these are the remains from the Temple today. This is the Sela. This is the Mosheik in front of the Sela. And these are the stones where the cult group of Damofon was located. Damofon was the sculptor of the group. And apart from the archaeological evidence and Pafsanias, of course, a very important literary source, he describes in his eighth book about the cult group and Arcadia. We have this coin. This is a coin which was found in Megalopolis. It's the only exemplar, exemplar in German, I'm sorry. It is dated in 200 AD to the years of Julia Domna, whose head is illustrated on its averses. And on its rivers, you can see the cult group. If you can see the details enough, I'm not sure. But it is destroyed enough and we are not sure what they were dressed, how they were dressed or what they were carrying, they were holding. And this is a reconstruction from the cult group from Andrew Stuart. This is Despina. Despina was the main goddess in Akklykosura. She was dressed in fine garments, as you can see. This famous vile over her head, into her knees and a hiton who was also decorated. She was holding the ritual sister and the scepter. Next to her was sitting Dimitra, her mother, with a torque. And next to Dimitra was standing Artemis, with a torque. And snakes or dragons, we are not able to see the dragons. And I must mention that Artemis was the sister of Despina. And on the right, on the left from the group, was standing Anitos. Anitos was a titan according to Paphsanias and he grew up Despina according to the Arcadian mythos. Anitos was represented in a warrior's attitude according to Dickens. And this is the garment, the famous kite dress from Despina. I don't know if we have here two different garments or one piece. I am not sure, because it seems like to be consisted of two pieces. The garment is one 13 meter high, it is exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum at Athens and it is the only fragment that we have. And let's see now the zones. The first zone, the upper zone, I must say that this zone for me is not the top of the garment, the garment goes further, higher. It is decorated with ornaments, but it is destroyed enough, it is hard to see. The next zone has ingles and thunderbolts. This zone is related to the kite of Zeus, whose kite was very extended, especially on Lichon Mountain. The third zone is decorated with olive leaves and its fruits and as you can see, its zone is bordered through lines. This is very interesting. And a very, very nice zone, an excellent zone from the upper part of the garment is the so-called Ctiasos, the sea world. Here are represented tritons, myriads and dolphins. You can see here a naked triton who is touching a dolphin. He looks like he is having a discussion with it and on his back is sitting a myriad. He is also naked with a hemation and the tile of the triton is very large, an excellent figure from the same zone. And near it, she is riding a sea kitos, a sea dragon. She is half naked in a profile view. She is wearing a hemation who fells into her knees. She has a top knot. The characteristics of her face are very clearly as well as from the dragon. This zone, the topic of the zone is related to the kite of Poseidon. Poseidon was the father of the Espina. After the rape of Dimitra and he was the god of the source water, of the water and of the underworld in Peloponnes II. And between the upper and the lower part here you can see fringes and this fringes seems to be the edge of the upper part. That's why I am saying that perhaps it consists of two pieces. The next zone from the upper part, from the lower part, I'm sorry, is the largest, the biggest and it is the so-called Nike zone. We have here Nike's who are flying, who have open wings, who are in profile view. This one, who are carrying sensors as kite objects, as ritual objects. This one is like walking through the line towards the garment. She is represented between bay leaves and she is dressed in fine garments. Another figure from the same zone and another one. She is moving less than the other. I think this is because the surface of the marble. This zone is very interesting because I think that it is related to the victory. The victory of life against the death of the nature of the euphoria of the land. Because the two goddesses of Rikosura, Dimitra and the Espina, were represented the nature and the underworld too. The last and most bizarre and interesting zone, its origins I think goes back to the Mycenaean years. Well, I think that here we have human beings with animal masks. Some researchers believe that they are animals with human dresses. But I think that they are women with animal masks. They are leading a dance procession, a ritual ceremony, before the initiation to the mysteries of the Espina. They are playing an instrument, a flute or a double flute, and they are dancing. It's like an orgiastic dancing as well as the Dionysos rituals. We have bears, goats, donkeys, as you can see very clearly. And here this animal is playing the double flute. And at the bottom of the garment you see the meander. At this point I would like to present to you two other fragments, which I located at Rikosura Museum. We have here naikis. But these naikis are not carrying sensors. They are holding their dresses. I don't know if you can see that. And the fragments are decorated, I have them in the same decoration, as the garment, the cald garment. We have leaves here. I am not sure if those two fragments belong to the same garment or to the hiton of the Espina, because the hiton of the Espina has the same decorations as the mantel or the vial or appenditis. I am not sure what is about, what is the cald garment. And at last, the graphical construction. You can see here very clearly all the zones. The first one, yes, with the eagles and thunderbolts, the leaves and the zone with the sea tears. You can see here clearly all the figures, the fringes. And here, the zone with the naikis. The other two naikis are here. I have the naikis here, this zone designed, because I don't know, I am not sure if those two figures, they are different as the others, but they belong to the same subject, the same topic. And at last, you see the beautiful animals at the bottom of the, who are playing the instruments, they are lovely. But I am not sure what this, what the figure four, fear. I'm also almost ready. The four, the number four, I am not sure what animal is this or if it's a woman who is playing some. I'm not sure, I don't know. Perhaps you will help me. Thank you.
