The Aegean Quartet is an adventurous, robust tale of an American's spiritual quest through the storied Aegean islands which culminates in the secluded monastic republic of Mount Athos, sometimes called the "Shangri-La of Greece." Embracing Henry Miller's belief that Greece is critically important for every man seeking to find himself, Alexander Markos begins his quest in Aegina, where he meets Theoni, an uninhibited disciple of the pagan god Dionysus. In Paros, he becomes the uncomfortable target at a comical match-making dinner. In Chios, he becomes involved with Efrosini, the blind artist daughter of a fisherman. Eventually, Markos arrives at Mount Athos where the mysterious monk Demetrios helps him weave a web of spiritual philosophy by melding elements of faith, reason, and intuition. At the monk's urging, Markos makes the hazardous climb to the crest of the 6,670-foot holy mountain -- a fourth element -- in the hope of experiencing the mystical fusion needed to succeed in his quest.

In the past, the examination of myth has traditionally been the study of the "Primitive" or the "Other." More recently, myth has been increasingly employed in movies and in television productions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Star Trek television and movie franchise. This collection of essays on Star Trek brings together perspectives from scholars in fields including film, anthropology, history, American studies and biblical scholarship. Together the essays examine the symbolism, religious implications, heroic and gender archetypes, and lasting effects of the Star Trek "mythscape."

During the last century, writers as diverse as William Golding, Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Evelyn Waugh, Virginia Woolf, and Laurie Lee, were captivated by Greece. They were joined in their production of travel accounts by hundreds of lesser-known authors. This book exposes how the responses of travellers were conditioned by much more than their own opinions and personalities. The British education system, classical scholarship, and the heroism demonstrated by the Greeks during the Nazi invasion of their country, all contributed to shaping travel narratives. The author analyses the way in which all of the major archaeological sites were described—including the Athenian Acropolis, Delphi, Olympia, Heinrich Schliemann’s Mycenae, and Sir Arthur Evans’ Knossos in Crete. The representation of the modern Greek people, particularly in the period after the Second World War, is also explored at length. Viewed as relics of the past, the Greeks in literature were given the qualities and appearance of their ancestors. David Wills shows how in the hands of twentieth century travel writers, Greece became less a modern country, and more a mirror of antiquity. This book is essential reading for all who are interested in the history of travel and tourism, reception of the classical past, and recent Greek history.
