Negotiating the Hermes of Olympia: A Short History of Reception
type: item
description: The fourth volume of Grifos traces the first 150 years of the modern history of Praxiteles’s famous Hermes, discovered at Olympia in 1877. This exquisite marble sculpture quickly became one of the most celebrated and admired works of Greek art. Just fifty years after its discovery, the work's authenticity was seriously questioned. In the ensuing debates, experts were deeply divided, as evidence suggested that the work was not of 4th-century BC origin but a later copy. The question, however, was never definitively settled, and the discussion about the true nature of the Olympian Hermes continues to this day. The fluctuating status of this famous and delicate work can be examined through numerous scholarly studies, well-founded interpretations, and original explanations. These reflect not only fundamental shifts in archaeological and art historical discourse but also, at times, reveal political positions.

Habbo G. Lolling at Melitaia
type: item
description: The Greek–Finnish collaborative field-project, the Melitaia Archaeological Programme, began in 2022 to examine the ancient Thessalian city of Melitaia. The programme is the first endeavour to systematically document the entirety of the ancient site, but does not represent the first endeavour to outline its antiquities. Already in 1882, the German scholar and epigraphist Habbo Gerhard Lolling visited the location and made a remarkably detailed plan of its visible architectural remains. Lolling’s account was never published and remained forgotten among his notebooks after his untimely death in 1894. In this article, the site of ancient Melitaia is presented through a combination of Lolling’s notes and a recent LiDAR survey, providing a rare glimpse of the state of the archaeological site both in the present and in the years immediately after the incorporation of Thessaly into the Kingdom of Greece.

From Hyperborea to the Middle Sea and Back
type: item
description: The second volume of the electronic series Grifos by the Finnish Institute at Athens explores the Finnish history of antiquities collecting and the influence of ancient culture in “Hyperborea”, as Finland was referred to by one of the prominent collectors. Over the course of the twentieth century, an art historian, a painter, and a clergyman from Finland travelled throughout the Mediterranean and adjoining lands and acquired what is now the antiquarian collection of 66 pieces in the Joensuu Art Museum. It is one of the few such collections publicly displayed in Finland, and this publication in Finnish covers the entire corpus for the first time. The travel reports and paintings of these collectors throw light on their inspirations and goals in collecting. These tangible mementoes, ranging from vases to sculptures, from figurines to lamps, are studied through the connected myths, iconography, and uses of the objects, their circulation through ancient trade, as well their later, modern travels that eventually found them in Finland.

A Swedish Philhellenic Pamphlet from 1821
type: item
description: The first volume of Grifos is a publication of a rare, anonymously published philhellenic pamphlet from the year 1821. It was printed in Stockholm, yet it has hitherto remained uncol­lected by the scholarly community. The pamphlet is published here for the first time with an En­glish translation and a commentary by George Kalpadakis and Vassilios Sabatakakis. In their introduction the authors place the pamphlet in its historical context and discuss its core themes. The original 1821 text, whose images are repro­duced in the final section, has been transcribed and translated by both authors. This rather provocative philhellenic text echoes a few central themes of philhellenism that by the time of its publica­tion had already become part of later frequent­ly repeated rhetoric in philhellenic discourses. Probably in the challenging political climate in Sweden vis-à-vis the Greek war of independence, complex attitudes and ideologies, both for and against the struggle during its early phase, are re­flected in the text.
