| Abstract:
October 1993 Direction: Nikos Anagnostopoulos Script: Nikos Anagnostopoulos Cinematography: Ilias Konstantakopoulos Editing: Takis Koumoundouros Fani Ziozia Music: Nikos Xydakis Production: Nikos Anagnostopoulos ---------------- The documentary was shot in the Republic of Turkmenistan between the ancient Oxus (Amu Dar'ya) and Jaxartes (Syr-Dar'ya) rivers, south-east of the Caspian Sea and north of Persia and Afghanistan, in a journey that lasted two months. Through the archaeological finds, the sand and the stones, the legends, the songs and the forgotten images, the film attempts to recapture the historic meeting of Greek civilisation with the peoples of the Orient. ---------------- Turkmenistan lies at the cross-roads of the most ancient civilisation on earth. In the Kara-Kum (Black Sands) Desert and on the mountain range of Kopet-Dag that stretches from Caspia to India, the film crew came across the ruins of proto-Zoroastrian temples, the birthplace of Zarathustra, ancient Parthia of the Arsacid dynasty and its capital, Nysa, the mythical city of Dionysus. The supreme moment in this captivating documentary, the camera meeting the people. The faces of the Nokhurli, who believe that they are the most ancient inhabitants of Turkmenia bear traces from the passage of history and their souls the deeply rooted conviction that they are descended from Alexander the Great. In 1991 Nikos Anagnostopoulos made a series of four documentaries for the second channel of Greek Television entitled A History of Greek Coins (in Greek). | ||

| Abstract: Map by Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville (1697-1782), one of the finest cartographers of the 18th Century. He was known for the meticulousness of his work and this set him apart from his European contemporaries. He wanted to create cartographic maps based on astronomic observations and show only those phenomena that existed, thus leaving many empty spaces. He firmly believed that one could not fill a map with fictitious or superfluous material in order to compensate the lack of geographical knowledge available at the time. | ||

| The Parthian Stations (2007) | ||
| Carcanet, 2007, 96 p. | ||
| Abstract:
Modern poetry. The document known as "The Parthian Stations" is an account of the overland route from Antioch to the borders of India in the first century BC. John Ash's own "Parthian Stations" begins with his departure from New York to Istanbul. It is a journey, as he writes, not so much between contrasting cities as 'between different versions of the same city', to a place that is exotic and familiar, spanning West and East, past and present, where cultures and histories intersect. It holds memories and encounters: time dissolves, but it is also vividly real, with buses, restaurants and meetings with friends. Precise, witty and unpredictable, John Ash writes as the watchful outsider, with the insights of a resident. "The Parthian Stations" continues his exploration of what it means to be a part of a culture, to celebrate what is loved and ultimately unknowable. [Publisher] "The title poem tells of ancient Parthia and its clashes with Rome. As he contemplates forgotten names of places that signify "the people dying in their thousands, / corpses uncounted under the rubble", he laments ignorance of the past and the east, the casualties of Afghanistan and Iraq as well as of the Roman age. He also acknowledges how difficult it is to avoid failures of sympathy and understanding, to feel for so many dead."

| Abstract:
One conspicuous feature of Tacitus' Annals is the regularity with which the narrative is punctuated by sections on Parthia. Critics have offered a range of explanations for these digressions. So, Syme emphasises the contemporary historical importance of passages which illustrate the best technique for dealing efficiently with the Parthians, while Keitel argues that the contrapuntual narrative of events in Rome and in the east articulates the inevitable pattern that dynastic politics follow everywhere.(1) Both methods are valid and yield fruitful interpretations, but an analysis which blends the historical and the literary modes of investigation will prove a productive strategy, given the distinctive nature of ancient historiography as a genre. This paper examine Tacitus' account of a minor battle between the Parthians and a mixed Albanian, Iberian and Sarmatian army (Annals 6.34-5). By establishing how Tacitus constructs exaggerated ethnographical differences between these two eastern armies, I suggest that the historian deconstructs the traditional image of Parthia as an intimidating military power. Tacitus invests the prelude to the battle with distinctive literary colour, which polarises the leaders and armies on both sides and leads us to expect a momentous encounter, but the shambolic battle itself deflates the dramatic build-up. Tacitus adds rhetorical 'flesh' to the historical 'skeleton' of the battle and offers an exemplary lesson, not only about Parthian national character, but also about Tiberius' foreign policy. To some historians, the AD36 battle between Parthians and a motley collection of other eastern tribes might have seemed trivial enough to treat on a much smaller scale than Tacitus does. However, ancient historiography had as much to do with the writer's own world as it did with his past: Tacitus' unusual battle narrative, extended by literary touches, offers a provocative historical lesson to those Romans who had to pick up the pieces after Trajan's glamorous but ineffectual campaigns in the east.
