Explore Phaistos Disc Collection
The Phaistos Disc is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the island of Crete. Now, the island of Crete is part of modern Greece. The disc was discovered in 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos. While it is not clear that it is a script, most attempted decipherments assume that it is; most additionally assume a syllabary, others an alphabet or logography or a calendar, making it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology. The disk is about 15 cm in diameter and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols. The disc features 241 tokens, comprising 45 distinct signs, which were apparently made by pressing hieroglyphic “seals” into a disc of soft clay, in a clockwise sequence spiraling toward the center of the disk. This unique object is now on display at the archaeological museum of Heraklion.

Θεά Αθηνά και Κουκουβάγια – Αθηναϊκό ασημένιο τετράδραχμο.
Κατασκευασμένο από ασήμι 925.
Αυτό το νόμισμα ανήκει στα λεγόμενα «αθηναϊκά νομίσματα νέου στυλ» που κόπηκαν μεταξύ 166 και 64 π.Χ. και θεωρείται ένα από τα πιο δημοφιλή αρχαία ελληνικά νομίσματα που απεικονίζουν το πορτρέτο της Θεάς Αθηνάς. Η Αθηνά σχετίζεται με τη σοφία, τη χειροτεχνία και τον πόλεμο. Η Αθηνά θεωρούνταν προστάτιδα διαφόρων πόλεων σε όλη την Ελλάδα, αλλά ιδιαίτερα της Αθήνας, η οποία πήρε το όνομά της από εκείνη. Συνήθως εμφανίζεται στην τέχνη φορώντας κράνος και κρατώντας ένα δόρυ. Τα κύρια σύμβολά της περιλαμβάνουν κουκουβάγιες, ελιές και φίδια. Οι ναοί της βρίσκονταν στην οχυρωμένη Ακρόπολη στο κεντρικό τμήμα της πόλης. Ο Παρθενώνας στην Ακρόπολη της Αθήνας είναι αφιερωμένος σε αυτήν, μαζί με πολλούς άλλους ναούς και μνημεία. Το κύριο πανηγύρι της στην Αθήνα ήταν τα Παναθήναια, τα οποία γιορτάζονταν το καλοκαίρι και ήταν το σημαντικότερο πανηγύρι του αθηναϊκού ημερολογίου. Στο κλασικό Ολύμπιο πάνθεον, η Αθηνά θεωρούνταν η αγαπημένη κόρη του Δία. Η κουκουβάγια συνοδεύει παραδοσιακά την Αθηνά. Λόγω αυτής της συσχέτισης, η κουκουβάγια έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί ως σύμβολο γνώσης και σοφίας. Οι επιγραφές περιέχουν την «εθνική» ονομασία της πόλης («ΑΘΕ», δηλαδή «των Αθηναίων»).

Ο οπάλιος (οπάλ) είναι ένα υλικό ασυνήθιστο ως προς τη δομή του. Είναι άμορφο (σαν το γυαλί), η σύστασή του είναι διοξείδιο του πυριτίου, SiO2. Η ιδιαιτερότητα του οπάλιου, έγκειται στο γεγονός, ότι περιέχει στην μάζα του μία ποσότητα περίπου 10% νερό. To SiO2 με το νερό σχηματίζουν μικρά σφαιρίδια τα οποία διατάσσονται στο χώρο, σχηματίζοντας διάφορα γεωμετρικά σχήματα. Όταν περνάει το φως μέσα από αυτές τις διατάξεις, διαθλάται και διαχέεται κατά τυχαίες διευθύνσεις, με αποτέλεσμα η επιφάνεια του ορυκτού, να εμφανίζει την σπάνια εναλλαγή των διάφορων χρωμάτων που ιριδίζουν.

Στους αρχαίους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες δεν υπήρχαν χρυσά, αργυρά ή χάλκινα μετάλλια. Υπήρχε μόνο ένας νικητής ανά εκδήλωση, ο οποίος στέφονταν με ένα στεφάνι ελιάς.

Goddess Athena and Owl – Athenian silver tetradrachm
Dracma was the currency used in Greece during several periods in its history. The tetradrachm was an Ancient Greek silver coin equivalent to fourdrachmae in Athens it replaced the earlier “heraldic” type of didrachms and it was in wide circulation from ca. 510 to ca. 38 BC. This coin belongs to the so-called “new style Athenian coins” minted between 166 and 64 B.C. and is considered one of the most popular ancient Greek coins which illustrate the portrait of Goddess Athena on the one side and the wisdom owl on the other. Athena is an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, handicraft, and warfare. Athena was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which she most likely received her name. She’s usually shown in art wearing a helmet and holding a spear. Her major symbols include owls, olive trees, and snakes. Her temples were located atop the fortified Acropolis in the central part of the city. The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis is dedicated to her, along with numerous other temples and monuments. Her main festival in Athens was the Panathenaia, which was celebrated in midsummer and was the most important festival on the Athenian calendar.

Το ίδιο σχέδιο είναι επίσης γνωστό ως ελληνικό κλειδί ή φρέζα, αν και αυτοί οι όροι είναι σύγχρονες ονομασίες. Από τη μία πλευρά, το όνομα «Μαιάνδρος» παραπέμπει στην περίπλοκη πορεία του ποταμού Μαιάνδρου στη Μικρά Ασία, και από την άλλη, όπως επισημαίνει ο Κάρλ Κερένυι, «ο Μαιάνδρος είναι η γραμμική μορφή του λαβυρίνθου», δηλώνοντας έτσι την απουσία αρχής και τέλους. Για αυτό το λόγο συμβολίζει τη μακροζωία και την αιωνιότητα.

Η ροζέτα
Η ροζέτα (ή ρόδο) αποτελεί ένα διαχρονικό κόσμημα, σύμβολο και φυλαχτό. Η λέξη προέρχεται από το ελληνικό ρόδον (τριαντάφυλλο). Η χρήση της ξεκινά από την εποχή των Μυκηναίων και φτάνει μέχρι το 2ο χιλιετηρίδα π.Χ.
Η μυκηναϊκή ροζέτα ήταν ένα μοτίβο διαδεδομένο στη Μεσοποταμία, την Αίγυπτο, την Ελλάδα και άλλους αρχαίους πολιτισμούς. Εμπνεύστηκε από μια μυκηναϊκή χάντρα ροζέτας που βρέθηκε στις Μυκήνες και χρονολογείται γύρω στο 1400-1300 π.Χ.
Η ροζέτα χρησιμοποιήθηκε εκτενώς στα αρχαία ελληνικά μυκηναϊκά κοσμήματα, στην αρχιτεκτονική, την κεραμική και τα γλυπτά ήδη από το 1500 π.Χ.
Οι μυκηναϊκές ροζέτες είχαν συνήθως 6, 8, 12 ή ακόμα και 16 φύλλα, με παραλλαγές ανάλογα με την εποχή και τις πεποιθήσεις.
Οι ροζέτες στόλιζαν τα ενδύματα, τις ζώνες και τα στεφάνια των βασιλιάδων.
Ο αριθμός των φύλλων είχε συμβολικό χαρακτήρα, αναπαριστώντας στοιχεία όπως τα τέσσερα στοιχεία της φύσης (άνεμος, γη, φωτιά, νερό), τα επτά θαύματα του αρχαίου κόσμου, τους δώδεκα θεούς του Ολύμπου, καθώς και την κυριαρχία και τη λάμψη των Μακεδόνων βασιλιάδων.
Αποτελούσαν σύμβολα ομορφιάς, αγνότητας, ευγονίας, λατρείας και δύναμης.

Ο σχεδιασμός Μαίανδρος είναι ένα διακοσμητικό περιθώριο που αποτελείται από μια συνεχή γραμμή, σχηματίζοντας επαναλαμβανόμενο μοτίβο. Αυτός ο σχεδιασμός ονομάζεται επίσης ελληνικό κλειδί ή ελληνικό γλυφτό, αν και αυτές είναι σύγχρονες ονομασίες. Από τη μία πλευρά, το όνομα «μαίανδρος» θυμίζει την στριφογυριστή πορεία του ποταμού Μαίανδρου στη Μικρά Ασία, και από την άλλη, όπως επεσήμανε ο Κάρλ Κερένυι, «ο μαίανδρος είναι η μορφή ενός λαβύρινθου σε γραμμική μορφή». Αυτό σημαίνει ότι δεν έχει αρχή ούτε τέλος, γι’ αυτό αποτελεί σύμβολο μακροζωίας και αιωνιότητας.
