Before Minoan Crete: Sir Arthur Evans' travelling across the Balkans (Τίτλος περίληψης)

Περιγραφή

The aim of this article is to unfold a half-lightened side of Sir Arthur Evans’ plethoric multidimensional personality, which is connected to his travels in the Balkans before his arrival to Crete andhis “noisy” pioneering work concerning the discovery and the archaeological definition of the Minoan civilization. Inspired by the mythological “gravity” of the Mediterranean World, influenced by the ar- chaeological family past, lived and educated within an intellectual urban environment, urged by the passion of knowledge and adventure, and following the “fashion” of Orientalism and Romanticism, he is travelling across the Western and Southern Balkans during the sensitive years 1871-1884, a period of dense political events, due to the Berlin Treaty (1878), which resettled the European territory of the Ottoman Empire based on the interests of the Great Powers by recognizing the independency of Ser- bia, Montenegro and Bulgaria and the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. As official correspondent of The Manchester Guardian and loyal follower of the liberal policy of Gladstone, Sir Arthur Evans supported the Slav independency, fact that led him to imprisonment by the Austrian authorities. Using his journalistic quality, he settled in Ragusa and he is revealing his interest in studying the remains of many ancient and Roman cities, in locating the continental and maritime network of Roman routes, in collecting seals and coins, in describing the customs and the clothes of the local mountainous populations, in negotiating between the tough Turkish beys and the Slav rebellions and in offering help and accommodation to the Bosnian refugees. The sides of this rich political, antiquarian and scientific activity were published during his keepership in the Ashmolean Museum. His books are a combination of a vivid description, accompanied always with his personal drawings, and of a precise, detailed research on many aspects of the Roman period of unknown cities and villages, from the important Adriatic ports to the center of the Balkans. His narrations are enriched with specific reports on the natural sources of the region, on the new proposed regime of administra- tion, on the character of the local people, on the religious syncretism, on the importance of the Illyrian culture and on the support of the national Slav issue without hesitating to oppose to the anti-Slav policy of the British Consulates. His published work had a very serious impact, since it was a synthesis of cul- tural information and of specific propositions about the future of the Balkans, which familiarized the European audience and political elites to the details of the difficult Eastern Issue. Arthur Evans was stained by his presence in the Balkans, even after his Minoan adventure, and he never stopped in- teresting in the future of the region, as proved by his official participation in the Balkan Committee (1912-1919) concerning the redefinition of the borders between the new born States. “Travelling” with Arthur Evans across the Balkans is really a fascinating experience for any scholar.
