The stratagem of the ox-hide is repeatedly referred as main theme of the foundation of towns, cities, and kingdoms, from the British Islands to the Balkans and eastern Eurasia. By the time of the genesis of the new nation-states in the Balkans the Didonian archetype has been re-proposed in the case of the foundation of the town of Naoussa, in Northern Greece, now with the Ottoman conqueror of the Balkans playing the role of Dido. His name was Gazi Evrenoz Beg, a Greek renegade who appears in a Greek manuscript found in Naoussa with attributes and characteristics taken by the Graeco-Roman vernacular and written tradition. In this article is studied and analyzed the survival of the ancient myth in the modern times focusing on the reproduction of it in the nineteenth century Balkans.

The new Neolithic site is considered within the wider cultural context of the Ionian Islands, in the late 5 th /4 th millennium BC. Our current knowledge suggests a permanent Neolithic occupation at the site, as opposed to seasonal occupation or to a special purpose occupation. The Neolithic people at the School of Homer may have been part of a dynamic network of Late/Final Neolithic installations in Western Greece, engaging themselves in interregional communal connections along the routes of the most ancient seafaring in the Ionian Sea.

Dreams offer to him an alternating status of being through a personal transformation into realities belonging to the kingdom of the subconscious. in Greece, before the arrival of the Olympian deities, big cult centers as those of Dodona and Delphi are connected with the adoration of the Earth, and dreams play a central role in the function of religious procedures. Due to various social changes, cults and religiosity loose their Pre Archaic character, and dreams become more a personal way of divination, regarding the whole society and not just the individual. Political way of life and new types of government that preannounce the democratic city - state determine the differentiation of the religious thought, while in kingdoms of the Middle and Near East, where primitive royal - based societies prevail, the personal oneiric experiences of the monarchs influence the whole society. Dreams and their religious public use involve old patterns of human acceptance of the hyperbatic, as opposed to Greek states, where dream experience becomes an isolate and personal phenomenon.
