Ionian Antiquities through a Refugees' Lens (original) (raw)

2021

Abstract

This paper deals with the reception of antiquities in Ottoman Turkey by Greek refugees who settled in Greece in 1922, and the links between antiquities back in their ancestral lands on the one hand and their state of forced exile on the other. The focus is on the area of Ionia and, more specifically, the villages of Ayasolouk (Ephesus), Nymphaio (near Sardes) and Lithri (Erythrai). This paper delves into a number of oral testimonies collected by the Centre for Asia Minor Studies (oral history project that spanned the years 1930-1975) and, thus, gives prominence to the voice of ordinary men and women.
