Μαζική συμμετοχή πολιτών στη μεγάλη γιορτή «Καλαμαριά: Υγεία για όλους» στην Πλατεία Προσφυγικού Ελληνισμού
Με εντυπωσιακή συμμετοχή πολιτών, δωρεάν εξετάσεις, προληπτικούς ελέγχους, δράσεις ενημέρωσης και τη συνεργασία δεκάδων φορέων, συλλόγων, επιστημονικών οργανώσεων και επαγγελματιών υγείας, πραγματοποιήθηκε με απόλυτη επιτυχία η μεγάλη δράση «Καλαμαριά: Υγεία για Όλους» στην Πλατεία Προσφυγικού Ελληνισμού. Η πρωτοβουλία του Δήμου Καλαμαριάς μετέτρεψε την καρδιά της πόλης σε ένα ανοιχτό κέντρο πρόληψης, φροντίδας και ευαισθητοποίησης για τη δημόσια υγεία. Από νωρίς το πρωί, εκατοντάδες πολίτες κάθε ηλικίας προσήλθαν στους ειδικά διαμορφωμένους χώρους της δράσης, προκειμένου να υποβληθούν σε δωρεάν προληπτικούς ελέγχους και να ενημερωθούν για κρίσιμα ζητήματα υγείας. Έλεγχοι σακχάρου και αρτηριακής πίεσης, τεστ μνήμης, κλινική εξέταση μαστού, οφθαλμολογικός και δερματολογικός έλεγχος, έλεγχος ακουστικής ικανότητας, πρόληψη ανευρύσματος κοιλιακής αορτής, πελματογράφημα, συμβουλευτική για τη διακοπή καπνίσματος, ενημέρωση για τη στοματική υγεία, τη σεξουαλική υγεία, τον μητρικό θηλασμό, την ψυχική υγεία, τις πρώτες βοήθειες και την εθελοντική δωρεά μυελού των οστών ήταν μόνο μερικές από τις δεκάδες υπηρεσίες που προσφέρθηκαν στους δημότες και τους επισκέπτες της πόλης. «Η σημερινή ημέρα απέδειξε ότι η Καλαμαριά είναι μια πόλη που επενδύει στην πρόληψη, στη φροντίδα και στην ανθρώπινη ζωή. Η κοινωνική πολιτική του Δήμου Καλαμαριάς αναγνωρίζεται και διακρίνεται πανελλαδικά γιατί βρίσκεται δίπλα στον πολίτη με συνέπεια, σχέδιο και ουσιαστικές παρεμβάσεις. Η υγεία δεν είναι προνόμιο των λίγων αλλά δικαίωμα όλων και ο Δήμος μας θα συνεχίσει να δημιουργεί ευκαιρίες πρόληψης, ενημέρωσης και έγκαιρης διάγνωσης για κάθε δημότη», τόνισε η Δήμαρχος Καλαμαριάς Χρύσα Αράπογλου. Ιδιαίτερη αξία στη διοργάνωση έδωσε η συμμετοχή δεκάδων συλλόγων, εθελοντικών οργανώσεων, επιστημονικών φορέων, υγειονομικών δομών και επαγγελματιών υγείας, οι οποίοι ένωσαν τις δυνάμεις τους με τον Δήμο Καλαμαριάς, αποδεικνύοντας ότι η κοινωνική αλληλεγγύη και η συνεργασία μπορούν να παράγουν ουσιαστικό κοινωνικό αποτύπωμα. Η δράση πραγματοποιήθηκε με τη συνεργασία του Ελληνικού Διαδημοτικού Δικτύου Υγιών Πόλεων του Παγκόσμιου Οργανισμού Υγείας, της 4ης Υγειονομικής Περιφέρειας Μακεδονίας και Θράκης και του Κέντρου Υγείας 25ης Μαρτίου. www.ertnews.gr

Ειδικό μέτρο στη Νορβηγία για το Μουντιάλ: Παράταση στο ωράριο πώλησης αλκοόλ
Οι Νορβηγοί οπαδοί ποδοσφαίρου θα μπορούν να απολαμβάνουν το αλκοόλ και αργά το βράδυ κατά τη διάρκεια του φετινού Μουντιάλ, σύμφωνα με μέτρο που εγκρίθηκε σήμερα από το Κοινοβούλιο. Η πώληση αλκοόλ σε δημόσιους χώρους απαγορεύεται βάσει νόμου μετά τις 3:00 τα ξημερώματα στη σκανδιναβική χώρα. Ωστόσο, με αυτή την προσωρινή εξαίρεση, που ψηφίστηκε από τη Βουλή σήμερα, οι δήμοι θα μπορούν, από τις 11 Ιουνίου έως τις 19 Ιουλίου, να άρουν αυτήν την απαγόρευση σε χώρους που μεταδίδουν αγώνες του Μουντιάλ, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη διαφορά ώρας. Το Παγκόσμιο Κύπελλο Ποδοσφαίρου 2026 διεξάγεται στις ΗΠΑ, στο Μεξικό και στον Καναδά, με μεγάλη διαφορά ώρας στην τηλεοπτική μετάδοση των αγώνων ανά χώρα. Η εξαίρεση ισχύει για την πώληση μπύρας και κρασιού, αλλά όχι για άλλα αλκοολούχα ποτά. Η αστυνομία του Όσλο είχε προειδοποιήσει κατά αυτής της απελευθέρωσης, υποστηρίζοντας ότι αυτή η περίοδος είναι ήδη εξαιρετικά φορτωμένη για την αστυνομία. Για τη Νορβηγία, με σούπερ σταρ τον ποδοσφαιριστή Έρλινγκ Χάλαντ, το φετινό Μουντιάλ σηματοδοτεί την πρώτη συμμετοχή της σκανδιναβικής χώρας σε μεγάλο τουρνουά μετά το 1998. Καθώς κληρώθηκαν στον πρώτο όμιλο με τη Γαλλία, τη Σενεγάλη και το Ιράκ, οι Σκανδιναβοί, λόγω της διαφοράς ώρας, θα παίξουν ορισμένους από τους αγώνες τους, συμπεριλαμβανομένου αυτού εναντίον της Σενεγάλης στις 22 Ιουνίου, στη μέση της νύχτας, ώρα Νορβηγίας.

Five Captivating Novels Set in Ancient Greece
Francis Oliver Finch (1802-1862). Classical Landscape with Figures, watercolor painting. Credit: Yale Center for British Art, via Wikimedia Commons. Public domain. Recently, more and more foreign authors have been turning to ancient Greece to get inspiration for their novels. Contemporary writers, mainly British and American, draw on Greek mythology to add depth to their stories. And who can blame them? With its beautiful ancient setting and rich mythological and religious themes, ancient Greece makes for an ideal backdrop to a novel. The appeal of ancient Greece as a setting for novels The trend of setting novels in ancient Greece began in the middle of the 20th century in the 1960s. Ancient Greece has remained a popular choice for authors. Apart from the breathtaking scenery it offers, full of gorges and temples, ancient Greece’s rich history and mythology add thrilling elements to any story, transporting the reader in what, for some, is the greatest epoch of all time. By writing novels set in ancient Greece, authors can pick and choose out of a rich pool of myths and legends, such as vengeful or benevolent gods, epic heroes, and mythical beasts. These make for a nice respite from dramatic events like the Trojan War or fights between formidable city-states such as Athens and Sparta. In recent years, authors have also begun exploring lesser-known myths and figures, including those of Theseus, Penelope (Odysseus’ faithful wife), and the sorceress Circe. The authors of the following five novels set in ancient Greece bring the period to life through their words, and one can expect to be swept away into a world of gods, monsters, and unforgettable heroes and heroines. Five breathtaking novels set in ancient Greece The King Must Die, by Mary Renault The King Must Die is one of the two novels in the Theseus series by British author Mary Renault, published in 1958. It is a vivid reimagining of the myth of Theseus that traces his story from a noble youth to a legendary hero through his epic battles with the Minotaur and his struggles to defend his throne, which is threatened by usurpers. The novel is set on Minoan Crete, with its splendid palaces and rich, vibrant culture. Whether you’re a Greek history connoisseur or not, the story will draw you into a world of ceremony, the intricacies of ancient Greek politics, and the labyrinth where Theseus battles one of Greek mythology’s most famous monsters. 2. The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller The Song of Achilles is Madeline Miller‘s debut novel and winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2012. As per its title, it is about one of the most popular heroes in ancient Greek myth, Achilles, and is narrated by his cousin Patroclus. Miller’s novel has been praised for its beautiful prose that explores the deep bond between Achilles and Patroclus amid the chaos of the Trojan War. It transports readers into the heart of the Greek-Trojan battlefield but also offers them repose in the serene landscapes of ancient Greece, its grand mountains, and sparkling coasts. Pick it up this summer if you want a dose of ancient Greek beauty, heroic feats, and romance, all bound together by Miller’s captivating prose. 3. The Penelopiad, by Margaret Atwood The Penelopiad is one of those novels that explores lesser-known and underrepresented figures in ancient Greek mythology, in this case Odysseus’ patient wife, Penelope. Published in 2005, it is a retelling of the myth of Odysseus from Penelope’s point of view as she navigates life in court during her husband’s absence. With The Penelopiad, Margaret Atwood gives Penelope a voice, whereas in The Odyssey she has none. In this way, the reader gets to know her character and wit in the schemes against her suitors. Set in the idyllic landscape of Ithaca, it is the perfect novel if you want to be transported to the oasis of a Greek island but also delve into the myth of Odysseus with a more critical stance. 4. A Thousand Ships, by Natalie Haynes  Continuing the trend of using ancient Greece as a background to exploring women’s stories, A Thousand Ships is a retelling of the Trojan War through a female lens. Haynes brings a range of female figures from ancient Greek myth to life, including well-known characters such as Cassandra, Andromache, and the goddesses Eris and Athena. She also shines a light on lesser-known figures such as Creusa of Troy, daughter of King Priam, and Penthesilea, the Amazonian queen. A Thousand Ships takes its readers on a journey through the lustrous city of Troy and the rugged landscapes of the ancient Greek world. It tells the individual stories of these female characters, depicting how the Trojan War affects them both from within besieged Troy and from afar. 5. Circe, by Madeline Miller Most people remember Circe as the enchantress who kept Odysseus stranded on her island for a year on his way home to Ithaca. In her novel, Miller reimagines Circe as a powerful figure and traces the goddess’ journey from a sheltered life in her father Helios’ glittering palace to her exile on the remote, wild island of Aeaea. During her exile, Circe encounters important Greek gods and heroes, some of whom help her and others who oppose her. She comes across gods like Hermes, the hunter Apollo, and Athena, as well as notable figures such as Daedalus, Jason, and Medea. Of course, she also even happens upon Odysseus. By blending the grandeur of myth with human emotion, all set against the rich green and golden landscapes of ancient Greek islands and the mainland, Miller provides readers with a truly unforgettable experience.

Greece Celebrates Anniversary of Union With Ionian Islands
The military parade in Corfu to mark the union of the Ionian Islands with Greece. Credit: AMNA The profound historical significance of the unification of the Ionian Islands with Greece’s national fabric 162 years ago was honored on Thursday in Corfu. Attending the commemorative events, the President of the Hellenic Parliament, Konstantinos Tasoulas, emphasized that the anniversary carries a modern message calling for a renewed, collective effort to ensure the prosperity and security of Greece. “The Union of the Ionian Islands strengthens the geopolitical foundation of the Greek state, honors the struggles of the Ionian people, and reminds us all of our duty today,” Tasoulas stated. “Inspired by those historic struggles, we must dedicate even greater efforts toward the progress of the Ionian Islands, as well as the prosperity and security of Greece against any threat.” Following the commemorative parade, Tasoulas paid tribute to Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first Governor of modern Greece, by laying a wreath at his monument. Reflecting on the historical context of the unification, Tasoulas added: “Today, we celebrate and honor the historic 162nd anniversary of the Union of the Ionian Islands with Greece. The integration of Corfu and the wider Ionian region into the national fabric took place at a time when our clear national ideology was the Megali Idea (Grand Idea). This vision dominated the political life of the country for decades—a national ideology firmly rooted in unshakeable ethnic and historical foundations.” After nearly six centuries of Venetian rule, the Ionian Islands fell successively under French, Russo-Turkish (as the “Septinsular Republic”) and finally British control (as the “United States of the Ionian Islands”). British rule of Ionian Islands It was at the Congress of Vienna in 1814 and 1815 which granted the United Kingdom full sovereignty over all of the Ionian islands, after the British navy defeated the French. The Ionian Islands then was given a bicameral legislature, titled the “Parliament of the United States of the Ionian Islands,” and composed of a Legislative Assembly and a Senate, something very similar to what the USA has. The United States of the Ionian Islands was formed as a federation, with each one of the seven main islands constituting one member-state in the federation. This was depicted not only in the coat of arms of the island federation, but also on its coinage. In order to maintain its sovereignty on the islands, the UK appointed a ”Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands,” who was traditionally chosen by the British monarch. The capital of the United States of the Ionian Islands was Corfu, where the chambers of the Assembly and the Senate were established. The union with Greece As was only natural, the islanders gradually but steadily began to demand a political union with their motherland, the Kingdom of Greece. Skirmishes took place on most of the islands between the Greeks and the British throughout the decades of British rule, with the British Army often intervening to impose order. The final years of British rule were actually quite difficult for the islanders. The British decided to make Greek the official language of the States, something that surprisingly had not been the case in the past. The party of the Radicals demanded union with Greece, and many of its MPs, including Detoratos Typaldos, Frangiskos Domeneginis and Telemachus Paizis among many others, signed the proposed parliamentary bill which called for the union of the United States of the Ionian Islands with Greece nearly fifteen years before the union actually occurred. Photo of delegates of the Ionian Parliament who voted for the union with Greece in October 5, 1863 The United Kingdom, as it has done throughout the history of the British Empire, responded with force and violence to the growing movement for independence and union with Greece. Persecutions, arrests, imprisonments and exile were their common practices to suppress the growing desire of the local people to join with their Greek motherland. Eventually, on March 29, 1864, after nearly a decade of turbulence, the United Kingdom decided to offer the Ionian Islands as a present to the newly-enthroned King George I of Greece, who was a dyed-in-the-wool Anglophile. Thus, on May 21, 1864, by proclamation of the Lord High Commissioner, the Ionian Islands were officially united with Greece, beginning the new, modern chapter in their long history.
