# Daniel Chonkadze

Daniel Giorgis dze Chonkadze (Georgian: დანიელ გიორგის ძე ჭონქაძე) (c. 1830 – June 16, 1860) was a Georgian novelist. He is primarily known for his resonant novella "Surami Fortress", which contained social commentary of early 19th century Georgia and criticized serfdom; it was subsequently made into a film.
In addition to his contributions to Georgian literature, Chonkadze was also a teacher and translator of the Ossetian language and folklore, for which he has been described as "a founder-father of Ossetic literature".

## Biography

Chonkadze was born to a peasant family near Dusheti, Georgia, then part of the Russian Empire. His native village housed both Georgians and Ossetians, which inspired the future writer's lively interest in both Georgian and Ossetian folk traditions. Educated at the seminaries of Vladikavkaz and Tbilisi, Chonkadze then taught Ossetic in Stavropol and Tbilisi in the 1850s. Simultaneously he served as a church official, but later abandoned his clerical status. Much of his work was on Georgian and Ossetic folklore. He authored an unfinished Russian-Ossetic dictionary, and wrote down a collection of Ossetic proverbs using an alphabet invented by Professor Anders Sjögren for the Ossetians. For this reason, he has been recognized by some as "a founder-father of Ossetic literature".
Chonkadze’s first and last published work, Suramis tsikhe, garnered a long-lasting success. Published in 1859/60 in the Georgian literary journal Tsiskari ("Dawn"), the novella is a mixture of folklore, history, political protest, and romantic drama in which Chonkadze passionately attacks serfdom. For censorship reasons, the tale was given a medieval setting filled with allegories. The contemporary socio-political system is symbolized by the crumbling Surami fortress that requires a living person to be buried within its walls to stand firm. The novel was filmed by the eminent Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov who directed his multi-award-winning The Legend of Suram Fortress in the 1980s.
Chonkadze died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty, and many of his writings were destroyed by his relatives as a potential source of infection.
# Max Johannes Arildskov

Max Johannes Arildskov (17 February 1896 – 1986) was a Danish Nazi political activist and collaborator prior to and during World War II.

## Biography

In 1919, he met with his father to the Estonian Independence War, where he advanced to Lieutenant in the Danish-Baltic Auxiliary Corps. The corps contract expired, and most of them had returned to Denmark at the end of August 1919, [1] but some veterans Arildskov joined the Swedish Legion, a part of Admiral Alexander Koltsjak's Russian Northwest Army under General Nikolai Yudenich. The Northwest Army consisted of Zaren's life kosaks and other "white" Russians, a worn and ill-equipped army who attacked Petrograd in October 1919. A battle that became a strategically important victory for the Bolsheviks.
In 1932 he met Frits Clausen and joined his political grouping National Socialist Workers' Party of Denmark (DNSAP). He quickly advanced through the ranks, first as district leader, later member of the party staff and eventually became a candidate for the parliamentary elections in 1943. When DNSAP lost the election he blamed Fritz Clausen for his failures. On 5 May he started his own party, New Denmark (Danish: Nye Danmark), and on 4 June he was excluded from DNSAP.
In October 1943, he co-founded the Schalburg Corps in collaboration with the Danish People's Defence. Later he contributed to the creation of the Landstormen, a paramilitary militia, who reached the size of about 200 people. On 9 January 1944 he became commander of this militia.
In July 1944, he dismantled the Schalburg Corps together with the corps administrator Jens Peter Krandrup.
After the war he was arrested, and after a trial was sentenced to eight years in prison. However he was pardoned on 9 May 1948. He died in 1986.
# Lake Marathon

Lake Marathon or the Marathon Reservoir (Greek: Λίμνη Μαραθώνος [Limni Marathónos] or Λίμνη Μαραθώνα [Limni Marathóna]) is a man-made water supply reservoir formed from the construction of Marathon Dam at the junction of Charadros and Varnavas Torrents near the town of Marathon, Greece. It was the primary water supply for Athens from 1931, when it became operational, until 1959. In 1959 water from Lake Yliki became available, and water from Mornos Reservoir became available in 1981.
The area of the lake at the height of the spillway of the dam is 2.45 square kilometres, the maximum depth is 54 m, the lake concentrates water from a drainage basin of 118 square kilometres with an average runoff of 14,400,000 m³ per year in an average rainfall of 580 mm per year, the average inbound volume is 12,000,000 m³ per year and the maximum reservoir capacity is 41,000,000 m³ (effective volume 34,000,000 m³).
The dam has a maximum height (from foundation to crest) of 54 m, a maximum width of 28 m at the base and 4.5 m at the crest. Its length is 285 m. The crest is 227 m above sea level, the toe is 173 m above sea level, and the spillway is 223 m above sea level. The spillway disgorges 520 m³/s. The dam is constructed from concrete and is a gravity dam. It is unique worldwide because its external cladding of white pentelikon marble is the same marble used in construction of the Parthenon and the other buildings in the Acropolis. The dam was constructed by the American firm ULEN (which had, in a BOT type contract, the ownership of the water supply company of Athens until 1974). It was constructed to meet the increased water demand caused by the rapid population increase in the Athens area following the huge influx of refugees from Asia Minor during and after the end of Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922). The construction lasted from 1926 to 1929.

# Hermoniakos' Iliad

The Hermoniakos' Iliad (Greek: Ἰλιάς Κωνσταντίνου Ἑρμονιακοῦ) is a 14th-century Byzantine paraphrase of the Iliad composed by Constantine Hermoniakos. The poem was commissioned by the Despot of Epirus, who asked Hermoniakos to write a new version of this epic in the Greek vernacular language.

## Background and text

Constantine Hermoniakos was a 14th-century Byzantine scholar and poet. Little is known about him, except that he lived in the courtly circles of Arta, the capital of the Despotate of Epirus, a successor state of the Byzantine Empire. After being commissioned by the Despot John II Orsini (1323–1335) and his wife Anna Palaiologina, ca. 1330, he composed his paraphrase of Homer's epic Iliad. The poem consists of 8,799 unrhymed trochaic octasyllables and is divided into 24 rhapsodies and 142 chapters.

## Contents and style

Hermoniakos' Iliad was mainly based on two 12th century works: the Chronike Synopsis of Constantine Manasses and John Tzetzes' Allegories of the Iliad. His intention was to make Homer easy to comprehend for his contemporaries, so while some sections are copied verbatim, others are considerably altered to remove "pagan" references to the Olympian gods and to reflect the more familiar circumstances of the late medieval Greek world. As for the plot, Hermoniakos deals with both the war itself as well as the events that happened before and after. However he falsifies the events of the Iliad and introduces characters that were alien to the Trojan Cycle, thus giving for example Achilles a regiment of Hungarian and Bulgarian troops.
The poem is written in a vernacular language with a mix of learned and popular idioms. Moreover, it has been argued that Hermoniakos' work was an example of Byzantine pedantry and shows considerably less exposure to western courtly romance than other works of that era, like the novel Kallimachos and Chrysorrhoe. The work was published by Emile Legrand in 1890.
