Apart from some direct information deriving from a few original works (tombs and tombstones) our knowledge of the evolution of ancient Greek painting is mainly based on the ancient sources; on vase painting the representations of which reflect to a certain extent the quests and the accomplishments of their great contemporary painters; on Roman wall-paintings which either copy or get inspiration from works of art of the Classical and the Hellenistic periods. The combined use of the above has helped us record the stages, repertoire, quests and achievements of an art which was especially praised by the ancient writers. Yet, it is only thanks to the superb wall-paintings recently discovered by Manolis Andronikos at Vergina that we were given the opportunity to evaluate the quality, feats and pursuits
Eukleia and Eurydice, daughter of Sirrhas. Revisiting old and newer marble finds from Vergina-Aegae*, 2023

I considered its subject a most fitting expression of appreciation for an excellent colleague who truly honoured her vocation, as head of the Ephorate responsible for the archaeological site at Vergina-Aegae, treating the long-lasting excavation of the Aristotle University there with respect for our shared teachers, Georgios Bakalakis and Manolis Andronikos, and academic sensitivity towards those who succeeded them and continue the project with their collaborators.

BC oversized marble statue of a young goddess, whose fragments were found in 1990, during the Aristotle University systematic excavation at the Agora of Vergina- Aegae, the old capital of the ancient Macedonian kingdom.Its suggested identification with Eukleia, is supported by an inscribed dedicatory inscription base, which preserves her name, along with the name and patronymic of the dedicator, Eurydice, daughter of Sirrhas, and wife of Amyntas III. The reason for the dedication may be related with a "political achievement" of the queen, after the death of her husband in 370 BC, and her influential role as a queen-mother, safeguarding the rise of Philip II to the Macedonian throne, after the death of his brother, Perdiccas II, in 360/59 BC.

Today a big discussion is being held about their capacity to create and reinforce concepts such as social cohesion, unity, mutual understanding and tolerance among the nations and cultures of Europe. Reformulating in a sense this scholarly question, this paper focus on the crucial role that European National Museums may play in the struggle for European integration, in European completion. In terms of cultural policy, EU policy makers and officials have developed the notion of European integration – the creation of a closer Union among people of Europe – by promoting the communality of Europe's past, by establishing a common European history and cultural heritage, on which a European identity will be based on. However, this challenge seems to be facing serious obstacles. ...

In Macedonian studies such attempts have tended to be less fruitful, due to the scanty nature of the material and literary evidence. Now that archaeological investigation has expanded so widely in Northern Greece, it may be time to reassess aspects of Macedonian culture which have in the past been tackled with more enthusiasm than actual evidence, not surprisingly in view of the age-long interest in the people who shaped the Hellenistic world.
