The Sanctuary of the Great Gods on the island of Samothrace was a renowned center of religious life in the eastern Mediterranean from the seventh century BC until the fourth century of the Christian era and the mysteries practiced there rank in age and historical importance with those of Eleusis Volume 10 of the records of the Samothrace excavations focuses on the elaborate Propylon dedicated by Ptolemy II which was from early Hellenistic times the entrance to the Sanctuary Among ancient Greek gatehouses only the Propylaia of the Athenian Akropolis matched the Samothracian Propylon in precipitousness of site and number of unusual featuresThe Propylon was a large marble templelike buildingamphiprostyle and hexastyle Its massive substructure was penetrated by a wide vaulted tunnel through which flowed the waters of the torrent that formed the Sanctuarys eastern boundary This courageous feat of Hellenistic engineering had its counterpart in the artistic audacity of the superstructure which exhibited an Ionic facade facing the road from the city of Samothrace and a Corinthian facade facing the causeway between the Propylon and the sacred precinct The narrow stairway to the buildings attic suggests that the Propylon may have had a role in the mystery cults liturgy

A native of Lincoln Nebraska Loren Eiseley began his lifelong exploration of nature in the salt flats and ponds around his hometown and in the mammoth bone collection hoarded in the old red brick museum at the University of Nebraska where heÂnbspconducted his studies in anthropology It was in pursuit of this interest and in the expression of his natural curiosity and wonder that Eiseley sprang to national fame with the publication of such works as The Immense Journey and The Firmament of TimeIn All the Strange Hours Eiseley turns his considerable powers of reflection and discovery on his own life to weave a compelling story related with the modesty grace and keen eye for a telling anecdote that distinguish his work His story begins with his childhood experiences as a sickly afterthought weighed down by the loveless union of his parents From there he traces the odyssey that led to his search for early postglacial manâand into inspiriting philosophical territoryâculminating in his uneasy achievement of world renown Eiseley crafts an absorbing selfportrait of a man who has thought deeply about his place in society as well as humanityâs place in the natural world
