Abstract

Kytherian Valerios Stais is widely recognised for his efforts as a curator of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and as the first excavator of the temple of Poseidon at Sounio, Attica, Greece. Even though there are two published biographies of Stais, one appearing after his death 1923 and the other in 1992, the rest of his work on the Antikythera mechanism and the prehistory of Thessaly is largely forgotten today. In this paper, the lifelong achievements of Valerios Stais are presented and a special focus has been given on the importance of his pioneering work on the acropoleis of Sesklo and Dimini and the recognition of the unique technological achievement represented by the Antikythera mechanism. In evaluating Stais’s achievements, we meet a persona with a unique influence on the formation of modern Greek archaeology.

被遗忘的先驱:Valerios Stais和他在基西拉，安提基西拉和色萨里的研究

Kytherian Valerios Stais作为雅典国家考古博物馆的馆长，以及希腊阿提卡(Attica)苏尼奥(Sounio)波塞冬神庙的第一位挖掘者，他的努力得到了广泛的认可。尽管有两本斯泰斯的传记出版，一本在1923年他去世后出版，另一本在1992年出版，但他关于安提基西拉机械和色萨里的史前史的其他工作在今天基本上被遗忘了。在本文中，介绍了Valerios Stais的终身成就，并特别关注了他在Sesklo和Dimini卫城的开创性工作的重要性，以及对Antikythera机制所代表的独特技术成就的认可。在评价斯泰斯的成就时，我们遇到了一个对现代希腊考古学形成具有独特影响的人物。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
