          SECOND SPEECH OF XENOPHON ZOLOTAS
                      IN WASHINGTON D.C. IN 1959.

 As promised we are going to publish the second speech of 
 Professor Xenophon  Zolotas in the annual meeting, Board of
 Governonrs,  Wathington D.C.   on October 2, 1959.

 I personally chose that date which marks exactly 56 years to the
 date.

                    Here is how he addressed his audience
  and keep in mind that he spoke to an American audience using
  only Greek words..   That is the power of the Hellenic language.
                               
                                     THE SPEECH

       Kyrie,
       It is Zeus' anathema on our epoch and the heresy of our
       economic method and policies that we should agonize the
      Skylla of nomismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic
      anaemia. It is not my idiosyncracy to be ironic or sarcastic but
      my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptopletho
      rists. 
      Although they emphatically stigmatize nomistmatic plethora,
      they energize it through their  tactics and proctices.
      
      Our policies should be based more on economic and less on
      political criteria. Our gnomon has to be a metron between 
      eonomic strategic and philanthropic scopes. In an epoch 
      characterrized by monopolies, oligopolies, monopolistic anta-
      gonism nd polymorphous inelasticities, our policies have to be
      more orthological, but this sould not be metamorphosed into
      plethorophobia, which is endemic among academic econo-
      mists.  Nomismatic symmetry should not antagonize economic
      acme.  A greater hormonization between the practices of the
      economic, nomismatic archons is basic.

     Parallel to this we have to synchronize and harmonize more
     and more our economic and nomismatic policies panethnically

     These scopes are more practicable now, when the prognostics
     of  the political and economic barometer are halcyonic.
    The history of our didimus organization on this sphere has 
    been didatic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic
    to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. 

    Therefore, I sympathize, although not without criticism one or
    two themes with the apostles and the hierarchy of our organs 
    in their zeal to program orthodox economic and nomismatic
    policies.  I apologize for having tyranized you with my Hellenic
    phraseology.
    In my epilogue I emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous 
   aytochtons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium 
   to you Kyrie, the stenographers.

    HISTORIC SPEECHES OF XENOPHON ZOLOTAS

                          IN WASHINGTON D.C.

Professor Xenophon Zolotas ( who was also a short-term minister of Greece ) made two speeches in Washington, USA

that remained in HISTORY because of their content and their

language. The language- apart from conjunctions, articles and

prepositions- was Greek, but the english-speaking audience had

no trouble understanding Zolotas' speech.

  1957 Annual Meeting, Boards of Governors, Washington D.C.

At that time Professor Zolotas was the President of the Bank of

Greece and he was managing the National financial Obligation.

                          Addressing  his  audience

"  I always wished to address this Assembly in Greek, but realized

    that it would have been indeed  "Greek" to all present in this

   room.  I found out , however, that I could make my address in

   Greek which would still be English to everybody. With your

   permission Mr. Chairman, I shall do it now, using with the 

   exception of aricles and prepositions, only  Greek words."

                                 THE SPEECH

 " Kyrie, 

    I eulogize the archons of the Panethnic Numismatic Thesaurus

    and the Ecumenical Trapeza for the orthodoxy of their axioms

    methods and policies, although there is an episode of 

    cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas.  With entusiasm we 

    dialogue and synagonize at the synods of our didymous Orga-

    nizations in which polymorphous economic ideas and dogmas

    are analyzed and synthesized. Our critical problems such as the

    nomismatic plethora generate some agony and melancholy.

    This phenomenon is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my

    thesis we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices

    as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe.

    In parallet a panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and

    harmonization in a democratic climate is basic. 

    

   I apologize for my eccentric monologue. I emphasize my eucha-

   ristiria to you Kyrie, to the eugenic and generous American

   Ethnos and to the organizations and protagonists of the

   Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia."

 This speech is the first one Professor Zolotas gave in Washington

 Two years later in 1959, he returned and gave another speech.

                 PART TWO
                       OF
             " The Sponsor "

According to Historians and Archeologists Lycurgus
was the first who tried to finance the construction of
a stadium.  While in charge of the city's administra-
tion (300-306 BC), the renowned orator attempted to
construct the ancient stadium beside the hill of 
Ardittos.
This particular location was selected because it was
near the Ilisos River and was deemed suitable for the
building of a stadium.

However, the broader area remained in its original
state and only the sports area was surrounded by a
stone wall.

Four and a half centuries later, in the year 131 AD,
Herod Atticus was given the responsibility of organi-
sing the prizes for the Panathenaia, Athens most famous games, and so he undertook the construction 
of the marble stadium.

Born in 103 AD Herod Atticus was the offspring of a
very wealthy family from Marathon in Attica. His
grandfather, Ipparchos, had a property worth 100 
million sertetii ( approximately 10 tons of gold).

So, Herod had enough to be considered one of the
richest men in Athens. He proceeded to construct a
stadium with a capacity of 50.000 seats.

This stadium was so impressive that Philostratus and
Pausanias considered it  " the wonder of the age."

Herod also helped ancient Olympia financially and 
provided a solution to the problem of the area,i.e.
the water sufficiency. Due to the great turn out of the
Games, it was impossible to quench the thirst of the million of spectators in the middle of the summer.

So, he had a huge water reservoir constructed with 
his own money, providing thus a definite solution
to the problem.

p.s.  As I stated before Atlanta Georgia , is a Pioneer,
        when in 1996 the Olympic Games that took 
        place there were fully covered by sponsors, for
        the first time in the history of the Games.
