Description
An account of the resource
<p><strong>The Antikythera Mechanism</strong> is the oldest existing complex geared device, an amazing <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47379"><strong>geared analogue computer</strong></a>. It was built approximately 2150 years ago and was used to calculate astronomical phenomena.</p>
<p>The device was operated manually by a user, to set a date on a dial and notice the astronomical phenomena that occur on that day. Respectively, by choosing an astronomical phenomenon he can observe at which date it will happen. All necessary calculations were made using a set of gears (at least 39).</p>
<p>The Mechanism was used to calculate the diurnal and annual motion of the Sun, the Moon and probably the planets among the stars. It calculated the position of the Sun and the Moon on the Sky and the phases of the Moon for every day of the year and predict eclipses of the Sun and the Moon.</p>
<p>It implemented the astronomical knowledge of ancient Greeks about the motion of these heavenly bodies with astonishing accuracy, considering the <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47380"><strong>anomalous motion of the Moon</strong></a> around the Earth, using a <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47382"><span><strong>system of eccentric gears</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>Essentially, in the Antikythera Mechanism, the epicyclic theory of Hipparchus is integrated. This theory was formulated to interpret the retrograde motions of the planets as well as the change in the angular velocity of the rotation of the moon around the Earth. Today we know that the moon's anomalous motion is due to its elliptical orbit as it turned around the Earth (Kepler's laws). It could, also, predict <strong><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47381"><span>eclipses of the Sun and the Moon</span></a>.</strong></p>
<p>In addition, the Mechanism calculated the celebration date of the ancient Panhellenic Games. On the circumference of a corresponding dial found on the fragments of the Mechanism, the words Olympia, Pythia, Isthmia, Nemea and Naa have been deciphered. Internally, in each quadrant, the four years of the Olympic cycle are indicated. All these games were crowned Games, with winners being rewarded with olive wreaths.</p>
<p>The Antikythera Mechanism was a complicated instrument. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was accompanied by an extensive User’s Manual. New inscriptions that had not been read for more than 2000 years were revealed, mainly with the X-ray micro-focusing tomography. About 3500 letters and symbols have been deciphered up to now.</p>
<p><br /><strong>The collection is dedicated to Ioannis Seiradakis, whose contribution was a catalyst for the inception of the research for the Antikythera Mechanism, in 2005, which led to its decoding.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hugh_Seiradakis">John H. Seiradakis</a></span> (5 March 1948 – 3 May 2020)<br /></strong><br />Ο <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/collections/show/479"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων</strong></span></a> είναι η παλαιότερη σύνθετη μηχανολογική διάταξη οδοντωτών τροχών (γραναζιών) που έχει βρεθεί ως σήμερα. Κατασκευάστηκε πριν από περίπου 2150 χρόνια και είναι ουσιαστικά ένας αναλογικός <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47379"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>υπολογιστής με γρανάζια</strong></span></a>, ο οποίος υπολόγιζε αστρονομικά φαινόμενα. Η συσκευή λειτουργούσε χειροκίνητα. Ο χρήστης μπορούσε να επιλέξει μια ημερομηνία από τις κλίμακες των ενδείξεων και να δει τα αστρονομικά φαινόμενα που θα συνέβαιναν εκείνη την ημέρα ή αντίστροφα, δηλ. να επιλέξει ένα αστρονομικό φαινόμενο και να δει σε ποια ημερομηνία θα συμβεί. Όλοι οι απαραίτητοι υπολογισμοί πρόεκυπταν μέσω της διαδοχικής σύζευξης οδοντωτών τροχών (τουλάχιστον 39). Ο Μηχανισμός χρησίμευε για τον υπολογισμό της ημερήσιας και της ετήσιας κίνησης του Ήλιου, της Σελήνης και πιθανώς των πλανητών ανάμεσα στους αστέρες. Υπολόγιζε τη θέση του Ήλιου και της Σελήνης στον ουρανό και προσδιόριζε τις φάσεις της Σελήνης για κάθε ημέρα του χρόνου. Περιείχε τις αστρονομικές γνώσεις των Αρχαίων Ελλήνων σχετικά με την κίνηση αυτών των ουράνιων σωμάτων με εκπληκτική ακρίβεια λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47380"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ανώμαλη τροχιά της Σελήνης γύρω από τη Γη</span></strong> </a>μέσω της χρήσης ενός <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47341">συστήματος έκκεντρων οδοντωτών τροχών</a></strong></span> (<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47341">Η ανώμαλη κίνηση της Σελήνης και η προσομοίωσή της από τον Μηχανισμό</a></strong></span>). Στον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων, ουσιαστικά, είναι ενσωματωμένη η θεωρία των επικύκλων του Ιππάρχου. Η θεωρία αυτή διατυπώθηκε για να ερμηνεύσει τις ανάδρομες κινήσεις των πλανητών καθώς και την αλλαγή της γωνιακής ταχύτητας της περιστροφής της Σελήνης γύρω από τη Γη. Σήμερα γνωρίζουμε ότι η ανώμαλη τροχιά της Σελήνης οφείλεται στην ελλειπτική τροχιά της κατά την περιστροφή της γύρω από τη Γη (νόμοι του Κέπλερ). Ο Μηχανισμός μπορούσε ακόμη να προβλέψει τις <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47381"><strong>εκλείψεις του Ήλιου και της Σελήνης</strong></a></span>. Υπολόγιζε, επίσης, τις ημερομηνίες τέλεσης των Πανελλήνιων στεφανιτών αγώνων που λάμβαναν χώρα στην Αρχαία Ελλάδα. Στεφανίτες ήταν οι αγώνες που ο νικητής βραβευόταν στεφόμενος με κλαδί ελιάς. Οι αγώνες που αναγνώστηκαν στον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων είναι οι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες, τα Πύθια, τα Ίσθμια, τα Νέμεα, τα Νάα και τα Αλίεια. Τέλος, ο Μηχανισμός περιείχε και ένα εκτεταμένο εγχειρίδιο χρήσης.<br /><br /><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47655"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Βιβλιογραφία</strong></span></a><br /><br />Το 2005 συστάθηκε μια <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/collections/show/485"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>διεπιστημονική ομάδα στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης</strong></span></a>, η οποία διερευνά τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων. Η ομάδα αρχικά αποτελούνταν απο τον Ιωάννη Σειραδάκη, Καθηγητή Αστρονομίας, τον Κυριάκο Ευσταθίου, Καθηγητή Μηχανολογίας, την Στέλλα Δρούγου, Καθηγήτρια Αρχαιολογίας και την Μαγδαληνή Αναστασίου, υποψήφια διδάκτορα. Πολύ σύντομα, η ομάδα επεκτάθηκε με τους Μηχανολόγους Μηχανικούς, Αλέξανδρο Μπασιακούλη και Μαριάννα Ευσταθίου και τον Αρχαιολόγο, Αλέξανδρο Τούρτα ενώ αργότερα προστέθηκε και ο Καθηγητής Η/Υ στο Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας, Μάνος Ρουμελιώτης, και τον Λευτέρη Αναστασοβίτη, Διπλωματούχο της Πληροφορικής.</p>
<p><span>Η ομάδα κατασκεύασε και συνεχίζει να κατασκευάζει διάφορα <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/collections/show/484"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>φυσικά μοντέλα</strong></span></a> του Μηχανισμού, τα οποία βρίσκονται σε διάφορα μουσεία και οργανισμούς ανα τον κόσμο.</span><br /><strong><strong><strong><br />Η συλλογή αφιερώνεται στον Ιωάννη Σειραδάκη, η συνδρομή του οποίου υπήρξε καταλυτική για την έναρξη της έρευνας για τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων, το 2005, η οποία οδήγησε στην αποκωδικοποίησή του.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%93%CE%B9%CE%AC%CE%BD%CE%BD%CE%B7%CF%82_%CE%A7._%CE%A3%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%B4%CE%AC%CE%BA%CE%B7%CF%82">Ιωάννης Σειραδάκης</a></span> <span>(5 Μαρτίου 1948 - 3 Μαΐου 2020)</span></strong></strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><strong><span>O <strong>Ιωάννης Σειραδάκης ήταν</strong> Καθηγητής Αστρονομίας στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης (ΑΠΘ). Γεννήθηκε στα Χανιά στο νησί της Κρήτης και πέθανε στη Θεσσαλονίκη ύστερα από πολύμηνη μάχη με τον καρκίνο. Μητέρα του ήταν η αρχαιολόγος Μέρσι Mάνεϊ Κόουτς (Mercy Money - Coutts), πατέρας του ο Μιχάλης Σειραδάκης και αδελφή του η Σοφία Hester Σειραδάκη. Τα επιστημονικά του ενδιαφέροντα περιλάμβαναν τους αστέρες νετρονίων (pulsars), τη μοντελοποίηση ουδέτερου υδρογόνου σε κοντινούς γαλαξίες, καθώς και τη μελέτη των φαινομένων στο κέντρο του Γαλαξία μας. Τα τελευταία δεκαπέντε έτη της ζωής του ασχολήθηκε ενεργά με θέματα αρχαιοαστρονομίας και πιο συγκεκριμένα με τη μελέτη της λειτουργίας του Μηχανισμού των Αντικυθύρων.<br /></span></strong></strong></strong></p>

AKM_Model_4 to1
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The model constitutes the biggest model ever manufactured by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki team. The replica's size is four times larger than the original and is now located at the town hall of the Municipality of Kythera and Antikythera islands, to whom the Antikythera island belongs and where the Mechanism was found. It is made from transparent materials providing the visitor the opportunity to discern the internal side of the Mechanism and its components. Due to its size, every scale and engraved text of the Antikythera Mechanism is easily discernible and legible, respectively.
It was constructed in 2016 and constitutes the only model in such size manufactured by the academic team of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulting from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι το μεγαλύτερο σε μέγεθος μοντέλο που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα. Είναι τέσσερις φορές μεγαλύτερο απο το αυθεντικό (κλίμακα 4:1) και βρίσκεται στον Δήμο Κυθήρων και Αντικυθήρων στον οποίο ανήκει το νησί των Αντικυθήρων, όπου βρέθηκε ο αρχαίος Μηχανισμός. Είναι κατασκευασμένο απο διαφανή υλικά επιτρέποντας στον επισκέπτη να διακρίνει το εσωτερικό του Μηχανισμού και όλα τα εξαρτήματα που τον αποτελούν. Λόγω του μεγέθους του είναι πολύ ευδιάκριτες όλες οι κλίμακες του Μηχανισμού και ευανάγνωστα όλα τα κείμενα και τα σύμβολα, τα οποία είναι χαραγμένα στις εξωτερικές πλάκες.
Κατασκευάστηκε το 2016 και αποτελεί κατασκευή αποκλειστικά για τον Δήμο Κυθήρων και Αντικυθήρων αλλά και το μοναδικό μοντέλο σε αυτό το μέγεθος που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα έρευνας του Μηχανισμού του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.
Κάθε νέο μοντέλο που κατασκευάζει η ομάδα επικαιροποιείται με τα νέα στοιχεία που προκύπτουν απο την συνεχιζόμενη έρευνα.

AKM_Model_3 to1
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The replica's size is three times larger than the original Antikythera Mechanism. The shafts and pointers are made from bronze, while the scales and the gears are made from transparent materials. This provides the visitor the opportunity to discern every scale of the Mechanism and read every text and symbol engraved on its external sides. In this manner, the visitor can observe the movements of the gears and the shafts while operating. Due to this transparency, most museums prefer this model to the remainder and the specific replica is exhibited at the National Observatory in Athens, at the Herakleidon Museum and at the Childern's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Replicas have been constructed in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulting from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι τρεις φορές μεγαλύτερο σε μέγεθος απο τον αυθεντικό Μηχανισμό. Οι άξονες και οι δείκτες είναι κατασκευασμένοι απο μπρούντζο, ενώ οι κλίμακες των ενδείξεων και οι οδοντωτοί τροχοί είναι κατασκευασμένοι απο διαφανή υλικά καθιστώντας πολύ ευδιάκριτες όλες τις κλίμακες του Μηχανισμού και ευανάγνωστα όλα τα κείμενα και τα σύμβολα, τα οποία είναι χαραγμένα στις εξωτερικές πλάκες. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο επιτρέπει στον επισκέπτη να διακρίνει εύκολα όλα τα χαραγμένα κείμενα και να παρατηρήσει στο εσωτερικό του Μηχανισμού τις κινήσεις των οδοντοτών τροχών και των αξόνων κατά τη λειτουργία του. Λόγω αυτών των ιδιοτήτων του αποτελεί το μοντέλο που προτιμάται περισσότερο απο τα Μουσεία. Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο εκτείθεται στο Εθνικό Αστεροσκοπείο Αθηνών στο Θησείο, στο Μουσείο Ηρακλειδών στην Αθήνα και στο Children's Museum στην Ινδιανάπολη των ΗΠΑ. Μοντέλα αυτού του είδους κατασκευάστηκαν το 2017, 2018, 2019.
Κάθε νέο μοντέλο που κατασκευάζει η ομάδα επικαιροποιείται με τα νέα στοιχεία που προκύπτουν απο την συνεχιζόμενη έρευνα.

Το φυσικό μοντέλο του Μηχανισμού των Αντικυθήρων ολοκληρωμένο και το ίδιο μοντέλο πριν τοποθετηθεί στο ξύλινο κιβώτιό του.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The replica is fully functional and has the same dimensions as the ancient Mechanism which occurred after the careful examination of the CT scans of the Antikythera Mechanism. The purpose of its construction is the ascertainment of the accuracy of the astronomical predictions of the original Mechanism. Due to the transient motion of the Earth, the zodiac signs' dates were shifted by one degree every seventy two years compared to the ancient times. For this reason, the zodiac signs attested on the front side of the Mechanism was replaced by the present picture of the sky.
In that way, we are given the opportunity to predict astronomical phenomena for our times and taking into account respective scientific predictions to ascertain the accuracy of the Mechanism's predictions. The specific model is constructed from the same material and assembled in the same way as the original.
For monitoring reasons, the indication plates have been manufactured by transparent materials in order its internal side to be visible.
It was constructed in 2019 and constitutes the most recent model constructed by the academic team of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki investigating the Antikythera Mechanism.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulted from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι λειτουργικό και κατασκευασμένο με τις ίδιες διαστάσεις του πρωτότυπου, οι οποίες προέκυψαν απο τη μελέτη των τομογραφιών των θραυσμάτων του αρχαίου Μηχανισμού. Το μοντέλο αυτό κατασκευάστηκε για την εξακρίβωση της ακρίβειας των αστρονομικών προβλέψεων του Μηχανισμού.
Δια τον λόγο αυτό στην εμπρόσθια όψη του Μηχανισμού, η κλίμακα των ζωδιακών αστερισμών αντικαταστάθηκε με την σημερινή εικόνα του ουρανού.
Αυτό έγινε διότι μετά την παρέλευση περισσοτέρων απο δυο χιλιάδων ετών απο την κατασκευή του Μηχανισμού οι ζωδιακοί αστερισμοί μετατοπίστηκαν όσον αφορά τις ημερομηνίες εμφάνισής τους στον ουρανό σε σχέση με την Αρχαιότητα λόγω της μεταπτωτικής πορείας της Γης που έχει σαν αποτέλεσμα την μετατόπιση της εμφάνισης των αστερισμών κατά περίπου μία μοίρα ανα 72 χρόνια. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, δίνεται η δυνατότητα προβλέψεων αστρονομικών φαινομένων για την σημερινή εποχή και έχοντας υπόψην αντίστοιχες επιστημονικές προβλέψεις να διακριβώσουμε την ακρίβεια των προβλέψεων του Μηχανισμού.
Το μοντέλο είναι κατασκευασμένο με τα ίδια υλικά και τον ίδιο τρόπο συναρμολογήσης όπως και το πρωτότυπο. Κάθε νέο μοντέλο που κατασκευάζει η ομάδα επικαιροποιείται με τα νέα στοιχεία που προκύπτουν απο την συνεχιζόμενη έρευνα.
Για λόγους εποπτείας οι πλάκες των ενδείξεων έχουν κατασκευαστεί απο διαφανή υλικά για να είναι ορατό το εσωτερικό του Μηχανισμού.
Κατασκευάστηκε το 2019 και αποτελεί το τελευταίο μοντέλο που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα έρευνας του Μηχανισμού του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
There are two kinds of eclipses, the Lunar and the Solar. The Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight to reach the Earth. The Lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight to reach the Moon. These phenomena are predicted by the Antikythera Mechanism.
Υπάρχουν δύο είδη εκλείψεων, η Σεληνιακή και η Ηλιακή. Η Ηλιακή έκλειψη συμβαίνει όταν το φεγγάρι περνάει ανάμεσα από τον Ήλιο και τη Γη και δεν επιτρέπει στην ηλιακή ακτινοβολία να φτάσει στη Γη. Η Σεληνιακή έκλειψη συμβαίνει όταν η Γη βρίσκεται ανάμεσα στον Ήλιο και την Σελήνη και δεν επιτρέπει στο ηλιακό φως να φτάσει σε αυτή. Τα φαινόμενα αυτά προβλέπονται απο τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Στην αρχαιότητα υπήρχε η αντίληψη ότι η Σελήνη περιστρεφόταν γύρω από τη Γη σε κυκλική τροχιά. Σήμερα, όμως, γνωρίζουμε ότι η τροχιά της Σελήνης γύρω από τη Γη είναι ελλειπτική. Όταν η Σελήνη βρίσκεται κοντά στο απόγειό της κινείται αργά, ενώ όταν βρίσκεται κοντά στο περίγειό της κινείται γρηγορότερα. Αυτό οφείλεται στην ελκτική δύναμη (βαρυτική επίδραση) που ασκεί η Γη στην Σελήνη, η οποία όσο πλησιέστερα βρίσκεται στη Γη τόσο μεγαλύτερη είναι η ελκτική δύναμη. Την ανώμαλη αυτή κίνηση της Σελήνης την υπολογίζει με μεγάλη ακρίβεια ο Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων.
In ancient times there was a perception that the Moon revolved around the Earth in a circular orbit. We now know that the Moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical (figure 1). When the Moon is near its Apogee it moves slower, while when it is near its Perigee it moves faster. This is due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon, where the closer it is to the Earth, the greater the gravitational force exerted on it by the Earth. This anomalous movement is calculated by the Antikythera Mechanism.
