迈克尔·科斯莫普洛斯（Michael Cosmopoulos）他对古希腊的研究和奖学金30多年的研究和奖学金并不陌生。

这美国艺术与科学学院became the latest organization to honor his accomplishments when it elected Cosmopoulos, the Hellenic Government-Karakas Foundation Professor of希腊研究在密苏里大学 必威是大平台吗- 斯特大学。路易斯，排名。他是之一261个新成员为2022班选择。

“It does feel good to be recognized in the sense that your peers and your colleagues see that you have done some significant work in the field,” said Cosmopoulos, who received a message from American Academy of Arts and Sciences PresidentDavid W. Oxtoby通知他他的选举。“还有一个实际方面，它为学院内的协作项目打开了许多可能性。”

Cosmopoulos will be inducted at a ceremony in 2023.

成立于1780年，α摄影honors excellence and convenes leaders from every field of human endeavor to examine new ideas, address issues of importance to the nation and the world, and work together, as expressed in its charter, “to cultivate every art and science which may tend to advance the interest, honor, dignity, and happiness of a free, independent, and virtuous people,” according to its website.

Among the Academy’s founders were American Founding Fathers John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, andits membershipover the years has grown to include luminaries in a wide array of fields such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Jonas Salk, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, Toni Morrison and Nelson Mandela. Nomination for membership and election to the Academy is a secret process, so that new members do not know that their names have been put forward until they are elected.

Cosmopoulos is the second member of the UMSL faculty to be inducted in as many years, following帕特里夏·帕克（Patricia Parker），E。Desmond Lee是2021年级的动物学研究教授。

Cosmopoulos以与Iklaina Archaeological Project，他指导的。该项目是在主持下进行的雅典考古学会and funded through UMSL’s Greek professorship as well as through major grants from theNational Endowment for the Humanities，，，，National Science Foundationand国家地理学会。

Iklaina网站是一个青铜时代的资本，可追溯到公元前1500年的特洛伊战争时期。公元前1200年据信它是提到的网站之一荷马的史诗，iliad，，，，as one of the capitals of the Greek kings who fought in the war.

在Iklaina，Cosmopoulos发现了两层政府制度的早期发展的证据，这与当今美国现有的不同。

在那里发现的发现transformed what had previously been believedabout the origins of states and governments in ancient Greece.

他认为，来自伊克莱纳（Iklaina）等地点的经验教训以及对公元前五世纪古代雅典人建立的民主起源的研究。在世界各地的民主政府似乎承受压力的时候，已经更新了相关性。

在Iklaina之前，Cosmopoulos指导奥罗波斯项目和excavation of the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore atEleusis。在曼尼托巴大学担任古典研究教授时，他还参加了希腊和乌克兰的其他重要发掘。

Cosmopoulos对古代世界的兴趣几乎是不可避免的。

“我在雅典长大，您被它包围了，”科斯莫普洛斯说，他在雅典大学学习考古学，历史和文学。“我从一本关于希腊神话的书长大。因此，我一直对古希腊感到迷恋，而且我对自己的生活有任何疑问。我喜欢历史。我喜欢那些废墟，破碎的石头和古老的文物。然后，当我成熟时，我意识到所有这些都是故事的一部分 - 人类的故事。我对古希腊的研究越多，我就越看到与今天的联系以及与我们今天生活的相关性。”

他还从发现中感到兴奋。

“I cannot begin to describe to you the feeling when you actually excavate something,” Cosmopoulos said. “You take it out of the ground, and you realize that what you hold in your hands has not seen the light of the sun for 3,000 or 4,000 years. The last time someone actually saw this object was the person who held it so long ago, so it’s like a direct connection to a human being who lived thousands of years ago.”

Cosmopoulos在圣路易斯华盛顿大学获得了硕士学位和博士学位，并在索邦大学学习了古典语言，在国家和国际出版社中均出名PBS和国家地理渠道and his work has earned him the title of National Geographic Explorer.

He has published 16 books and more than 100 studies in scientific journals, scholarly volumes and conference proceedings that cover topics ranging from prehistoric archaeology, ancient Greek religion and classical art.

Cosmopoulos has previously been elected to theEuropean Academy of Sciences and Arts和加拿大皇家学会并且是雅典学院。

He is honored to add the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to that list, particularly because of the value it places on the humanities.

“你需要阅读文学,你需要阅读坡try, you need to read history to understand who you are and where you’re going and what the factors that affect your life are,” Cosmopoulos said. “Learn about the human experience. I think if we lose that part of our education and our culture, then not only do we become like robots without any emotional intelligence and the ability to understand what’s happening to us, but we will end up misusing technology because we are not understanding the impact that it has on us, as human beings.”

Cosmopoulos is the first U.S.-based Greek archaeologist to be elected as a regular member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since his mentor, famed Washington University Professor of Archaeology乔治·米洛纳斯(1898-1988), who was elected in 1961.
