Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament.

  • 1 Political Geography and Palatial Crete Andrew Bevan Postprint Of
    Political geography and palatial Crete Andrew Bevan Postprint of 2010 paper in Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology 23.1: 27-54 (doi: 10.1558/jmea.v23i1.27). Abstract The political geography of Crete during the period of the Bronze Age palaces has been a subject of widespread debate, not only with respect to the timing of the island’s move towards greater social and political complexity, but also with regard to the nature of the political institutions and territorial configurations that underpinned palace-centred society, as well as their longer-term stability over the course of the 2nd millennium BC. As such, the region provides an ideal context in which to consider the broader question of how we develop robust political geographies in pre- and proto-historic contexts. This paper proposes the need for a more deliberate interlocking of computational, comparative and material approaches, as a means of guiding our political model-building efforts. 1. Introduction While the world of palatial Crete has no foundational story as powerful or as enduring as the Trojan war, the Classical tradition nonetheless invokes the Cretan palatial past in conveniently clear-cut ways, referring to a central mythical figure of King Minos alongside stories of political unification, law- giving, overseas expansion, thalassocracy, internecine struggle and eventual political re-fragmentation (e.g. Homer Odyssey 19.165-202; Herodotus Histories 1.171-3, 3.122; Thucydides Peloponnesian War 1.4-8; Aristotle Politics 2.10; also Pseudo-Apollodorus Bibliotheca 3.1-3). More precisely, such sources assume the development of a single state under a male king whose core political borders encompassed all of Crete and whose wider political control by indirect governance eventually extended to at least some of the Aegean islands.

  • State and Society
    CHAPTER 18 STATE AND SOCIETY DIMITRI NAKASSIS MICHAEL L. GALATY WILLIAM A. PARKINSON STATES are notoriously difficult to define. Archaeologists usually describe them as complex, centralized institutions with administrative and social hierarchies that regulate access to resources and monopolize legitimate force within substantial ter­ ritories. Some features typically associated with ancient states are settlement hier­ archies of four tiers (with three levels of administrative decision-making), social stratification that divides the ruling elite from the nonelite, and a recognizable structure, or "palace;' which serves as a base ofoperations for the ruling households (Marcus and Feinman 1998,6-8). AEGEAN STATE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT In the Aegean, states did not form until the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age at the earliest. We can define three general periods of state formation: (1) the Protopalatial ("Old Palace") states ofMinoan Crete, which date to ca. 1900-1725 BC (MM IB-MM II) (2) the Neopalatial ("New Palace") states of Minoan Crete, which date to ca. 1725-1500 BC (MM III-LM IB) 240 THEMATIC TOPICS (3) the Mycenaean states ofthe Greek mainland and Crete (at Knossos and Khania only), which date to ca. 1500-1200 BC (LM II-LM IIIB on Crete, LH IIIA1-LH IIIB2 on the Greek mainland). The states of these three periods have a number of features in common. All of them are "secondary;' meaning that they formed while in contact with well-devel­ oped, "primary" and secondary states elsewhere. Crete, for example, was certainly in contact with the older states of Egypt and the Near East before and after the emergence ofthe first palaces, although the relative importance ofexternal contacts is still debated (Cherry in press).

This cataclysm happened 100 km from the island of Crete and the city of Knossos, the home of the thriving Minoan civilization. Fifty years after the eruption, that civilization was in ruins. Did the volcano deliver a death blow to the Minoans? Is it possible that a huge tsunami wave caused by Santorini Volcano hit the shores of Crete com- pletely destroying the Minoan Civilization? These questions have been haunting historians and scientists for decades.

  • The Gilliérons at Knossos. Painted Visions of Minoan Crete
    The Gilliérons at Knossos. Painted visions of Minoan Crete An exhibition proposal for Room 3. Esther Solomon, University of Ioannina, Greece The British Museum ITP 2015 Émile Gilliéron father (1850–1924) and Emil Gilliéron son (1885–1939) Émile Gilliéron (1850‐1924) was a Swiss artist and archaeological illustrator best known for his reconstructions of Bronze Age artifacts from Greece. Having worked for Heinrich Schliemann, the German antiquarian who advocated the historic reality of places mentioned by Homer, he became the major restorer of frescos and other Minoan artifacts for Arthur Evans at the astonishing “Palace of Minos” at Knossos, Crete. Together with his son, also named Émile, Gilliéron ran a family business in Athens where they sold commissioned watercolors and other reproductions made directly from originals. The British Museum, as well as several other museums around the world, acquired some of these replicas in the 1920s. The proposed exhibition in Room 3 …treats the fresco reproductions as museum objects in their own right. It explores the fascination with Minoan culture owed to the Gilliérons and the enduring impact of their work on modern perceptions of Minoan (and to some extent) Modern Crete. Émile Gilliéron père (second from right) among Evans’s local workers at Knossos. Often working with tiny excavated fragments, Émile recreated entire compositions which have shaped our ideas about Minoan art and culture. Emile Gilliéron fils …also produced illustrations for Evans' very influential four‐volume book, The Palace of Minos at Knossos, published between 1921 and 1936. The Greek Government appointed him 'Artist of all the Museums in Greece’.
