The most important sight in Epidaurus Greece is the Ancient Theatre. Apart from the symmetry of this structure, the theater is unique because of its excellent state of conservation, which allows it to be still in working order. Another distinctive detail about this construction is the perfect acoustics. In fact, if you drop a pin on the stage, it will be heard even if your sitting at the last seats of the theater. ARGOSARONIC GULF / EPIDAVROS DEFINITELY VISIT: Ancient Theatre • Little Theatre • Sanctuary Of Asklepios Greek Festival • Αgricultural exhibition ARGOSARONIC GULF HYDRA ISLAND Hydra became famous all over the world in 1957 when the film “Boy on a Dolphin” was shot on the island with Sophia Loren leading the starring role; it is ever since that Ydra has been attracting the artistic, the wealthy and fashionable! A jet setter’s haven, it has been home to Leonard Cohen and other celebrities; time has been spent here by John Lennon, Peter Ustinov, Melina Merkouri and many others as this island’s jet set reputation is only second to that of Mykonos! ARGOSARONIC GULF / HYDRA ISLAND DEFINITELY VISIT: Town of Hydra • Kamini fishing village “Miaoulia” festival • Easter festivities ARGOSARONIC GULF SPETSES ISLAND Cosmopolitan, historic and elegant Spetses lies at the southeast of the Argo- saronic Gulf. It was named by the Venetians “isola di spezzie”, aka the “island of scents”. Its history, however, is much more exciting than that. Spetses is one of the Greek islands that played a major role to the Greek Revolution of 1821. ARGOSARONIC GULF / SPETSES ISLAND DEFINITELY VISIT: House of Bouboulina • House of Hatzigiannis Mexis Church of Panayia Armata • Cathedral of Ayios Nikolaos Old Harbor • Kounoupitsa village ARGOSARONIC GULF POROS ISLAND Verdant Poros is small in size but generous otherwise. It feels like a coastal town, as it’s separated by the Peloponnese only by a narrow sea channel. At the same time, though, it boasts all of the qualities found in the Greek islands of the Argosaronic Gulf. ARGOSARONIC GULF / POROS ISLAND DEFINITELY VISIT: Russian Dockyard • Temple of Poseidon • Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi Lemonodasos (aka Lemon Forest) • Ancient city of Troezen Theatre of Ancient Epidaurus ARGOSARONIC GULF AEGINA ISLAND Aegina Greece is a verdant island known for its great production of colorful pistachios. The Greek Island has a lovely capital full of fine neoclassical buildings and narrow alleys where one can enjoy fresh fish and excellent appetizers in the taverns of the fish market, in the heart of the town. The 5th century BC temple of Aphaia can be visited; it is located in an area full of olive and pine trees, overlooking the deep blue sea. ARGOSARONIC GULF / AEGINA ISLAND DEFINITELY VISIT: Τemple of Aphea (daughter of Zeus) • Archaeological Museum Agios Nektarios Monastery • Wildlife Hospital • Paleochora International Music Festival • Pistachio Festival WELCOME TO GREECE Wishing you a wonderful cruise!

    Thanks for downloading the lesson plans for our production The Myth-Adventures of Theseus. Why are the arts important? The arts are intrinsic to our lives, but often arts education is an after-thought or considered non- essential. However the arts are how we define ourselves and put our lives and times in context. For example, think of the 1930's, the 1950's and the 1970's. When you think of these decades, what are the first things that come to mind? The fashion? The music? The design of the automobiles? Guess what? All of these things are "the arts!" Sure, you may have thought of who was President, and maybe a few world events came to mind, but you probably first put those decades into context by the various artistic forms that were prevalent at the time. Why is Greek mythology important? Much of our Western culture and thought comes from ancient Greece. Even today our ideas about government, architecture, arts and literature, and our language have been shaped by ancient Greek culture. One of the most enduring parts of the ancient Greek culture is their mythology. In fact, our English word "myth" comes from the Greek word "mythos" which means "a spoken story, legend, or tale." A culture's mythology tells us what the culture finds most important, what behaviors it values, and how it explains natural phenomenon. They also served as morality plays, illustrating the consequences of both good and bad behavior. Since a people's myths are often about what is most important to them, a study of Greek mythology can give us insight into what the Greek people valued.

  • Ceramic Production and Exchange in the Late Mycenaean Saronic Gulf
    Ceramic Production and Exchange in the Late Mycenaean Saronic Gulf William D. Gilstrap A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield February 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the production, exchange and consumption of pottery around the Saronic Gulf, Greece, during Late Mycenaean period, specifically Late Helladic IIIB1 to Late Helladic IIIC Phase 1, roughly 1300-1130 BC. While the focus of many studies of Mycenaean political economy has fallen on Messinia and the Argolid, the choice of the Saronic Gulf offers the chance to examine ceramic crafting, movement and use in an area which hosts no accepted ‘palatial’ centres. It aims to examine the role of pottery in everyday social and economic transaction, taking a ‘bottom-up’ approach to shedding light on Mycenaean society and economy. Pottery from a wide range of sites has been studied: urban centres such as Athens; harbours at Kanakia on Salamis and Kalamianos in coastal Corinthia; small settlements of Stiri in Corinthia, Myti Kommeni on Dokos and Lazarides on Aegina; sanctuary sites of Eleusis and Ayios Konstantinos, Methana; and finally the settlement and pottery production site of Kontopigado, Alimos near the Attic coast. Based on typological and macroscopic fabric studies, a large number of samples have been chosen for examination by an integrated programme of petrographic, chemical (by neutron activation analysis) and microstructural analysis (by scanning electron microscopy), in order to group and characterise to pottery according to composition, to reconstruct key aspects of ceramic manufacture and, where possible, to suggest the area or location of their production.
