Ship Construct
NOTES ON SALAMlNlAN HARBOURS Kara TOUTO &ur1 ZaAapiq vrjooq ~airroAlq ~aiAlprj v. SKY LAX Introduction My contribution' to this Third International Symposium on "Ship Construction in Antiquity" aims at giving us the chance to visit some of the ancient harbours of Salamis, land of King Ajax and birthplace of Euripides, an island favoured by Geography to be &uAip&voq(well-harboured), not 6uaoppoq vauaiv, as the ancient Greeks would have said. Among the bigger islands of the Saronic Gulf, Salamis, with an area of 93.5 km2, lies nearest to Attica. Its fame derives mainly from the great sea-battle that tookplace in the historic Straits in 480 BC. Yet, that naval battle, however crucial for Greek History,was one of many events in a long and at times turbulent Salaminian history in which ships and seamanship, harbours and sea-communication played a major role. The nautical tradition is still very much in evidence in Salamis today. A substantial part of the income of many of the modern Salaminians derives from activities associated with the functioning of the Naustathmos i.e. the Arsenal of the Greek Fleet in the northeastern part of the island and of a sizeable fleet of fishing boats harboured at Koulouri, the island's capital; and also with the existence of a series of small and medium-size shipyards and ship-repair units around the Bay of Ambelaki in the eastern part of the island and at Perama on the opposite Attic coast, which is linked to Salamis by ferry. YANNOS LOLOS TROPlS 111 As its title suggests, my paper is acompilation of working notes and observations on Salaminian harbours made during recent field research for a larger project concerning Prehistoric Salamis with particular reference to its southern part2, a project on which I have been fortunate to embark in collaboration with Professor Demetrios I. -

Now it bulged with British Empire troops. In the lobby a crowd in khaki uniforms set up a steady bass hum in the variety of tongues of an international army. The uniforms were of the same drab wool but the shoulder patches told a story of the gathering of Aussies and Britons and New Zea-landers and Arabs and Cyprians and Palestinians. From the bar, which stood to the right of the lobby, there came a continuous tinkle of glasses intermittently punctuated by the clang and sliding drawer of the cash register. Over in the corner by the window, a lone civilian sat slumped in an overstuffed chair, oblivious of the hustle and bustle about him. His feet were propped on the window sill, his hat was shoved down over his eyes and an unlit pipe hung upside down from his teeth. He wore an expensive but unpressed tweed suit which looked quite in place, and his heavy wool tie was loosened at the throat. He was neither awake nor asleep—aware nor unaware—he was a study in boredom. Perhaps, if you moved in literary circles or were just an avid reader of minor novels, you would recognize him on sight. -

Cyclades - Greece 4 Athens Te Capital of Greece. Within the sprawling city of Athens it is easy to imagine the golden age of Greece when Pericles had the Parthenon (the most eminent monument of the ancient Greek architecture) built. Athens is built around the Acropolis and the pinnacled crag of Mt. Lycabettus, which the goddess Athena was said to have dropped from the heavens as a bulwark to defend the city. Te suburbs have covered the barren plain in all directions and the city is packed with lively taverns and bustling shops. Cyclades - Greece 5 Kea An exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay - which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. - is the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia. Tere are remains of the ancient town walls and a Sanctuary of Apollo. Te famous lion - carved from the native rock in the 6th c. BCE - can be seen just north-east of Kea town. Another highlight is the beautiful anchorage of Poleis. -

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand. -
