Abstract:
The choice of stones by the ancient Greeks to build edifices remains an open question. If the use of local materials seems generalized, allochthonous stones are usually also present but lead to obvious extra costs. The current work aims to have an exhaustive view of the origins of the stones used in the Sanctuary of Delphi. Located on the Parnassus zone, on the hanging wall of a large normal fault related to the Corinth Rift, this Apollo Sanctuary is mainly built of limestones, breccia, marbles, as well as more recent poorly consolidated sediments generally called pôros in the literature.

Abstract:
In Greece, as in the E Mediterranean as a whole, the ruler-cult was well established during the Hellenistic period, but whereas in the Attalid, Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms the same dynasty had ruled for centuries and the cult of the living ruler and the dynastic cult were stable institutions, the ruler-cult in Greece, though at first part of the Macedonian kingdom, was affected by the series of rulers of different dynasties who followed one another in rapid succession. This led to a large number of dedications for and offerings by Hellenistic rulers in Greece. Roman Republican leaders and

Abstract:
No city in the ancient world both benefited and suffered from its location more than Corinth. Situated on the main north-south route between northern and southern Greece, and with two good ports that linked it to Italy on the west and Asia Minor on the east, Corinth quickly became a center for commerce. But the location of Corinth also had its downside. The city often found itself caught in the middle between hostile neighbors, Athens to the north and Sparta to the south. Armies crisscrossed its streets as often as merchants, and more than once the city had to arise from ashes and rubble. Toda

Abstract:
Today it is hard to imagine the busy harbor of ancient Cenchreae, one of the most important ports in the Roman world, at the desolate spot on a small bay that marks its former location. Yet the underwater ruins there still suggest the history of famous travelers, such as the Apostle Paul, whose feet once walked on the sunken stones. To reach Cenchreae, follow the signs from Corinth to Isthmia and continue toward the village of Keries, some 3 miles past Isthmia. The site is not well marked but is easily discernible from the road.

Abstract author: We have little biographic information on Pausanias (ca. mid–second century c.e.), the author of the ten-volume Description of Greece, an extensive travelogue. Pausanias was particularly fascinated by religious monuments—temples, statues, shrines, and the like—and by religious beliefs and rites. His work is filled with reports of local mythologies and worship, including many accounts of the activities of women.translation (and text): LCL (W. H. S. Jones, 1918–35, 5 vols.). text: Teubner (M.

Abstract AETIOLOGICAL myths and legends - the births of heroes, cult origins, city foundations - have always fascinated the Greeks, and Plutarch sets the founding of Syracuse as the stage for the following drama of passion and politics: Melissos had a son named Aktaion, the most handsome and modest young man of his age. Aktaion had many suitors, chief among them Archias, a descendant of the Herakleidai and the most conspicuous man in Corinth both in wealth and general power. When Archias was not able to persuade Aktaion to be his lover, he decided to carry him off by force. He gathered togethe

"description whether the adyton was part of the temple or a different structure altogether. Near where the temple of Palaimon should have been according to Pausanias, excavators found the foundations of an earlier stadium, as well as the concrete foundation of a Roman building. An earlier cult place for Melikertes was probably located somewhere in this area, but all remains were obliterated during the destruction of Corinth by Mummius (146 BC). Elizabeth Gebhard has tentatively identified an area located immediately to the south of the temple of Poseidon as a temenos for Melikertes, dating from the classical period.3 The earliest remains, however, that can be directly linked with Melikertes are from two sacrificial pits from the 1st century AD filled with animal bones, pottery, and lamps of a unique shape unknown anywhere else in Greece. The Palaimonion was rebuilt in the Roman period, and the temple as it stood in the second century AD has been reconstructed from the few remains found and from representations on coins from the Isthmus and Corinth. The reconstructed temple has eleven columns, with an opening leading to a passageway under the temple. From the foundations, the height of the passage can be estimated at about 1 m 90, high enough to allow a person to stand upright. The passage was completely underground, and a bend in the tunnel would have prevented light to penetrate inside the underground chamber. What about the cult, then, and the lament that is both “initiatory and inspired?” Philostratos is not our only source for this aspect of the ritual. Plutarch also mentions the cult in his life of Theseus:." In Greek Literature in the Roman Period and in Late Antiquity. Routledge, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203616895-53.
