Abstract:
Summary: This article investigates the topography in Herodotus' account of Xerxes' visit to the Troad in 480 BC, which consists of Mount Ida, the Scamander river, the temple of Athena Ilias at Troy and the tumuli in the surrounding landscape. It suggests that this episode, rather than taking us back to historical events of 480 BC, may (partly) be a product of Greek imagination in the ca. fifty years between Xerxes' invasion of Greece and the publication of the „Histories“, with the landscape of the Troad functioning as a catalyst. To this end, the article traces the Iliadic associations of the

Abstract:
On the road to Delphi, as one approaches the sanctuary of Apollo from the East (800 m from the main sanctuary), there is a much smaller sanctuary dedicated to Athena Pronaia ("Athena before the Temple") on a terrace now called "Marmaria" (150 m x 40 m). It consists of a walled temenos (sacred precinct) and various structures (altars, at least two temples, a tholos, and two treasuries). This smaller sanctuary to Athena served as a gateway to the much larger sanctuary to Apollo, and the goddess Athena can be perceived as protecting her younger half-brother, Apollo.

Abstract:
The Hephaisteion was an temple to the Greek god Hephaestus located on the Kolonos Agoraios hill overlooking the Athenian Agora to the east. This placement was especially meaningful because it kept this god of craftsmen close to both the Industrial District and the commercial center. According to the Roman traveler Pausanias, Athena, goddess of craft, was worshiped alongside him and present in the cult statue. This Doric temple was built mostly of marble, and its sculptural decoration featuring a centauromachy (frieze) and the labors of the Athenian hero Theseus (metopes) emphasized the eastern

Abstract:
The so-called Serapeum of Thessalonica was not dedicated only to Serapis, nor has this name survived through the ancient sources; the name Serapeum was given by the researchers who excavated the site in the early 20th century and has survived ever since. it consists of at least four buildings: a small temple with a rectangular plan, another small temple in antis or prostyle with a crypt, and some other auxiliary spaces. The large number of statues and inscriptions suggests that the sanctuary hosted the cult of the Isiac family but also other deities such as Aphrodite, Athena, Pan. All these ar

Abstract:
The Ancient Boeotians refer to the inhabitants of Boeotia, a regional ethnic group located in central, between Attica and Phocis. In the Homeric 'Catalogue of Ships' the region was divided into two regions, one called Boeotia and the other referred to as Minyan. The people of the region fit into the definition of Greek identity. The main deity of the Boeotians was Athena Itonia, who was worshipped at Coronea, as well as Zeus; the two became the chief deities of the region in the Hellenistic period. There were also a series of related cults to Apollo across the region, located at Mount Ptoion (

Abstract:
The grand tour took the young and wealthy to Rome and Naples, but not as far as Greece, which had sunk into oblivion under its Byzantine emperors, who began to rule in A.D. 527. For seven hundred years Greece remained masked in obscurity as Crusaders, Venetians, and then Turks established princedoms and trading posts there. The Turks entered Athens in 1455 and turned the Parthenon and Acropolis into a fortress, transforming Greece into a rundown province of the Ottoman Empire. Worse yet, the ravages of wind, rain, and earthquake, of villagers seeking building stone and mortar, buried and erode

Abstract Chapter 12 addresses the question of whether there was a distinctive Athenian culture. This is explored briefly with regard to the local alphabet and Athenian pottery, which has been more extensively discussed in Section 4.5, and then extensively through a history of Athenian sculpture. Athenian sculpture is traced through the great series of kouroi and korai from Athens and Attica, from the Dipylon and Sounion kouroi to the Anavyssos kouros, Aristodikos, and the Kritian Boy, and from the “Berlin Standing Goddess” and the funerary kore of Phrasikleia through the extraordinary sequence

Abstract:
Izmir, the modern name for the city that once was known as Smyrna, is the third largest city in Turkey, with a population of around 3 million. Situated on the Aegean coast, it is Turkey’s second busiest port. Not only is Izmir an interesting place itself to visit, but the city also serves as a good base from which to visit several important sites in the area, such as the ancient cities of Ephesus, Sardis, Miletus, Didyma, and Priene. The ancient city of Smyrna, which according to some reports was the birthplace of Homer, was commercially successful due to its harbor and its location (approxima
