I could live here.
You think?
I do. I really could live here.
Well I hate to break it to you, pal, but this is my place. I live here. I don't know you from Adam and you're trespassing.
I see.
Good. So get the hell off my property.
Can't I at least watch the end of the sunset?
You got 20 bucks?
Uh, no.
Beat it.

Eretria - Archaeological Museum

We know from Homer that Eretria, now a small town, sent ships to the Trojan War. In the 8th century BC, Eretria and its nearby neighbour and rival, Chalkis, were both thriving trading cities. Towards the end of the 8th century BC, however, Eretria and Chalcis waged a long war for control of the fertile Lelantine Plain. Eretria was defeated, the city destroyed, and it lost its lands and possessions.

Around 424 BC Eretria came under the hegemony of Athens. In a naval battle off Eretria in 411 BC, the Spartan fleet, with the support of the people of Eretria, succeeded in destroying the Athenian ships. Following its liberation from Athenian hegemony, the polis experienced a new period of prosperity

Following the Greeks’ defeat at the hands of the Macedonians (338 BC), Macedonian influence began to take hold, first under Philip II of Macedon, then under his son Alexander the Great and his successors. In 198 BC, Eretria was conquered by the Romans. After that, Eretria never regained the prosperity it had enjoyed in previous centuries.

Following a severe earthquake in 365, the site appears to have been only sporadically inhabited and seems to have been abandoned by 511 at the latest. Modern Eretria was not re-established until 1824, following the Greek War of Independence.

The museum was built in 1960 and displays significant finds from the excavations of the ancient city of Eretria and the surrounding area from the Early Bronze Age to the period of Roman rule.

As Eretria was abandoned and not built over, and has been systematically excavated since the late 19th century, the finds are abundant.

Characteristic of the geometric style are the precise, continuous bands, zigzag and triangular patterns, and the highly stylised waterfowl.

Ils vivent en colonies organisées appelées clans, où les tâches de surveillance et d'éducation des petits sont partagées.

Ponte canale - canal bridge

Nell'entroterra Ligure è abbastanza consueto vedere i ponti canale in pietra, ovvero ponti che servono per far passare un piccolo canale di irrigazione sopra ad un torrente. A volte questi ponti hanno anche una parte pedonale o che si può percorrere con piccoli carri, carretti, carriole.

In the Ligurian hinterland, it is quite common to see stone canal bridges—bridges designed to carry a small irrigation channel over a stream. Sometimes, these bridges also feature a section for pedestrians or for passage by small wagons, carts, and wheelbarrows.

Dans l'arrière-pays ligure, il est fréquent de voir des ponts de pierre enjambant des canaux d'irrigation. Certains de ces ponts comportent une section piétonne ou une partie franchissable par de petites charrettes, des wagons ou des brouettes.

Megarian Bowl

During production, these bowls were cast in a clay mould with negative relief decoration. This enabled the highly detailed reliefs to be mass-produced.

(It was even bigger at first, but the 199 layers in the draft were making my laptop spew smoke, so I retreated. :D )
