Thanks for bringing the attention to your podcast. I didn't listen to it yet but I am going to.

Incredible work! Thanks for sharing. You must be very patient to accomplish all that. Are you going to do Persian side next?

It is not necessarily that the modern seller wants to make some additional money representing the piece as depicting Alexander. It's quite possible that the original buyer,

was duped himself.

Thank you very much for sharing.

Thanks a lot to everybody for their suggestions and additional explanations. As I said, I don't know Greek, but many languages sometimes skip a letter when another form of the word is created so hiphys' suggestion about laphyra being the origin of the laphria makes sense. This way the description co...

Thanks, Alexia, I know about the festival. :) Returning from my trip to Greece, I decided to create a FB page "Modern Geography of Ancient Greece" and my first post yesterday was about Kalydon (of the Boar Hunt fame) and the temples of Artemis Laphria and Apollo Laphrion. At the site I was...

Please, can anybody tell me how τὰ Λάφρια translates from Greek into English. I found one translation that means "light" but it doesn't make much sense in the context.

Thanks in advance.

I came back home yesterday. It was an absolutely fantastic trip. I actually stayed 3 full days in Macedonia (Naoussa). I day I spent in Mieza and visited some nearby tombs, another day in Pella and another day in Vergina. I cam back with a lot of impressions and photos. Now I have to work on my trip...

The earrings are very beautiful, thanks for sharing.

It is a pity I missed this post when it was active but thank you so much for sharing. I can't believe it myself, but I am going to be at the site in one week time - I waited for it for so long. The pictures are most beautiful!

What a terrible loss. So sad. He responded to one of my questions a few months ago and I never found a moment to thank him, thinking I will do it later.
He will be so missed here. Condolences to his family.

I realize that the subject is more suitable for April 1 post but still.... Long story short, this May I am going to Greece and will be in Epiros. Planning the itinerary, I considered if I should visit Lefkada - after all Dorpfeld argued it was the real Ithaca. Then, reading upon the history of the i...

Pauline, I also want to add that I enjoy your posts tremendously. And though I can't translate from Greek to English, I will happily post anything in your name if you just email it to me.

One of my Google alerts pointed to the coin of Amyntas III, grandfather of Alexander. I followed the link, curious to see how the Macedonian pre-Alexander coins looked like.
