«Μητρός τε καὶ πατρὸς καὶ τῶν ἄλλων προγόνων ἀπάντων τιμιώτερόν ἐστιν ἡ Πατρὶς καὶ σεμνότερον καὶ ἁγιώτερον ».
Μη βάζεις κανένα κόμμα και καμία θρησκεία πιο πάνω από την αγάπη σου για την Ελλάδα *
Από την μητέρα, τον πατέρα και όλους τους άλλους προγόνους η πατρίδα είναι το πολυτιμότερο, το σεβαστότερο και το ιερότερο πράγμα.
you have to go Stathis!! ;)
This kind man sells natural sponges on the streets of Santorini..!
We started talking and I asked him if I could take a picture of him and he was surprised! :)
If you ever go there, try to find him and buy a natural sponge! ;)
A surviving oblation, left at exactly were it was found, by the steps of the temple of Hera. Text in coine Greek literary says:
Ignatia * Erennia
Herma's the Nubian
at the order"
or alternatively in contemporary English syntax: at the order of Herma the Nubian, Egnatia (and) Erennia.
Looks Herma -Nubia was modern day Sudan in Africa- was the husband of Egnatia, while Erennia must have been their teenage daughter. AFAIK no other record of them has survived. Typically Sudanese used to be spice and/or slave traders, both being highly prosperous at the time. Am not an archaeologist, however given the names of both women are of Latin origin, I would date this between 147 BC -the year the Romans defeated us Macedons and annexed Greece-, to the 5th century AD when Dion was abandoned. By examining the typeface -that is the fonts used-, an archaeologist can provide a much more accurate dating, probably a decade within a century. Please leave a comment in case you can make an educated guess.
