Does anyone know if any of the results of the excavations at Agios Athanasios have been published in English apart from this? I really want to get my description of Odysseus' palace as close to being right as I can...

I love you ionian dendrogram about the evolution of the isles evolution

basically Ithakan ecology is closer to paxos than to kephallenia which is the closest! while Zakynthos is really far away and is closer so this is so cool

The Golden Bag of Aeolus by Kondylia Theodoropoulou

Ο Χρυσός Ασκός του Αιόλου με Κονδυλία Θεοδωροπούλου 

This little book is a short story inspired The Odyssey for the Paint the Lyric Festival on the Island of Ithaca.  

There is an image of a woman tied to the rocks, like Andromeda, but not named as such, who tells the story of Odysseus and asks questions about why he had to suffer before going home.  Theodoropoulou was awarded the Best Debut Author for her play, Agapis Fos/Αγάπης Φως at the first Panhellenic Fairy Tale Festival.  

It is printed in both Greek and English, (the English translation could do with a little tweaking I believe but I still enjoyed it).   The author also did the illustrations and what I find interesting is that she did different versions of the same painting (if that makes sense) for the two versions.

Published by Ocelotos/Οσελότος.

Korkmamalıyım. Korku katilidir aklın. Korku, mutlak yıkım getiren küçük ölümdür. Korkumla yüzleşeceğim. Onun etrafımdan ve içimden geçip gitmesine izin vereceğim. Ve geçip gittiğinde, onun izlediği yolu görmek için iç gözümü kullanacağım. Korkunun geçtiği yerde hiçbir şey olmayacak. Yalnızca ben kalacağım.
