• The Cyclades: Discovering the Greek Islands of the Aegean

  John Freely

  
  The Cyclades are the quintessential Greek isles, renowned for the beauty of their seascapes, their historical monuments, and a unique way of life deeply rooted in the remote past of the Aegean. Over the course of more than 7,000 years the Cyclades have seen a succession of civilizations, the earliest of them perpetuated in legends such as that of Atlantis, which has been identified with volcanic Santorini. The islands are arrayed around their sacred centre on Delos, where Leto was said to have given birth to the divine twins Apollo and Artemis, children of Zeus. Dionysus was born on olive-embowered Naxos, where he fell in love with Ariadne, and myths relate that Poseidon was the protector of Tinos, whose mid-summer festival of the Virgin is celebrated with the folk-dances and songs for which the Cyclades are famous. In this comprehensive guide to the Cyclades, John Freely describes the immemorial past and timeless present of these enchanting islands, which still await discovery.

  J. Theodore Bent

  
  Described as "a spirited, sometimes quirky, narrative of the ups and downs of simple travel in the Greek islands.. in the late nineteenth century," this book is a personal account of two tours made by J Theodore Bent and his wife around the Greek islands between 1882 and 1884. A self-taught archaeologist and historian, Bent's account is full of historical information and description of both people and places. This new edition edited by Gerald Brisch includes additional material.
