Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ionian Islands in the Year 1863 When it became probable that the islands forming the Septinsular Republic of Ionia after having remained under the protection of the British Crown since the Peace of 1815, were likely soon to become a part of Greece, I felt that it would be interesting, in every way, to visit them before so great a change should take place. The presence of my fellow-countrymen could not fail to render the task of investigation comparatively easy. I should see a country preparing for a peaceful revolution. I should be able to judge in some measure what England had done, how far she had fulfilled the responsible office she had undertaken, and what was the probability of her plans being carried out.

The chief excursions from Bathi are four, --all more or less connected with the classical interest with which the island is so completely surrounded. It is as difficult to forget Ulysses and Homer in Ithaca as it would be to forget Shakspeare in Stratford-on-Avon. They meet us at every turn. True or false, the stories of Homer's Account Of The Island. 259 the island all hang upon them. It would be difficult to resist the conclusion that much of the description by Homer in the Odyssey really is, and was meant to be, an account of what the poet had seen in Ithaca, even were the question to be calmly and dispassionately discussed by the stay-at-home critic in his easy chair; but when the decision has to be arrived at by the traveller visiting the spot, to doubt the identity is simply impossible. The Ithaca of our day is, and must ever remain, the Ithaca of Homer. "Sunny Ithaca Where rises clear with woods of quivering leaves Mount Neritos; and many isles lie round Full close together, --Samoa and Dulichium And forest-crowned Zacynthus.

Download or read book The Ionian Islands in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, 3000-800 BC written by Christina Souyoudzoglou-Haywood and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is always interesting to read studies of insular or isolated groups or environments, and to speculate on why they do not tend to mirror changes in neighbouring areas. This book studies the archaeological evidence during the period 3000-800 BC, the settlements, cemeteries, artefacts and environment of each individual island. In a concluding chapter the islands are studied as a group looking at general sequences of historical and cultural development and the role of foreign, outside influences in accounting or contributing to these changes. A clear and well illustrated archaeological study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legend has it that the Ionian Islands were created as Zeus' beautiful lover, Io, raced through the Ionian Sea escaping Hera's wrath. Rising from the waters between Greece and Italy, the Ionians - peaks of an underwater mountain range - are quite unlike any of the other Greek islands and are some of the most culturally, historically and mythologically rich in all Greece. Consisting of Corfu, Paxos, Ithaka, Lefkas, Cephalonia, Zakynthos (Zante) and Kythera, they have been inhabited since Paleolithic times and have a colourful and often turbulent past. Variously invaded and occupied by the Goths, Arabs, Normans, Venetians, British, Germans and most recently by tourism, they have always absorbed and assimilated other cultures whilst still retaining their unique character and identity. The Ionians have been made famous in literature from Homer and Aeschylus to Gerald Durrell and Louis de Bernières and numerous myths are associated with them: Corfu is linked to the voyage of Jason's Argonauts, Aphrodite was born on Kythera, Paxos and Corfu were once joined until Poseidon threw his trident and separated them and Odysseus' home was on Ithaka. John Freely, who has visited and travelled throughout the islands over the course of 40 years, here illuminates the history, culture and present day of all seven islands, providing the most readable and comprehensive guide to the magnificent Ionians.
