In Greek mythology, Nemea was ruled by king Lycurgus and queen Eurydice. Nemea was famous in Greek myth as the home of the Nemean Lion, which was killed by the hero Heracles, and as the place where the infant Opheltes, lying on a bed of parsley, was killed by a serpent while his nurse fetched water for the Seven on their way from Argos to Thebes. The Seven founded the Nemean Games in his memory, according to its aition, or founding myth, accounting for the crown of victory being made of parsley or the wild form of celery and for the black robes of the judges, interpreted as a sign of mourning. The Nemean Games were documented from 573 BC, or earlier, at the sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea.
At the temenos, the grave of Opheltes was surrounded by open-air altars and enclosed within a stone wall. The sanctuary's necessary spring was named Adrasteia.

Η ιστορία της πόλης ξεκινά από τους Προϊστορικούς χρόνους και εκτείνεται μέχρι σήμερα. Οι αναφορές για αυτήν από την μία χάνονται στις ομηρικές αφηγήσεις και από την άλλη καταγράφονται στα αρχεία της Αθηναϊκής Συμμαχίας. Από την μία η πόλη έγινε παγκοσμίως γνωστή για την άφιξη των δημοκρατικών στρατευμάτων της Ρωμαϊκής Αυτοκρατορίας ενόψει της ιστορικής μάχης των Φιλίππων και από την άλλη για την άφιξη του Αποστόλου Παύλου, κάνοντας την Νεάπολη (σημερινή Καβάλα) πρώτη ευρωπαϊκή πόλη που δέχτηκε το χριστιανισμό. Είναι διάσημη για τα μεγαλοπρεπή έργα Βυζαντινών και Τούρκων (όπως το Κάστρο και οι Καμάρες) όσο και για το ότι αποτέλεσε γενέτειρα του Μεχμέτ Αλί, αντιβασιλέα της Αιγύπτου. Παράλληλα η νεότερη ιστορία της πόλης παρουσιάζει εξίσου ενδιαφέρον, τόσο για την καπνεργασία και τις πρώτες απεργίες στα Βαλκάνια (1896) όσο και για την πλούσια βιομηχανική δραστηριότητα με κυρίαρχη αυτή του μαύρου χρυσού.
The city was founded in the late 7th century BC by settlers from Thassos. It was one of several Thassian colonies along the coastline, all founded in order to take advantage of rich gold and silver mines, especially those located in the nearby Pangaion mountain (which were eventually exploited by Phillip II of Macedonia).
At the end of the 6th century BC Neapolis claimed independence from Thassos and began issuing its own silver coins with the head of Gorgo (γοργὀνειο) on one side. A few decades later a large Ionic temple made from Thassian marble replaced the Archaic one. Parts of it can now be seen in the town's archaeological museum.
In 411 BC, during the Peloponnesian War, Neapolis was besieged by the allied armies of the Spartans and the Thassians but remained faithful to Athens. Two Athenian honorary decrees in 410 and 407 BC rewarded Neapolis for its loyalty.
Neapolis was a town of Macedonia, located 14 km (9 mi) from the harbour of Philippi. It was a member of the Athenian League; a pillar found in Athens mentions the contribution of Neapolis to the alliance.

Pylos warrior tomb’s tiniest treasure is its greatest wonder
While digging in Pylos, an ancient city in southwest Greece, a team of archaeologists made a stunning discovery: the tomb of a wealthy warrior that’s remained hidden and untouched for more than 3,500 years! More than 1,400 objects —many of which are gold, silver, bronze or ivory —were found buried in the tomb, which could shed light on how the Minoan culture lead to the Mycenaean civilization. The Minoan culture of the island of Crete is considered to be the “the first link in the European chain,” in the history of civilization.

Castle of Monemvasia: a walkthrough
Monemvasia is one of the most important medieval fortress-cities of Greece. It is also one of the most beautiful castles in the world.Monemvasia means one-way.
Its area consists mostly of a large plateau some 100 metres above sea level, up to 300 m wide and 1 km long, the site of a powerful medieval fortress. The town walls and many Byzantine churches remain from the medieval period. Monemvasia is built in a rock which is a connected with a narrow and unique road to the mainland. Thus, it had always been well protected from the raids of the barbarians. To this walkthrough, we visited the medieval city, we climbed to the upper citadel and the acropolis and took a closer look to the houses, to the medieval fortification and to the various cisterns and churches. Walk with us side by side and witness the beauty of Monemvasia.

Greece - Athens - Archaeological Museum - 2016 . in (4K)
The National Archaeological Museum in Athens houses some of the most important artifacts from a variety of archaeological locations around Greece from prehistory to late antiquity. It is considered one of the greatest museums in the world and contains the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide. It is situated in the Exarcheia area in central Athens between Epirus Street, Bouboulinas Street and Tositsas Street while its entrance is on the Patission Street adjacent to the historical building of the Athens Polytechnic university.
The Museum in 1893
The first national archaeological museum in Greece was established by prime minister of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias in Aigina in 1829. Subsequently the archaeological collection was relocated to a number of exhibition places until 1858, when an international architectural competition was announced for the location and the architectural design of the new museum.
The current location was proposed and the construction of the museum's building began in 1866 and was completed in 1889 using funds from the Greek Government, the Greek Archaeological Society and the society of Mycenae. Major benefactors were Eleni Tositsa who donated the land for the building of the museum, and Demetrios and Nikolaos Vernardakis from Saint Petersburg who donated a large amount for the completion of the museum.
The initial name for the museum was The Central Museum. It was renamed to its current name in 1881 by Prime Minister of Greece Charilaos Trikoupis. In 1887 the important archaeologist Valerios Stais became the museum's curator.
During World War II the museum was closed and the antiquities were sealed in special protective boxes and buried, in order to avoid their destruction and looting. In 1945 exhibits were again displayed under the direction of Christos Karouzos. The south wing of the museum houses the Epigraphic Museum with the richest collection of inscriptions in the world. The inscriptions museum expanded between 1953 and 1960 with the architectural designs of Patroklos Karantinos.
The building
The museum has an imposing neo-classical design which was very popular in Europe at the time and is in accordance with the classical style artifacts that it houses. The initial plan was conceived by the architect Ludwig Lange and it was later modified by Panagis Kalkos who was the main architect, Armodios Vlachos and Ernst Ziller. At the front of the museum there is a large neo-classic design garden which is decorated with sculptures.
Expansions and renovations
The Antikythera Ephebe
The building has undergone many expansions. Most important were the construction of a new east wing in the early 20th century based on the plans of Anastasios Metaxas and the construction of a two-storeyed building, designed by George Nomikos, during 1932–1939. These expansions were necessary to accommodate the rapidly growing collection of artifacts. The most recent refurbishment of the museum took more than 1.5 years to complete, during which the museum remained completely closed. It reopened in July 2004, in time for the Athens Olympics and it included an aesthetic and technical upgrade of the building, installation of a modern air-conditioning system, reorganisation of the museum's collection and repair of the damage caused by the 1999 earthquake. The Minoan frescoes rooms opened to the public in 2005. On May 2008 the Culture Minister Mihalis Liapis inaugurated the much anticipated collection of Egyptian antiquities and the collection of Eleni and Antonis Stathatos. Today, there is a renewed discussion regarding the need to further expand the museum to adjacent areas. A new plan has been made for a subterranean expansion at the front of the museum.
Walking tour through Delos, Greece 2018
Tour of the uninhabited island of Delos, Greece. Delos is one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in Greece. The excavations in the island are among the most extensive in the Mediterranean; ongoing work takes place under the direction of the French School at Athens, and many of the artifacts found are on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delos and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Delos had a position as a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. From its Sacred Harbour, the horizon shows the three conical mounds (image below) that have identified landscapes sacred to a goddess in other sites: one, retaining its Pre-Greek name Mount Kynthos,[1] is crowned with a sanctuary of Zeus.

Massive Bronze Age City Discovered Underwater in Greece
Massive Bronze Age City Discovered Underwater in Greece
We often see stories about buildings that have been left behind and forgotten. This can be due to nuclear disasters, job loss, or other sad circumstances. Recently there was a group of divers made up from experts from Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities, University of Geneva, and the Swiss School of Archaeology at Kiladha Bay. They were searching the waters near the Peloponnese Peninsula which is just south of Athens, Greece. They were searching for evidence of the oldest village in Europe. There is a rumor out there that there is a village that dates back to 8,000 years ago, but they have not been able to locate it. Rather than finding the village they were looking for, these divers came across an underwater Bronze Age city which has long been submerged in the Aegean Sea. The Bronze Age started in Europe around 2300 BC. Here is a glimpse at what these divers found.
