Corinth and Loutraki |
| Our first stop was Corinth. We spent time at the Roman Archeological site, seeing the podium where Paul the Apostle would come to speak, in the remnants of the Roman forum. Corinth was originally a powerful Greek city state, until the 2nd century BCE when the early Romans came and burnt it to the ground. The city was abandoned for about 100 years until Julius Caesar came to restore it. So the archeological remains are from the Roman times. A Greek archaic temple to Apollo does still survive partially, although it was pre Roman. Labels: entertainement, greece, roman empire, temple |

| HoustonChronicle.com - Review: IBP stages a bleak 'Phaedra'
However brutal the action or tragic the outcome, the ancient myths of Greece and Rome emanate grandeur, heroism and nobility. As deconstructed and demythologized by Sarah Kane in Phaedra's Love, the tale of Phaedra and her hopeless love for her stepson Hippolytus oozes squalor, viciousness and despair.
