I am thoroughly enjoying @belovedofoizys.bsky.social 'Gladiators in the Greek World'. I'm delighted #Olynthos - the only modern Greek site I've worked at, gets a mention on page 41-2.

Reminds me of when I googled 'pastas house' and it said 'Do you mean 'pasta house'?
In fact it still does...a list of pasta houses and a single link to the Olynthos Project.

Down to the Chalkidiki for a few days, and today's main visit was to Olynthos, destroyed in 348 BCE by Philip II and and abandoned not long after.

As Athenians debated how to best defend Olynthos against Phillip, Demosthenes suggested they should cut down on other expenses and redirect funds towards the military, saying that "there's need for money, Athenians, and without it we cannot do what needs to be done." #EU #Ukraine🌻 #Trump #Challenge

This pebble mosaic fragment from an andron in #Sinope is dated to the 5th cent BC! The authors argue that the mosaics found there may be the earliest figural mosaics with mythological themes, predating those in Olynthos!

More than 2,500 years ago, Greece was made of independent city‑states — each minted their own coins, choosing symbols that told their own story. Coastal cities like Eretria, Olynthos, and Akragas picked the octopus — far from random!
