Here is one of the best-known depictions of the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571. (Lepanto is today's Nafpaktos in western Greece; Ottoman Turkish: İnebahtı) The image represents the Holy League’s victory over the Ottoman fleet. mage: Ignazio Danti, Battle of Lepanto, c. 1580, fresco, Gallery of Geographical Maps, Vatican Museums, Vatican City, based on a 1572 engraving by Fernando Bertelli. The Ottoman conquest of Cyprus was the immediate trigger for the formation of the Holy League. The victory has traditionally been portrayed as a decisive triumph of Christian Europe over Ottoman expansion and a symbolic turning point in the Mediterranean. Recent scholarship has challenged the traditional portrayal of Lepanto as a decisive turning point. It has emphasized its limited immediate strategic consequences and the Ottomans’ rapid reconstruction of their naval power. Here are three references: On the conventional narrative and how this interpretation was itself shaped by early modern Catholic political and religious discourse: Stefan Hanß. War and Peace: Shaping Politics in Reformation Germany after the Battle of Lepanto. (2017). On Lepanto's long-lasting impact on European literature, art, diplomacy, and representations of Muslims: Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies, Issue 1: Seeing the Turk after Lepanto: visions of the Ottomans and Islam in Spain and Italy. 2018. On the rapid reconstruction of the Ottoman fleet after L. within 6 months: Bulent Ari/Luca Zan “Shipbuilding and Early Forms of Modern Management: Six Months to Rebuild the Ottoman Fleet after the Defeat at Lepanto,” (2024)

Thanks! A mini-heatwave here currently. It was a humid 37ºC – the river was cooler than the sea.

There are a few more photos from the area at the bottom of my weekly blog post

Tonight we are in Nafpaktos, just across the Gulf of Corinth from Patras. We have been going about doing summer things - out for dinner, cocktails by the port - and watching the wildfires burn across the sea, while everyone's phones blare with alerts and evacuation warnings for nearby areas.
