The Minoan Baked Figurine
My dear friend Ioanna V. at 9 years old is already an expert in Minoan coroplastic art experimenting in construction techniques.
In this example she baked a replica of the well-known Neopalatial Minoan clay female figurine from the sanctuary at Piskokefalo Siteia (1600-1500 BC) showcased in the Herakleion Archaeological Museum.

Playing the Amphipolis Game
A recent visit to a local Greek toy store revealed this new treasure, inspired by the recent finds in Amphipolis.
As it is, it seems that Amphipolis inspires many games.

The prince of lilies in the sea
It's been a while since I last posted a post on the blog, since of late we're mostly communicating through the Facebook page.
But this new find is really worth some special treatment.
Today I stumbled upon an image of the popular Greek singer George Mazonakis reproduced in one of the Sunday papers. The "news" here was that Mazonakis is a winter swimmer, and the paper presented the following photograph testifying this evidently important choice.
Look more closely though and you will observe the tattoo on the singer's arm: a large and impressive colorful Minoan lily, much like the ones Gillieron pere added in his reproduction of the Minoan fresco of the Prince of Lilies.
And that actually was worth more to me as a piece of news, than the fact that Mazonakis is a winter swimmer (in Greece of all places).

Its collections are all beautiful.
It's obvious that I want them all.
But as the blog's theme is Consuming Greek Antiquity, I owe to present you the collection "Monuments of Athens".
If only I had the body to fit in such a Warholic swim suit with the Caryatids. Even though some will find it kitsch, I love it.
Pay a visit on their site www.idisti.gr
Indulge your curiosity.
