<p> Nemea is the name of an ancient sanctuary of Zeus, deeply rooted in Greek mythology. According to tradition, Nemea was ruled by King Lycurgus and Queen Eurydice.<br />
<br />
The site was famous as the home of the Nemean Lion, which was slain by the hero Heracles, and as the venue for the Nemean Games, which had been held there since 573 BC.<br />
<br />
The sanctuary flourished in summer during these Panhellenic Games. Towards the end of the 5th century BC, it was destroyed, whereupon the Games were held in Argos in the following years. In 330 BC, the Games returned to Nemea, but were moved back to Argos in 271 BC; subsequently, the sanctuary was gradually abandoned.<br />
<br />
The Archaeological Museum of Nemea is located inside the archaeological site. <br />

<p>This is a COLOUR photograph of Pythagoras's bronze statue that is located on the waterfront of the town called Pythagoreion on Samos Island, Greece at sunset. The gigantic statue was created by the sculptor Nikolas IKARIS in New York and was unveiled in August 1989. On the statue's base an inscription reads “the number 3 is the centre of the universe or the cosmos” (meaning: the number 3 is functionally significant for the universe). <br />
<br />
Pythagoras (c.580–496 B.C.) was a Greek philosopher, mathematician, and founder of the Pythagorean brotherhood and of the number theory; he was born in Samos. He formulated principles that influenced Plato's and Aristotle's thought and contributed to the development of mathematics and Western rational philosophy. He is credited with the discovery of the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles (the sum of the squares of the legs [a, b] of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse [c]: a² + b² = c²).</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/gabouruguay-collection/55350497875/" title="The Citadel of Mycenae (Μυκῆναι)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55350497875_c7755b5ffd_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="The Citadel of Mycenae (Μυκῆναι)" /></a></p>

<p>Situated on a naturally defensible hill in the Argolid region of the northeastern Peloponnese, Mycenae served for centuries as the political, administrative, and ceremonial center of Mycenaean civilization, the dominant culture of Bronze Age mainland Greece. Occupied since the Neolithic period, the site reached its fullest development between approximately 1600 and 1100 BC, with its most intensive constructive phase concentrated between 1350 and 1200 BC. It was later memorialized in the Homeric epics as the kingdom of Agamemnon, though the historical city predates those poems by several centuries.<br />
<br />
The citadel is defined by its Cyclopean fortifications, constructed from limestone blocks of such scale that classical-era Greeks attributed them to the mythical Cyclopes. Expanded across at least three major phases during the 13th century BC, the walls eventually enclosed Grave Circle A, a 16th-century BC cemetery containing six shaft graves in which nineteen individuals were interred with objects of exceptional craftsmanship, including gold vessels, inlaid weapons, and elaborate jewelry. Among them was the gold funerary mask known as the "Mask of Agamemnon", which modern chronology places roughly three centuries before the ruler whose name it carries. Heinrich Schliemann's excavations of 1876 brought these discoveries to international attention and established Bronze Age Greece as a subject of serious archaeological inquiry.<br />
<br />
The Lion Gate, erected around 1250 BC, is the best-preserved example of monumental Mycenaean sculpture and the oldest large-scale architectural relief known from the prehistoric Aegean. Within the walls, the palatial complex was organized around a ceremonial megaron, supported by shrines, storerooms, workshops, and administrative quarters. The surrounding landscape contains several tholos tombs, most notably the Treasury of Atreus, a corbelled stone chamber approximately 13.5 meters in internal height, dating to roughly the same period as the gate.<br />
<br />
Between the late 13th and early 12th centuries BC, Mycenae suffered destruction events linked to the broader collapse of palatial societies across the eastern Mediterranean. Occupation continued on a reduced scale, but the palace was not rebuilt and the administrative, artistic, and scribal systems that had defined the civilization did not survive intact. The site is today protected as part of the UNESCO World Heritage property Archaeological Sites of Mycenae and Tiryns, and remains a primary source of material evidence for the organization, engineering, art, and beliefs of one of Europe's earliest complex societies.<br />

<br />
Corinth was founded in the Neolithic period, around 5000 BC.<br />
It possessed a unique strategic position on the narrow Isthmus and so the city controlled trade routes between mainland Greece and Peloponnese. Powerful colonies like Syracuse and Corcyra were established across the sea. After a paved ship trackway was built, ships could cross the land, avoiding dangerous capes. In the 5th century BC, it fought against Persian invasion forces. During the Peloponnesian War Corinth joined Sparta to defeat Athens and so protect its economic dominance. Later, the city fought Sparta during the Corinthian War. In 146 BC, Roman commander Lucius Mummius attacked the defiant city. The Roman army completely destroyed Corinth and enslaved its citizens. For a century, the historic site remained a desolated ghost town. Julius Caesar refounded it as a Roman colony in 44 BC. Barbarian tribes looted Corinth later on. Under Byzantine rule, it served as a strong military center. The Ottoman Empire captured the city's fortress in 1458. A catastrophic earthquake completely ruined Old Corinth in the year 1858. Modern Corinth was successfully rebuilt six kilometers away from the ruins.<br />

The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth is located within the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth.<br />
