Attic Adventures

Today

Day trip throughout E. Attica

• Site of the Battle of Marathon
• Temple of Artemis
  -Unfortunately this site was close for cleaning until June 5 so we had to stand on the side of the road to learn about Artemis and the traditions of her cult
• Archaeological Museum of the Temple of Artemis
  -lots of artifacts--pottery, statues, etc. that allowed historians to develop stories about the period and people
• Temple of Poseidon
  -the best view of the trip so far--the first view that was comparable to my experiences in Florence
  -they have had a very rainy spring so luckily everything is still green!
