The Archaeological Site of Sangri on Naxos: The All-Marble Temple of the Aegean
<p>In this episode, we travel to the fertile interior of Naxos and climb a low hill at Gyroulas, south of the village of Sangri. There, we discover a sanctuary dedicated to Demeter and Persephone, with a temple that marked a turning point in the history of architecture. The story begins with open-air rituals around 800 BC and gatherings of worship, possibly linked to a mystery cult, beneath the first known semi-translucent marble roof in Greece. And it concludes almost a thousand years later with the conversion of the temple into an Early Christian church and the addition of a monastic complex producing olive oil and wine. The archaeological site of Sangri preserves this layered history across the centuries. This episode is a journey through light, the fertility of the earth and the enduring sacredness of a place that refuses to fade.</p><p>Learn more at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://hh.gr/en">https://hh.gr/en</a></p>

The Archaeological Site of Kerameikos: The suburb of the Living and the Dead in ancient Athens
<p>In this episode, we wander to the north-western edge of ancient Athens, to what the historian Thucydides called the “most beautiful suburb” – Kerameikos – where the River Eridanos gave life to potters’ workshops and serenity to the city’s dead. We discover how Themistocles’ wall divided the area into two and follow the Street of the Tombs in ancient Athens’ most important cemetery, seeking the stories behind the funerary stele of Dexileos, the imposing marble bull from the burial enclosure of Dionysios of Kollytos and the relief of Hegeso. From the two great gates of the city walls – the Dipylon and the Sacred Gate – to the place where the great Athenian statesman Pericles delivered the Funeral Oration for those who fell during the first year of the Peloponnesian War (430 BC), Kerameikos reveals itself not as a silent place of death, but as an eternal mirror of Athenian glory, art and everyday life. And perhaps more striking still, it introduces us to the faces and families of ancient Athens.</p><p>Learn more at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://hh.gr/en">https://hh.gr/en</a></p>

The Sanctuary of the Great Gods in Samothrace: Mysteries for Gods with Hidden Names
<p>In this episode, we explore the mystical island of Samothrace and step into the inner sanctum of one of the most enigmatic sanctuaries of the ancient world – the Sanctuary of the Great Gods – to uncover the sacred rites performed there. To be initiated, your origin, gender, and social status meant nothing. What mattered was your faith in the gods and the oath of silence you would keep forever. From the initiation of Philip II and Olympias, parents of Alexander the Great, to the celebrated statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, we unravel the thread of a cult that promised a more pious and just life, protection at sea and, of course, a privileged place in the Underworld.</p><p>Learn more at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://hh.gr/en">https://hh.gr/en</a></p>
