Alumna to give public archaeology lecture on ancient maritime networks
Lana Radloff (MA ’11) describes her Brock experience in a discussion with the Brock News, “The faculty in the Department of Classics played an influential and formative role in my academic development, introducing me to new and engaging research avenues that changed my outlook on the discipline,” she says. “I’m extremely grateful for their hard work and dedication to student development, which provided me with a solid foundation for my doctoral studies and academic career.”
What was strange about Delphi was the abandoned part of the site. The gymnasium was inaccessible, having been closed off with a padlock and chains at both entrances, but the temple of Athena Pronaia remained open. I suppose that means I will just have to go back, visit another time and hope that area is open then.
Lake Vouliagmeni was a hidden gem an hour outside Athens — hidden from my knowledge anyway. The lake itself was refreshing, moderately warm and did not require travel by ferry — so it was an easy yes when Hilary suggested we go. I figured it would be a popular tourist site and there would be few Greeks there, but to my surprise, we tourists made up only a handful of the crowd. It seems that a lot of Greek families spend their time tanning by the water and having the little fish peck at their toes as a spa treatment. Personally, I did not enjoy the fish, although the swimming was nice.
