Saw this on Aegeanet … it’s in Greek and Google translate is okay on it but a bit vague for my liking; the upshot seems to be the discovery of some Minoan tombs in the Heraklion area, with pots, jewellery, etc. inside. Not sure if there’s any evidence of looting at all, but this is clearly a major find. Hopefully we’ll hear/read more:
rogueclassicism: 1. n. an abnormal state or condition resulting from the forced migration from a lengthy Classical education into a profoundly unClassical world; 2. n. a blog about Ancient Greece and Rome compiled by one so afflicted (v. "rogueclassicist"); 3. n. a Classics blog.
