Edited by Irmgard Hein Wien 2009

The Formation of Cyprus in the 2nd Millennium B.C. Proceedings of a Workshop held at the 4th Cyprological Congress May 2nd, 2008, Lefkosia, Cyprus Many questions about the Middle and Late Cypriot Bronze Age remain unanswered, especially those concerned with chronology, social transformation and the development of local entities or industries. The title of this collection of papers “The Formation of Cyprus” was chosen to emphasize the fact that local community activities and trade on a local scale had a considerable influence on island-wide development and, in this instance, on the formation of society in the Bronze Age.

Santorini: Volcano, Natural History, Mythology

Walter L. Friedrich Aarhus 2009

Santorini: Volcano, Natural History, Mythology This is a completely new and revised edition of Fire in the Sea: The Santorini Volcano, Natural History and the Legend of Atlantis (originally published by Cambridge University Press, 2000). When the Greek island of Santorini, classically known as Thera, dramatically erupted in 1613 BC 13 years, it produced one of the largest explosions ever witnessed, thereby possibly giving rise to the legend of Atlantis. This so-called ‘Minoan’ eruption triggered tsunamis that devastated coastal settlements in the region. On Santorini it left behind a Bronze Age Pompeii, which is now being excavated.
