Great Glories of Island of Samos Dimmed by Time

Washington July 11. A National Geographic bulletin traces Samos through Greek, Athenian, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Venetian, Genoese, and Turkish rule to its present worn landscape. It notes ancient sites like Eupalius aqueduct and Hera temple are ruined, while modern Samos thrives on cigars, wine, and tobacco.

Polycrates of Samos and the island’s rise and fall

The article recounts Polycrates’ rise in the sixth century B C with a powerful Aegean fleet that dominated trade and plundered rival galleys. It notes his murder in 522 B C, Samos’ decline, and its later path under Greek rule after Balkan War insurgents forced a Turkish capitulation and union with Greece. The piece ends describing the island’s Orthodox Greek majority and current independence from Turkey.
