Corinthian History and Archaeology: 2010 Publications
2010 was a big year for publications on Corinthian history and archaeology. I created the list below using various search engines (google scholar, worldcat, etc..) none of which are fully comprehensive. I included academic publications (books, articles, dissertations, and master’s … Continue reading
The Most Excellent Strategem of Niketas Ooryphas (Part IV)
Today I deliver the final segment of this interpretation of Niketas Ooryphas , the clever and mighty Byzantine admiral who shocked Aegean pirates in the Corinthian Gulf. As Basil’s thunderbolt, he certainly did not drag his feet in 872 AD, … Continue reading

Niketas Ooryphas in the Chronicon Maius (16th century)
Here’s the final installment of the translation of later Greek texts about the 9th century Byzantine admiral, Niketas Ooryphas. Most scholars who have worked on the diolkos have cited Pseudo-Sphrantzes’ Chronicon Maius (“Longer Chronicle”) as the only later evidence for Niketas … Continue reading

Niketas Ooryphas (John Zonaras version)
Another translated text of Niketas Ooryphas, the Byzantine admiral, this one by the 12th century Byzantine historian John Zonaras in Epitome historiarum (lib. 13–18), Page 430 line 9.

The Corinthia at the AIA 2011
A great weekend in San Antonio at the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America, which included some good (and bad) Tex-Mex fare, a trip to the Alamo (which triggered some deep nostalgia for Texas history and 7th grade … Continue reading
