The Myth of Perseus and Medusa
View through CrossRef
Abstract
ON A MAP OF THE EASTERN Mediterranean, Greece looks like a great threefingered hand reaching down toward Crete. It is a right hand, with its palm down on the Aegean Sea, and it is nearly severed at the wrist by the Bay of Corinth, so that the hand-the Peloponnese-is nearly an island. Many of the historically and archaeologically important sites of early Greece lie on that al¬ most-severed hand. Sparta is there, and Corinth, along with Olympia and Mycenae.
