Did the Argonauts reach ancient Corcoras, the modern Krka River valley?
View through CrossRef
The journey of the Argonauts not only reveals the ancient routes and dimensions of the known world but also gives a glimpse into the material and intimate world of the eastern Mediterranean. In one of the latest versions of this legend, Apollonius of Rhodes supplied the first useful geographical information on the route through the Istros (Danube) river valley and territories in the hinterland of the Gulf of Trieste in the northern Adriatic. Two hundred years later, this knowledge was expanded by Roman authors in the first half of the 1st century CE.
Dolenjska (Lower Carniola), a region located in the hilly landscape between the Savus and Corcoras river valleys on the edge of the Eastern Alps, was home to one of the most important Hallstatt societies of the Early Iron Age. This com‑ munity is characterised by its fortified hillforts and remarkable clan and family burial mounds, often with central tombs with stone constructions and precious gifts, including necklaces from amber beads. These artefacts attest to the area's role as an important centre for the Baltic amber trade and amber processing.
