The Blades of Bronze blog tour: Argo & Jason by Mark Knowles

The Blades of Bronze series is a retelling of Jason and The Argonauts myth, one of the most complex and rich of paranormal/mystical aspects of the ancient mythology. As most of the well-known mythological saga we have to consider that a lot of aspects cannot be easy on our modern sensitivity: there’s a lot of violence, no problems in killing tons of people to become king, the role of the women who were relegated to play second fiddle unless they’re one of the great and tragic heroines. I was always fascinated by this saga even if, to be honest, my favourite character was always Medea, a strong and complex heroine. As Greek and Roman mythology features strongly in my school curriculum it’s always a bit hard to avoid comparison between the retelling and the force of the original myth. Mr Knowles did a good job as he stripped the novels of most of the mythological aspects and turned them in fascinating and entertaining books. He describes the environment and the setting as it should have been more than 3 thousand years ago as we are talking about 1300 BC Argo is the beginning, the origin of the Argonauts, the explanations of why Jason had to go on a quest to find the Golden Fleece and they succeeded. It’s a compelling story and we discover the background and the characters. They are fleshed out and realistic, mythical characters tha become people. Jason is what happens after you are successful in a quest and it was a great read as I loved the follow the Argonauts in the return travel, their adventures, and the very interesting characters they met. Mark Knowles approach to this second novel makes again mythological characters real, people in flesh. He knows what he’s writing about, and he knows how to tell a captivating story. His background enables him to turn a mythological myth into a fascinating and exciting adventure. I recommend this series as it bring to out attention a new chapter in the fascinating world of Ancient Greek myths.

Many thanks to Aries for a digital copy of these books, all opinions are mine

Argo: He has come to take what is yours...

Iolkos, Thessaly. 1230 BC. King Pelias has grown paranoid, tormented by his murderous past and a prophecy of the man who will one day destroy him. When a stranger arrives to compete in the Games of Poseidon, Pelias is horrified, for this young man should never have grown to manhood. He is Jason, Pelias' nephew, who survived his uncle's assassins as a child. Now Jason wants his revenge – and the kingdom. But Pelias is cunning as well as powerful. He gives his foe an impossible challenge: to claim the throne, Jason must first steal the fabled Golden Fleece of Colchis. Jason assembles a band of Greece's finest warriors. They are the Argonauts, named for their trusty ship. But even with these mighty allies, Jason will have to overcome the brutal challenges hurled his way. His mission and many lives depend on his wits – and his sword.

Jason They may have won the prize, but will any of them make it home alive?

Jason has fulfilled the mission set him by his uncle, the scheming King Pelias of Iolkos: he and the Argonauts have won the fabled Golden Fleece of Colchis. Jason dreams of glory – of taking his uncle's throne, rightfully his – and, like his warrior shipmates, of home. But it is not only Pelias who wishes Jason ill. Before the Argonauts can make it back to Iolkos, they must contend with a legion of foes who would see them dead – and a web of allies who are not quite what they seem. Jason and his warriors must outwit the recondite Circe and the spies of mighty Troy, overcome hostile tribes beyond the Danube, and sail the troubled waters of the Archipelagos, where the Sirens wait to snare unwary seafarers. Yet Jason's perils are only beginning, for he will soon discover that a truer evil lies closer to home...

The Author: Mark Knowles took degrees in Classics and Management Studies at Downing College, Cambridge. After a decade working as a frontline of cer and supervisor within the Metropolitan Police Service, he became Head of Classics at a school in Harrogate.

He is a particular fan of experimental archaeology and rowed on the reconstructed ancient Athenian trireme Olympias during its last sea trials in Greece in 1994.

Papaya Honey for @melien‘s Danube Glory’s BC!

Papaya has been known for chasing her dreams farther than many others are willing to. She chased her heart to Isla Paradiso a few years back, and now she’s chasing it to Danube. She may not be one to put down roots historically, but she feels something for Danube that she hasn’t felt before. Something that maybe, just maybe, will pull her head out of the clouds long enough to do something real.

Walking Guide to the Romantic City of Rome, Italy

Karmen Skaro

Once the center of great Roman Empire that at its peak spanned over 2.5 million square miles, today Rome is the capital of modern Italy. It truly is an Eternal city because, just as ancient Romans believed, many empires have fallen, and many new came, but Rome is still here, in all its glory.

Walking Map of Rome, Italy

Top Attractions in Rome

The Colosseum

The most recognizable monument in Rome, The Colosseum, an ancient gladiator arena with 50,000 seats and 80 entrance arches was built by Emperor Vespasian as a present to his people with free entrance to the games. In 404 an end came to the often very savage games involving throwing convicts to animals and other forms of entertainment when Christian Orthodox Emperor Theodosius banned all forms of paganism and customs. Over next centuries, many parts of the arena where pillaged for use in new constructions.

The arena is part of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’ and is the largest amphitheater in the world. You can combine a visit to Colosseum with a visit to Palatino hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome and one of the most ancient parts of the city. A story from Roman mythology tells how it was on this hill Romulus, the founder of Rome and the Roman Kingdom, and Remus, his brother, were found and raised by the she-wolf, Lupa.

The Colosseum is open daily from 8:30 AM to 1 hour before sunset. Two-day tickets are €12 and include entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatino.

Roman Forum

The Roman Forum stood as the center of the political, social, and commercial life of ancient Rome with government buildings, temples, markets, and arches. Unfortunately only fragments remain following the fall of Roman Empire.

The most important surviving landmarks are the 23 meter high Arco di Settimio Severo built in AD 203 to celebrate the Roman victory over the Parthians, Curia as a historical building where Senate used to meet, and Casa delle Vestali, home to virgins who had to make sure the sacred flame kept on burning.

The Roman Forum is open daily from 8:30 AM to 1 hour before sunset. Two-day tickets are €12 and include entrance to the Colosseum and Palatino.

The Pantheon

The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient Roman architecture built in 2nd century BC as a temple dedicated to Roman gods. Later on, it was converted into a church where several Italian kings got buried as well as painter Raphael.

The most prominent feature of Pantheon is its dome, famous for being the largest unreinforced concrete cupola in the world supported by a series of arches. One can attend international masses held here every Sunday.

The Pantheon is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 AM to 7:15 PM and Sunday from 9AM to 5:45 PM.

Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in the world and probably the most famous was constructed in 1762 by Nicola Salvi with almost 80,000,000 liters of water circulating through the system every day. Thousands of tourists throw coins in the fountain due to a belief how such act guarantees he or she will return to Rome. To do it properly, throw a coin with a right hand over your left shoulder.

Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona is a square built on top of an ancient Roman stadium. It is famed for three fountains you can find there – the Fountain of the Four Rivers (Nile, Danube, the Ganges and Río de la Plata) built in 17th century, Fountain of Neptune built in 16th century, and Fontana del Moro built in 17th century. The square is surrounded with restaurants and cafe bars and is also where different annual fairs and festivals take place.

Spanish Steps

Built on the proposition of the French, the romantic Spanish steps account for 137 step flight of stairs and are the widest staircase in Europe signifying peace between the French and Spanish while connecting two squares, the French (above the stairs) and the Spanish (below).

Galleria Borghese and Borghese Gardens

Galleria Borghese is one sensational gallery, often referred to as being ‘queen of all private art collections’. It is situated in Villa Borghese Pinciana built in 16th century for Cardinal Scipione Borghese. The artwork on show testifies to what extent was he an ardent art collector. Just to name a few masters whose works can be seen in the gallery: Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Bernini.

After enjoying the art collection and the building itself that boasts with some amazing frescoes and mosaics, you can step outside and take a walk around heart-shaped Borghese Gardens decorated with statues, fountains, and a small temple.

Galleria Borghese is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Tickets are €15 per adult and require an advanced reservation.

Capitoline Museums

Located in the center of Rome, in three connected palaces, the Capitoline Museums are the oldest public museums in the world. Pope Sixtus IV began the collection when he donated a number of bronze statues which was later significantly enlarged when in the 16th century Pope Pius V decided to empty the Vatican of all art depicting pagan images.

The Museums are known for holding Italy’s finest collection of classical sculptures. The prized piece is the statue of Marcus Aurelius on horseback; the only surviving bronze statue from Ancient Rome as well as a sculpture of Romulus and Remus under a wolf.

The Capitoline Museums are open daily from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM with the last admission at 6:30 PM. Tickets are €15 per adult.

National Roman Museum

The National Roman Museum holds the greatest treasury of ancient Greco-Roman art located in four different buildings; the Baths of Diocletian, the Palazzo Altemps, the Crypta Balbi, and the Palazzo Massimo. The exhibits include antiquities discovered in Rome since 1870 as well as a large number of Roman copies of lost Greek works and a few valuable originals.

The National Roman Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9AM to 7:45PM. Tickets are € 7 per adult.

Imperial Forums

The Imperial Forums were constructed between 46BC and 113AD at Julius Caesar’s initiative, who wanted to relieve overcrowding in the older Roman Forum. The Imperial Forums were a center of Ancient Rome’s political and religious life. They were built as a series of squares and buildings by a different emperor showing off his wealth and power.

Forum of Trajan with 42 meters high Trajan’s Column is the best-preserved part of the Imperial Forums. In the Imperial Forums Museum which is set up inside the complex, you can see artifacts from all of ancient Rome’s forums.

The Imperial Forums are open daily from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Tickets are €12.50 per adult.

Castel Sant’Angelo

Also known as The Hadrian Mausoleum, Castel Sant’Angelo was built between 130AD and 139AD on the right bank of the river Tiber with Ponte Sant’Angelo connecting it with the rest of the city. In the medieval ages, it was turned into a castle to defend the northern entrance to Rome. It is then a hidden corridor was built connecting the castle to St Peter’s Basilica.

Today, the castle is a museum with statues, paintings or ceramics mainly from the Renaissance period, a mausoleum, and a former prison. Some will argue how the most impressive part is the upper terrace offering a fantastic view of Rome.

Castel Sant’Angelo is open daily from 9AM to 7:30PM. Tickets are €10 per adult.

The Greek temples of Paestum in Italy are a Unesco heritage site. Don’t miss seeing the splendor of this 2,500 year old archeological site and spend some time at the nearby beach clubs. The Paestum beaches follow miles and miles of coastline and offer both archeological treasures and modern hotels and restaurants.

Temple of Athena, c. 500 BC, Paestum, Italy

“Thus rocks on rocks in bulk enourmous rise:

And thus thy proud remains, O Paestum, here

Majestic now salute the wondering view […].

The Nobelist of the monuments of man,

Resplendent rose from his creative hand.”

– The Ruins of Paestum and other compositions in Verse (1822) by Henry Pickering

Located south of the Amalfi coast in the Province of Salerno, Campania is the archeological site, Paestum. A 2,500 year old Greek settlement that was discovered behind an overgrown forest of trees and bush. After visiting the ruins of Paestum, I highly recommend a visit to the town center and the beachside resort along the coast.

The Glowing Glory of Paestum

The glowing honey colored columns of the Paestum stones reach for the heavens.

When Nigel and Dawn, our local hosts at The Pinelli Estate in Cilento told us about the ruins of Paestum, I was intrigued to learn that Greek temples were in Campania. I had heard of Selinunte in Sicily but really hadn’t grasped the history and expansion of the Magna Graecia.

Magna Graecia, which today is most of southern Italy, was settled by the Greeks between 600 BC and 450 BC. Essentially, where we find doric ruins in Italy were one-time Greek colonies. They occupied most of the territories we know today as Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily.

Just 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Naples on the Gulf of Salerno, it is recognized as one of the most important cities of Magna Graecia. Paestum is the third largest Greek temple outside of Greece.

The three temples, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens are temples dedicated to Hera, sister of Zeus and queen of the gods, Athena goddess of wisdom, handicraft and warfare and Poseidon the god of the sea, earthquakes and horses.

In the mid-90’s I lived in Athens. (Well, I actually “got stuck” in Athens for eight months, but that’s another story altogether!) Sights like the Acropolis, the temple of Zeus and the Parthenon were part of my everyday landscape. If you have ever been to Athens or Greece, you will be overwhelmed with nostalgia and déjà vu when you see Paestum.

Glowing honey colored columns of stone reach for the heavens. The three dominating structures stand dominant in a vast garden of green. A truck with a cherry picker crane was parked nearby, ready for maintenance work. Seeing the modern equipment, I couldn’t help but wonder how they built this massive complex 2,500 years ago.

Upon discovery in the late 1700’s, Paestum quickly became a major landmark for anyone doing a grand tour of Italy and Europe. Today it is a recognized UNESCO Heritage site and must-see destination while visiting Cilento and the Amalfi Coast.

The Town of Paestum

The town center of Paestum hosts the museum, small shops and eateries.

Across the road from the temple site is a small town center. Apparently, in 1930 the civil engineer that build the road running along the temple grounds was fined and served jail time for malicious destruction of a historical site. There is a dedicated museum, ancient houses, modern cafes, pizzerias, a beauty spa offering buffalo milk treatments, souvenir shops, a hotel for clergy (yes, they exist!), and St. Annunziata a beautiful ancient church dating back to the 5th century.

Paestum is certainly something you must put on your itinerary while visiting Campania.

The Beaches of Paestum

Lido Nettuno coast of Paestum

Just two minutes away from Paestum is the beach. The closest beach from the temple is the public beach at the very end of the road heading west. All along the coast are beaches, restaurants and hotels varying from modest to luxurious.

Lido Nettuno We stopped for an aperitif at the beachfront restaurant Lido Nettuno. There’s a full service restaurant and beach front lounge for afternoon snacks or evening cocktails. They have their own lido with chase lounges and umbrellas for rent.

Lido Ariston

The following day, we spent the morning swimming at the Lido Ariston, the beachfront of the 4 star luxury Ariston Hotel. There is also a waterfront restaurant and a long stretch of powdery sandy beach. The water is a deep blue and you can see the cape of Sorrento and the island of Capri in the distance. You can literally walk for miles up and down the coast of Paestum.
