Greece & Turkey by Amy Schottland, Humanities 26 2. 3. 4. 5. Living History: A Mini-Sabbatical to Greece and Turkey 1. 1: Amy and Paul Schottland ’70 about to board their ship in Chicheveccia, Italy. They sailed for 12 days throughout the Mediterranean Sea, up into the Aegean Sea, through the Dardanelles and up the Sea of Marmara into Istanbul. 2: The magnificent Greek Orthodox Church in Oia, Santorini, Greece. Oia is probably the most picturesque spot on the idyllic volcanic island of Santorini. We were dazzled by the clarity of the sky which glistened off the breathtaking colors of the dome all set against the richest blues of the ocean. 3: Istanbul’s Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. We were totally mesmerized by the grandeur of Istanbul’s Byzantine and Ottoman history. These two wonders are testaments to early Christian and Islamic architectural achievements. 4: Library in the Roman city of Ephesus, Turkey. The ancient city of Ephesus was first dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, and later became a bustling religious and trading center during the Roman period. The highlight of our trip was seeing this monumental edifice. We were able to walk inside and see the marble niches where more than 12,000 scrolls were kept safe from the sweltering heat. 5: Porch of the Maidens, Caryatids, Acropolis, Athens. Of all the legendary structures on the Acropolis, I have always been in awe of these maidens who have long held up the roof of this porch dedicated to the goddess Athena. Their robes mimic the grooves of the Doric columns, and their regal heads become the capitals themselves. It was a thrill to actually greet them in person.
Return to the UK! Twenty-seven sophomore and junior students visited England, Wales and Ireland for eight hectic days in June, accompanied by faculty members Neil Stourton, Ted Gilbreath and Brenda Hamm. Although the trip indubitably brought their English and humanities studies to vivid (except on the rainy days) life, equally memorable were the often unrecognizable food, insane tour director, stormy swimming opportunities, castle storming and car crushing! We hope to go again in 2009! United Kingdom by Neil Stourton, English
