Black Sea
At that (Homeric) time, the sea was not navigable and was called Axenos (inhospitable) because of its wintery storms and the tribes that lived around it, and in particularly the Sythians in that they sacrificed strangers…
But later it was called Euxeinos (friendly to strangers) when the Ionians founded cities on the seaboard.

An incredible talent. Thank you!
That’s very kind of you, thank you so much
Very evocative John, nice capture!
Thank you Marc
Evokes a very comforting feeling of stability among torment. Beautiful.
A feeling that currently could be more than useful I feel.
Thank you for the lovely comment
I agree, and you’re welcome. Thanks for following.
“The sea!” (Xenephon’s ‘Anabasis’)
I’d love to visit someday to see the places mentioned by the ancient Greek writers.
I carry Homer with me all the time despite hardly ever reading it!
Hope you get to make that journey-would be beautiful
Beautiful images, this will be a wonderful collection.
Thank you Andrew.
I hope so. Its something I find hard to fit and and justify the cost of doing but I have really enjoyed the process of making the images I have so far so am determined to complete it.
Thank you Andrew.
Would love to add images to the collection soon although it seems life is currently being interrupted 🙂
It’s the deep end of peace, or is it the depths of the unknown? Thoughts of poetry.
What made the change?
Wonderful. Thank you.
thanks for sharing. I learned something new today. And for a region I once visited. A “friendly” sea to strangers.
Really nice , soothing
Thank you, Its how I felt making the images
Quite lovely
Thank you so much
