In the Chronicle of Lemnos, the long history of a relatively unknown and somewhat neglected island of the Aegean is transformed into a captivating narrative, a true chronicle of the place and its people.
Within its pages, readers will find significant information about the society, economy, political life, art, and spiritual creation of the island throughout history, from the first nomadic settlements during the Upper Paleolithic period (circa 10,500 B.C.) to the present day: with extensive references to the prehistoric cities of Poliochni and Myrina, the important Koukonisi, Hephaestia, and Kaveirio during the Archaic and Classical periods (7th-4th centuries B.C.), Lemnos during the Hellenistic and Roman times, Lemnos as a Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman possession, as well as the adventures of the island and its inhabitants from the liberation of 1912-13 onwards.
Lastly, the Lemnos of today is highlighted: places of historical significance, archaeological sites and museums, as well as locations of natural beauty, geological monuments, and areas of ecological interest, beaches, and traditional settlements.
Moreover, there are references to the intangible and gastronomic heritage of the island, as well as the musical and dance traditions that continue to be revived to this day.
