AMYKLAI Sanctuary of Apollo - 2007

Amyklai. In an interview with Ta Nea (07/11/2007), A. Delivorrias (Director, Benaki Museum) describes a programme of research begun in 2004, with the aim of completing excavation at the Sanctuary of Apollo and assembling all available material evidence for the Amyklaion Throne and other major monuments of the site. New information incorporated into the restoration drawings of the throne made by M. Korres indicates that it had a round base 8m di. and ca. 4m h.; the supports for the throne, with their lion-paw bases, have also been recognized.
