The island is part of the Cyclades, lying between Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos. The island is composed primarily of granite. It has little natural fresh water and relies on the desalination of sea water in order to meet its needs. It is believed that the island was named after a local hero, who is considered an offspring of the god Apollo and was worshipped locally in antiquity.<div><br />In Greek mythology Mykonos was the location of the battle between Zeus and the Titan, and the island was named in honor of Apollo's grandson Mykons. During these ancient times, Mykonos, due to its proximity to the then highly populated island of Delos (situated about 2 km away), became very important as a supply island and possibly as a getaway location for Delian citizens.<br />Today, Mykonos is one of the most cosmopolitan islands in Greece, having become increasingly popular with mass tourism. It is known for its diverse and intense nightlife as evidenced by a vast number of bars and nightclubs. Mykonos is also known for its sandy beaches.<br /><br />Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast from Greece's mainland. The largest island is known as Thēra, forming the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands.</div><div><br />Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion, destroying the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single island, and leading to the creation of the current geological caldera.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The 0.03€ and 0.01€ stamps</b> are from 2006 Island Views issue showing Hydra and Lesbos.</div><br />Hydra is one of the Saronic Islands of Greece, located in the Aegean Sea between the Saronic Gulf and the Argolic Gulf. It is separated from the Peloponnese by narrow strip of water. In ancient times, the island was known as Hydrea (Υδρέα, derived from the Greek word for "water"), which was a reference to the springs on the island.Garbage trucks are the only motor vehicles on the island, as cars or motorcycles are not allowed by law. Donkeys, bicycles, and water taxis provide public transportation. The inhabited area, however, is so compact that most people walk everywhere.<div><div><br />Lesbos lies in the far east of the Aegean sea, facing the Turkish coast from the north and east; It is the third largest Greek island and the largest of the numerous Greek islands scattered in the Aegean. The island is forested and mountainous with two large peaks, Mt. Lepetymnos (968 m (3,176 ft)) and Mt. Olympus (967 m (3,173 ft)), dominating its northern and central sections.The island’s volcanic origin is manifested in several hot springs and two principal volcanic harbors. </div></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> 发贴者 <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596533892206378336' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596533892206378336' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>mightystar</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> 时间： <meta content='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/05/274-greecethanks-sofia.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/05/274-greecethanks-sofia.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-05-19T17:49:00-07:00'>5:49 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/05/274-greecethanks-sofia.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=4409091674213011161&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=4409091674213011161&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=4409091674213011161&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=4409091674213011161&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=4409091674213011161&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> 标签： <a href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/search/label/Greece' rel='tag'>Greece</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Monday, March 22, 2010</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZPIbCzLX1qIM4KbhPMOu0ekcALpu7A6ATfe4vv-p057AcF2e5hJeGEkYdLY3BGWCIC9JVzyTW3vByUQL7f7mJtFyK0S4m0NQbnhhLINqxu5IPQKsYUHk7f8HDegK11b_Xn5EfYJsED6SH/s400/IMG_0021.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='6875295635985258693' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='9069245589649112819' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='9069245589649112819'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/03/145-greecethanks-sofia.html'>#145 Greece...Thanks Sofia!</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-9069245589649112819' itemprop='description articleBody'> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/mkFiZ901CMUX3sMEyD7FIA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZPIbCzLX1qIM4KbhPMOu0ekcALpu7A6ATfe4vv-p057AcF2e5hJeGEkYdLY3BGWCIC9JVzyTW3vByUQL7f7mJtFyK0S4m0NQbnhhLINqxu5IPQKsYUHk7f8HDegK11b_Xn5EfYJsED6SH/s400/IMG_0021.jpg" /></a><div><br /></div><div><b>The 0.01 euro stamp</b> on the top is from 2009 Lighthouse issue showing lighthouse in Didimi Islet, Gaidouronisi Syros.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next two stamps are from 2008 Fairy Tales issue.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The 0.10 euro stamp</b> illustrates The Mermaid and Alexander the Great.</div><br />In a popular Greek legend, Alexander the Great's sister, Thessalonike, was turned into a mermaid after she died. She lived, it was said, in the Aegean and when she encountered a ship, she asked its sailors only one question: "Is King Alexander alive?" , to which the correct answer was: "He lives and reigns and conquers the world" . This answer pleased her so she calmed the waters and wish the ship farewell. Any other answer would spur her into a rage. She would raise a terrible storm, with certain doom for the ship and every sailor on board.<div><br /></div><div><b>The 0.57 euro stamp</b> shows Little Red Riding Hood.</div><div><br />It is about a girl called Little Red Riding Hood, after the red hooded cape or cloak she wears. The girl walks through the woods to deliver food to her sick grandmother.<br /><br />A wolf wants to eat the girl but is afraid to do so in public. He approaches the girl, and she naïvely tells him where she is going. He suggests the girl pick some flowers, which she does. In the meantime, he goes to the grandmother's house and gains entry by pretending to be the girl. He swallows the grandmother whole, and waits for the girl, disguised as the grandmother.<br /><br />When the girl arrives, she notices he looks very strange to be her grandma. In most retellings, this eventually culminates with Little Red Riding Hood saying, "My, what big teeth you have!"<br />To which the wolf replies, "The better to eat you with," and swallows her whole, too.<br /><br />A hunter, however, comes to the rescue and cuts the wolf open. Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother emerge unharmed. They fill the wolf's body with heavy stones, which drown him when he falls into a well. Other versions of the story have had the grandmother shut in the closet instead of eaten, and some have Little Red Riding Hood saved by the hunter as the wolf advances on her rather than after she is eaten.<br /><br />The tale makes the clearest contrast between the safe world of the village and the dangers of the forest, conventional antitheses that are essentially medieval, though no written versions are as old as that.</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> 发贴者 <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596533892206378336' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596533892206378336' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>mightystar</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> 时间： <meta content='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/03/145-greecethanks-sofia.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/03/145-greecethanks-sofia.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-03-22T19:05:00-07:00'>7:05 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/03/145-greecethanks-sofia.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=9069245589649112819&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=9069245589649112819&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=9069245589649112819&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=9069245589649112819&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6875295635985258693&postID=9069245589649112819&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> 标签： <a href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/search/label/Greece' rel='tag'>Greece</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Sunday, March 7, 2010</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DFJ0YVVqo2lhsSQoHEpKE0IrPEnXA4q5HGnbBt4F9i4-G_Lzx0vL17pr0ChYM8GfPZ0YSH8nHrFbNdjtHq7ec8weCRVNQcFrY_eQJ1w2D6kqh-GpZmc_7tbWoP7E-7AdfCZJ3U4pscM6/s400/IMG_0129.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='6875295635985258693' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='165616797529750016' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='165616797529750016'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://stampsland.blogspot.com/2010/03/118-greecethanks-panagiotis.html'>#118 Greece...Thanks Panagiotis</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-165616797529750016' itemprop='description articleBody'> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/YBfX5ZY9ZspyBFcJ49sApw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DFJ0YVVqo2lhsSQoHEpKE0IrPEnXA4q5HGnbBt4F9i4-G_Lzx0vL17pr0ChYM8GfPZ0YSH8nHrFbNdjtHq7ec8weCRVNQcFrY_eQJ1w2D6kqh-GpZmc_7tbWoP7E-7AdfCZJ3U4pscM6/s400/IMG_0129.jpg" /></a><div><br /><br /><b>The 0.02c stamp</b> is from Greek Islands issued in 2008 showing Xios Island.<br /><br />Chios (Xios) island is a relatively large island in the East Aegean sea, situated very close to the western shore of Turkey.

It is the third largest island in the Dodecanese and the second most popular and touristy island after Rhodes. It was from the prehistoric times an important channel of the sea ways that started from the Black Sea and along the shoreline of Asia Minor and the islands of Aegean it reached the North Africa. Kos is the birthplace of the father of medicine, Hippocrates, which was born in the island round 460 B.C. and founded the Great School of Medicine of Kos. The island is famous for its tight vegetation and for its temperate climate and it was characterized by the Roman doctor Gallino as "the most temperate place in the world". </div><div><br /></div><div><b>The 0.05 euro stamp</b> is from Greek Mythology issued in 2009 depicting Heracles wrestling against Triton.</div><div><br />Heracles, meaning "glory of Hera", or "glorious through Hera" is the most famous Greco-Roman legendary hero. Traditionally, Heracles was the son of Zeus and Alcmene (see Amphitryon), granddaughter of Perseus. Zeus swore that the next son born of the Perseid house should become ruler of Greece, but by a trick of Zeus's jealous wife, Hera, another child, the sickly Eurystheus, was born first and became king; when Heracles grew up, he had to serve him and also suffer the vengeful persecution of Hera. His first exploit, in fact, was the strangling of two serpents that she had sent to kill him in his cradle.<br /><br />Extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess with both males and females were among his characteristic attributes. Although he was not as clever as the likes of Odysseus or Nestor, Heracles used his wits on several occasions when his strength did not suffice, such as when laboring for the king Augeas of Elis, wrestling the giant Antaeus, or tricking Atlas into taking the sky back onto his shoulders. Together with Hermes he was the patron and protector of gymnasia and palaestrae. His iconographic attributes are the lion skin and the club. These qualities did not prevent him from being regarded as a playful figure who used games to relax from his labors and played a great deal with children. By conquering dangerous archaic forces he is said to have "made the world safe for mankind" and to be its benefactor.Heracles was an extremely passionate and emotional individual, capable of doing both great deeds for his friends (such as wrestling with Thanatos on behalf of Prince Admetus, who had regaled Heracles with his hospitality, or restoring his friend Tyndareus to the throne of Sparta after he was overthrown) and being a terrible enemy who would wreak horrible vengeance on those who crossed him, as Augeas, Neleus and Laomedon all found out to their cost.</div><div><br />Triton is a mythological Greek god, the messenger of the sea. He is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and Amphitrite, goddess of the sea, whose herald he is. He is usually represented as a merman, having the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish.<br /><br />Like his father, Poseidon, he carried a trident. However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was so terrible, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a mighty wild beast.</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div
