Read excerpt
My loves,In January of 1962, during roadworks roughly ten kilometers northwest of Thessaloniki, excavations near the modern village of Derveni uncovered a group of ancient Macedonian tombs belonging to the cemetery of the ancient city of Lete.The burials themselves were spectacular.They belonged to several wealthy Macedonians and contained some extraordinary objects, including the enormous bronze vessel now known as the Derveni Krater, which is probably what most people have seen if they have ev
