 Amphipolis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It remains an open question whether Ennea Hodoi is to be identified with the settlement on Hill 133, where the destruction level dates to the mid-5th century BC, or with Amphipolis itself, where in the vicinity of the north wall excavation has uncovered an establishment prior to the 5th century BC wall.
The foundation of Amphipolis finally in 438/ 437 BC, in the time of Pericles, by the general Hagnon was a great success for the Athenians, whose chief purpose was to ensure control of the rich Strymon hinterland and the Pangaion mines.
Their success, however, was again short- lived, because at the end of the first decade of the Peloponnesian War (442 BC) Amphipolis broke away from its mother city, Athens, and remained independent until its incorporation into the kingdom of Macedonia by Philip II (357 BC).

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Babylon, Iraq; 689 BC), built by the king Nebuchadnezzar for one of his wives in hopes of quieting her pining for her homeland, inspired this music suspended on a simple plaintive melody, ornamented and floating between harmonic and canonic textures.
With flesh of ivory, robe of gold, and throne of jewels, Pheidias' statue inspired Epictetus to write: 'Go see it, for it would be a misfortune to have died without doing so!' The music proceeds deliberately with heavy pulsations at various conflicting tempi, each suggesting giant footsteps.
