| | Greece Paros History: The history of Paros Island, Greece, Cyclades |
 | | The Ionians from Attica were the next to colonize the island and as a result, Paros’ naval strength grew, as did its agricultural activities and marble trade. |
 | | During the Archaic Period, Paros colonized the island of Thassos, while literature and sculpture thrived, producing significant artists, such as the iambic poet Archilochos, the elegist Euenos and the sculptors Agoracritos, Scopas and Thrasymedes. |
 | | Many famous Greek statues have been sculpted from Parian marble, such as the Aphrodite of Milo, the Maidens of the Acopolis, the Niki of Delos and the Hermes of Praxiteles. |
