SANTORINI > MYTHOLOGY

MYTHOLOGY Mythology Thira Santorini Cyclades Greek Islands Greece

Santorini or Strongili as it was called in ancient times referring to its round shape that was significantly changed by the violent eruption of its volcano in the 15th century BC, when the central part sank creating the caldera.

The myth that Defkaliona and Piras survived the storm created by Zeus to punish the people had a direct connection with the eruption of Santorini. Chronologically this storm is dated to about 1530 - 1400 BC.

Another myth exists concerning a major flood that was caused by Poseidon’s anger with Athina in a battle as to who would govern Athens. The death of Ippolytou was attributed to drowning in a large tidal wave that Poseidon created near Troizina. There are other myths that connect this catastrophe with the sinking of Atlantis.
