Ploutonion: Temple of Hades (Eleusis, Greece) · Αναμνήσεις από την Αρχαία Ελλάδα ---- Memories of Ancient Greece

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In 2007, armed with a minor in Ancient Greek and a burning passion for all things Hellenic, I embarked on a study-abroad program to the Cradle of Western Civilization: Athens, Greece. Still an undergraduate student at that time, I enrolled at Dikemes University (International Center for Hellenic and Mediterranean Studies) so I could study Classical Greek archaeology and modern Greek culture up close and personal.

Over the course of my study-abroad experience, I managed to create over 2,000 digitally-born files, ranging from images and videos to sound recordings. For 10 years now, these priceless resources have been stored on discs and left to gather dust in the dark recesses of personal office decorated with statues of the Olympian Pantheon. After learning of the inherent fragility of digital content, in addition to the instability of disc-based storage mediums, I decided it was time to rescue my travelogue collection from the incessant march of time (and the resulting bit-rot that accompanies this marching of time).

Additionally, I realized that while I own these resources that effectively capture Athens and its surrounding environs as they were in the first decade of the twenty-first century, they were doing absolutely no good. To remedy this, I decided it was time to make each resource publicly accessible for research and educative endeavors. Thus, two birds are being killed with one proverbial stone: important digital resources are being preserved while at the same time providing access to anyone who may find them interesting or useful.

Ευχαριστώ και καλή τύχη!
