P	Pato on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La fuente Glauke es una gran masa cúbica de piedra caliza en el recinto arqueológico de la antigua ciudad de Corinto, cercana a la entrada al Museo y al Templo de Apolo. Pausanias informa que la fuente recuperó su nombre de Glauka, hija de Creonte, rey de Corinto y segunda esposa del héroe Jason Medea. La primera esposa de Jason, en un ataque de celos le presentó un manto infundido con veneno. Después de ponerse la capa, Glauke se arrojó a la fuente en un intento de evitar que el veneno la quemara. Similar a la fuente Pirene, consta de cuatro grandes embalses con tres lavabos y una fachada arquitectónica. Aunque la fachada ya ha desaparecido en gran parte, aún quedan visibles los recortes en los que se insertó el parapeto que formaba el frente de los lavabos. Directamente al norte de Glauke, al pie de los escalones, había un pequeño patio pavimentado con tejas en la época romana. A diferencia de todas las otras fuentes en Corinto, Glauke no explota un manantial natural, sino que se alimenta de agua entubada desde una fuente en algún lugar al sur. Este hecho, junto con varias otras consideraciones, sugiere que la fuente puede no datar del período Arcaico como se pensó originalmente, pero tal vez del período helenístico. The Glauke Fountain is a large cubic mass of limestone in the archaeological site of the ancient city of Corinth, near the entrance to the Museum and the Temple of Apollo. Pausanias reports that the source got its name back from Glauka, daughter of Creon, king of Corinth and second wife of the hero Jason Medea. Jason's first wife, in a fit of jealousy, presented him with a cloak infused with poison. After donning the cloak, Glauke threw himself into the fountain in an attempt to prevent the poison from burning it. Similar to the Pirene fountain, it consists of four large reservoirs with three sinks and an architectural facade. Although the façade has largely disappeared, the cuts in which the parapet that formed the front of the toilets was inserted are still visible. Directly north of Glauke, at the foot of the steps, was a small courtyard paved with tiles in Roman times. Unlike all the other sources in Corinth, Glauke does not exploit a natural spring, but instead draws on piped water from a source somewhere to the south. This fact, along with various other considerations, suggests that the source may not date to the Archaic period as originally thought, but perhaps to the Hellenistic period.
a	ariadni theodosiadou on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ #Glauce #Fountain #Ancient #Corinth #Corinthia Η Γλαύκη Κρήνη στην Αρχαία Κόρινθο Η Κρήνη Γλαύκη προβάλλει ως ένας τετραγωνισμένος όγκος φυσικού βράχου, που προέκυψε από την απολάξευση της δυτικής ράχης του λόφου του Ναού του Απόλλωνα. Η Γλαύκη αποτελείται από τέσσερις μεγάλες δεξαμενές και τρεις λεκάνες άντλησης, φέρει δε αρχιτεκτονικά διαμορφωμένη πρόσοψη. Παρόλο που η πρόσοψη είναι σήμερα κατεστραμμένη, διακρίνονται ακόμη οι εγκοπές του στηθαίου που αποτελούσε την πρόσθια όψη των λεκανών άντλησης. Το βαθύ άνοιγμα στο βράχο μπροστά από τις λεκάνες άντλησης χρησίμευσε στη απομάκρυνση των λίθων κατά την κατασκευή των δεξαμενών και πιθανότατα επιχώθηκε όταν λειτούργησε η κρήνη. Ακριβώς στα βόρεια, λίγες βαθμίδες χαμηλότερα από την πρόσοψη βρισκόταν μικρή αυλή, η οποία κατά τη ρωμαϊκή εποχή διαστρώθηκε με πλακίδια. Η Κρήνη συνδέεται με τον μύθο της Γλαύκης, κόρης του βασιλιά της Κορίνθου Κρέοντα, η οποία επρόκειτο να παντρευτεί τον ήρωα Ιάσονα. Ωστόσο, η μάγισσα Μήδεια, η οποία είχε ήδη ακολουθήσει τον Ιάσονα από την Κολχίδα στην Ελλάδα, μετά την Αργοναυτική εκστρατεία και είχε κάνει δύο παιδιά μαζί του, εκδικήθηκε την νεαρή κοπέλα προσφέροντάς της δηλητηριασμένο γαμήλιο πέπλο. Όταν η Γλαύκη φόρεσε τον πέπλο, εκείνος ανεφλέγη και στην προσπάθειά της να σωθεί, έπεσε μέσα στην πηγή, η οποία έκτοτε φέρει το όνομά της. #Glauce #Fountain #Ancient #Corinth #Corinthia The Glafki Fountain in Ancient Corinth The Glafki Fountain stands out as a square volume of natural rock, which resulted from the enjoyment of the western ridge of the hill of the Temple of Apollo. Glafki consists of four large tanks and three pumping basins, and has an architecturally shaped facade. Although the facade is damaged today, the notches of the parapet that was the front of the pumping basins can still be seen. The deep opening in the rock in front of the pumping basins served to remove the stones during the construction of the tanks and was probably embedded when the fountain was open. Just to the north, a few steps below the façade was a small courtyard, which in Roman times was paved with tiles. The Fountain is associated with the legend of Glaucus, daughter of the king of Corinth Creon, who was to marry the hero Jason. However, the witch Medea, who had already followed Jason from Colchis to Greece after the Argonaut expedition and had two children with him, took revenge on the young girl by offering her a poisoned wedding veil. When Glafki put on the veil, he caught fire and in her attempt to save herself, she fell into the spring, which has since been named after her.
C	Carlos Bonfim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fica do lado do Templo de Apolo e sabemos seu nome graças a uma viajante romano que percorreu a Grécia e anotou tudo que viu em seus Cadernos de Viagem. Este primeiro escritor de viagens chamavasse Pausanias. It is next to the Temple of Apollo and we know its name thanks to a Roman traveler who traveled through Greece and wrote down everything she saw in her Travel Notebooks. This first travel writer called Pausanias.
