Ancient Assos.....The city was founded from 1000 to 900 BC by Aeolian colonists from Lesbos, who specifically are said to have come from Methymna. The settlers built a Doric Temple to Athena on top of the crag in 530 BC. From this temple Hermias of Atarneus, a student of Plato, ruled Assos, the Troad and Lesbos for a period of time, under which the city experienced its greatest prosperity. (Strangely, Hermias was actually the slave of the ruler of Atarneus.[4]) Under his rule, he encouraged philosophers to move to the city. As part of this, in 348 BC Aristotle came here and married King Hermeias's niece, Pythia, before leaving for Lesbos three years later in 345 BC. This 'golden period' of Assos ended several years later when the Persians arrived, and subsequently tortured Hermias to death. The Persians were driven out by Alexander the Great in 334 BC. Between 241 and 133 BC, the city was ruled by the Kings of Pergamon. However, in 133 BC, the Pergamons lost control of the city as it was absorbed by the Roman empire. St. Paul also visited the city during his third missionary journey through Asia Minor, which was between 53-57 AD, on his way to Lesbos. From this period onwards, Assos shrunk to a small village, as it has remained ever since. Ruins around Assos continue to be excavated. The pillars from the ancient port lay in the harbor for over a millennia. Eventually they were probably sold. In the early 1900s an attempt was made to move the contents of the Temple of Athena. Much of the art has been moved to museums like the Louvre.[4] The art found includes pictures both of mythical creatures and heraldic events.

Per ricordare Samb e Diop, i ragazzi uccisi da un fascista di Casa Pound, oltre 20000 persone hanno sfilato sabato 17 per le strade di Firenze. Tra le decine di associazioni inizio la galleria con questa, anche in considerazione del fatto che, di lì a poco e a poche centinaia di metri, si sarebbe giocato Fiorentina-Atalanta.

The Assos village is pretty picturesque. It's built on the thin neck of land connecting the island proper to the hilly little peninsula the Assos Fort is built on.
L'ass' 'e baston'....smazz' 'o mazz'!
L'Asso di bastoni appartiene all'elemento fuoco ed è un simbolo fallico.
Segue i principi della crescita energetica, è l'incarnazione della forza e dello sviluppo.
E' la forza di chi detiene il comando e sa far seguire l'azione al pensiero,. l'agire alla volontà stessa di agire : la concretezza, l'energia che crea.
E' il progresso, l'avventura, la sorpresa, l'evento positivo inaspettato, le potenzialità, le capacità.
E' il simbolo del comando, dell'autorità, del potere esercitato benevolmente, con sicurezza.
E' la creazione del proprio destino.
