The weekend at Samaria Gorge was amazing....but thats another post for another time.....
today was back to the grindstone with classes. This beautiful country makes it very hard to concentrate on work :/
Today, I learned one of my new favorite Greek words:
χορόσ it means the dance
(pronounced chorόs)
We also had a guest speaker today. She is a friend of my professor's and a practicing lawyer in Crete.
She specializes in Minoan law!
She told us that the law code of Gortyna (i have pictures of this in earlier posts) was the most advanced law code of its day. The code outlined very specific rights, rules, and regulations for the community.
Her influence for going into law was this law code of Gortyna and she has continued her studies of Minoan law. She says she can see how the ancient law code of Gortyna and its creation is still relevant to today's laws.
Although I'm not interested in law or becoming a lawyer it was really interesting to see how the influence of an ancient civilization can still be relevant today.
Well done you smart Minoans you. :-)
