Talos the ancient robot

TALOS was a giant, bronze automoton--a living statue forged by the divine smith Hephaistos (Hephaestus). According to others he was instead the last of the ancient bronze race of man.
Zeus gave Talos to his lover Europa after delivering her to the island of Krete (Crete). The giant was given the task of patrolling the island and circled it three times a day, driving off pirates with volleys of rocks. He was eventually destroyed by Poeas or the Dioskouroi (Dioscuri) twins with the aid of the magic of the witch Medea as he tried to prevent the Argonauts from the landing on the island.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt was founded by Alexander the Great in April 331 BC ,and became the capital of the Graeco-Egyptian world. The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria also was called "The Pearl of the Mediterranean". The ancient port city was home for one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - The Pharos of Alexandria (The Lighthouse of Alexandria).
The port served as a primary center for commerce and trade linking Europe with the Middle East and all other points along the Mediterranean Sea. It was an important route for merchants and travelers of ancient times that allowed for trade and cultural exchange between emergent peoples of the region. Within a few generations Alexandria become the largest city in the world second only to Rome. Much of the city design and construction came under the rule of Ptolemy and his successors, later by the Roman Empire. The city was not only a center for trade but also became the worlds first center for cultural and scientific research.

Mycenae-Cyclopean Walls

Mycenae (Μυκήνες) is one of the most important archaeological sites of Greece.
The founding of Mycenae is lost in prehistory, but according to Greek legends,
it was founded by the legendary hero Perseus - son of Zeus and Danae, daughter
of the king of Argos, Acricios - who left Argos for Tyrins and later employed
Cyclopes to build the walls of Mycenae with giant stones that no human could
move (thus the characterization of the walls as "Cyclopean").
