Map Assignment for Trojan War

Use the map distributed in class.

As part of your quiz for next Friday, please label on the map handed out in class the following:
If you do not find it on the map, draw it in (for example, if it is an island, and there is no island on this map where it should be, draw an island and label it: if it is a city and there is no dot on the map where it should be, put a dot on the map and label it). If it is not anywhere on this map, as is true of Ethiopia, put a label on the appropriate edge of the map). Most, but not all, items are relevant to Iliad.
  1. Troy (i.e. the site that is usually identified with the Troy of the Trojan War)
  2. Athens
  3. Sparta
  4. Olympia (where Olympic games were held)
  5. Crete
  6. Thrace
  7. The Peloponnese
  8. Boeotia
  9. Pylos
  10. Argos
  11. Mycenae (aka Mykhenai)
  12. Argos
  13. Adriatic Sea
  14. Aegean Sea
  15. Ithaca
  16. Lesbos
  17. Lemnos
  18. Tenedos
  19. Mt. Ida (where Zeus sits)
  20. Mt. Olympus
  21. Lycia (whence Sarpedon and Glaukos)
  22. Salamis (whence Teucer and an Ajax)
  23. Aulis (whence the Greeks set sail for Troy)
  24. Korinth/Corinth

Please find out how far it is from Aulis in Boeotia to Troy (in a straight line, not that that would be possible in ancient times, as well as an approximation of how long it is along the coast).
