Description
This image shows three figures, 2 children riding on donkeys laden with loads of supplies and an older woman leading one of the donkeys. The path they are on appears to be paved with low stone walls on one side and overgrowth of plants in the vicinity of Eleutherna or Kommos. The people seem to be caught in a moment of daily life where transporting goods/supplies is a routine occurrence. See all items with this value

Notes
The city of Eleutherna was named after its mythological founder Eleuther the son of Apollo and Aethusa. Though it is not certain whether Eleutherna or Kommos is depicted in this slide, Eleutherna is a more recent site, so it is more likely to be Eleutherna based on the wear on the stones.
Date photographed
