Today was unboxing day for my book on Venantius Fortunatus! I'm incredibly happy, and frankly relieved, finally to see it in print. Cream Cheese here played my desk gargoyle through much of the writing.

In the rugged Cretan mountains --about 60 km south of Chania-- this enigmatic conical limestone structure is believed to have been related to the city of Syia (Συία) (modern Sougia/Σούγια) or the nearby Elyros (Έλυρος).

Local tradition refers to it as "O Fournos" (i.e. The Kiln). Traditional dome-shaped wood-fired ovens (fournoi) built across rural Greece resemble this monolith.
