The Spring of Arethusa

Om The Spring of Arethusa

This is a book for tourists, but not a travel book. The spring of Arethusa in Syracuse, Sicily, has attracted Roman senators, inspired Renaissance artists and encouraged admirals in the Age of Sail. According to legend the natural spring is a nymph from Greece who fled an unwanted lover to reappear on the rocky island of Ortygia. Today Arethusa is one of the most visited sites in Syracuse and is the symbol of the province. Arethusa, along with St. Lucy, is one of the twin souls of the city. The Spring of Arethusa is the first time the history of the nymph and fountain has been published for a general audience. It is the first of the Syracuse: City of Water and Light pair of books. The companion, St. Lucy of Syracuse: A Biography, is scheduled for release in 2024.
