        ORTYGIA ISLAND
        By around 750 BC, Sicily had three Phoenician and a dozen Greek colonies.
        Syracuse’s island of Ortygia, stretches out over the sea. Ortygia Island is connected by a bridge to
        the mainland, where the modem city extends. According to the 5th c. BC historian Thucydides, the
        ancient city was founded in 734-733 BC by a group of Corinthian settlers led by the oecist Archias.
