Ελληνικά: Ο Ορχομενός: Πόλη της αρχαίας Αρκαδίας. Στο πίσω μέρος: Η καρστική κοίλωμα του οροπέδιο "Χωτούσσα/Βλαχέρνα Αρκαδίας/Κανδήλα Αρκαδίας". Το θέατρο είναι το μεγαλύτερο που κατασκευάστηκε εις την ελληνιστική εποχή. English: Orchomenus is an ancient Greek town, Arcadia, Peloponnese. In the back: A closed karst depression. Of its 7,7 km roughly 2,4 km are visible in this photo. In the still existing book “Description of Greece”, Pausanias (ca. AD 110 – 180) describes Arcadia and Orchomenus, its theatre (photo) and a plain, which is covered by a lake. Today farmers complain, that fields remain wet or even flooded for too long, in spite of drainage: katavothres (Greek term for ponors) and one artificial tunnel do not drain fast enough. Deutsch: Orchomnenos, eine antike griechische Stadt in Arkadien, Peloponnes. Im Hintergrund die 7,7 km breite, abflusslose Hochebene (ca. 2,4 km sichtbar). Bereits der griechische Geschichtsschreiber Pausanias (ca. 110-180) beschreibt in seinem erhaltenen Buch „Beschreibung Griechenlands“ das Theater, Berge, Städte und den See in der Ebene. Die ehemaligen Seeboden bearbeitenden Landwirte klagen, weil insbesondere nach besonders feuchten Winterzeiten, die Böden trotz Entwässerungsgräben noch naß, oder sogar überflutet sind. Das Katavothra (griechisch für Ponor) und ein künstlicher Tunnel entwässern die abflusslose Hochebene (Geologisch: Depression) unterirdisch nicht schnell genug. |
