Amphoria - Parian girl and Sphinxes 7th-6th C. BCE

"Traces of the former civilization can be seen in the Mycenaen Acropolis near Kolimbithres. In 1000 BC, Paros was taken by the Arcadians. The 8th century BC was a prosperous period for the history of Paros, as the island become a maritime power and created a colony on the island of Thassos, rich in metal deposits. Apart from the economic development, there was cultural flourishing including the construction of many temples, like a temple dedicated to Goddess Athena and the healing center of Asklepieion.

Paros is the birthplace of many ancient poets such as the lyrical poet Archilochus who was the first to use in his poems personal elements rather than heroic ones."
