HISTORICAL MAKES
In the antiquity the island had a lot of names, but epekra'tise the name Corfu.
At this Mythology, the name is owed in the nymph Ko'rkyra, girl of river
Aswpoy' that loved the god of sea, Neptune and him brought in the island.
The archaeological discoveries that were discovered in cave term ¢gjos
Matcaj'os show that prwtokatojki'cike the Palajoljcjki' Season, while according
to the experts the season ekej'ni.to island was linked with the opposite
continental coast. The real acne of Corfu begins the season (the 775 - 750
p.H.), where first Greek settlers, the Eretrjej's from Evia, they reached
and were installed in the island. Follow the apoj'kisi from Corinthian and
the city of Corfu became fast and same afterwards the ST p.H. aj., important
economic force, mainly thanks to the trade that it developed with the cities
of coasts of Adriatic sea. The Epj'damnos (current Dyrra'hjo), colony that
was founded the 625 p.H., stood reason colide the 435 p.H. Kerkyraj'oj with
the Corinthians, because the political agitations that were marked in their
common colony. Gegono'-nta the Epjda'mnoy however they constituted one from
the reasons for the beginning of Peloponnisjakoy' of war, at the first years
of which Corfu was faith ally of Athens, until 302p.H. that became base of
operations of Lakedajmonj'wn. The continuous piratical raids, mainly the
229 p.H., forced Corfu to ask the protection of Romen, in order to they make
in this way their first possession in Greek territory. At the Byzantine period,
administratively Corfu depended in the "subject of" Kefallinia,
while station of that period constituted the fourth Crusade, therefore with
the distribution of territories Corfu was granted in the Venetians for seven
years. In the Greek hands it came back in 1214 and in the period that follows
dominates progress, safety and quietness. It follows genjkw'tera the historical
way of Eptanni'swn. One of the more important makes was the devastating raid
of Mparmparo'ssa in 1537, when thousands Kerkyraj'oj esfa'gisan and still
thousands were sold as slaves in ancrw-popa'zara the east. Also, big destructions
it knew at the duration of B of World War. It deserves however we stress
her big offer in the growth of letters. Here a'llwste functioned the first
Greek University and the first Faculty of Good Arts.
