The National Archeological Museum in Athens;
"At
cape Staphylos, in south-east Skopelos (Northern Sporades),
Nikolaos Platon excavated a large rectangular stone-build tomb in
1936. The site is named after Staphylos, the mythical founder of
the island's first settlement, who originally came from Crete. The opulent grave gifts show that this tomb belonged to a
Mycenaean warrior of the 15th cent. BC"

Det Nasjonale Arkeologiske Museum i Athen;
"På Stafilos odden, på sør-vest Skopelos (Nord Sporadene)
gjorde Nikolaos Platon i 1938 utgravninger av en stor rektangulær stein-bygget grav.
Den fikk navnet etter Stafilos, den mytiske grunnlegger av øyas
første bosetning,
som egentlig kom fra Kreta.
Gavene i graven viser at den må ha tilhørt en mykensk kriger fra
det 15. århundrede F.Kr." - fritt oversatt av
Skopelitissa!
The content of the grave was;
-
Sard seal-stone
with fish representation, and a rock-crystal pedant in the shape
of a figure-of-eight shield.
-
Alabastra with
plant decoration.
-

representations of a nautilus shell and spirals.

Where is the grave?
What to be seen there today?
Can you tell me something?
I have never actually found anything, but was told it is
at the
islet between Velanio and Stafilos!
Hvor er så
graven? Hva kan man se av den?
Vet du noe mer?
Jeg har aldri funnet den, og har blitt fortalt at den
er på
halvøya mellom Velanio og Stafilos!
