tragic summer haiku d’été – Thera erupts = Théra éclate
Thera erupts
so very far away –
Knossos walloped
Théra éclate,
tellement lointaine –
Knossos détruit
Richard Vallance
In 1370 B.C., the volcano at Thera erupted in a massive explosion, and even though it was far away from Knossos, it set off an earthquake which utterly destroyed the city.
En 1370 av. J.-C., le volcan à Théra a éclaté dans une explosion massive. En dépit de la grande distance entre Théra et Knossos, le volcan a déclenché un tremblement de terre qui a entièrement détruit la ville.
