CHILDREN OF HYLEA - utställning

During the powerful migration movement of the Greeks in the 8th century B.C. along the coast of the Black and Azov Seas, a zone of ancient statehood arose, the largest centers of which were Olbia, Chersonesus, Panticapae, Hylea.

Hylea are floodplain forests in the lower reaches of the Dnipro and Ingulets. Herodotus also wrote about it: "If you cross Borysthenes, the first from the sea will be Hylea, and above it live the Scythians-farmers." Here located the key to the secrets of steppe Scythia, and this place is our home. This place is our home, where we were born and grew up, where we respected the nature that gave us its beauty. But today Hylea may disappear forever.
