A children’s book written by Kostis Stikas and imaginatively illustrated by his daughter, Sofia Stika, serves as a continuation of a study on the Antikythera Mechanism that was awarded by the Academy of Athens in 2017.
This publication is destined to be cherished not only by children, but also by young and adult readers alike. Within the pages of this archaeological fairy tale, Sofia, Myrto, and Ilias enjoy the delights of summer on the island of Symi, near where, in the early 20th century, the technological marvel of the Antikythera Mechanism was brought to light—a device often described as the first computer in human history.
