Kokosalaki's name as a designer was sealed worldwide with her designs for the opening ceremony costumes for the Greek Olympics in Athens, 2004, and her designs drew high-profile fans such as Keira Knightley and Kate Hudson. Antony Baker, Kokosalaki's widower and business partner, is now director of the company they founded together in 1999, and has taken on the mantle of designer. Creating the designs himself has been easier than employing a designer, as he tells BBC Culture, "I'm so clear about what she liked… Before Sophia died, she told me she wanted me to keep the brand going, for our daughter, Stelli," he says.

One of the inscriptions, which are considered “very important” by scholars, describes a pirate named Glafketis who took control of Kythnos in the 4th century BC.

A perfectly-preserved shell-shaped vessel demonstrated the high level of artistic achievement in that civilization, in what was perhaps the most endearing find of all, showing that art was made for art’s sake even on the remote island in the days of antiquity. According to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete, where they're on permanent display, the snake goddesses are "the most important cult objects from the Knossos Temple repositories". They also beg the question: was ancient Crete a matriarchy? Kelly Macquire, in a podcast for Ancient History Encyclopaedia, says: "Women were prominent in Minoan religion, more than any other civilisation, and we know this because of the snake goddess statues that have been found in Minoan contexts, and the prominence of priestesses in Minoan art". Classical Greek (510 BC – 323 BC) archaeology is dominated by art, religion, and war. During the Classical period, Greek cities were at war with one another and invading Persia until Athens and Sparta emerged as the superior cities following the Persian Wars (499–449 BC). [28] Athens and Sparta rivalled for supreme power during the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC). [28] The war situation across the region led to significant developments in settlements, architecture, and crafts.Discusses developments in the discipline, especially the tendency to specialize by province, artifact, artistic medium, or methodology; and the isolation of Roman archaeology, even the Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference (TRAC), from theoretical approaches in other fields. He calls for synthetic studies and theoretically informed research with both a regional and an empire-wide scope.
