Pictured are bronze Anthemia from the upper ends of tripods. 6th - 1st half of 5th c. BC. These are pieces of votive offerings by the pilgrims found at the Sanctuary of Olympia and now on display in the museum at Ancient Olympia.
Beautiful design created thousands of years ago, remains inspirational today. This scalloped motif is repeated today in terra-cotta on traditional tile rooftops throughout Greece.
A very hot day in Delphi. Pictured here is the most complete building remaining on the site - the Treasury of Athens erected to display the spoils and trophies of their victories. The site is not as accessible as it was when we visited almost 20 years ago, but it is no less spectacular. A group of theatre students from the University of Florida spontaneously reenact a piece of Oedipus Rex in the amphitheater ruins which helps bring the setting to life.
Fun wall art by college students!
