I couldn’t help thinking, as I viewed this mosaic from the floor of a Roman gymnasium, did they have trouble with Athlete’s foot?

Acropolis from across the Agora.  It was quite hot that day.

Yeah, the Parthenon.  Had to.

Acropolis athens greece

Really neat temple on Aegina Island.  They were a competing power with Athens in those days, and you could see the Acropolis from here.  This was a “Yeah, Athens, check out our Temple” thing.

Medieval fortress built on ancient ruins in Ancient Corinth.  A serious hike to get up there.

Little square in the ruins of Ancient Corinth.  I could see myself 2000 years ago, relaxing with a myrhh.

Ancient Mycenae gate.  This is like 4000 or so years old.

This is the amphitheatre at Epidauvros.  Still in use today, I’d like to play a techno concert there.  If someone stands in the sweet spot and talks you can here them in any seat.  Several tourists tried it, but they didn’t say anything important.

This is the temple ruins at Nemea.  Hercules killed a lion here as one of his tasks.  And late at night, you can still hear the lion howling with the wind…

Built carefully stone by stone, these arches, built by Achilles and his men….oh wait. This is defunct hotel from the ‘70’s at Aliko beach on Naxos.
