Just
when I was at a loss, Lina, the hotel service lady, came to me: "Mr.
Hualu, you should relax. I have already asked my friend to inquire. The
hijacking incident has been solved. Your friend Mr. Tang Jerry I'm on the plane
again, and I can arrive in Athens tomorrow. Before he arrives, would you like
me to accompany you to visit the temple in Athens?" My uneasy heart
finally calmed down. I started to pay attention to Miss Lena. It was a
beautiful girl with beautiful hair falling on her shoulders and ample breasts
that almost broke her thin coat. Looking at this Greek girl, I suddenly thought
of the goddess Athena, the divine goddess of wisdom. What will you do when such
a goddess suddenly appears in front of you? I'm numb. I accepted her invitation
to me.
Accompanied
by Lina, I walked into various classical temples in Greece with a fresh and
curious mood, and swam in the world of exchange of virtual and real. Lena took
me to the most famous Parthenon in the Acropolis. She told me that the
Parthenon was built between 447 and 432 BC. Legend has it that when Athens was
attacked by the Persians, Athens was rescued with the help of Athena, so the
Athenians built the great Parthenon Temple on Mount Acropolis in the city to
commemorate her. Pity this much-loved goddess, she blessed the Greek civilization
through the golden age, but she herself was in danger in the flames of war. The
Parthenon became a Christian church in the Roman Empire; it became a mosque
during the Turkish occupation; By the 19th century, when the British ambassador
brought those exquisite carvings back to the British Museum, it had become a
real ruin.
The
Parthenon, which Lina is proud of and is proud of, is entirely made of marble.
It is divided into a front hall, a main hall, and an apse. The surrounding
colonnades are composed of Doric marble columns. The stone pillars on the top
of the temple wall are connected by 92 marble reliefs. The stone carvings
depict mythical war scenes, including the birth of Athena and her struggle with
Poseidon for the right to rule Athens. In the main hall, the 12-meter-high
statue of Athena, carved in gold and ivory, was originally enshrined. Over the
years, the Parthenon has suffered from natural and man-made disasters and
experienced many vicissitudes. In 1687, the Venetian army bombarded the Turkish
army stationed in the Acropolis. The roof and walls of the temple were blown
down, and the entire Acropolis was also destroyed by artillery fire. Most of
those wonderful relief slabs were transported to England by the British in the
19th century, and they are now collected in the British Museum. It is the most
symmetrical Doria-style grand building in the world. The neat and smooth stone
pillars in the hall are recognized as the most balanced and beautiful
masterpiece in the existing ancient buildings. Each stone pillar is slightly
tilted inward to balance the parallax of the audience. , making its shape more
harmonious and beautiful. The stone pillars are thicker at the bottom and
thinner at the top, and slightly convex in the middle. The 20 grooves change light
and dark with the movement of sunlight, making it look as if the pillars are
hovering upwards. The base of the temple is convex in the middle, and all the
columns are also inclined towards the center. This imperceptible design creates
a special visual effect, which makes this not very tall building feel tall and
straight.
Lina
told me that among the ruins of the Acropolis, there is also the Temple of
Erechtheon that is worth seeing. She enthusiastically took my hand and led me
to the Erechtheon Temple. She introduced that Erechtheon was the first king of
Athens, and it is said that Athena brought him up. The Erechtheon Temple was
built from 420 BC to 406 BC. It was the most important area where sacrificial
activities were held in the Acropolis. The olive tree, which is regarded as a
symbol of Athena, grew here. This temple is different in that its structure is
asymmetrical. The temple consists of two unrelated colonnades, the most famous
of which is the 6 maiden-shaped stone pillars on the roof supported by small
colonnades on the south side. The Goddess Column faces the Parthenon Temple. It
is exquisitely carved and has a particularly beautiful image, making it a
representative work of the Ionic Column. The reason why the temple is composed
of two different parts is that two gods are enshrined in the temple, Athena
Porias in the east and Poseidon Erechtes in the west. The Temple of Erechtheon
is the place where the legendary goddess Athena and Poseidon fought. Looking
around, there is no trace of the spring pierced by Poseidon's halberd. The
temple is surrounded by bare rocks and no grass grows. .
In addition to the Parthenon and the Erechtheon, the Delphic
Sanctuary
is also a good place for my roaming. According to the legend of Greek
mythology, the god Zeus once sent two eagles flying in two opposite directions,
and they finally met at Delphi. So Delphi is considered to be the center of the
world, known as the "navel of the earth". Delphi used to be occupied
by a giant python skin tray. Later, Apollo, the sun god, killed Peto and became
the master of Delphi. On Mount Parnassus near Delphi, there is a mysterious gas
that can make people communicate with the god Apollo in a state of
intoxication, and experience the prophecy of the god Apollo. A shepherd accidentally
discovered this secret, and later the local residents elected Perthia as the
priestess, who was in charge of conveying the oracle. Around the 8th century
BC, people built the Delphi oracle, the Temple of Apollo, near the mysterious
gas. The main hall is made of limestone as the foundation, and the top is made
of marble. The whole building is divided into three parts. Throughout the
Hellenistic era, Delphi remained the center of Greek religion. In the classical
era, it often influenced the political and economic development of the Greek
states, and even had an incalculable impact on people's ideology. Its status in
the hearts of the Greeks at that time was as sacred as Jerusalem in the hearts
of Muslims.
When
the sun was about to set, Lina picked up a mobile phone and said to me in
horror: "Mr. Hualu, we have to rush back to the hotel. The boss is looking
for me urgently. Something happened to the hotel, and a murder occurred in the
guest room I was in charge of." !"
