The Acropolis

And we, humans, think we are so powerful. Look at how small we look in front of the Parthenon. Do you have an ehanced appreciation for ants now?
This is the Caryatids. This side, what they call the porch side, was apprently dedicated to a God named Erechteon, who can't be traced back into history. It is also believed to have been dedicated to Poseidon. Only four of them are orignals--one was resculpted and one was replaced. How good are your magic eyes? Can you dechipher the difference?
This is me and Lindsey, Scott's cousin, with the Odeion of Herod Atticus. This time we look pretty large in comparison, eh? I suppose today's lesson is on perspective.
