Ancient Corinth - Temple of Apollo
Ancient Corinth - Greece. The most notable ruin of ancient Corinth is the 6th-century BC Temple of Apollo, built on a hill overlooking the remains of the Roman marketplace (agora). Seven of the original 38 Doric columns still stand, and it is one of the oldest stone temples in Greece. The temple was eventually destroyed by earthquakes. ©2008 Jordan Kevrekidis

Acropolis 05 Odeon of Herodes
The Acropolis of Athens, Greece The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped amphitheater wide with a three-storey stone front wall and a wooden roof, and was used as a venue for music concerts and had a capacity of 5,000. The audience stands and the orchestra (stage) were restored in the 1950s. Since then it has been hosting the theatrical, musical, and dance performances of the Athens Festival, which runs from June through September each year. http://kevrekidis.deviantart.com/gallery/ Copyright 2007 Jordan Kevrekidis

Acropolis 01 Parthenon
The Acropolis of Athens, Greece The Parthenon is the most important and characteristic monument of the ancient Greek civilization and still remains its international symbol. It was dedicated to Athena Parthenos, the patron goddess of Athens. It was built between 447 and 438 B.C. The construction of the monument was initiated by Perikles; the supervisor of the whole work was Pheidias, the famous Athenian sculptor, while Iktinos and Kallikrates were the architects of the building. The temple is built in the Doric order and almost exclusively of Pentelic marble. http://kevrekidis.deviantart.com/gallery/ Copyright 2007 Jordan Kevrekidis

Acropolis 1988 2
Another photo of the Athens skyline featuring the Acropolis, with Mt Lycabettus in the background. It was taken in 1988, before the restoration of the Parthenon had progressed much. It was taken on Kodachrome 64, cutting edge for its day, but not as sharp as modern films or good digital cameras.
