Ephesus II

An ancient Greek inscription and the Library of Celsus in Ephesus. Ephesus was an ancient Greek city in the region known as Ionia during the Classical period. It lies beside Selcuk and Kusadasi in Asia Minor (Anatolia), Turkey. The Library of Celsus was built in the 2nd century AD to serve as a burial monument dedicated to Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, the Roman senator and proconsul of Asia. The style of the library, with its ornate, balanced, well-planned facade, reflects the Greek influence on Roman architecture.

Eternal Olive

Olea Europaea or Olive tree (from Greek word elaion). It was purely a matter of local pride that the Athenians claimed that the olive first grew in Athens. In an archaic Athenian foundation myth, Goddess Athena won the patronship of Athens from Poseidon with the gift of the olive. The olive was sacred to Athena and appeared on the Athenian coinage.

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
