年前這個時侯往希臘探望出差中的泰狄熊,
四個星期的 white holiday, 第ニ星期因泰狄熊迷途，
六時半天黑才到達 Marathon , 一陣陣陰風吹來,
水晶晶戰戰兢兢地夜篤當年死傷枕藉的戰場,
不知是否打擾了那些大英雄, 一個半小時後撞邪,
弄了隻天殘腳, 不可外出, 只可留在家裡休養，
一心遊走希臘, 那知動彈不得真是大大的懲罰!
待了兩星期後, 終於忍不到, 與泰狄熊帶著隻天殘腳
行上Acropolis, weekend 在希臘四處去訪古蹟,
星期六下午待泰狄熊下班後, 立刻爭取時間吃點東西,
又出走啦! 有次到Attica 其中一港口 Porto Rafiti ,
這是雅典以北的一個海灣!
到達已是三時許, 小小漁港, 全迫滿當遊人,
只有兩、三家地道食店, 不少枱子被放於戶外,
看到一餐廳門前的八爪魚陣,   乾曬八爪魚,
我倆待了半小時才有枱子, 幸好已打底了, 吃了點沙律才出來,
是日第二道午餐是下午三時四十五分, 就試吓地道八爪魚吧!!
希臘第一寶燒八爪魚!
在這家店見過每條觸鬚長達一米以上的, 長過水晶晶的手臂!
吃胞胞後, 剛遇到店主收八爪魚,把八爪一疏疏地分開。

德爾斐Delphi 是古希臘的聖地，古希臘的 黃大仙廟！
不僅止是考古學中最重要古遺址，這裡也是供奉德爾斐阿波羅的地方，德爾斐位於福基斯，現在已列入聯合國教科文組織的世界遣產名錄。
一個祈求神諭的地方 oracle，可作給予可靠指導的神廟，著名的德爾斐神諭就在這裡頒布。 a place where the question about the future were asked。 看看這圖有否感到靈氣迫人！
"泛希臘聖地”是一個外在于城邦政治的復習構造，在宗教意義上為所有希臘人提供自我認識的唯一途徑，據說阿波羅神廟的入口上刻著「認識你自己」。
德爾斐是古希臘世界的中心，地球、宇宙的中央。
看看 ancient Theatre 這圖有否感到靈氣迫人！
德爾斐的雅典人宝庫Athenian Tresaury！
Sacred way leading to Apollo Temple ！
阿波羅神廟 Temple of Apollon
這個地址上相继建有六個阿波羅神廟，最初可能是用月桂枝建的草房。后两個可能也是用不持久的材料所建，考古發掘没有找到它们的踪迹。
德爾斐的阿波羅神廟之廢墟
阿波羅神廟中有一永恆之光 Eternal flame！
阿波羅來到德爾斐時，是以海豚的形狀出現！
當他來到德爾斐的時候，這里由一條巨蟒“皮同”（Python）看守，它是蓋婭（大地）所生，守護着一個屬於忒彌斯的神谕。阿波羅希望用自己的神諭來指導人們，因而用弓射殺了皮同，将聖地取而代之。
關於阿波羅神廟還有很多故中事，可到http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi
古時每四年希臘的運動員便敘於此地進行 Pythian Games, 即 奧林匹克運動會的前身。

希臘古蹟篇 7 如來神掌 Meteora
粵語片有曹達華、于素秋、陳寶珠、蕭芳芳,
武俠片內各路英雄齊集上華山、鵝眉山、武當 feel!
有行俠仗義的英雄等大狹到處闖蕩江湖,對付奸人如
六指琴魔、石堅的天蠶腳、什麽黑眉道人......
wi 宏宏的飛刀、飛劍、交剪, 卜, 斧頭, 輕功, 內功!
在希臘中部平原之間的豎立著一楝楝巨型岩石,
是古希臘東正教最大及重要的的寺廟group,
這裡有六間寺廟建築於柱形的沙岩上。
****現在已列入聯合國教科文組織的世界遣產名錄。
巨型岩石是地震, 岩石沖刷和風化累積而成的自然景象,
也有地質學家証實這裡曾在海平面以下, 岩石有著水流沖刷的痕跡；
我去時四月好多煙霞, 仍可看到對面雪山上有些積雪!
十一世紀希臘有群隱居修士要閉關修練，起初住在Meteora的山洞內,
因為要找個安靜地方反思及靈修, 這半空之地有數百米高是不二之選,
於是不辭勞苦地一磚一瓦把建築材料運送上去岩石上便 ；
不知從前的僧人是否識輕功？咁都諗到！
十四世紀希臘的東正教修士逃難到平原上, 然後巨石上慢慢建造教堂,
及修道院. 成為一個靈修聖地,後來形成了一股吸引力，
修道院不僅吸引信徒修士, 其他東正教徙以外的哲學家、藝術家.
也來到這裡閉關修練！還有泰狄熊的希臘同事，相約他上山修行，
因山上寺廟只許男士留宿，不設女賓！
所有女士天黑前要下山，因為 女人是邪惡的動物耶！
Obedience is practised, the will is disciplined and faith is forged.
來這個地靈人傑的地方，要由 Delphi 再坐經過約二小時車程，
終於來到Lamia , 過數次翻山越嶺, 越過一過又一過的山峽，
經過棉花田的平原, 這裡又有著一段區再經希臘北部海邊,
沿途盡覧優美風景, 藍天白雲，有崇山峻嶺，翠綠的森林,
大片平原, 真的沒有想到希臘也可以有這麽多变化的地形!!
這裡沒有橄欖樹,卻有松樹,四月天遠處的山峰上仍披上一層白雪，
幾個鐘的路程後,終於到巨石林
咐近有個環境一流小鎮Kalambaka, 有四星酒店設備，
去Meteora 的人會在Kalambaka, 小鎮落腳,
有點像古代粵語片曹 達華、于素秋上華山、鵝眉山 feel!
不知有沒有天蠶腳、六指琴魔？
數百年前東正教僧人把這些廟宙是已大石上，
全盛時期這裡有多達十六間，現今只剩下六間，
這些沙岩是數百米高，普通人不容易進入，所以十分安全！
以往僧人坐於吊籃內**，出入以是繩索大纜及滑輪吊上百米巨岩,
後來才有木梯、掘石階, 有些更是連接過對面較大的岩石！
The Holy Monastery of Greata Meteora
希臘東正教及當時的文化藝術也在修道院的庇蔭下保存下來,
所以每間廟宙Monasteries有聖堂church 牆上 有無數 Icon, fresco ,
聖器收藏室the Sacristies, 圖書館the libraries。
我去到Grand Meteroa 時個相機冇電, 好tum 心!
今次跟旅行團只能參觀兩、三間寺廟,
有些寺廟不是天天開放給遊客參觀!
由於是四、五年前跟當地旅行團到那裡遊覽,
事先不知有這行程, 只知, 拜訪希臘的東正教寺廟,
又沒有地圖, 在遠遠地看到石上影到一些寺廟,
山路又蜿蜒曲折,去到門口又沒有牌, 有也是希臘文,
導遊話係邊就係, 現在已唔係好分到5座修道院邊座打邊座,
花多眼亂, 寫呢篇blog有的眼花花感覺,
Monastry of Roussanou or Monastry of Holy Trinity
另一邊看是大岩石上修建寺廟, 從後面看並不是懸空,
有山路連接的!
入寺廟規格:
男女不可穿短褲、背心、涼鞋！
女子不可穿褲，寺廟提供長裙及頭紗給穿褲的女子。
女子穿長褲不純潔，其實不用退下長褲，
只是橡根頭的又長又闊半節裙，加上你的長褲上，
一定合身有三種 size， 頭紗同天主教的差不多!
The monastry of Varlaam ,
Founded in 1518, the Katholikn as built in 1542 and contain some frescoes by the the ban iconograper Fragkos Katelanos !
如今修道院間有車路連接, 不用大費週張坐籃子山,
修道院真係俾人好幽靜嘅感覺呀！

再上衛城是今次(2007 三月)在希臘的另一願望，
人算不如天算, 弄了隻天蠶腳後，仍然想！
有者事境成，拗柴後用拐仗一拐一拐的拐上去！
不須坐車也上到了!
現代人走路上衛城也感吃力，希臘人怎麼把大石搬運上衛城？
衛城有什麼咁吸引？拗柴後用拐仗一拐一拐的也要拐上去？
每一石一柱也是人類文化、歷史的見證！是不可分割的部份。
這是再前一年的東正教復活節當天，衛城沒有開放,
只好遠望, 今次第三次下定決心要上！ 一拐一拐也要拐上去，
因為水晶晶希望泰狄熊可以在衛城再說一遍心底語-
愛的宣言，如上次在 Cape Sunio 的懸崖邊，
在衛城便更加有意思！
Amphitheatre
泰狄熊拍的照片Theatre of Herodes Atticus
上衛城前最是要經過這古代劇場 Theatre of Herodes Atticus,
建於AD 161 年，1955年才翻修，現在夏天用作戶外音樂會，
物盡其用！能在古遺址內欣賞一場音樂會真的要機緣巧合。
During the Classical period (450-330 B.C.) three important temples were erected on the ruins of earlier ones: the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Nike , dedicated to Athena Parthenos, Athena Polias, and Athena-Apteros Nike, respectively.
The Propylaea, the monumental entrance to the sacred area was also constructed in the same period. The monuments on the Acropolis reflect the successive phases of the city's history. Some of them were converted into Christian churches, houses of the Franks and later on, of the Turks. After the liberation of Athens from the Turks, the protection, restoration and conservation of the monuments was one of the first tasks of the newly-founded Greek state. This major effort is continued until today, with the large-scale restoration and supporting of the monuments, which started in the 1970's and is still in progress. The first excavations on the hill were conducted between 1835 and 1837. More systematic work was carried out in 1885-1890 by Panagiotis Kavvadias.
現代人走路上衛城也感吃力，希臘人怎麼把大石搬運上衛城？
雖然並非原整，像中國的萬里長城，一個歷史記號。
每次站在這裡也會想起英國人的可恥，偷走搶走大部份無價文物！
The Parthenon
The Parthenon. It 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 Virgin), the patron goddess of Athens . It was built between 447 and 438 B.C. and its sculptural decoration was completed in 432 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 (or Ictinus) and Kallikrates (Callicrates) were the architects of the building. The temple is built in the Doric order and almost exclusively of Pentelic marble. It is peripteral, with eight columns on each of the narrow sides and seventeen columns on each of the long ones. The central part of the temple, called the cella, sheltered the famous chryselephantine cult statue of Athena, made by Pheidias.
The rest of sculptural decoration, also by Phidias, were completed by 432 BC. The sculptural decoration of the Parthenon is a unique combination of the Doric metopes and triglyphs on the entablature, and the Ionic frieze on the walls of the cella. The metopes depict the Gigantomachy on the east side, the Amazonomachy on the west, the Centauromachy on the south, and scenes from the Trojan War on the north.
The Parthenon, the Doric temple, the pinnacle of Pericles' building programme, is beyond question the building most closely associated with the city of Athens, a true symbol of ancient Greek culture and its universal values.

The Erechtheion
The Erechtheion is located on the north of the hill of the Acropolis. It is an elaborate building in the Ionic style, constructed between 421 and 405 BC. It has a prostasis on the east side, a monumental propylon on the north, and the famous porch of the Caryatids on the south. The main temple was divided into two sections, dedicated to the worship of the two principal gods of Attica , Athena and Poseidon-Erechtheus. A relief frieze, bearing a representation possibly of the birth of Erechtheus, decorated the exterior of the building.
To the south-west is the famous porch with the Caryatids, of which one is exhibited in the British Museum ; the remaining are on display in the Acropolis Museum . On the monument itself casts replace the originals.
Porch of the Caryatids --最愛這些由石柱改成雕塑
原來的四個在 Acropolis 博物院內保存，不用日曬雨淋！
The Temple of Athena Nike
The Temple of Athena Nike (Featherless Victory) is situated southwest of the Entrance, on a rampart protecting the main entrace of the Acropolis. It was constructed in ca. 420 B.C. by the architect Kallikrates. It is built in the Ionic order, and it is amphiprostyle with a row of four columns in front of each of its narrow sides. The relief frieze on the upper section of the walls depicts the conference of gods on the east side, and scenes from battles on the other three. A marble parapet decorated with the relief representation of Nikae (Victories), protected the edge of the Bastion on which the temple was erected.
The Propylaea. T
The monumental gateway of the Acropolis was designed by the architect Mnesikles and constructed in 437-432 B.C. It comprises a central building and two lateral wings. The colonnades along the west and east sides had a row of Doric columns while two rows of Ionic columns divided the central corridor into three parts. The walls of the north wing were decorated with painted panels or wall paintings and that is why it was called the "Pinakotheke". The ceiling of the Propylaea had coffers with painted decoration and a perforated sima around the roof.
