EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tholos of Athena Pronaia, a truly remarkable monument that stands as a symbol of Delphi's grandeur. Located between the newest temple of Athena and the treasure of Massalioton, this classical masterpiece dominates the sanctuary with its imposing presence. Dating back to 380 BC, this impressive circular building has been associated with chthonic cults in Greek history. However, it is interesting to note that Pausanias, who observed its ruins in the 2nd century AD, did not mention it as a temple. The dome construction was attributed to Theodore from Phocea or Phocis by Vitruvius, an architect who had written extensively on its construction techniques. The vertical composition and vibrant colors captured by Dimitrios Tilis bring out the true essence of this UNESCO World Heritage site. It transports us back in time to ancient Greece, where rich history and cultural traditions flourished. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the significance of Delphi in Greek culture and how it continues to inspire awe even today. This photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with classical Greek architecture and monuments like Tholos. Whether you are an admirer of photography or have a deep appreciation for historical landmarks, this print will undoubtedly make a stunning addition to your collection. Let yourself be transported into the world of Minerva and immerse yourself in the beauty that is ancient Greece through Dimitrios Tilis' lens.
