EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tholos of Athena Pronaia, a truly iconic monument that stands proudly within the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia in Delphi. The Tholos, dating back to 380 BC, is a remarkable example of classical architecture and holds great significance in Greek history and tradition. Although its purpose remains somewhat mysterious, it has been linked to chthonic cults. Interestingly, renowned traveler Pausanias did not refer to it as a temple when he saw its ruins in the 2nd century A. D. The circular building's construction was overseen by Theodore from Phocea or Phocis, an architect who even authored a book on its construction techniques according to Vitruvius. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of this UNESCO World Heritage site with vibrant colors and horizontal composition. It transports viewers back in time to ancient Greece, where they can immerse themselves in the rich history and culture that surrounds this magnificent structure. Delphi itself is steeped in mythology and historical significance, making it one of Greece's most sought-after travel destinations for those seeking an authentic experience. This photograph by Dimitrios Tilis beautifully encapsulates the essence of this classical Greek monument while paying homage to its architectural brilliance and cultural importance.
