The eighth day of the lunar new year.
After spending the first week of the new year with Xiao Shu at home, Li futu is ready to fulfill his promise and take he Caiwei on the flight abroad.
However, their first destination was Greece, the birthplace of Western civilization.
This place was selected by he Caiwei. As a child, she saw a TV play, and the story was all about the Aegean Sea. So she always wanted to go to the Aegean Sea, which is located on the east coast of the Greek peninsula.
After more than ten hours of flight, the two landed in Athens, the capital of Greece.
With a box of luggage came to the hotel, Li futu did not avoid anything, only a room.
Originally, he planned to let he Caiwei have a rest. After all, it was very hard to fly for more than ten hours. However, he Caiwei's spirit was very good. Maybe it was her first time to go abroad, and she came to such a romantic and classical country, so she was very excited.
Li futu didn't force her to stay in the hotel.
There may not be as many people in Greece as there is a city in the East China Sea, but this country has a very high status in the West. It is known as the birthplace of European philosophy, which has had a significant impact on Europe and the world culture, and has given birth to a large number of famous historical figures such as Socrates and Plato. It can be said that democracy advocated by the West originated here .
Athens, as the capital of Greece, has a history of more than 3000 years, and still retains many historical sites and a large number of works of art. Walking on the streets of Athens, looking at the buildings with completely different styles from those in China, he Caiwei's smile never stops.
"It turns out that this is Greece where so many myths and legends were born."
"As a matter of fact, if you learn architecture, you should come to other countries to have a look at their buildings. Although you can find pictures on the Internet, there is still a huge difference between that feeling and witnessing."
It's dusk.
There are a lot of Greeks on the street.
Li futu and he Caiwei with black hair and black eyes are very eye-catching.
But the people of Greece are very friendly. When they look at them, they will nod and smile.
Li futu and he Caiwei will also respond with a smile.
When you come to Athens, you can't miss the Acropolis, which is listed as one of the new seven wonders of the world.
Without a guide, they rented a sightseeing bus and came to the most outstanding ancient buildings in Greece.
"You have to take a closer look. Even if the whole world can't find a few such great places, it can definitely inspire your architectural inspiration."
Standing in front of Zeus temple, Li futu felt something.
The Acropolis of Athens was built in the 5th century B.C., integrating ancient Greek architecture and sculpture. The main existing buildings in Athens are the mountain gate, Parthenon, irichtione and erechtione These ancient buildings can undoubtedly be regarded as human heritage and architectural works, which play an important role in the history of architecture. It can be said that it is a blessing for all mankind that they can be preserved up to now, especially for he Caiwei, who studies architecture.
as the God of the gods in Greek mythology, Zeus' temple is located in the southeast of the Acropolis, on the Bank of the river irisos In the middle of the vast flat land, the place is full of yellow hills.
On the left, there are the Dorian Parthenon, the marble building door, the temple of propria, and the temple of elektai
Walking in the Acropolis of Athens, Li futu introduces why Cai Wei, as if he had lived in Athens for many years.
"How can you be so clear about the origins of these temples?"
He Caiwei was surprised.
"I know everything."
Li futu said with a smile: "there is a saying that I am the one who knows astronomy and geography, who knows how to have children."
He Caiwei gave him a white look.
"Hooligans!"
Li futu has a bright smile.
Walking, two people unconsciously came to a pile of ruins.
After a long time, other temples have been damaged to a certain extent, but they are still intact, but only here has become a ruin.
He Caiwei can't help but stop.
Li futu said softly, "this is the temple of Apollo."
He Caiwei looks back.
"But why is it the only one here that's completely destroyed?"
"Because there was a war of gods here."
Li futu stands in front of a debris wall and turns to he Caiwei. As a result, he Caiwei can't see his face clearly.
"The battle of the gods?"
He Caiwei's eyes were puzzled, and her eyelashes vibrated gently.
"God also has desire. Apollo, the sun god, is one of the distinctive representatives. Greece is too small. After he became a God, he felt that Greece was not enough to accommodate him, so he chose to deviate from his belief and his country, so he naturally did not have the qualification to enjoy the worship of the Greek people. "He Caiwei said, "is there such a saying in Greek mythology?"
Li futu turned his head and looked normal.
"No? That's probably because we've seen different versions. "
He laughed. "Let's go."
He Caiwei frowned at him and thought he was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.
Passing through the completely destroyed Temple of Apollo, and further forward, we come to the center of the Acropolis of Athens.
Here stands a tall stone statue made of pontellick marble. Standing in the highest place of Athens, she has long hair and deep eyes, overlooking the whole city.
"Do you know who she is?"
The statue is very tall, about 13 meters, which is equivalent to a four story modern building. Behind the statue is a sacred cloth curtain looted from the temple of Jerusalem.
In order to make the statue's face more beautiful and bright, a large and shallow olive oil pool with black marble was built in front of the statue. Olive oil was used to reflect the light. Even at dusk, the face of the statue was full of holiness The glory of the world.
Standing at the foot of the statue, Li futu looked up slightly to see her face.
This gesture makes him look up to each other.
He felt his nose.
"I know."
He Caiwei didn't have any discomfort. She looked up at each other's demeanor.
"She's Athena, the patron saint of Athens."
Athena。
A God in ancient Greek mythology.
Known as the goddess of wisdom.
It is also the patron saint of Athens.
In the Dragon Kingdom, everyone calls it Athena.
"Then you don't know that she destroyed the temple of Apollo."
Li Fu's mouth is full of fun.
All he said was not a myth.
He was present at the battle of the gods in Athens.
He had just come to watch the war, but he didn't expect that the war would be his The battle of the gods.
