Sep 21, 2024 – Delphi, Greece

Delphi, Ancient ruins of Apollos Temple and the famous place of the Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi priestess. 


  • Word of the day: Tholos. A tholos (pl.: tholoi; from Ancient Greek θόλος, meaning “conical roof”[1] or “dome”), in Latin tholus (pl.: tholi), is a form of building that was widely used in the classical world. It is a round structure with a circular wall and a roof, usually built upon a couple of steps (a podium), and often with a ring of columns supporting a conical or domed roof. (Source: Wikipedia.)

And another one – omphalos, the center or hub of something. A rounded stone (especially that at Delphi) representing the navel of the earth in ancient Greek mythology.

And I’m standing right next to that naval. Seriously.
