3. The history of the Delphic sanctuary, the location of the most well-known ancient Greek oracle, is on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most significant in Greece. The majority of the sanctuary's extensive collections are made up of architectural sculptures, statues, and small items. The well-known Charioteer was part of a complex of statues that featured a chariot pulled by four horses and another male figure. One of the earliest depictions in art of the demonic creature with a lion's body, bird's wings, and a woman's head can be found in the Sphinx of the Naxians, which dates to 560 BC.

About Atene

Atene pone l'Acropoli sopra una capitale moderna ed estesa, dove rovine antiche, vicoli in pendio e lunghe serate in taverna convivono.

Il Partenone corona l'Acropoli, affiancato dall'Eretteo con il suo portico delle cariatidi, e il Museo dell'Acropoli ai piedi della collina espone le sculture trovate sulla rocca. Intorno, l'Agorà antica, il Tempio di Zeus Olimpio, l'Arco di Adriano e lo stadio Panatenaico di marmo rendono facile percorrere a piedi la città classica.
