2. The Lion of Chaeronea is an ancient marble monument located near the town of Chaeronea in Boeotia, central Greece. It was erected to commemorate the Battle of Chaeronea, which took place in 338 BC between the Macedonian army of Philip II (father of Alexander the Great) and the allied Greek city-states of Athens and Thebes. The monument is a large stone lion, about 3.5 meters tall, symbolizing courage and heroism. It was discovered in pieces in the 19th century and later reconstructed. The Lion is believed to mark the burial site of the Sacred Band of Thebes, an elite military unit of 300 soldiers who fought bravely but were all killed in the battle. Today, the Lion of Chaeronea stands as a symbol of bravery, unity, and sacrifice. It is one of the most important historical monuments of ancient Greece and a moving reminder of the cost of war.

About Athene

Athene zet de Akropolis boven een uitgestrekte moderne hoofdstad, waar antieke ruïnes, steegjes op de heuvel en lange tavernaavonden naast elkaar bestaan.

De Parthenon kroont de Akropolis, geflankeerd door het Erechtheion met zijn portiek van cariatiden, en het Akropolismuseum aan de voet van de heuvel toont beeldhouwwerk dat op de rots is gevonden. Daaromheen maken de Antieke Agora, de Tempel van Olympische Zeus, de Boog van Hadrianus en het marmeren Panathinaiko-stadion de klassieke stad gemakkelijk te belopen.
