Erechtheion, the iconic temple in Athens (Greece) dedicated to the goddess Athena, is thousands of years old and still breathtaking. I had always wanted to see the wonders of ancient Greece, and finally, in April 2023, I got the chance. I visited the Acropolis late afternoon when I knew the sun would bathe the site. I was not disappointed; the Acropolis was glowing where the sun hit it, and the Erechteion seemed dipped in gold. The passing clouds added interest to the sky and played with the light.

Spain and Portugal were transition points for the Celts, who shared beliefs and traditions -include the Beltane feast- practiced by other cultures, which Roman, and Greek, architecture associated with Christianity have preserved in the architecture of churches and temples. Among these are the Caryatids, the Line of maidens, who function as pillars of the temple of Artemis, Erechteion, who symbolize the continuity of culture and blood through their procession, which we still find in the Lucia tradition, choir practices and so on. All these traditions are interrelated, and it’s the legacy of these enetimes histories she preserves by carrying them as lessons in her practices being reconveyed in practice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmL7N0wNb-P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

send me a 🌻

Caryatids are sculpetd women that act as columns. The most well known are the ones on the side of the Erechteion on Athens's Acropolis BUT there are other examples like the ones found in Argentina's National Congress's building :)

Ἄειδε μοῦσά μοι φίλη, μολπῆς δ’ ἐμῆς κατάρχου·

sing to me kind Muse, and begin my song

αὔρη δὲ σῶν ἀπ’ ἀλσέων ἐμὰς φρένας δονείτω.

send a breeze from your groves and steer my mind.

I❤️🇬🇷 repost @antiqua_archeologia ・・・ 🇮🇹 Eretteo, Acropoli di Atene. Come si evince dalle parole di Vitruvio, col nome di Cariatidi si fa riferimento ad elementi architettonici che rappresentano sculture di donne, vestite con delle lunghe tuniche, impiegate come colonne al fine di sostenere architravi, mensole o altre parti di un edificio. Si tratta di antropomorfizzazione delle forme architettoniche. La loro è una funzione attiva e non passiva, portante e non decorativa, in quanto sostituiscono con il loro corpo il ruolo di colonne o parastre. Uno dei più grandi esempi dove poter studiare e ammirare le Cariatidi è l’Eretteo, un tempio situato sull’Acropoli di Atene. L' Eretteo è composto di un corpo centrale al quale si affiancano due minori autonomi, la parte forse più affascinante è costituita dalla loggetta delle Cariatidi situata ad un’estremità del fianco meridionale del tempio. 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹🔸🔹 🇬🇧 Erechtheion, Acropolis of Athens. As can be seen from the words of Vitruvius, with the name of Caryatids we refer to the architectural elements that represent sculptures of women, dressed in long tunics, used as columns in order to support architraves, shelves or other parts of a building. It is therefore an anthropomorphization of architectural figures. The function of Caryatids is active and not passive (a supporting and not decorative function), as they replace with their body the role of columns or leaves. One of the greatest examples to study and admire the Caryatids is the Erechtheum, a temple located on the Acropolis of Athens. The Erechtheum is composed of a central body which is flanked by two independent minors, the most fascinating part is the "loggia of the Caryatids" located at one end of the southern side of the temple. 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 📸 Photo by @dimitris_adrikop 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹 #grecia #greece #atene #athens #loggiadellecariatidi #ancientgreece #erechteion #eretteo #caryatids #cariatidi #archeo #acropoli #acropolis #travelling #architecture #ancientarchitecture #architecturelovers #ancientart #antiqua_archeologia #archeologia #archeology #ig_greece #ig_athens #ig_ https://www.instagram.com/p/B61H8Edg8b_/?igshid=eyb3ik8b2d64
