Through Olympia to The Temple of Apollo Epicurius!

Down to the south , up in the mountains , to the temple that looks in the north. This is in few words, one more trip , that as usual we we are taking around this time of the year together with other European comrades that visiting Hellas for the annual Golden Dawn`s IMIA march.

First visit was OLYMPIA. It seems like yesterday , yet it was 2009 since my last visit at this place.

Impossible to get tired by this excellent location. Here are some pics from the previous visit:

 Through Mainalon to Olympia! Part I

Through Mainalon to Olympia! Part II

Late in the afternoon , we took the road up to the mountains to visit the Temple of Appolo. One of the most famous and important temples of the Ancient Hellenic world.

In 2009, we had not the time for this pilgrimage as it was getting dark, and the temple doors closed for the public. This time, we managed to arrive just in time (10 min) before closing.

Here are some photos from the Temple and the area around:

CARL ROTTMANN (1797-1850) - Cycle of Greek Landscapes

"Between 1838 and 1850 Carl Rottmann (1797-1850) was commissioned by King Ludwig I. of Bavaria to paint 23 scenes of Greek landscapes. The monumental paintings were created on large, transportable plaster boards each weighing 400 kilos. Presenting a sequence of pictures circling from Athens via Sparta to Olympia, the landscape portraits depict the most important sites of Ancient Greece.

However, Rottmann did not reconstruct an idyllic Arcadia, nor did he idealise the ancient places made famous in myths and history. Instead, he chose to portray them as he had come to know them on his travels in the years 1834/35: partly solitary, partly ravaged landscapes."

Here is some of those paintings:

Corinth with Acrocorinth

Sikyon with Mount Parnassus

AncestralCult

"Ancestral Cult is an organisation created by Varg Vikernes and Marie Cachet, in order to revive the ancient European philosophy and religion. Our aim is to reconstruct the lost European culture, and create the opportunity for Europeans to learn more about their own culture, but also to have access to entertainment related to their morals, their beliefs, and their philosophy."
