๐ฌ๐ท Athens Academy - One of the Neoclassical Trilogy ๐๏ธโจ
The Athens Academy, construction of which began in 1859, was designed by a Danish architect. It is characterized by its white marble columns and Ionic ๐colonnades. At the center of the faรงade, a statue of Zeus flanked by reliefs of other deities perfectly blends mythology with rationality. As Greece's highest scientific institution, it forms the "Neoclassical Trilogy" alongside the University of Athens and the National Library. It is not only a landmark but also a tribute by modern Athens to classical civilization.๐ In this land of myths, the light of human rationality has shone for millennia. "Love of wisdom" and "love of truth" are embodied in this divine-human family portrait. ๐ The best time to visit is in the evening when the golden sunlight bathes the centuries-old marble. Locking eyes with the statues of Socrates and Plato feels like a soul-stirring journey through time, while Athena and Apollo watch over humanity from above. These two perfect deities jointly guard love and wisdom, reminding us why Greece is truly the origin of Europe. Its ancient cultural remains awe-inspiring even after thousands of years. #AthensGreece #AthensArchitecture #OneDayInAthens #GreekTravel ๐๏ธ๐๐ฌ๐ท
