Knowing Yourself is the Beginning of all Wisdom

- Quote by Aristotle

 

Began the day trying to remove old photos from my bloated hard-drive. Didn’t get very far into the task before coming upon this shot from a 2009 trip to Greece. Figuring out which images to keep or delete shouldn’t be as difficult as figuring out the meaning of life… but I’m stumped 😊

The Parthenon:

 

The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of classical Greek art, and is considered an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, democracy, and Western civilization.

 

The Parthenon dominates the hill of the Acropolis at Athens. It was built in the mid-5th century. The temple is generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order, the simplest of the three Classical Greek architectural orders.
