Καρυάτιδες


Γεια σας! Here is a great video and information about Καρυάτιδες!
A caryatid (plural: Καρυάτιδες) is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on her head.
The best-known and most-copied examples are those of the six figures of the Caryatid Porch of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis in Athens.
One of those original six figures, removed by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century, is now in the British Museum in London.

Delphi (Greek: Δελφοί)


Delphi (Greek: Δελφοί)
is famous as the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of the oracle that was consulted on important decisions throughout the ancient classical world.

It is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a phenomenal influence in the Ancient world, as evidenced by the rich monuments built there by most of the important ancient Greek city-states, demonstrating their fundamental Hellenic unity.

The Greek alphabet


The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the late 9th century BC or early 8th century BC.

It was derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet, and was the first alphabetic script to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. It is the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

Apart from its use in writing the Greek language, in both its ancient and its modern forms, the Greek alphabet today also serves as a source of technical symbols and labels in many domains of mathematics, science and other fields.
