We have arrived in Delphi and whats next on the list is the Delphi Archaeological Museum as well as the Ancient city of Delphi. The museum was cool, a little short but cool. I guess it was designed to let us know what the archaeologist found in the actual city. I would have to say that the city was more interesting because this is the first time we get to see architecture dedicated to the Gods. In Rome, it wasn’t as apparent and thats where Italy and Greece differ. First we were shown the Delphi Theatre which was interesting for me because when I take Theatre History next semester, maybe the professor will talk about this particular theatre. Next we saw the Temple of Apollo. The columns were still extant, but I’m not so sure if there was supposed to be a rooftop on the structure. If not, I assume the Greeks wanted to honor the fact that Apollo was the Sun God. If that was a bad joke I won’t write any more. If I fail, I’ll know why. Hopefully when we move on to Athens, I won’t need to fill in the blanks with jokes.
