In addition to the scenery on the Aegean Sea, the most attractive tourist resource in Greece is the Acropolis standing on the hill.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the guests who choose to travel to Greece will go to the Acropolis. After all...just like visiting the Forbidden City and climbing the Great Wall is indispensable when visiting the capital, there is a similar saying in Athens, that is, 'You haven't been to Athens if you haven't been to the Acropolis'.

Therefore, no matter what tourists originally came for, as long as they have enough time, they will inevitably add this item to their itinerary.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as the weather is too bad, or the Acropolis is undergoing maintenance, it is temporarily closed and no tourists are allowed to enter.

As a time traveler, Shi Xiaolei's luck has always been pretty good. During my trip to Athens this time, I didn’t encounter any special conditions that would make people feel disappointed.

After renting a car and hiring a eloquent tour guide, just over an hour later, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain and started walking towards the Acropolis on the top of the mountain.

"The semicircular building on the right is the Atticus Concert Hall. It was built in the Roman era and is an outdoor theater that can accommodate more than 6,000 spectators. Although it has been many years, it has been repaired and maintained. Because of this, the function of this concert hall is still very good, and some performances are still held here until now.”

"The semicircular design is very clever. No matter where they sit, the audience can watch the performance on the stage and hear the performers' voices. Of course, compared with the modern concert hall, it is in a certain location. It still lags behind in some aspects, such as there is no ceiling to protect against wind and rain, the stone seats are not as comfortable as sofas, etc. "

"In short, due to the weather and some other factors, performances held at Atticus Concert Hall are generally scheduled in the summer. Well, I mean the nights after it gets dark. If it is broad daylight, there should not be many The audience is willing to go to the performance in the bright sun. After all, it has no air conditioning to cool down, and the seats will be heated by the sun.”

"Oh, by the way, everyone keep looking forward along the road on the right. About two hundred meters away, there is a building ruins of the same shape. Did you see it? Yes, there is also a theater over there, and its name is The Theater of Dionysus. As an additional introduction, Dionysus is the god of wine in Greek mythology, so the theater is also called the Theater of Dionysus.”

"Some tourists have asked me why the Atticus Music Hall looks quite complete, but the Dionysus Theater not far away looks more dilapidated. Why has it not been restored like the Atticus Music Hall? How about restoring it to its original state like a theater? In fact, the reason is very simple. Just like we did not repair the acropolis on the mountain, but kept it in a semi-destroyed state, it was all to preserve this. It’s a sense of history accumulated over time.”

"Besides, the functions of Atticus Concert Hall and Dionysus Theater are basically the same. It is enough to repair one of them and have one that can be used normally. Haha, just Just like there is no need for two bathrooms in one room, in our opinion, there is no need to restore the Dionysus Theater.”

Before I even entered the mountain gate, I was already talking a lot.

I have to say that the tour guide hired by Shi Xiaolei and his group was quite responsible.

Well, it may also be because Shi Xiaolei paid the deposit in advance and the money was generous, which stimulated the tour guide's enthusiasm for work, so she took the trouble to mention so many details and explained them in such detail.

"I feel like people in ancient Greece liked to watch plays." Through the tour guide's explanation, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but think of the scene of ancient people sitting in the stands watching performances.

Think back to the arena we saw in Asgard and the circular arena on Saka...

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. Unable to hold back, Shi Xiaolei suddenly let out two chuckles.

"Yes." The proud tour guide did not notice the change in Shi Xiaolei's expression and was still explaining excitedly: "Since ancient times, we Greeks have loved art very much. The Atticus Concert Hall was built in 5 BC century, the Dionysus Theater was even earlier. It was built in the 6th century BC. In other words, stage performance art began to appear here more than 2,500 years ago, and it developed to a very popular scale. ”

"I forgot to introduce it just now. Can you guess how many spectators the Dionysus Theater can accommodate? Hehe, more than 17,000 people. You are from the United States. Have you been to the Staples Center in Los Angeles? That one The auditorium in the venue only has 19,000 seats. Compared with the Dionysus Theater built more than 2,500 years ago, it only has 2,000 more seats."

"Oh, by the way, when it comes to Staples Center, I believe everyone will think of the Los Angeles Lakers, who use that venue as their home court, and the scene during a basketball game will come to mind, right?" As he said, While raising her arm and pointing to a building on the mountain, the tour guide naturally led the topic to the next part: "On the jerseys worn by basketball players, you can often see a √-shaped logo. I believe everyone knows it. , that is the trademark of Nike. But what I want to ask is, do you know the meaning of that trademark? Please look over there. That building is called the Temple of Athena Victory. It is dedicated to worship the goddess of victory, Nike. "

"In Greek, the name of the goddess is Νκη, which translated into Latin is Nike. Yes, the name of Nike is derived from the goddess of victory in our Greek mythology. After all, it specializes in the production of equipment for competitive games. Well, it feels quite fitting to give it the meaning of pursuing victory. Let’s go, let me take you to visit the temple dedicated to the goddess of victory, Nikki.”

Shi Xiaolei didn't care about the relationship between Nike and the Goddess of Victory.

After listening to the tour guide's introduction, the first thing that came to his mind was actually a golden scepter.

That's right, it's the scepter of the goddess of victory in the hand of the goddess Athena in "Saint Seiya".

Thinking back to the results created by the scepter in the story...

"Let's go and have a look." Taking a step forward, Shi Xiaolei followed the tour guide enthusiastically towards the steps up the mountain.
