EDITORS COMMENTS
Delphi: Portico of the Athenians, Greece, 1906" is an evocative photograph that transports us back in time to ancient Greece, specifically to the revered sanctuary of Delphi. This historic image, captured by an unidentified photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Portico of the Athenians, also known as the Stoa of the Athenians or the Treasurers' Stoa. Delphi, situated in central Greece on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, was renowned as the center of the ancient Greek world. It was believed to be the place where the god Apollo spoke prophecies through the Pythia, the priestess of the temple. The site was also home to the Delphic Oracle, which was considered to be the most important oracle in the ancient world. The Portico of the Athenians, built around 420 BC, is a significant architectural feature of the Delphic sanctuary. It served as a treasury and a gathering place for the Athenians, who were the protectors of the sanctuary. The portico is adorned with Doric columns, a classical architectural style that was popular in ancient Greece. The columns are arranged in a row, creating a covered walkway, which provided shelter from the elements. The photograph captures the portico in a serene setting, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground. The columns, though weathered by time, still stand tall and proud, a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Greece. The image invites us to imagine the bustling activity that once took place here, as pilgrims from all corners of the ancient world came to seek the wisdom of the Delphic Oracle and pay their respects to the gods. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical record, offering us a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring legacy of ancient Greece.
