“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.”- Pablo Picasso
“Ο καλλιτέχνης είναι ένα δοχείο για τα συναισθήματα που έρχονται από όλη τη χώρα: από τον ουρανό, από τη γη, από ένα κομμάτι χαρτιού, από ένα περαστικό σχήμα, από ιστό αράχνης.”-Πάμπλο Πικάσο
A beautiful and unforgettable view of the sea from Cape Sounio located southeast of Athens. According to myth, King Aegeus of Athens leapt off the cliffs and to his death in the sea below after wrongfully assumimg that his son was killed by the minotaur on the island of Crete. The Aegean sea was thereafter named in his honour.
There is a lot of graffiti from over a century ago. If you zoom in you at the top you can see Lord Byron’s’ name.
The temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio is a beautiful spot at the southern tip of Attica. It has one the greatest views of the sea I have seen in Greece. It is no wonder then that it was such a significant strategic point for the ancient Athenians who, from this point, could control the sea passage to the Aegean sea and Piraeus and Lavrion Peninsula. Poseidon, the God of the sea, protected the ships in the Mediterranean. Seafarers would come to the temple and make animal sacrifices or give gifts in exchange for a safe sea voyage.
