Acropolis of Athens and Its Museum [antikvár]

If you wish to know the true nature of the Acropolis you should approach it in the proper frame of mind, shunning the overhasty guided tour and the attendant buzz of the multi-coloured crowd of sightseers. Ignore the spectacle of the modern city sprawling at your feet, but let your gazé wander for a while over the plain, gentle landscape beyond. Alas! it is being remorselessly whittled away by the hungry metropolis. Sink into reverie over the buildings erected by the pious hands of Athenians in honour of their patron goddess somé two and half thousand years ago at the most felicitous point of time in antiquity. A worshipper from our time, you may then be sure that you will penetrate beyond the seeming geometry of straight lines and be captivated by the concealed magic of curves and the odd number.-You will hear the hidden harmonies composed of a myriad deviations and contrasts. You will ultimately reach the moment of initiation into the highest form of composition in which are fused even and odd, straight and curved, material and spiritual...
