In addition to the scenery of 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 visit the Acropolis. After all... Just like going to the capital, you must go to the Forbidden City and climb the Great Wall. There is a similar saying in Athens, that is, "If you haven't been to the Acropolis, you haven't been to Athens."

Therefore, no matter what tourists are here for in the first place, as long as they have enough time, they will inevitably add this item to their itinerary.

Unless there are some special circumstances, such as the weather is too bad, or the Acropolis is under maintenance, it is temporarily closed and tourists are not allowed to visit.

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

After renting a car for transportation and hiring a well-spoken tour guide, just over an hour later, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the Acropolis on the top of the mountain.

"The semicircular building on the right is the Atticus Concert Hall. It was built in Roman times and is an outdoor theater that can accommodate more than 6,000 spectators. Although many years have passed, it has been repaired and maintained For the sake of the concert hall, the function of this concert hall is still maintained very well. Until now, some performances are occasionally held here."

"The design of the semicircle is very ingenious. No matter where the audience sits, they can watch the performance on the stage and hear the voice of the performers. Of course, compared with the modern concert hall, it is in a certain place. Some aspects are still lagging behind, for example, there is no canopy to shelter from the wind and rain, and the stone seats are not as comfortable as the sofa, etc. "

"In short, affected by the weather and some other factors, the performances held at the Adicus Concert Hall are generally arranged in summer. Uh, I mean the night after it gets dark. If it is daytime, there should not be many The audience is willing to watch the show under the sun. After all, it is open-air, there is no air conditioner to cool down, and the seats will be scalded by the sun."

"Oh, by the way, everyone, look straight ahead along the road on the right. About two hundred meters away, there is another building site with the same shape. Did you see it? That's right, there is also a theater over there, and its name is The Theater of Dionysus. As an additional introduction, Dionysus is the God of Dionysus in Greek mythology, so that theater is also called the Theater of Dionysus.”

"Some tourists once asked me why the Atticus Concert Hall looked quite complete, but the Dionysus Theater not far away looked dilapidated, and why people didn't restore it, like the Atticus Music Hall. How about restoring it to its original state like the Dionysus Theater? In fact, the reason is very simple, just like we did not restore the Acropolis on the hill, but kept it in a half-destroyed state. The reason why the Theater of Dionysus was kept as it is is to preserve this A sense of historical precipitation accumulated over the years."

"Besides, whether it is the Atticus Concert Hall or the Dionysus Theater, the functions of the two are basically the same. It is enough to repair one of them and have a working one. Hehe, just Just as there is no need for two bathrooms in one room, in our opinion, there is no need to restore the Dionysus Theater."

Before entering the mountain gate, he had already talked a lot.

It has to be said that the tour guide hired by Shi Xiaolei and his party is quite conscientious.

Well, it may also be because Shi Xiaolei paid the deposit in advance, and the money was well paid, which stimulated the enthusiasm of the tour guide, so she took the trouble to mention so many details and explain so meticulously.

"It seems that the people of ancient Xi like to go to the theater." Through the explanation of the tour guide, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help thinking of the picture of the ancients sitting in the stands watching the performance.

】

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

Suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, and Shi Xiaolei couldn't help it, and suddenly let out two chuckles.

"Yes." The proud tour guide didn't notice the change in Shi Xiaolei's expression, and she was still explaining excitedly: "Since ancient times, we Greeks have loved art very much. The Adicus Concert Hall was built in 5 BC Century, the Dionysus Theater was even earlier, it was built in the 6th century BC. That is to say, as early as more than 2,500 years ago, stage performance art began to appear here, and it developed to a popular scale .”

"I forgot to introduce it just now. Can you guess how many audiences 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 audience seats in the venue are only 19,000 seats. Compared with the Dionysus Theater built more than 2,500 years ago, there are only 2,000 more seats."

"Oh, by the way, when it comes to the Staples Center, I believe everyone will think of the Los Angeles Lakers, which is home to that stadium, and the scene of the basketball game will come to mind, right?" While talking, 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 well ~lightnovelpub.net~ That is the trademark of Nike. But what I want to ask is, do you know the meaning of that trademark? Please look there, that building is called the Temple of Athena Victory, it is dedicated to sacrifice Nikki, goddess of victory."

"In Greek, the name of the goddess is n?kη, translated into Latin, it is nike. That's right, the name of Nike is derived from the goddess of victory in our Greek mythology. After all, it is specialized in the production of competitive sports. As for the equipment, it gives meaning to the pursuit of victory, and it feels quite fitting. Let’s go, I’ll take you to visit the temple dedicated to Nikki, the goddess of victory.”

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

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

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

Recalling the battle results created by the scepter in the story...

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