We didn't take a while to sit on the flying saucer to the ancient Greek capital Athens, the speed of the flying saucer is indeed galloping, there is obvious to all, except for the occasional shaking is not very stable, it is really a particularly commendable means of transportation, but unfortunately there is no such advanced means of transportation in modern society, if we are lucky to return to the modern society, we must hand over the sketch drawn by Wang Dalong's predecessors to the scientific research institute, so that one day we can enjoy this advanced science and technology in the modern society, we can't wait to go out, busy and deeply inhale the warm sea breeze with moisture blowing from the Mediterranean, I feel really relaxed, very comfortable, like a spring breeze. These ancient people are more excited than me and Xiaofei, chattering non-stop, looking forward to the bright look, a heart blooming, eyebrows fluttering, completely a look that has not seen the market into the Grand View Garden of Grandma Liu's ignorant look, but also really pity these ancient people at the bottom of the well, it is rare to go abroad once in a lifetime, limited knowledge, naturally showed unprecedented excitement and happiness, it really opened their eyes, it turned out that on the other side of the world, there is such an unparalleled building, although we are a little excited, but in the modern society pictures to see more, but also have a pre-expected, so there is no such dumbfounded and dumbfounded feeling as those ancient people.

The glory belongs to Greece, the glory belongs to Rome, it is really good, this Acropolis is really beautiful, all the buildings of the Middle Ages are lined up one after another, and the Acropolis is still a ruin, but it still looks much newer than the modern society, all of which are pleasing to the eye of white marble, reflecting the blue sky and the blue Mediterranean Sea not far away, this Acropolis is like a beautiful sparkling white pearl, inlaid in it. The Acropolis of Athens had the function of a refuge for the wartime citizens of the ancient Greek city, and was a hill city guarded by a strong protective wall, surrounded by strong walls. The natural mountain mass made it possible to climb the Acropolis only from the west side. The eastern, southern, and northern sides of the highlands are steep cliffs. The front gate, the mountain gate, the temple of Athena's goddess of victory, the temple of Artemis and other buildings in the Acropolis are all left in ruins. The Acropolis is one of the most outstanding ancient buildings in Greece, a comprehensive public building that was the center of religion and politics. The Acropolis covers an area of about 4 km² and is located on the hill of the Acropolis in the center of Athens and was founded in 580 BC. The Acropolis, also known as Athenian Akropolis, is Greek for Akropolis, meaning a city on a high place or a city-state on a high hill. Why did the Athenians whimsically build the Acropolis for the purpose of first, to praise Athens, to commemorate the great victory of the war against aggression and to show off its supremacy. secondly, to make the Acropolis the most important shrine, religious and cultural center in all of Greece, to attract people from all over the world to prosper Athens, third, to provide employment opportunities for freeman craftsmen from all walks of life, and to limit the number of slaves to 25% of the total number of workers, and fourth, to thank the patron goddess Athena for blessing Athens in the glorious victory of the bitter war against the Persian invasion. In this case, the motivation of the freelance craftsmen is high. The ancient Roman historian Plutarch wrote of the construction of the Acropolis, saying that the building was majestic, magnificent, and beautiful, unparalleled, because the craftsmen did their best and competed with each other, and were not to be left behind. The Athenian complex reached the highest level of ancient Greek architecture, temples, columns, and carvings. It was on the Acropolis that a large number of wise ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle wrote books and taught and educated people, Aeschylus, Aristophanes and other witty drama masters staged their immortal tragedies and comedies, Pericles and other strategic and far-sighted politicians made magnificent statements, and Phidias, Ixtinos and Calycrates and other talented artists and architects fully displayed their ingenious skills and left their masterpieces for posterity. Today, the Acropolis is the oldest and best-preserved remnant of classical civilization in Europe and is considered one of the birthplaces of European civilization. As a symbol of ancient Greek civilization, not only the Greek people cherished this holy place.

Xiao Fei was full of interest and said in a beaming voice, "Do you know why this city is called Athens? In fact, if you have read Greek mythological stories, you will think that it is very simple, the name of Athens comes from the name of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. In ancient Greek mythology, people built a new city on the Aegean Sea, Athena wanted to become the protector of the city, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, also wanted to get the ownership of the new city. Later, the god-king Zeus ruled that whoever could give mankind the most useful thing should belong to whomever the city belongs. Poseidon, the god of the sea, knocked on the rock with his trident, and from it ran out a war horse that symbolized war. Athena, on the other hand, struck the rock with her spear, and immediately and quickly grew an olive tree with lush foliage and fruit. The olive tree symbolizes peace and a good harvest, and the people cheered. The people longed for peace, not war, and as a result, the city went to the goddess Athena. From then on, she became the patron saint of Athens, from which Athens got its name. Later, Athens was regarded as a peace-loving city. Thus, Athena became the protector of the new city. The city was named Athens after her. and planted olive trees all over Athens. Originally, the Acropolis was a fortress to protect against foreign invasions, and the top of the hill was surrounded by a wall, and the ruins of the ancient city were on the south side of the Acropolis hill. The earliest buildings in the Acropolis were the Temple of Athena and other religious buildings. According to ancient Greek mythology, Athena was born in the forehead of her heavenly father Zeus, who taught humans the crafts of weaving, tailoring, carving, making pottery and painting, and was the goddess of war, wisdom, civilization and craftsmanship, and later became the protector of the city. In the city-state wars of the heroic age of ancient Greece, she was the spiritual force of the Greek army to move forward bravely and achieve victory. At the same time, it is also a symbol of the prosperity and strength of the city-state. As a result, the Acropolis, which served as a military fortress, became a sacred place for religious worship, and the city of Athens got its name from it. During the Greco-Persian Wars, Athens was captured by the Persian army, and in 480 BC, the Acropolis was completely destroyed by the enemy. In the middle of the 5th century BC, in the Greco-Persian Wars, the Greeks defeated the Persian invasion with high heroism, and after the war, large-scale construction was carried out, and the types of cities were much richer, and public buildings such as senates, council chambers, theaters, clubs, galleries, hotels, shopping malls, workshops, ship docks, and stadiums were built. And the focus of construction is on the Acropolis. After the Greco-Persian Wars, the Athenians spent 40 years rebuilding the Acropolis, rebuilding the entire Acropolis in white marble. “

Hu Jiaojiao suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder it is so good-looking, unique, different, pleasing to the eye, I like this kind of white the most, just like the white porcelain of our Great Song Dynasty, it is very in line with the concise and neat aesthetics of our Great Song people, it looks really pure and elegant." “

The Acropolis is so beautiful that we say goodbye to the clutter and other distractions, and everyone looks slowly and unrestrained. Like everyone else, I could not help but quietly begin to admire the Acropolis built on a steep hill, with only one passage spiraling up to the west. The buildings are distributed on a natural platform of about 280×130 meters on the top of the mountain. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, high and low, staggered, unique, and integrated with the surrounding scenery. If the Acropolis is regarded as a whole, then the hill itself is its natural base, and the structure of the complex and the arrangement of many parts are in harmony with the natural ups and downs and unevenness of the base. It is considered to be the perfect embodiment of the spiritual and aesthetic ideals of the Greek nation. Among the majestic buildings of the Acropolis, the famous ones include the Mountain Gate, the Parthenon, the Temple of Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena. From a distance, this historic ancient city exudes a solemn and elegant atmosphere, which makes people's hearts pound and intoxicated. There are a collection of temples such as the Temple of Athena, the Temple of Erician, etc., maintaining a strong religious atmosphere and classical charm, especially the Temple of Athena, which is a model building of the Acropolis, and is listed as one of the world-famous seven wonders of ancient times.

If the Acropolis is a leaf, then the entrance to the Acropolis is the petiole. We walked into the entrance unhurriedly, and the first building complex we faced was the mountain gate. It was built in 437~431 BC and designed by Nissicles. It is a magnificent white marble building with a wide portico in the middle and colonnades on both sides, and the holy way to the Acropolis begins. The two wings of the portico are asymmetrical, the north wing used to be a gallery of paintings, and the south wing is a loggia, with Doric and O'Ainian columns skillfully interspersed and juxtaposed, which is majestic. It makes people have endless aftertaste, and the subtleties see the spirit, and this mountain gate is also particularly unique and unique. Then there is the front gate of the Acropolis, built in the 5th century AD, which leads to the temple of the Acropolis, which is divided into three parts: from left to right: the north wing, the central building, and the south wing. The central building has six thick Dorian columns, five entrances, and three Ionic columns on each side of the entrance. The outer Dorian columns evoke a sense of majesty, while the inner Ionian style is elegant and charming. The north wing of the building is relatively well preserved, and the walls of the rooms have colorful paintings by the famous ancient painter Horikletus. At first glance, the south wing appears to be paired with the north wing, but it is actually a colonnaded building and is relatively small. Artemis is the goddess of the moon and the hunt in Greek mythology, and this was originally the place where the goddess Artemis was enshrined, and there are also the remains of a square earthen platform on the left. The Temple of Artemis, located on the north side of the Temple of Athena's Temple of Victory, was a storage place for weapons and bronze, with a staircase leading to the balcony in front of the Parthenon, where the sacrifices were placed.

The main building of the Acropolis is naturally the Parthenon, which stands south of the Old Athenaeum, designed by the famous architects of the time, Iktinos and Caliclate, under the auspices of the consul Pericles, and took 9 years to complete in 438 BC. The building complex is free and unrestrained, high and low, with clear priorities and ingenuity. Whether we are in the middle of it or looking up from the city, we can see it clearly, and we can see these three-dimensional and rich architectural art images inch by inch. The Parthenon is located at the highest point of the Acropolis, with the largest volume and solemn shape, while the other buildings are in a foil position. The southern slope of the Acropolis was a center of mass activity for civilians, with an amphitheater and a promenade. The Acropolis is hailed in the history of Western architecture as an extremely successful example of the art of assemblage of architectural groups, especially in the skillful use of topography. The Parsenon also has its own unique architectural aesthetics, with the foundations and eaves at the east and west ends curved to create a more visually magnificent and tall effect. In addition, the 4 corner pillars are slightly thicker than the other stone pillars to correct the illusion that people observe from a distance. A large number of various marble carvings with mythological and religious themes in the temple have become an inseparable part of its art as a whole, we are attentive to look at these lifelike, vivid carvings, and suddenly understand many ancient Greek stories, although after thousands of years of wind and rain washing, this white limestone built of magnificent temple, in the blue sky and bright sun, beautiful.

Through Xiao Feiyang's sprinkling explanation, we learned that the temple is a rectangular peri-pillar building, built on a three-story stepped base 50 cm high and 70 cm wide, with a length of about 70 meters from east to west, a width of less than 31 meters from north to south, and an original height of more than 13 meters. The temple is supported by 48 Doric marble columns with semicircular grooves and tapered capitals, with a diameter of 1.9 meters and a height of more than 10 meters. The 3-storey colonnade is supported by a marble striped stone forehead eaves, consisting of stone slabs with vertical bars and stone slabs with reliefs. On the eaves at the east and west ends are triangular mountain flowers decorated with high reliefs. The appearance of the temple is coordinated and magnificent, giving people a sense of stability, solidity, elegance and solemnity. Through two colonnades, one enters the temple hall of the hundred steps, where the 12.8-meter-tall statue of Athena was built in the temple by the famous sculptor Phidias in the same year.

Athena was very beautiful and heroic, she was fully armed, her headband was decorated with the helmet of the chariot eagle, and she held the imperial shield in her left hand and the goddess of victory in her right hand. The entire body is covered in gold sheets, the face, arms and toes are decorated with ivory, and the eyes are set with gemstones. In order to facilitate the transfer and transportation in case of emergency, the main body of the idol is made of incense wood. She is the work of Phidias, a representative of the golden age of ancient Greek sculpture. In modern society, the original statue of the god no longer exists, but now it is still there, it is really lucky, this rare and rare work in the world is as beautiful as the Venus with a broken arm, exuding an eternal and lasting charm, so that our eyes can not leave for a long time, but unfortunately the space of the flying saucer is really limited, otherwise I really want to go to great lengths to transport this precious priceless treasure back to the Great Song Dynasty.

The temple of Erechseon is another pearl in the Acropolis complex, the temple is architecturally complex and the architectural details are exquisitely perfect, it is breathtaking, especially different is its female statue colonnade and window, which is rare in classical architecture, according to records, the temple was built in 421~405 BC to commemorate the son of Athena, King Erecias. It is built on a hillside and is located on three floors of different heights, with an irregular combination of rectangular plans, similar to the famous Minoan labyrinth on the island of Crete. The colonnade of the female statue is in the northern part of the temple, there are 6 statues, each 2.3 meters high, plump and dignified, facing north, with a flat marble lace eaves and ceiling overhead. The carvings are lifelike and the costumes are realistic. They are like divine goddesses, silently watching the changes of life and the vicissitudes of the sea over thousands of years. The north and south walls of the main temple have windows that correspond to the rectangular ashlar walls. The Temple of Erechseion is another masterpiece of ancient Greek architecture.

The ancient Athenian people also built the Agram Square, the Great Hall, the Hippodrome and the Dionysus Theater on the northwest side of the Acropolis, as well as the Atticus Concert Hall, located on the south side of the Acropolis entrance, was built in the Roman era, is an outdoor theater that can accommodate more than 6,000 people, the three-story building structure of the concert hall, the semi-circular theater diameter of 38 meters, at any point can clearly hear the lines of the actors on the stage and the performance of the music seats. The Theater of Dionysus has 18,000 seats and can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, Xiao Fei gushed to tell us that the wonder of this theater is also its acoustics, no matter how far away you can hear the sound on the stage, quicksand for seeing is believing, involuntarily perform on it, we are standing on the edge of the huge amphitheater, we can still clearly hear the sound of Xiao Fei's slight sigh and gently moving footsteps on the stage, even beyond many of the proud buildings of our modern society, those ancient Greek architects in the use of acoustic principles in architecture skills make us feel amazed。
