History time! :P I just wish these Greece postcards in my hands had already written on them a detailed yet summarized description behind these ancient temples so I don’t need to do further lookup on Wikipedia. But still, I am doing this.. coz I don’t have any information on the cards.. and historical stuff seem to be meaningless without details like dates, legendary stories and blablabla. So please bear with me as much as I bear with these readings okay.
From Marina.. or I can’t actually remember her name but this postcard was from before Postcrossing time, I was doing some souvenir+CD exchange with a Greek girl and she included some unwritten postcards (hence my ignorance about what and where this is before I look up on internet). So these architectural ruins belong to the Temple of Athena Pronaea in Delphi. Delphi is an archaeological site where once was an important site for the worship for the Greek god Apollo and it has been occupied since the Neolithic Period (5000-3000 BC)! This Athena Pronaea was built in dedication to goddess Athena in around 400 BC. On a side note, the archaeological site of Delphi was listed as Unesco World Heritage in 1987.
From Iinaj, she was in Greece for holiday. “Yassas!” is Hello in Greek. Though this structure look similar as Athena’s, they are actually located in another temple away in the Greek island of Aegina. It was built in the 500 BC for the worship for goddess Aphaia.
