“What do you know about Odeon?” asks Nicole. The two of them are seated together in the highest row of the amphitheatre. Even if he’s still young, he doesn’t have that childish aura around him like many boys his age do. “In fact, I invited Seiya too… but he told me he’d die of sheer boredom.” “Taking one as him to see a classic play in a theatre would be like throwing a ticket out of the window.” Shun smiles and his young face shines in the light the stones reflect. With his brown hair and calm look, he is the kind of person easily marked as an ‘intellectual’. He’s a pleasant, elegant man, though his black clothes seem a bit too hot to be worn on Aegean Sea during summer. “It’s always nice to go to the theatre.” Nicole is seated next to Shun. “Mister Nicole, thank you for having accompanied me…” “It’s nothing,” answers Nicole smiling. Intense golden lights are lit in Acropolis, illuminating the pillars of the Parthenon, the bar-reliefs and all the details that time had altered. At this time of year it begins getting dark around eight o’clock, when an indigo tone starts spilling out slowly over the city. He commented quietly, turning to contemplate the Acropolis. “It’s not as cold as before, don’t you think?” Shun’s hair swirled in the wind like fine strands of flax under the open sky in the amphitheatre. Though its splendour faded with the passage of time and the erosion, the temple still continues to be admired and acknowledged as one of the greatest of the world’s heritages.
The Acropolis or ‘a high city’ rises 70 meters over the capital of Greece. In her honour Athenians constructed an enormous temple of marble, originally painted in vivid colours, on a 800 meters wide rock. The people choose Athena after she had made an olive grow on bare rock. ORESTES A Greek legend says that in one famous acropolis there was once a conflict between the goddess Athena and Poseidon, the god of the seas, over who will claim possession of the land Attica.
