Revisiting: Delphi

I’m looking forward to visiting Delphi again in about 3 weeks. It made me go back and look at some pictures from about four years ago. This picture shows part of the frieze of the Treasury of the Siphnians at Delphi, from about the 6th century BCE. It depicts the battle between the Giants and the Olympian gods. I love the lion on the far left, sinking its teeth into the side of a warrior. So much action and movement in a still image.
