Lecture in the amphitheatre at Delos
The members of a tour are dwarfed by the ruins of the seating area in the amphitheatre of the Island of Delos, in the Aegean Sea. Delos was an immensely important religious centre 2500 years ago, and for hundreds of years before and after that time. There was an annual trip by ship from Athens for people who were ritually purified. The Ship probably had white sails as well as oars and was decorated with flowers.
Once a floating island in mythology, it was anchored and became protected by the other islands that now circle it, the Cyclades. Delos was the birthplace of Apollo and his sister Artemis who, being born fully formed, assisted in her brother's birth.
