Centre of the world

by TheView - last update: May 4, 2006

A very special letter in greek

Telling the story of Zeus dispatching his two eagles to find the navel of the world they meet at a wonderful sigth in the mountains.

Zeus then threw a sacred stone marking the navel of the world. At the socket of the Treasury of the Athenians you can find this special letter like a, O omicron with a extra spot in the middle as a belly button or navel. As telling the whole story in this simple but still powerfull symbol.
I like to suggest if you have the opportunity go to Greece in the springtime befor its getting to hot. Its just so beautiful and green. And enjoy the wonders of the Ancient world. The old Greeks really knew where to built their temples.

 I hadn't heard of this place in Greece, thanks for all your info on Greek mythology to run from those starting blocks must feel like you have the greek gods looking down on you.
