Philosophy and Religion in Greece

I've just returned from two weeks in Greece. Here are some pictures I took that have philosophical and/or religious relevance.


This is the harbor of Pythagoreio on the island of Samos, birthplace of the philosopher, mathematician, and mystic Pythagoras (best known for the Pythagorean theorem).











And here is a statue of the great man in 'downtown' Pythagoreio.










This is the harbor of Patmos, the island on which John wrote the book of Revelation (or 'Apocalypse' in Greek).











And finally, the Parthenon, the temple of Athena, on the Acropolis in Athens.

The picture of the parthenon is gorgeous with the sun rays coming through!
