EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ruins of Apollonia, an ancient Greek city in the coastal region of Fier, Albania. Dedicated to the god Apollo, the site is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural history that once thrived in this part of Eastern Europe. Apollonia was founded in the 6th century BC and was an important center of Greek civilization, with a thriving port and a population that included both Greeks and native Illyrians. The city was named after Apollo, the god of light, music, and prophecy, and was believed to be protected by him. The ruins in the photograph include a distinctive pillar, which once stood as a memorial or monument to the god. The pillar, now weathered and worn, still bears the marks of the intricate carvings that adorned it in ancient times. The pillar, along with other remnants of the city, provide a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the beliefs, values, and artistic traditions of the ancient Greeks who once called Apollonia home. Despite the passage of time and the ravages of the elements, the ruins of Apollonia continue to captivate visitors with their historical and cultural significance. They serve as a reminder of the enduring power of mythology and the importance of preserving the past for future generations to explore and learn from.
