A door and a story

Copyright 2011 Jan

I have passed by this old door many times at Plaka. This time I took a moment to actually look at it and the details are awesome.

The door is like an old story book opening on front of your eyes. I give you the the beginning of the story. On the center point you can find the primordial Titan Atlas (Greek: Άτλας) from the Greek mythology holding the celestial spheres. He supports the heavens and is identified with the Atlas Mountain in north-west Africa. 

... and the rest you can find out from the picture or imagine by yourself. Have an interesting day with Greek mythology!
