My class!
On Saturday, I went for a day trip to Delphi with my class. Delphi is the site of the ancient Greek Oracle and a temple complex to Apollos and Dionosis. It’s in the mountains and a three hour coach journey away from Athens. Apart from being a great opportunity to get out of the City and have some fun with class mates, it was fascinating to see what idols looked like in Old Testament times.
I’m currently reading a book about idolatry called Counterfeit Gods and it’s really interesting to compare what I saw in the museum at Delphi with the twenty first century idols of love, power and money.
