The
history
of
Athens
is
amazing.The
achievements
of
that
era
incredible!
Υou
will
see
the
Sanctuary
of
Pan
near
to
the
Fountain
of
Pnyx
going
down
the
Apostolou
Pavlou
pedestrian
street,
on
a
very
beautiful
walking
path
from
the
Akropolis
to
Thiseio.
A
rock-cut,
underground
chamber,
accessible
through
a
door-shaped
opening
chiselled
directly
on
the
bedrock,
was
revealed
after
excavations.
On
the
north
wall
is
a
relief,
chiselled
directly
on
the
bedrock,
presenting
Pan,
a
nymph
and
a
dog.
Pan
was
the
god
of
fields,
mountains,
flocks
and
wild
nature
in
general.
It
had
the
head
and
torso
of
a
man,
the
feet
of
a
goat,
horns
and
pointed
ears.
According
to
Greek
mythology
he
was
born
in
the
mountains
of
Arcadia.
His
father
was
Hermes
and
his
mother
was
a
nymph.
When
his
mother
saw
him,
she
was
frightened
by
his
appearance
and
abandoned
him.
Hermes
saw
the
scene,
took
him
in
his
arms
and
took
him
to
Olympus,
where
the
gods
welcomed
him.
The
access
is
not
available
for
the
public,
it
is
visible
from
the
pedestrian
road.
