Yep - we're still at it ! Although I have to say that after this visit to Dion, we are now archaeologically sited out!!! One can only absorb so many ancient ruins.

So, a little bit of history about Dion. It is located at the foot of Mount Olympus. It is best known for its great ancient Macedonian sanctuary of Zeus and the ancient city which is now an archaeological park.

Our heroes, Philip II and Alexander the Great celebrated victories here, and Alexander assembled his armies and performed magnificent sacrifices here on the eve of his campaign to Asia in 334 BC.

Dion is the site of a large temple dedicated to Zeus, as well as a series of temples to Demeter and to Isis ( the Egyptian goddess was a favourite of Alexander).

Excavation of the House of Dionysus revealed beautifully preserved mosaic floors.

Muse for this post: history is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you , even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It is not your to erase, it belongs to all of us.
