  • The broad and twisted trunk of an ancient and glorious Olive tree located in the Ancient Greek city of Teos, Sigacik, Turkey. Olive trees are renowned for their hardiness and are drought-, disease- and fire-resistant. The Ancient Greeks revered the Olive tree and its fruit and smeared olive oil on their bodies and hair as a matter of grooming and good health. Olive oil was used to anoint kings and athletes in ancient Greece. It was burnt in the sacred lamps of temples and was the "eternal flame" of the original Olympic games. Victors in these games were crowned with its leaves.

  • Syracuse. Sicily. Italy. View of the Keep from the Castello di Eurialo, the castle that formed part of the massive Greek defensive installation built to protect Ortygia – ancient Syracuse from invaders.

The fortification ran for a length of 32 kilometres, totally enclosing the city and is considered the most impressive Greek defences to have survived from antiquity. The castle is seven kilometres from the heart of Syracuse.
