Under the Gaze of Apollo

Hellenic Architecture

As I delved into the study of the Arches, I initially aimed to simply confirm their existence. However, I never anticipated that my exploration would lead me to delve into the complexities of the Multiplication Table. At first, these structures seemed unrelated, lacking any discernible connection to a specific concept. Yet, as I contemplated the plausible existence of an underground construction dedicated to the Chthonic Deities, a fascinating interplay emerged with the surface constructions honoring the Celestial Gods.

My research also led me to observe the evolution of intricate geometric patterns on maps, which not only guided me to sacred geographical locations and specific designations but also shed light on historical events. However, navigating this system presented challenges, until I reached a breakthrough when I delved into the symbolism of the architectural elements and embraced Pythagorean logic. It felt akin to unraveling a giant crossword puzzle while navigating a maze-like corridor. The expanded symbolism I encountered lies far beyond the scope of modern comprehension, as it exists outside the contemporary points of reference. Pythagoras dedicated countless pages and speeches to exploring the relationship between the Dyad (number two) and the Monad (number one). However, in modern times, we often use these numbers mechanically and without deeper significance. This approach hinders our ability to truly comprehend ancient cultures. As a result, even when we uncover archaeological artifacts, we struggle to gain meaningful insights into the time period in which they were created.

New order of things

The Golden Age of Pericles did not arise without thorough preparation, which spanned a significant period in the temporal rhythms of that era. The decline of a civilization, such as the Minoan civilization, is not always the beginning of a downward spiral. Ancient peoples held a strong belief in the concept of antagonism, and the Orphic number Two (2) was considered a regenerative force, representing the struggle between good and evil. When Alexander the Great vanquished the Persian civilization, he ushered in a new era, known as the Hellenistic Era, while also establishing a dynamic coordinate that revitalized humanity and did not lead to despair.

This demonstrates that destroyed civilizations do not simply vanish; they continue to exist within the new order of things.

Hellenism is a part of humanity's shared heritage and transcends Greek culture.

Under the Gaze of Apollo

In order to truly understand the wisdom of the past, we need to adopt the mindset of ancient civilizations. Embracing numbers and symbols as a new language, we can perceive columns, historic structures, and even nature itself in a symbolic and analogical manner. This perspective reveals life and vitality, as it uncovers the divine essence concealed within them. By doing so, we can transcend into another world, a different dimension where even concepts like "war" hold positive meanings.

In this new thinking approach, a method is developed that involves careful, deliberate, and coordinated initial steps. This approach is also reflected in architecture, such as in the construction of an arched entrance to a stadium, which is covered to represent Chthonic Architecture. Symbolically, this entrance marks the gateway to a battle of the Titans and serves as a peaceful encouragement for the celestial gods' battle for supremacy (Gigantomachy – Titanomachy). In this context, the athlete, or fighter, emerges triumphant through the Gates of Hades after a victory, symbolizing the defeat of death. This is why it is called Κρυπτη (Krypte, Crypt), meaning underground or invisible space.

The adversary is not merely an opponent, but rather a welcomed challenge that must be conquered. Even if you should happen to lose a battle, you emerge as the ultimate victor. For in the realm of Hades, there will come a moment when Dionysus shall arrive to guide your soul to the Elysian Fields in the western reaches, near the Ocean's edge. It is there where the Immortals and the Souls of the Virtuous reside, basking under the radiant gaze of Apollo.
