The small island of Delos is one of the most important archeological sites in all of Greece. We saw kinds of artifacts from the Greeks.Sections from various columns have been collected and work is being done to better understand the findings.These lionesses are some of the most well-known sculptures in Delos.I thought this lioness was impressive!Stray cats seem to be everywhere in Greece. This group of cats in Delos seemed content to watch all the people walk by.This sculpture of a left hand is important and our group leader requested a photo to document it. It is stored at the museum on Delos. The right hand is currently stored at another museum.This foot is also on display in the Delos museum.The Delos museum contained a number of sculptures.I thought some of the sculptures were particularly impressive!As we were walking through the Delos ruins, this friendly lizard stopped by to say hello!Within a few feet of the previous lizard, this guy was running around. I have never seen a lizard with such a colorful design on its back!The remanent of the “stucco” colors shows that the buildings created in Delos were not drab colors. Different reds and yellows that these buildings were quite colorful.These two enclosed “windows” are where lighted candles would be placed to light up a room. Remnants of the wall coloring can also be seen.I thought this mosaic was especially impressive!! The detail was amazing!I was also quite amazed at the intricacy with this mosaic!
