Syracuse: Statues and Temples

The Temple of Athena: Cathedral in Syracuse

The Temple of Athena in Syracuse
Is unlike any other you’re likely to peruse
This 500 BC ancient Greek temple
Is now a contemporary cathedral

The mix of ancient and contemporary sites
Bound by ancient pillars of marble
White
Mixes cultures of worship
Of different design
Through being in the same place
Over time
This amazing and mystical ancient space
Where worship transcends
Time and space
A temple with roots in ancient time
Gives a profound sense of being there
In that other time
A heady mix of time and place
Roots you 3000 years deep
In ancient
