EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Ethel Davies in 2019, the ancient stone-carved face of Didyma, also known as Didymaion, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. Located in modern-day Turkey, this archaeological site dates back to ancient Greek times and was dedicated primarily to the worship of Apollo. However, other deities were also revered here, making it an important center of religious pilgrimage and cultural exchange. The ruins of Didyma, which can be found in the western part of the country, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. The site is believed to have been established around the 7th century BCE and continued to thrive until the 4th century CE. The impressive temple of Apollo, which is the most well-known structure at the site, was renowned for its oracle, which was considered to be second only to the Delphic oracle in Greece. As Ethel Davies captures the intricate details of the stone-carved face, one can almost hear the whispers of the past echoing through the ruins. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and the profound impact they continue to have on our contemporary world. The juxtaposition of the ancient ruins with the vibrant colors of the modern-day landscape serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the interconnectedness of different eras. Overall, this image offers a captivating and thought-provoking glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Didyma, Turkey.
