The Eleusian mysteries, the Sanctuary of Apollo, the Theatre of
Dionysus, the labyrinths of Knossos, the Delphic oracle---the book
leads us to such sacred sites in the ancient way of spiritual
pilgrimage. "The gods have not totally vacated the holy places,"
says Richard Geldard. "Any 'vacating' has to do with our own lack
of awareness." He brings to life the mythology that shaped the
brilliance of Greek architecture and art, integrating rare
historical material with the most recent archeological data. The
result is a specialty guidebook comprehensive enough to be the only
one you pack, with commentary on: Major and lesser sites of the
palace and temple cultures; Greek drama, philosophy, art, and
sculpture; Sacred geometry and architecture; Gallery collections in
three major museums. Whether you're an armchair or actual traveler,
Traveler's Key opens access to the fabled wisdom enjoyed by
pilgrims of old and to the living mythology that still has power to
transform lives.
