Gerizim honor Menippos, son of Artemidoros, of Herakleion, both himself and his descendants, for constructing and dedicating from his own funds for the synagogue of God the. | | | In 1912, a team under the direction of André Plassart discovered the remains of a synagogue, so identified by votive offerings to "God Most High," a common Jewish epithet for the Divine, as well as an inscription associated with the building that uses the term proseuchê, the most common Greek word for the synagogue. |

| | The Delos synagogue is widely considered the oldest original Jewish house of worship of the Diaspora, or scattering of the Jews. | | | IT'S EASY TO THINK OF THE STORY of Apollo's birth on Delos as a way of explaining how a tiny island, blazing with sunlight, and made of rocks overrun with wildflowers and lots of really intense lizards, became for seven centuries a major cosmopolitan center of worship and trade on the Aegean Sea. | | | "By the 7th century B.C., Delos had become chief religious sanctuary of the Ionians and magnificent religious observations and festivals took place on a regular basis," Vrissimtzis writes. |

| | Delos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The island of Delos (Greek: Δήλος, Dhilos), isolated in the centre of the roughly circular ring of islands called the Cyclades, near Mykonos, had a position as a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. | | | The meeting hall of the Poseidoniasts of Beirut housed an association of merchant, warehousemen, shipowners and innkeepers during the early years of Roman hegemony, late 2nd century BC. | | | Inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC, between 900 BC and AD 100, sacred Delos was a major cult centre, where Dionysus is as much in evidence as Leto, Apollo and Artemis. |

| | Delos can be a religious experience or at least one that provokes thought. | | | Personally I don't think it matters if you know what you are looking at, whether it is a Temple to Apollo or a Stoa to the Naxiotis nor does it matter if you know anything about ancient history or archaeology when you visit Delos. | | | Reason number two is that there were so many photos and so few that I actually knew what I was photographing that it would look kind of silly to have some labeled and others not, so unless it was absolutely necessary I didn't write anything. |
