Online Applications
Athena, Goddess of the Acropolis
The online application was created in collaboration with the Acropolis Museum, thanks to the generous funding from the Bodosaki Foundation.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, of culture and the arts was directly connected with the city to which she had given her name. Her presence as a name, as a tradition and as an artistic expression was predominant everywhere, especially in the most important sanctuary of the city, the Acropolis, where the goddess was worshipped in many different forms and capacities.
The purpose of the on-line application is to familiarise the user with the various natures of the divinity. By means of a virtual tour of the Acropolis Museum, the user, following a beam of light, looks for and observes the exhibits of the goddess Athena that have been chosen. For each of these exhibits the user can read a brief description, a relevant myth, information about the cult of Athena as well as the relevant ancient texts of Pausanias. In addition it is possible to see the exhibit from close-up and some of them all around, virtually restored.

The Parthenon Frieze
The online application of the Parthenon Frieze is addressed to the archaeologists, to the general public as well as to children through its digital games. In it photographs of all the friezeblocks preserved today have been gathered together. In order to present the entire frieze, to the extend possible, the photographs have been combined with the drawings of J. Carrey (1674) and J. Stuart (1751).
The application was developed by the Ministry of Culture - Acropolis Restoration Service - First Ephorate of Prehistoric & Classical Antiquities and the National Documentation Centre.
