Mykonos & Delos - Greece | island travel guide HD
Our travel guide from Mykonos, the most glamorous Greek island, where we spent our island-hopping summer holiday. We loved the beaches with crystal clear water and golden sand, the windmills, Mykonos town and the Small Venice. Delos is the biggest archaeological site in Greece and it is located only 30 minutes from Mykonos.

Walking tour through Delos, Greece 2018
Tour of the uninhabited island of Delos, Greece. Delos is one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in Greece. The excavations in the island are among the most extensive in the Mediterranean; ongoing work takes place under the direction of the French School at Athens, and many of the artifacts found are on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delos and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Delos had a position as a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. From its Sacred Harbour, the horizon shows the three conical mounds (image below) that have identified landscapes sacred to a goddess in other sites: one, retaining its Pre-Greek name Mount Kynthos,[1] is crowned with a sanctuary of Zeus.

never-ending story(357) - delos, mykonos, greece 3 sep 2016
WHITE=BLACK
============
the birthplace of apollo and artemis, delos island, a small island off mykonos(another greek island), is a very important archaeological site in the cyclades archipelago. the complex relationships among the greek pantheon of gods, and the comedies and tragedies of their stories ring out loud in this deserted ruins of the island.
the winds were very strong that day.
it not only blew his cap off many a times, it also blew him back into an era many years ago in hsinchu, a small town(then) in taiwan, with a nick-name of the wind-town, where he worked.
that time, taiwan and mainland china still held on to the one-china policy, though taiwan by then already lost the impetus to launch a war against the mainland and liberate it.
he said, it's a pity that the mainland and taiwan have 2 governments. though historically, there were one country. as time goes by, people here will forget history and go their own way.
she said, what's so good about remembering history? in the middle east, israel/palestian problem arose because the israelites read too much into history.
she continued, there's no wrong or right. that's how things in this world go. there's no black and white. white can be black. it all depends on who looks at it.
what? how can white be black?
ok. let me prove it to you. let's play a game of synonym - words with similar meaning.
ok.. how?
i open up dictionary.com, choose synonym/thesaurus instead of definition of the word. type a word WHITE, and press enter, you will find a list of words with similar mean to WHITE. in this case there are 2 words, SILVER and SILVERY. click on SILVERY, you will get a list of words with similar meaning to SILVERY. click on the word BRILLIANT, and so on... you will subsequently get BRIGHT, LUMINOUS, LUCID, CLEAR, FAIR, CANDID, BLUNT, DULL, DIM, DARK.... and voila BLACK.
so WHITE has the same meaning of BLACK!!! you can do this to all other words with opposite meanings, and find that they actually have the same meaning.
wow, you are genius. so everything in this world is neutral, no right or wrong, everything is a fair game.
yup, like the tall grass, though of unequal heights, when the wind blows across it, all stoops down; the taller ones and the shorter ones all level up in height. like what the XUN GUA of YIJING trying to portray
57. 巽卦 (風為巽)
巽 = 申命，順服、隱伏、漸進，進入。
XUN(representsingWIND) : submit fate, hiding, ambush, covert, progress slowly, enter
齊: 即平等、整齊的意思。《莊子．齊物論》：「大塊噫氣，其名為風是唯无作，作則萬竅怒呺。」由此看來，自古似乎將風視為萬物平等的一個象徵，因此「齊物倫」中以風為喻。
in ancient china, XUN(WIND) signifies equality, fairness, as alluded in ZHUANGZI's 'QIWULUN' (theory of everything), in which it stated the wind represents the agent that would make everything equal.
巽，小亨，利有攸往，利見大人。
巽，小亨通，利有所往，利於見大人。
57. XUN GUA
XUN, smooth-sailing in small matters. going forward and meeting VIP's are auspicious.
初六，進退，利武人之貞。
進退不果，宜於武人的堅定。
1st-6: in a delimma to advance or retreat. military people who persevere would prevail.
- why the GUA starts with 1st YAO on military? the world would only come a state of equality when everything is wiped out by a nuclear war. and that big mushroom cloud that generates the earth-flattening winds that sweep and incinerate everything in its path is so familiar in those apocalyptic movies. this is a BIG warning to human race to persevere, to refrain from pressing on that button.
九二，巽在床下，用史巫紛若，吉，无咎。
拜伏於牀下，有如史巫一樣的祭禱，吉，沒有罪咎。
9-2: hide under the bed, like performing a seance by the shaman. auspicious, no guilt.
- after the detonation, you need to hide...
九三，頻巽，吝。
憂愁的跪伏，吝。
9-3: kneel down with sadness and worry. troublesome.
- pray that it's over soon
六四，悔亡，田獲三品。
不再後悔，打獵捕獲的獵物很多，足以做為三種品類的用途。
6-4: no more regret. brought back a lot of preys after a hunting trip, enough for 3 types of offerings(to serve the guests, to offer to the emperor, and the gods and spirits)
- it's finally over. but, the day after, how come so fast got animals to hunt? actually it literally tells a story of bombing the human race back to the stone age of hunting/gathering subsistence.
九五，貞吉悔亡，无不利，无初有終，先庚三日，後庚三日，吉。
貞定則吉而不再後悔，無不利。沒有開始，卻有結果。庚日之前三天（丁日，丁寧的意思），庚日之後三天（癸日，揆度的意思），都是吉日。
9-5: he who perseveres prevails, and no regret. everything goes well, no start but there's an ending. 3 days before(DING) and after(GUI) GENG day are auspicious days.
- history has no start, but ends with big clouds. 3+1+3=7. 7days, the world is remade again.
上九，巽在床下，喪其資斧，貞凶。
拜伏於牀下，喪失了財產與斧頭，堅定為凶。
top-9: hide under the bed, loose his properties and his axe(power). he who persevere prevails.
- everything has to start from zilch - the absolute state of equality.
GETTING LOST IN DELOS, GREECE !!! | Our Big Fat Greek Adventure | Ep. 9
Delos is only accessible by boat from Mykonos. It is the mythical birthplace of twins Apollo and Artemis and is one of the best-preserved and most important archaeological sites in Greece. We had so much fun exploring the ruins and using our imagination to picture it as the gleaming city it once was.
There are many tour options, however, we opted to explore on our own to give our family more flexibility. We had an amazing day and the guide map provided was super useful in helping us understand everything we were looking at. // #greece #delos #greekislands #travelwithpurpose
We hope you enjoy and we thank you for stopping by!
XOXO,

Sites & Sounds: Delos
A tour of the greater area of the archeological sites near the modern port of the island of Delos, Greece, including exhibits inside the archeological museum.
The guided tour was a generous offer by the Municipality of Mykonos to the journalists and delegates to the Conference of The Region of the Southern Aegean, which took place between the 25th and 28th of June 2001 on the nearby island of Mykonos. I was covering the Conference for the print media but shot some videos nevertheless.
I filmed with a handheld digital camera, despite the hard-blowing wind. I spent about half an hour tweaking noise-reduction and notch filters within Adobe Premiere Pro but failed to find the sweat spot.
Delos Island, Greece
The island of Delos , near Mykonos, near the centre of the Cyclades archipelago, is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. The excavations in the island are among the most extensive in the Mediterranean; ongoing work takes place under the direction of the French School at Athens and many of the artifacts found are on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delos and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Delos had a position as a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. From its Sacred Harbour, the horizon shows the two conical mounds that have identified landscapes sacred to a goddess in other sites: one, retaining its Pre-Greek name Mount Kynthos, is crowned with a sanctuary of Zeus.
Established as a culture center, Delos had an importance that its natural resources could never have offered. In this vein Leto, searching for a birthing-place for Artemis and Apollo, addressed the island:Delos, if you would be willing to be the abode of my son Phoebus Apollo and make him a rich temple –; for no other will touch you, as you will find: and I think you will never be rich in oxen and sheep, nor bear vintage nor yet produce plants abundantly. But if you have the temple of far-shooting Apollo, all men will bring you hecatombs and gather here, and incessant savour of rich sacrifice will always arise, and you will feed those who dwell in you from the hand of strangers; for truly your own soil is not rich.
— Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo 51–60
