Not far from where I study some of the old University buildings are placed. They are built in a sort of Roman style and inside they have the most interesting motives from the greek mythology painted on the walls and in "fleshed" out in the form of statues.
It is all composed to a deeply symbolic way. I like to go there and ponder some of the riddles posed such as:

---

Should one take the stairway of Athena or of Apollon towards the light above?

---

or

---

Why rests the sphinx on the head of Athena ?

---

Often while I sit there group upon group of guided tourists or groups of backpackers come in. Look around for about 20 minutes and then leave again sometimes looking as if they came for something they did not find...
I tend to conclude from that, that it must be better to be well prepared visiting a few places only, instead of visiting many places, which one sadly finds oneself unable to appreciate.
