点评:The Panathenaic Way was the ancient road, built as a processional path that ran ll the way from Athens’ main gate, right up to the top of the Acropolis.
Every 4 years, Athenians celebrated the Panathenaia festival and made their way along the road towards the Altar of Athena on the Acropolis.
We walked along the short stretch that runs through the Ancient Agora. It’s a dry, dusty pathway but in ancient times, it was the scene of the grand Panathenaic procession. Men brought sacrificial animals, herding noisy goats, rams, bulls, cows, and sheep along the way while elderly men brought olive branches. Women carried water-jugs on their shoulders and baskets of offerings for the gods.
Later when we were at the Acropolis Museum, we saw scenes of this Panathenaic Way procession on the Parthenon frieze.
翻译:泛雅典大道是一条古老的道路,是一条游行道路,从雅典的正门一直延伸到卫城的顶部。
雅典人每四年庆祝一次泛雅典娜节,并沿着通往卫城雅典娜祭坛的道路前进。
我们沿着穿过古集市的一小段路步行。这是一条干燥、尘土飞扬的小路,但在古代,这里是盛大的泛雅典娜游行的场景。男人们带来了祭祀动物,沿途放养吵闹的山羊、公羊、公牛、牛和绵羊,而年长的男人则带来了橄榄枝。妇女们肩上扛着水罐,还有一篮子供奉神灵的祭品。
后来,当我们在卫城博物馆时,我们在帕台农神庙的楣板上看到了泛雅典娜之路游行的场景。
