Throw off the bowlines… Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover… Mark Twain.
Maybe everybody watched the film « Gladiator» by Ridley Scott.
If you haven't seen it look. The Arena of battles that's what drew me then. I was
keen on to be there….. To take any seat and see in life that fighting. To feel the
spirit of the past and the trade of different nationalities. And my dream has come
true. I went to Turkey but I had no idea that I was so closer to it.
There I was attended with a popular excursion DemreMyraKekova
with a visit to the Church of St. Nicholas. And so we have been taken with the
bus outside the hotel and my trip to the historical country began. We went to the
first point of our route to Demre. The way to Demre is an endless streamer of
mountain roads, passing through the mountains and near the coast of the
Mediterranean Sea. We passed the legendary mount Olympus (Tahtali).
According to ancient legend Bellerophon on Pegasus, wined archery monster
Chimera on this mount, which fell through the bowels of the mountain. Still, on
top of this mount Olympus, you can see the flames exploring from the crevices.
And so we were found ourselves on the place of the modern city of Demre
formerly a city of the world, which name derives from the wild olive tree of the
World, but as a result of earthquakes and natural disasters of the ancient city was
completely under water, and there was built a modern Demre, which name is
literally translated as "a second over the World" that is constructed over a
previous city. The history of Demre (Worlds) is closely connected with revered St.
Nicholas in Russia , who lived in the World in 34 century and was the Bishop of
the local Church. After his death , there was some miraculous cure and the World
became a place of pilgrimage for Christians. This explains a large number of shops
with Souvenirs and icons dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Strolling through the city we passed through Lycian tombs. Lycian tombs
were impressive in size, and decorated with basrelief carved directly into the rock.
Burial places are undoubtedly delighted of its grandeur. Residents of the Lycians
believed that than the higher a tomb, the easier angels carry souls to heaven.
Lycian necropolis is essentially a series of rock tombs with decorated facades.
Externally the tombs are similar to the dwellings of the ancient Lycians, in many
places I can trace the inscriptions on the ancient Lycian language. The place of
burial among the ancient Lycians were decorated with basrelief, on which was
beaten the stories from the life of the deceased, favorite activities, family members
or cause of death.
And here we approached to the place of my dreams. Near the tombs was an
ancient theatre of city in the World. Let me explain why this theater is considered
to be GrecoRoman. Lycia was conquered by the Greeks and thanks for the Greek
theatre in the World has the appearance of a classical theater building.
The Main features of Greek theatre is its semicircular structure with a stage in
the center, where was the show. There are seat adjacent to the stage. During its
history the theatre has been repeatedly destroyed, was subjected to the earthquake,
was sunk, but was always restored. Later, Lycia was ceded by the Roman Empire.
The Romans built the theater and made its design. That is why the theater is
considered to be GrecoRoman. In GrecoRoman times shows lasted from
morning to evening in the theatre. There could be not only theatrical performances,
but also the courts, executions, sacrifices. I am sure that theatre in the World was
the heart of the city.
The Audience seats of the theatre is entirely made of stone. The theatre of Myra
is the largest the territory of Lycia with accommodation of 10 thousand people.
The seats in the Greek theatre was called the theatron (the place for shows) and
were divided beamsstairs from the stage to the upper ranks. Thus there were
several sections. The rows of seats were divided by a passage at the anterior and
posterior groups, and were distributed depending on the position. Aristocracy,
priests, ambassadors of other States was located on a convenient, front rows.
Well I did not miss the opportunity and took one of the places and found
myself in the film Gladiator and I became the observer of that battles. There is no
enough words to describe my feelings. I can only say it was fantastic. So I will
continue my historical notes. The facade of the theater was decorated with male and female masks carved
from stone. Then and now you can find among the ruins at the Museum.
So to conclusion I would say that the construction of the ancient theatre inspires
enthusiasm and admiration by its grandeur and large scale. Understanding that the
construction of two thousand years, this place is impregnated with the unique
atmosphereof many legends, myths and events.
It is like to back two thousand years ago in the past and feel all events
happened on this place.
Although «Gladiator» was shot in the Amphitheater of El JEM Tunisia, I have
got enormous pleasure from what I saw there. And this arena is very similar to the
one from the movie, no wonder the story was said. My dream became real. And
next place where I'm going to travel it would be the Amphitheater of El JEM
Tunisia.
