The Delos Lions

Just two miles off the coast of Mykonos lies Delos, considered by ancient Greeks to be the holiest of sanctuaries. Frommer's states that "It (Delos) is unquestionably one of the most remarkable archaelogical preserves in the world."

These are the Naxion Lions made of marble from Naxos in the 7th century BC. There were originally nine and perhaps more, but only five remain.
