雅典科学院是新古典主义风格的建筑杰作,与旁边的国家图书馆和雅典大学合称“新古典主义三部曲”。建于19世纪,由丹麦建筑师韩森兄弟模仿卫城伊瑞克提翁神殿的设计修建,吸取了希腊古典建筑的精髓。参观雅典科学院,不可错过学院门口的4个雕像以及门楣上众神的雕塑。 雕塑 雅典科学院在三座新古典建筑的最南侧, 两根高高的大理石神像柱的顶端站立着希腊褚神中最著名的两位:左侧是手持长矛和盾牌象征着智慧和勇敢的雅典娜神,右侧是左手持里拉琴代表着光明和音乐的阿波罗神,这两位也是雅典人最喜欢的两位大神。在入口处的台阶两侧还有两位古希腊伟大的哲学家的大理石雕像,左侧是苏格拉底,右侧是柏拉图,他们用深邃的目光注视着每一位进入雅典学院的人。 雅典学院的门楣上还有一排众神的雕塑,最中央的是众神之主宙斯,其他列神分别站于其两侧。学院内部不可以随便进入,但游客也主要就是参观科学院门口的四个雕像。
