現在的蘇尼翁角，除了有海神殿的遺跡以外，更因美麗的日出日落而著稱。離雅典市區足足兩個小時的車程，專程到此一遊的觀光客實為少數，真是可惜了這美麗的景緻。Nowadays, Cape Sounion is famous not only for the remains of the Poseidon temple but also for its beautiful sunset. It’s about two-hour drive from Athens city center and it seems not too many people go to the Cape on purpose for the scenery… quite a pity.
英國詩人拜倫曾於1810年到訪，受感動之餘，他也在海神殿的柱子上刻下了自己的名字。蜜兒多與我二人在好奇之餘，便開始仔細觀察身邊所有的石塊遺跡。各個石塊上滿滿是眾人的刻劃，卻不見詩人遺留下的痕跡，撫摸著大理石上因時空消逝而逐漸平滑的刻痕，我，心中竟是滿滿的惆悵…
Lord Byron came here in 1810. He was so touched by the beauty of Cape Sounion that he carved his name on one of the column of the Poseidon temple. Mirto and I started to observe the columns and blocks, hoping to find anything unusual. There’re carvings of many people but we just couldn’t find the one from Lord Byron. Touching the carvings on the marbles faded because of time, I was feeling a bit melancholy.
