“A Journey into the Light”
Iconic Illumination of the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion sponsored by METLEN Energy & Metals
A New Dimension in Light and Cultural Heritage supported by the Ministry of Culture and METLEN Energy & Metals.
METLEN Energy & Metals reaffirms its commitment to highlighting and protecting ancient Greek cultural heritage. Twenty years later, technology has made great strides. The lighting system at Sounion had become outdated and weathered by time. The promptness with which METLEN Energy & Metals, led by its President Evangelos Mytilineos, responded to the Ministry of Culture’s proposal to undertake the lighting study and implementation of the project reinforces their dedication to preserving our cultural heritage. The lighting design, which uniquely highlights the archaeological and architectural significance of the monument, bringing it new dimensions, is by Eleftheria Deko and her team.
«The modern lighting, respectful of the monument’s value and beauty, reveals new dimensions of its architecture that are going to impress every visitor. The image we see today will travel to every corner of the world, reminding everyone that beauty, or ‘kallos,’ has its roots here in Greece», Evangelos Mytilineos, President and CEO of METLEN Energy & Metals.
«The Temple of Poseidon, now illuminated by the rays of the 21st century, declares one thing: that we Greeks can achieve great things. With balance, confidence, and courage, we transform these columns of yesterday into the foundations of tomorrow», Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
