Description
This is an image of the quarry of Apollonas on Naxos. Similar to the closeup of Naxos Apollonas quarry site for the Kouros (sackett_12 and 13), this image is almost the same except from a further distance back.

Notes
The quarry is very important because of the quality of the marble. Naxian marble is considered very high quality and was used in many ancient sculptures and still used today. This marble was very important to not only Naxians but all of Greece, and its export made Naxians know all throughout Greece.
