Η χειραψία στην αρχαιότητα δεν ήταν απλά ένας χαιρετισμός…
Η ανταλλαγή χειραψίας με το δεξί χέρι λεγόταν δεξίωση και ήταν σύμβολο σεβασμού, συμφωνίας και φιλίας. Θεοί, ήρωες και πολίτες απεικονίζονταν συχνά σε σκηνές δεξίωσης να δίνουν τα χέρια ως ένδειξη εμπιστοσύνης.
Στη φωτογραφία που βλέπετε η Αθηνά ανταλλάσει χειραψία με έναν άντρα που ερμηνεύεται ως Κέκροπας, ως Ήφαιστος, ως Ερεχθέας ή ως προσωποποίηση του Δήμου της Αθήνας.
