MY JOURNEY TO THE SUN Paestum was founded by the Greeks in about 600BC and has three spectacular temples among other buildings. In the museum the real gem is the Tomb of the Diver: five painted panels from a tomb, one of which depicts a youth diving from a great height into a river or the sea. Some regard it as a symbol of the dive into the unknown that death represents; others believe it may be a yet more complex allegory.
