Introduction to the Mouth of Truth: The so-called "Mouth of Truth" (Bocca della verità) is a disc engraved with the head of Poseidon on the drainage outlet of the porch of the Church of Our Lady in Greece. It has a nose, eyes, and a wide mouth. According to legend, if someone doesn't tell the truth, it will bite his hand. Therefore, tourists who come here put their hands into their mouths to see if their hands will be bitten, which makes their big mouths scratched. Brilliant.
