Description

The Temple of Athena at Sounion has long been recognized as one of the vital strange buildings in the architectural history of Greece. Its plan, with columns uniquely at the front and only one side, is unparalleled in the Greek world. Excavations of the temple and other buildings there, alternatively, were complicated by the truth that many architectural pieces from the web page had been reused in a Roman temple in the Athenian Agora. Here, Barletta provides an interesting examination of the early excavations at Sounion, the debate over who used to be worshipped at the so-known as Small Temple within the sanctuary, the varied architectural influences at the Temple of Athena, and the later use of its architectural pieces in the Athenian Agora. Building on unpublished work by William B. Dinsmoor Jr. and Homer A. Thompson, this study represents the first comprehensive view of the temple and its sanctuary.
