At the Temple of Poseidon

The temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounion south of Athens is at a beautiful location. The marble is much brighter than that on the Acropolis, and there is a spectacular vista of the Aegean. The temple dates to the 5th century B.C. Like the Parthenon, this temple existed not as a place of worship but as the house for a statue of a god, in this case, Poseidon.
