Purifications

"Friends who inhabit the mighty town by tawny Acragas

which crowns the citadel, caring for good deeds,

greetings; I, an immortal God, no longer mortal,

wander among you, honoured by all,

adorned with holy diadems and blooming garlands." (Empedocles, Purifications)

 

So-called Temple of Concord seen from the east. Along with the Parthenon in Athens, it's said to be the best preserved Doric temple in the world. C. 440-430 BCE.
