Ruthless and barbaric........

The ancient temple of Athena was a temple dedicated to the godess Athena Polis on the Akropolis in Athens.

It was the most important temple in Athens untill its function after its destruction by the Persians in the 5th century BC, was taken over by the Parthenon and the Erechteion.

Now only remnants of the podium and the Caryatids of this temple remains.

The Caryatids are pilasters in the shape of a female statue..
