Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

Located on the slopes of Mount Ismenus near Thebes, this temple was dedicated to Apollo Ismenius and served as a significant religious center for Thebans. Here, the faithful came to offer sacrifices and seek the oracle's guidance amidst their tribulations, especially during wartime when the people sought divine protection from the god.
