Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

This unique, multi-leveled temple on the Acropolis was dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. Athenians viewed this temple as a testament to their heritage and their relationship with both gods, praying here for divine support during the war. It is a sacred site associated with ancient Athenian myths, including the legendary contest between Athena and Poseidon for the city’s patronage.
