Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

Located outside the city on the banks of the Ilissos River, this temple was dedicated to Artemis as the goddess of the hunt and protector of the countryside. It serves as a sacred space for Athenians to pray for success in hunting and agriculture, particularly vital during times of war, where offerings are made to Artemis prior to military campaigns.

A majestic temple nestled among lush greenery, with tall marble columns adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of hunting, standing proudly against the backdrop of the flowing Ilissos River and a clear blue sky.
