Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

This temple, dedicated to Athena Onca, the local form of Athena worshipped in Thebes, was an important site for invoking the goddess’s protection in war. It was a prominent place of worship for warriors before battles, where they sought the favor and guidance of the goddess, particularly during the Peloponnesian War.
