Greek Myths for Kids: Where the Stories Happened, 7 of 8: Temple of Aphaia



A Doric temple built around 500 BC on a hilltop about 160 m up, on the island's east side. Its columns still stand, though the roof is gone, and on a clear day the Acropolis shows across the gulf.
The site museum rebuilds part of an older temple that burned around 510 BC, plus copies of the sculpted warriors from the Trojan War battles that once filled the pediments.
