The Ruined Temple of Athena Poliouchos

The Ruined Temple of Athena Poliouchos was a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena located in the Forest of Tears on Chios, Greece.

History

During the 6th century BCE, the temple was where Pactyas, a Lydian general under Cyrus the Great sought refuge in to escape capture. When he was subsequently captured, the residents of the island stopped making offerings to the temple.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War, the temple ruins was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who found that it had become an abode of bandits, and subsequently claimed their valuables.[2]

Trivia

  • Πολιούχος (polioúchos) is colloquial Greek for 'patron saint' (lit. 'city-holder', 'city-protector'), and it's an honorific applied to multiple deities and legendary figures.
