The Temple of Apollo Patroos was a shrine dedicated to the Greek god Apollo by the Stoa of Zeus near the agora of Athens in Attika, Greece.
Originally built around 535 BCE by Peisistratos, the temple was destroyed by Persians during their invasions some decades later. Afterwards, the ruins were left as a reminder of their sacrilege, until the temple was built anew during the 4th century BCE, and a statue made by Euphranor was placed within.[1]
The temple was of special interests to the citizens of Athens, for they considered Apollo to be their forefather, via his son Ion, the founder of the Ionians. Ion was also, via his mother Creusa, the grandson of the mythical Athenian king Erechtheus.[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, the temple doesn't have a statue within.
