Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia

The Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia was a temple complex located east of Delphi in Phokis, Greece. Dedicated to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, the temple was under the control of the Cult of Kosmos in the 5th century BCE.

During the Peloponnesian War, the complex was visited by the misthios Kassandra, who eliminated the cultist guards and found one of the Ainigmata Ostraka within.[1]

Trivia

  • πρόναιᾰ (prónaia) is Greek for 'in advance, before', the sense of the name of the sanctuary being 'Athena before the Temple (of Apollo)' in the Sanctuary of Delphi.
  • Despite being dedicated to Athena, the main temple in the area houses a bronze statue of a man, possibly Apollo.
