DescriptionTemple of Poseidon - Sturdy base rocks.jpg |
English: The main hall of the temple (naos) would have been a windowless rectangular room at the centre of the building. It would have contained the cult image, a colossal, ceiling - height bronze statue of Poseidon.Probably gold-leafed, it may have resembled the sculpture , which was created in the same period as the temple. Poseidon was usually portrayed carrying a trident, the weapon he supposedly used to stir up storms. As with all Greek temples, the Poseidon building had a colonnade on all sides. The total no. of original columns was 42; 16 still stand today. The columns are of the Doric order. They were made of locally-quarried white marble. They were 6.10m high, with a diameter of 1m at the base and 79 cm at the top. |
