Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Erechtheion on February 6, 2020. The colossal bronze statue of Athena, known as Athena Promachos, dominated in the area between the Propylaia and the Erechtheion, to the left of the visitor walking along the processional way of the Acropolis. It was made by the renowned sculptor Pheidias. The Athenians dedicated the statue to Athena, to express their gratitude for her contribution to the victories in the Persian Wars. Later sources refer that its construction was financed from the tithe spoils.
Čeština: Trojdílný zdobený podstavec před chrámem je pozůstatkem podstavce, na kterém stála kolosální bronzová socha Athény Promachos kterou zhotovil za desátek z válečné kořisti řecký sochař Feidiás. Pausaniás o tom píše: „Jsou tu dva dary pořízené z desátku válečné kořisti Athéňanů: bronzová socha Athény z věcí vzatých Médům, přistávším u Marathónu, dílo to Feidiovo."
