Sounion: The Temple of Poseidon

The promontory of Sounion is the southernmost tip of Attica. Here, on a windswept bluff rising above the Aegean sea, stands the temple of Poseidon, one of the most impressive classical monuments to have survived to the present day. The book includes a description of the Sanctuary of Athena and of the finds from Sounion kept in the National Archaeological Museum.
