2. The ancient Greek temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, built during 444–440 BC, is one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens. A Doric temple, it overlooks the sea at the end of Cape Sounion, at a height of almost 60 metres (200 ft). It was constructed in 444–440 BC. This was during the ascendancy of the Athenian statesman Pericles, who also rebuilt the Parthenon in Athens. It was built on the ruins of a temple dating from the Archaic period. Strabo noted: "Geraistos [in Euboia] . . . is conveniently situated for those who are sailing across from Asia to Attica, since it comes near to Sounion. It has a temple of Poseidon, the most notable of those in that part of the world, and also a noteworthy settlement."

About Athen

Athen løfter Akropolis over en vidstrakt moderne hovedstad der antikke ruiner, smug i skråningene og lange taverna-kvelder ligger side om side.

Parthenon kroner Akropolis, flankert av Erechtheion med sin veranda av karyatider, og Akropolismuseet ved foten av høyden viser skulpturer funnet på fjellet. Rundt omkring gjør Den antikke agora, Olympieion, Hadrians port og det marmorbelagte Panathinaiko-stadion den klassiske byen lett å gå gjennom.
