Athens city heritage classical era
Athens, Greece
The Temple of Hephaiston (also known as the Theseion) was built in the fifth century BC.
10 of 17
The temple was dedicated to the gods Hephaistos and Athena. Hephaestus, Greek god of volcanoes and metalworking, was the only one of the Olympian Gods who was physically imperfect - he was lame - and who had to perform manual labor. He worked as a blacksmith and was responsible for crafting the armor with a fatal weakness worn by Achilles in The Iliad. The temple is also dedicated to Athena Ergane, a form of the city's patron goddess responsible for pottery and other crafts.
