Stoibadeion, Greek sanctuary on Delos, Greece
The Stoibadeion contains a rectangular platform that houses the central position where a statue of Dionysus stood between two theatrical actors representing Papposilenos.
During 300 BCE, a Delian citizen named Carystios erected the southern pillar of the sanctuary to mark the success of a theatrical production under his sponsorship.
The temple exhibits the connection between religious worship and theatrical performances through its architectural elements, statues, and detailed relief decorations.
The original statues of actors portraying Papposilenos from the Stoibadeion sanctuary now reside in the Delos Museum for conservation purposes.
Each side of the rectangular platform features pillars topped with large phallus sculptures, representing fertility symbols associated with the god Dionysus.
