Temple of Athena Alea
Temple of Athena Alea, Ancient Greek temple in Tegea, Greece
The Temple of Athena Alea features marble columns arranged in three rows, incorporating different architectural orders throughout its structure and layout.
Originally built by Aleus in the Archaic period, the temple underwent reconstruction after a fire in 394 BC under architect Scopas of Paros.
The temple contained numerous statues, including representations of Asclepius and Hygieia, connecting local traditions with broader Greek religious practices.
Archaeological excavations at the temple site began in 1806 and continue through international research teams, revealing multiple layers of ancient construction.
The temple's ivory statue of Athena Alea, crafted by Endoeus, was later transported to Rome by Emperor Augustus for display in his forum.
