The ancient Temple of Poseidon rises from the Aegean Sea about 70 kilometers southeast of Athens, Greece. It was built between 444 and 440 B.C. using marble from the valley of Agrilesa. The temple was a peripteral building of the Doric order, with six columns at each end and thirteen on each long side. The Doric columns are 20 feet tall and three feet in diameter. An inscription on the temple confirms that it was dedicated to the Sea God Poseidon.
