EDITORS COMMENTS
The Erechtheion, also known as the Erechtheum or Erecththeion, is a ancient Greek temple located on the south side of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. This magnificent structure, dedicated to Athena and other ancient deities, is a prime example of classical Greek architecture and art. The Porch of the Caryatids, as it is also called, is perhaps the most famous feature of the Erechtheion. This section of the temple is adorned with six Ionic order columns, each carved to resemble the elegant form of a Caryatid, a female figure from Greek mythology. These statues were originally part of a larger group of twelve Caryatids, six of which can now be found in the British Museum in London, while the remaining six remain in their original location. The intricate details and precise craftsmanship of the Caryatids showcase the exceptional skill of the ancient Greek artisans. The Erechtheion, with its rich history and stunning architecture, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Greece and continues to be a source of inspiration and fascination for scholars, artists, and visitors from around the world.
