Travel along the picturesque Apollo Coast to Cape Sounion (less than 40 miles from Athens), where you will visit the Temple of Poseidon. Poseidon occupied a position in Athenian founding mythology second only to Athena herself. The temple was built in 440 BC. C., on the ruins of a temple dating from the Archaic Period. It rises above the sea at a height of almost 60 meters. It is possible that the architect who built the temple of Hephaestus in the Agora of Athens also designed this temple. The temple was built in the austere Doric style and is in memory of King Aegean who, according to legend, jumped to his death from a cliff, thus giving his name to the Aegean Sea. Lord Byron, the poet, chose this temple to engrave his name on one of the columns in the 19th century and it can still be seen today.
