This photograph depicts the reconstruction of the Temple of Athena Nike. Built between 449 BCE and 420 BCE, this small temple honored the dual goddesses Athena and Nike (Victory), and commemorated the Athenians' victory over the Persians in 479 BCE. The temple is located on the southern porch of the Propylaea, and was part of the rebuilding program enacted by Pericles.
