Altar of Athena Polias
The Altar of Athena Polias was a former structure on the Acropolis of Athens dedicated to the goddess Athena.[1]
The altar's foundations were laid in 525 B.C. by the sons of the Athenian dictator Peisistratus, but may have overlaid an earlier temple constructed between 599 and 550.[1] The altar itself stood within a narrow temple atop a marble pediment depicting battles between gods and giants. Images of Athena are shown as dominant and victorious within the armies of the gods.[2]
