L'Eretteo (in greco antico: Ἐρέχθειον, Eréchtheion) è un tempio ionico greco del V secolo a.C., che si trova sull'Acropoli di Atene. È un tempio duplice.
Nonostante la grande importanza del culto tributato ad Atena nel grande tempio (prima l'Ekatónpedon, poi il Partenone) sulla sommità dell'Acropoli, questo santuario, dedicato alla dea Atena Poliade (protettrice della città), era legato a culti arcaici e alle più antiche memorie della storia leggendaria della città, costituendo il vero nucleo sacro dell'Acropoli e dell'intera città. In questo luogo si sarebbe infatti svolta la disputa tra Atena e Poseidone: vi si custodivano le impronte del tridente del dio su una roccia, un pozzo di acqua salata da cui sarebbe uscito il cavallo, dono del dio, e l'olivo, donato dalla dea Atena alla città. Qui il re Cecrope, metà uomo e metà serpente, avrebbe consacrato il Palladio, la statua della dea caduta miracolosamente dal cielo. Il santuario ospitava inoltre le tombe di Cecrope, di Eretteo e un luogo di culto dedicato a Pandroso, la figlia di Cecrope amata dal dio Ermes.

Temple of Erected at Temple of the Acropolis is a representative of the Acropolis, this ancient Greek architecture more than 2000 years of history without the magnificent Padman temple, but the temple of the caryatids, lifelike statue of the woman Carved into the pillars, it is impressive when the Greeks have such superb artistic attainments and engraving techniques. After seeing the Padre temple, it is common for one to first notice the Padman temple before seeing the other buildings next to it. The temple's pillars are quite special and are the six girls with baskets styling, quite special and worth seeing (of course you can see them in the museum of course) The temple is part of the Acropolis complex . Here are the characteristic porches of the Caryatids, which seem to be the most well-preserved or well-restored part of the ruins. Although the Parthenon may be the most famous and largest attraction in Athens, I think the Temple of Erected at God is even more in line with my appetite. If you come, be sure to walk around it and take a look around. Here is a true testimony of the Greek civilization of art, architecture and civilization. This temple is located in the corner of the Acropolis, unlike other square temples, the temple is a girl's pillars, not as much as other body mass, but it seems a lot of soft, carved lifelike, admire Endless.

A relatively well preserved temple in the Ionic-style Acropolis. Here, the most interesting are Tsararyatids - columns shaped like a female statue. Keep in mind that the real ones are in the Acropolis Museum, and those in the temple are just spears.

Less well known than the Parthenon, it’s unique structure and the fact that was simultaneously a cult place for several Greek gods and burial place of a king, makes this temple a very special one. It has interesting “signs” of Athena Polias and Poseidon. Try to find them. Tips: one is a vegetable one and a other crosses the ceiling. It’s most well known feature though is the Porch of the Karyatids, all six here are reproductions. You can see five of the magnificent female draped figures in the New Acropolis Museum. The sixth one is in the British Museum.

Beautiful ancient temple at the top of the hill of Acropolis of Athens. Good photo opportunities, panoramic view of Athens city.

One of my favourite Greek temples with the outstanding Porch of the Caryatids - although these are copies of the original ones (one can be seen at the British museum, and the other five at the acropolis museum) due to its choppy history. The temple was built at different heights and tried to preserve several shrines, but it is widely believed to be dedicated to Athena.

One of the most beautiful temples on the Acropolis.Dont forget to check out the mythical olive tree on the other side of the temple.
