The Good StuffBy Dylan (Hira) and Zach AKA Dark Marshall

Temples in Ancient Greece

Purpose of Greek TemplesTemples weren’t places of public worshipThey instead represented the homes of an

individual god who protected their community

Temple OfferingsAlthough Greek temples weren’t places of

places of public worship, offerings were made at temples

The offerings made could include things such as: food, drinks, a proper share of harvest and a share of all trades made

Offerings were made daily

Temple AnatomyEarly temples made of wood, later evolved

into being made of stone or cast bronzeGrandest god temples made of

crystelephantine, a combination of gold and ivory

The most important part of the temple were the pillars on the outside which supported the entire structure

Temples usually stood inside a sacred enclosure called the Temenos which usually included a natural element such as a spring

The most famous Greek temple is a temple in dedication of Zeus in Olympia in honour of the Olympics

This temple is considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world
