ΑΚΡΟΠΟΛΗ (Αρχαία ακρόπολη) ΑΘΗΝΑ
Ictinus (Iktinos). One of the most famous architects of Greece; he flourished
in the second half of the fifth century B.C., and was a contemporary of Pericles
and Phidias. His most famous works were the Parthenon on the Acropolis at Athens,
and the temple of Apollo at Bassae, near Phigalia in Arcadia. Of both these edifices
important remains are in existence. Most of the columns of the temple at Bassae
are still standing. In the judgment of the ancients, it was the most beautiful
temple in the Peloponnesus, after the temple of Athene at Tegea, which was the
work of Scopas (Pausan. viii. 41. 8).
