Summary: Complex of courts and rooms; west and slightly north of
the Sacred Lake.
Date: ca. 125 B.C. - 100 B.C.
Period: Hellenistic
Plan:
A door on the southern side let into a short hall leading to a court with
a colonnade on its western side, opening into 4 chapels. West of the entry were
small rectangular rooms. East of the 1st court was a rectangular peristyle court
with a Doric colonnade and a cistern. On the northwest corner of the structure
and entered from the peristyle court was another court with a mosaic pavement,
probably a meeting or reunion hall. In the southeast corner were reception halls
with halls and shops below in a basement.
History:
Mixed Greek and Syrian design. Built by Syrian merchants and ship owners
from Beirut during the time when Delos was briefly the commercial center of Greece,
and used as a guild hall or club house. Baal, whom they principally worshipped,
was identified with Poseidon, hence the name, Poseidoniasts.
