The Caryatids

The Caryatids

The porch of the Caryatids on the Erechtheion, one of the Temples on the Acropolis in Athens. This was built in 421BC to replace a temple destroyed by the Persians in 460BC. One of these ladies is in the British museum! This is apparently the place where Athena defeated Posidon for the City.
