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.
The Erechtheion
This is the side of The Erechtheion on the Acropolis in Athens that contains the porch of the Caryatids (the ladies that hold up the roof!). Back in 400BC they would have been looking at a HUGE statue of the Goddess Athena Promachos whose gilded spear could be seen out to sea. the statue stood there for 1000 years before being taken to Constantinople in 465AD, where is was destroyed by a superstitious mob in 1203.
