About The Artwork
The temple of Aphaia in Aegina Island, Greece, is a Doric, peripteral hexastyle with twelve columns on the flanks and is the best-preserved archaic temple in Greece nowadays. The temple was erected in approximately 500 – 490 BCE. According to Greek Mythology, Britomartis was pursued by Minos, the king of Crete Island, who had fallen in love with her. She jumped into the sea to save herself. She was rescued by fishermen. One of them also fell in love with her. The goddess Artemis saved Britomartis, and the inhabitants of Aegina built a temple in her honour. They called it Aphaia, meaning ‘invisible.’
