In Ancient Olympia (4)

The Philippeion

The Philippeion in the Altis of Olympia was an Ionic circular memorial in limestone and marble and It was made by the Athenian sculptor Leochares in celebration of Philip's victory at the battle of Chaeronea (338 BC). It was the only structure inside the Altis dedicated to a human.
The temple consisted of an outer colonnade of Ionic order with 18 columns. Inside, it had nine engaged half-columns of the lavishly- designed Corinthian order. It had a diameter of 15 metres.

The battle of Cheroneia(338 BC), signified the absolute supremacy of Macedonians over Athens and opened the way for united Greeks under Alexander towards East.
A very beautiful picture of the Philippeion columns.

Excellente mise en page de ces ruines ,le feuillage de cet arbre immense adoucit l'image . le choix du NB là aussi est judicieux en ce sens qu'il évoque les photos anciennes .
Bravo .

Merkwürdig, aber dieses Foto stelle ich mir lieber in Farbe mit silbrig glänzenden Olivenbäumen und tiefblauem Himmel vor. Immer wieder muß man vor allem auch die Anmut dieser Architektur bewundern.
