The course aims to provide a general view  of the Greek temples, from  the Geometric period till the late Hellenistic age.

Through a diachronic selection of significant contexts and monuments will be discussed the most important evidences concerning the Greek temples. They will be introduced through outlines of historical studies, positioned  in their historical and geographical context, related to the more relevant ancient literary sources. The monuments will be analyzed  in their specific structure and components, included aspects concerning rite and cult, and will be contextualized in the political, economical, social and cultural system that realized them.
