This interesting lecture, delivered by Phillip Muffett, delves into the history and architecture of the Ionic Temple and how it relates to the Greek Gods.
Commissioned by the 1st Marquis of Rockingham and designed by Henry Flintcroft in 1735, this folly is a copy of one of the most famous temples in Greece, the Tholos Temple of Delphi dedicated to the Goddess Athena. Find out what the story of the statue can tell us about Greek mythology and the understanding of the all-powerful gods.
