Bust of a Ruler.
Around the end of the 2nd cent. AD
Acropolis Museum (Athens, Greece)
The bust was found in the Theatre of Dionysos in 1870 or 1876. It depicts a young man with idealised features. Who the depicted person is remains unknown. Perhaps he was a philhellene ruler or the descendant of a royal family who had more of a spiritual than political connection to Athens.

Temple of Hephaestus, Ancient Agora of Athens, Greece
The Temple of Hephaestus is one of the best preserved ancient temples in Greece. It was built between 449 and 440 BC. Although some attribute it to Ictinus, who was also responsible for constructing the Parthenon, the architect is unknown.
The temple was dedicated to Hephaestus, patron of metal workers, and Athena Ergane, patroness of potters and crafts. It is also widely known by the name of “Thissio” (or “Thiseio”). This is because, at the time, it was believed that the remains of the mythical hero Theseus, the founder-king of Athens, were buried in the temple.
