The Caryatids of Erechtheion🇬🇷 These 6 caryatids stop the Acropolis gaze towards the Parthenon and serve as columns supporting the structure of the Erechtheion. The sacred building was named after King Erechtheus who judged the contest between Poseidon and Athena for who would be the patron diety of Athens. These 6 elegant figures appear similar, but each have their own distinctions that makes each caryatid unique. #GreekMythology #Athens #Greece #GreekHistory #Acropolis #Parthenon #Caryatids
