6 Stop 6 of 10 on Fingerprints on the Parthenon

The Erechtheion

Acropolis, Athens

A Preview

"The smaller, oddly shaped temple on the north side of the rock, with a porch of six stone women holding up its roof, is the Erechtheion. Those women, the Caryatids, are copies. Five of the originals are in the museum down the hill, and one is in London. But the strangest thing about this building is on its far side, in the porch facing north."
