ItalyThe Temple of Athena is a Greek temple of Magna Graecia located at Paestum in the province of Salerno, Campania, southwestern Italy [1]. Built around 500 BC, it was originally incorrectly thought to have been dedicated to Ceres [1]. However, the recovery of numerous terracotta statuettes depicting Athena confirmed its dedication to the Greek goddess Athena [1].
