The Temple of Athena Alea at Tegea was a sanctuary dedicated to Athena Alea — a syncretism of the Olympian goddess Athena and the local deity Alea [1]. It was a significant Greek temple and served as a crucial identity marker for the ancient Tegeans [1]. Archaeological evidence reveals contacts with the Argolid and Laconia regions [2].
