The Temple of Athena Alea was a sanctuary at Tegea in Ancient Greece, dedicated to Athena under the epithet Athena Alea; a syncretization between the Olympian goddess Athena and the local deity Alea [1]. It was a significant Greek temple [1]. The first temple at the site likely dates to the early Archaic period of Greek history; the memory of this temple survived, and is included in the account of Pausanias [1]. The cult statue of the Athena Alea was made by Endoeus in ivory [1].
