Artemis Sanctuary of Brauron – I - a photo on Flickriver

            The rectangular yard and the North stoa. The pretty and well-preserved sanctuary of Artemis of Brauron lies in a quiet isolated valley. Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, was worshipped here from very early on. In the Hellenistic period the Erasinos River, which flows through the valley, flooded and covered much of the sanctuary with mud, turning the surroundings into a marsh. However Roman reliefs show the cult place was still functioning, because the temple was situated on higher rocky ground and an artificial terrace. The importance of the cult, which reached its acme in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, is shown by the founding of a Brauroneion on the Acropolis of Athens, perhaps as early as the late sixth century BC; the Peisistratids, who came from the area of Brauron, had probably brought ‘their’ goddess to the centre of Attica.
