Climbing to the Acropolis from the Propylaea, you encounter the elegant Ionic temple of Athena Nike, which was constructed by the architect Callicrates in 425-421 BC. It was related to the worship of Athena as a helper of the Athenians during wars. The relief frieze depicts the gods of Olympus on the eastern side and various battles on the other three sides.

There’s something indescribably graceful about the Temple of Athena Nike that has been standing in a prominent spot on the Acropolis since 420 BC. Athena was the goddess of war and wisdom. Nike is the Greek word for victory. It was at this temple the ancient Greeks prayed for victory in a war against Sparta.
