The epikurion - History

 

The Temple of the Epicurion Apollo is a greek temple that was built in honour of god Apollo. Constructed around 659 B.C. the impressive monument is the work of the architect Iktinos - also the architect of the famous Akropolis.
During the Peloponnesian Wars about 2.500 years ago the residents of Figalia had been afflicted and devastated from an epidemic plague. On the run from their homeland Figalia - an ancient kingdom with about 60.000 inhabitants - they nourished on an unknown plant that unexpectedly healed them. In reminiscence, the Epicurion Apollo - meaning "the healing Apoll" was build exactly where the refugees were detecting the curing plant.
