The temple was actually built to commemorate the God of blacksmiths and metallurgy and was designed by the architect, Ictinus, who worked on the Parthenon. The Parthenon - centrepiece of the Acropolis, the "sacred rock" at the heart of Athens - was commissioned by Pericles, at the height of Greek power, from the architects Ictinus and Callicrates and the sculptor Phidias. Given that modern information technologies have radically compressed our perception of historical time, it should come as no surprise that the disillusioned draftsmen of the '60s and '70s have become the modern-day equivalents of Ictinus, Callicrates, and Phidias. |
