CARYATIDS
ATHENS
|
The Porch of Caryatids is my favorite section of the Acropolis.. It is located in the south side of the Erechtheion above the north slope. I suppose I like it because it uses figures of women as columns (Pillars of strength) and each of the women is different. It is also very beautiful. Erechtheion Erechtheion with the Porch of Caryatids. The columns, which are the caryatids in this are casts. They are not the originals. There are four of the originals in the Acropolis Museum. The columns of the Erechtheion from the East side. |
