The Athenian Treasury ((ギリシア語:Θησαυρός των Αθηναίων)) at Delphi was constructed by the Athenians to house dedications made by their city and citizens to the sanctuary of Apollo. The entire treasury, including its sculptural decoration, is built of Parian marble; its date of construction is disputed, scholarly opinion ranging from 510 to 480 BCE. Pausanias mentions the building in his account of the sanctuary, claiming that it was dedicated from the spoils of the Battle of Marathon, fought in 490 BCE. The building was excavated by the French School at Athens, led by Pierre de La Coste-Messelière, and reconstructed from 1903–1906. The structure is still visible ''in situ'', although the metopes are reproductions; the originals are kept in the museum of Delphi. == Metopes == The thirty metopes of the treasury, c. 67 cm tall and 62–64 cm wide, nine along the long sides (north and south) and six along the short (east and west), depicted the labours of Herakles and Theseus. This is the earliest surviving juxtaposition of the two. Thesean metopes include: *Theseus and Athena *Theseus and Sinis *Theseus and the Crommyonian sow *Theseus and Sciron *Theseus and Procrustes *Theseus and the Bull of Marathon *Theseus and the Minotaur *Theseus and the Captive Amazon Heroklean metopes include: *Heracles and the Nemean Lion *Heracles and the Ceryneian Hind *Heracles and the Centaur *Heracles and Cycnus *Heracles and Orthrus *Geryon *Cows of Geryon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Athenian Treasury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
