thumb Temple F at Selinus in Sicily is a Greek temple of the doric order. It was probably dedicated to Dionysus or Athena and is one of the three temples on the East Hill. The temple's dating is very uncertain, but it probably belongs to the middle of the sixth century BC The temple has six columns at the front and fourteen on the sides and represented a development of the very elongated archaic temple to a more balanced form which was becoming the norm on the Greek mainland as well,〔Dieter Mertens, ''Città e monumenti dei greci d'Occidente'', 2006,ISBN 8882653676, pp.227-228〕 and foreshadowing the 2:1 intercolumniation ratio between the long and short sides. The colonnade contained a wider ''pteron'' than usual in temples built in Sicily and, as a result, a rather narrow ''naos'' with an ''adyton'' at the rear and a ''pronaos'' with four columns. Except for those in the facade, the columns lack entasis. The intercolumniation of the peristasis was closed with high masonry barriers.〔Dieter Mertens, ''op. cit.'', 2006, pp.227-228〕 The barriers are about half the height of the columns and were perhaps built in a second phase of construction, perhaps in order to transform the peristasis into a cultic area.〔Enzo Lippolis, Monica Livadiotti, Giorgio Rocco, ''Architettura greca: storia e monumenti del mondo della polis dalle origini al V secolo'', 2007, ISBN 8842492205, p.835〕 In 1823, during excavations, two half metopes carved in tufa were discovered, depicting Dionysus and Athena respectively. They are now kept in the Museo archeologico regionale di Palermo. ==Notes== 〔 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「Temple F (Selinus)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
