The Temple of Apollo Zoster is a Greek temple, the remains of which are located at Vouliagmeni in Attica, Greece. ==Location and discovery==
The Temple was uncovered when children from the Vouliagmeni Orphanage were playing on what is now known as the Astir Beach.〔Interpretation information located at the Temple, Astir Beach〕 The site now lies sunken, at the back of the Beach, and is surrounded by a lawn and hedges. The Temple is almost at sea level, and so is often flooded outside the summer months. The inscriptions found on the ruins confirm that the site is the Temple of Apollo Zoster. Excavations were undertaken by the archaeologists K Kourouniotes and M Pittidis during 1926-7. This confirmed references in the ancient literary sources: Pausanias mentions that this was the location of the most important sanctuary of the deme of ''Aixōnídes Halaí'' ((ギリシア語:Αἰξωνίδες Ἁλαί)),〔Pausanias, I, 31,1〕 in other words, the Saltfields of ''Aixōnē''. This ancient deme included the modern areas of Voula and Vouliagmeni.〔 The Temple sits on the middle tongue of a three-tongued promontory which was once famously known in antiquity as Cape Zoster.〔Barber, R., “Blue Guide Greece”, published by A & C Black, 1987, ISBN 0-393-30372-1〕 Herodotus writes that, after the battle of Salamis, the Persians mistook the rocks of the headland for Greek ships.〔Herodotus, VIII, 107〕
