The Doric temple of Segesta was extremely interesting to observe considering the unique narrative surrounding its role and history. The temple’s claim to fame is that it was never actually finished which can be especially witnessed as the columns are unfluted and the knobs still remain on the sides of the temple stairs. This temple was allegedly built only to show of the “great wealth” of the inhabitants of the area in order to motivate Athenian forces to help Segesta because riches and wealth would be given to them in turn. Ultimately, Athenians do help Segesta in battle however they eventually realize they were being lied to and Segesta only provides little aid/resources to the Athenian forces who fight on their behalf.
