Seliunte contained five temples centered on an acropolis. Only one of the five temples has been re-erected, this one being the Temple of Hera. Our time at Seliunte was especially beautiful as there was an incredible view of the sea as well no chaotic tourist groups around the site. In 1959 an archaeologist reconstructed this temple using the original material, this technique is called anastylosis. Four metopes of this temple which depict Heracles killing Amazon Antiope, marriage of Zeus and Hera, Actaeon being torn apart by Artemis’ hunting dogs, and Athena killing Enceladus.
