Temple Approach
As you approach you notice "the statue of Athena is upright, with a tunic reaching to the feet, and on Her breast the head of Medusa is worked in ivory. She holds a statue of Victory about four cubits high, and in the other hand a spear; at Her feet lies a shield and near the spear is a serpent" (Pausanias 1.24.7).
You feel the desire to:
- Know who is the Goddess Athena
- Visit the rear room
- Visit the Museum of the Goddess Athena just next door
- Leave the sanctuary
