Room 16, Greece: Bassai sculptures, is the next stop on our #MuseumOfTheFuture tour.
The Temple of Apollo Epikourios ('Apollo the Helper') was built high on a rocky ridge of Mount Kotylion at Bassai in south-west Arcadia, a region of the Greek Peloponnese. The Greek historian Pausanias wrote, in the 2nd century AD, that the name 'Helper' was given to Apollo by citizens of nearby Phigaleia, as thanks for their deliverance from the plague of 429–427 BC. He also wrote that the temple was designed by Iktinos, one of the architects of the Parthenon.
The 23 blocks of the frieze that ran around the interior of the building show the battle between the Greeks and Amazons and the Lapiths and Centaurs.
This frieze is displayed on the upper level of Room 16. The remains of some of the 12 sculptured metopes that decorated the Doric frieze of the north and south porches can be seen on the lower level. The upper level is open 10.00–11.00 daily.
