The Erechtheion, 421-405 B.C.E. (Classical Greek), Acropolis, Athens Speakers: Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker The Ionic of the Erechtheum is commonly acknowledged to be the most beautiful of the Greek Ionic orders. [i] Located in the shadow of the Parthenon, the Erechtheum was erected between 421 and 406 BC ( figure 1 ). The temple was first recorded in modern times by Julien-David LeRoy, who published drawings and a description of the Erechtheum in The Unusual, Unexpected Erechtheion. The Parthenon embodies the ideals of perfection Classical Greeks sought from architecture. The neighboring Erechtheion offers something else.
