357 BCE to 346 BCE

Scopas’ design for the replacement for the destroyed Temple of Athena Alea, executed in 345 BCE, features a portico of Doric columns and, inside, Ionic and Corinthian orders.

The pediments bear sculptures from Scopas' workshop, the heads of which, with their distinctively styled square chin and deep-set eyes overshadowed by rolls of flesh, convey a look of passionate intensity.
