dc.descriptionNortheast corner, from within the temple remains; The Classical Doric style (ca. 525-323 BCE) appeared suddenly at Selinus with Temple E in the eastern sanctuary, dedicated to Hera (ca. 470-ca. 450 BCE; stylobate 25.32 x 67.74 m). The colonnade of massive and closely spaced columns (6 by 15), with single angle contraction at the corners, probably reflects the so-called Temple of Herakles at Akragas (Agrigento) of ca. 500 BCE; the arrangement of the cella, with an adyton as well as standard pronaos and opisthodomos, is a local feature; the strong curvature in the foundations is unique to Selinus, however. The roof tiles were of bronze. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/ (accessed 8/17/2010)en_US
