It's a Hellenistic temple meaning that it's constructed for the Greek pantheon. I never knew there were still places of worship for the old Gods, but wouldn't it displease them to have one specific temple dedicated to all of them when the ancient people used to construct several temples just for one?Seems like that might be considered blasphemy.

I think they were fine as long as you stayed off Mt. Olympus.

I don't know. The Romans pretty much ripped off the Greek gods and then went ahead and built a pantheon, a temple to all the gods. (literally from the Greek "all gods") And the Romans seemed to enjoy a pretty good run after that, at least for a few centuries.

> still places of worship for the old Gods
Considering the truly Horrid state of economy in Greece - Appears Greeks should also return to obeying the Greek Gods.
As to worship of Old Gods - next door to me and closer to you in LA there are several Self Realization Fellowship temples retreats with worship to mostly Indian and Buddha but they even include Jesus.
Just strange how people have abandoned the Roman n Greek Gods for one that at best could not even get off a chunk of wood to save his life. Water to wine seems impressive until its compared to two chunks of wood that he ends up as his end.

> Greek pantheon
Well, considering Greece's current financial situation, everyone has had to cut back and consolidate, even the Gods.
