The sacred ground of the Greek temples
One recent investigation realised by the geologist Gregory Retallack, of the University of Oregon (the USA), seems to demonstrate that old the Greeks granted a capital importance to the grounds on which they erected his sacred temples.
According to Retallack, the own land of construction considered “divine ground”, and was chosen meticulously based on the divinity to which it went away to dedicate. After an existing Earth analysis under 84 temples dated between the 480 and the 338 a. C., the geologist has created a profile of each God.
Thus, for example, dedicated to Athenian and the Zeus they were risen on citadels or elevated places, whereas the sanctuaries of Hades and Perséfone, related to the infraworld, were located in dark caves or recondite enclaves.
