The
Erechteion was
built to a plan which was highly unusual for a temple or for
any building of worship. It was where Athena Polias was worshipped
but there were also altars devoted to Zeus Ippatos, Poseidon,
Hephaestus, Erechtheus and his brother Voutes. The tomb of Erechteheus,
the sacred snake of the Acropolis, the tomb of Cecrops and the
Erechteias Sea were also found there.
