The Greek Gods ES

Poseidon sanctuary was located in Sunium, which is at the southernmost tip of the Athenian coastline. This makes senses because Poseidon is the god of the sea. For the Athenians it was important because the maintain their empire by trading of seas. I was expecting their to be a good reason why the choose this specific place to build the sanctuary but it had nothing to do with the place it was built in.
