absurd to appropriate them to any other building which Pausanias 

 has mentioned. * 



Fourthly, the situation of this temple is near the fountain of 

 Enneacrunos or Calliroe, where some old authors have placed f it ; 

 and there is reason to believe, from what Pausanias relates of the 

 older temple built by Deucalion, that it occupies the same site as that, 

 which we know from the passage of Thucydides already quoted to 

 have been on this side of the Acropolis. 



I am of opinion, that much of the obscurity which has hitherto 

 attended this enquiry will be removed, if I add something on the 

 history of this temple. 



There were undoubtedly three temples erected at Athens to the 

 Olympian Jupiter, at three very distinct and remote seras. 



The first was built by Deucalion. 



The second was begun by Pisistratus, and continued by his sons, 

 but left unfinished. 



The third, or the temple of which we see the remains, was begun 

 by Perseus, or Antiochus Epiphanes, continued by the kings in 

 alliance with Augustus, and completed by Hadrian. The first was 

 probably a building of a very rude construction ; the second, a Doric 

 temple ; the third, was Corinthian and hypasthral. 



The participation of the sons of Pisistratus in the erection of the 

 second temple, is intimated in a passage of the Politics of Aristotle 

 (v. 11.), aoa tov 'OAd^tt/ou jj oiKodopying vtto Uuri<rrpcx,Ti^uv, and the ex-

 original reading by the learned and ingenious editors of the French
