"In the 14th century A.D., Sounion was used as a pirate stronghold. The site of Sounion was later visited by the 19th century English poet, Lord Byron, who carved his name into one of the columns of the temple of Poseidon. From its occupation as a sanctuary in the 7th century B.C. through to the abandonment of its temples some 700 years later, Sounion served an important religious function for all of Attica. Over the past two centuries, the site has become a tourist mecca." — Laura A. Rogers, Dartmouth University |
