According to legend, Cape Sounion is the spot where Aegeus, king of Athens, leapt to his death off the cliff, thus giving his name to the Aegean Sea. The story goes that Aegeus, anxiously looking out from Sounion, despaired when he saw a black sail on his son Theseus 's ship, returning from Crete. This led him to believe that his son had been killed in his contest with the dreaded Minotaur, a monster that was half man and half bull.

So this was Poseidon's Temple. With monuments to antiquity like these, no one can ever say the Greeks weren't here first. Beautiful shot of a classical relic.

so much power in this composition! The angle, the heavy sky and the intense flare give a feeling of majesty to the temple. A standing sentinel on the sea.
