English: The Temple of Aphaea or Temple of Aphaia is a Doric temple dating to circa 600 BCE or earlier and located on the Greek island of Aegina 31 miles (50 km) from Athens. The First Temple of Aphaea was dedicated to Aphaea, goddess of hunting but the roof was destroyed by fire around 510 BCE. The Second Temple of Aphaea Athena was likely dedicated jointly to Aphaea and Athena, goddess of Wisdom, around 490 BCE. This latter temple is well preserved today. It was for a time called «Jupiter Panhellenius»
