| | CRITIAS by Plato, Part 04 |
 | | Some of their buildings were simple, but in others they put together different stones, varying the colour to please the eye, and to be a natural source of delight. |
 | | Here was Poseidon's own temple which was a stadium in length, and half a stadium in width, and of a proportionate height, having a strange barbaric appearance. |
 | | In the interior of the temple the roof was of ivory, curiously wrought everywhere with gold and silver and orichalcum; and all the other parts, the walls and pillars and floor, they coated with orichalcum. |
