	Temple of Apollo - About Apollo
		Apollo (Greek Apollon) is the son of Zeus and Leto, and twin brother to Artemis.
		It was the Romans who called him Apollo, as they dropped the Greek letter nu (Roman letter n) at the end of his name, and we mostly know him as Apollo today as a result, but the actual spelling of his name is Apollon: Alpha, Pi, Omicron, Lambda, Lambda, Omega, Nu.
		The Pythia was His priestess, and in the beginning had to be a young woman who was a virgin, and she would prophesy for Apollo on the seventh day of the month.

	Epicurios Apollo
		In the cella, there is a suggestion of a colonnade on three of the four sides, as in the Parthenon and the temple of Hephaestus (the Theseion) in Athens, but the columns on the longer sides are not free- standing.
		Behind the free standing Corinthian column, in the position occupied in other temples by the closed adytum, there was a small room which, while it communicated freely with the cella, nonetheless "faced" east for religious reasons, with a door opening on to the east peripteron.
		he temple is now being restored, and will be re-erected on the same location, but on a new base that will allow it to withstand the earth-tremors and soil-shifting that occur in the area.

		An ancient Temple of Apollo located amid the ruins of Hierapolis, the "sacred city," in Western Turkey suggests such attractions may have been something of a franchise among temples during the Roman era.
		The temple, dating to the 3rd Century A.D, sat atop a monumental staircase and "near it there is an underground cavity called the Plutonion," says the study.
		Other temples of Apollo in Turkey were home to oracles and they were built over active springs, such as those at Didyma and Claros.

		The pronaos did not lead to a cella, but ended with a wall, above which was a roofed platform where the rites and pronouncements of the oracle took place.
		Behind the platform area was a high walled courtyard, derived from the open-roofed Ionic cella, with a small (28 by 30 feet) prostyle shrine of Apollo near its far end.
		The courtyard was reached by tunnel-like passages sloping down from the sides of the east porch, and at the east end of the courtyard, a grand flight of steps led up through a columnar screen to the 'stage' area of the mysteries of the oracle."

	temple - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		The temple that refers to a place of worship, for example, does not have the same origin as the temple that refers to a side of the forehead.
		The temple where one worships comes from Latin templum, itself derived from the Indo-European root tem-, "to cut, divide." Latin templum probably referred originally to the fact that temples* were on sacred ground that was "divided" or separated from ordinary ground.
		The temple of the head comes from the Latin word tempus, "temple of the head." Its origin is not certain; some have thought it to be a special use of the homonymous word tempus "time" as a translation of Greek kairios, "(proper) time, opportunity, vital spot," but there is no hard evidence for this.

	Searching for the temple garden in POMPEII
		The purpose of this Earthwatch sponsored project is to determine if the precincts of the Temples of Apollo and Venus at Pompeii were planted and to discover the patterns and types of vegetation for any garden found.
		The temple was first excavated in 1817 when the science of archaeology was in its infancy (I want to thank Dr. Maureen Carroll, the other Principal Investigator, for many of the dates and other obscure facts I'm presenting here.) Pompeii was a treasure trove in those days and record keeping was lax or non-existent.
		To the northwest of the temple just inside the stone water channel we found a broken (mendable) planting pot with holes in the base and sides, of the type used to start off young shrubs or trees in pits in the soil.
