Originally built in the 5th century BC, the ancient sanctuary was dedicated to the goddess Aphaia, the protector of the Saronic Gulf. The pediment, now displayed at the Glyptothek Museum in Munich, Germany, is a remarkable testament to the artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks. Paris, wearing the distinctive Phrygian cap, is shown in this sculpture kneeling and focusing intently on his target.

The interior of the Glyptothek Museum, with its warm lighting and elegant design, provides the perfect backdrop for this magnificent reconstruction. The Temple of Aphaia, a symbol of ancient Greek culture and mythology, continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This photograph is an excellent reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Greece and the enduring influence of its mythology on European culture.
