with the great Ionic temples of eastern Greece—the Artemision at Ephesos (ic>9*2omx
55"iom) and the second Heraion at Samos (io8-73m x 52'4lin)- The foundations, con-
tinuous for the outermost columns, separate for the inner rows, are laid in neat polygonal
courses of Akropolis-limestone and Kara-stone with a euthynteria of hard poros. The
stylobate had three steps of poros. No column-bases have been found. But unfluted
drums of poros show a lower diameter of 2-42m and enable us to conclude that the height
of the shafts was c. i6m.
Welter suggests that the Peisistratidai, as a counterbast to the Delphic activities of the
Alkmaionidai, not only rebuilt the Telesterion at Eleusis (520—515 B.C.), but also tried to
establish a panHellenic Zeus-cult at Athens. He thinks that these two enterprises were
not unconnected. Hippias dealt in oracles (Hdt. 5. 93, cp. 90), Hipparchos in dreams
(Hdt. 5. 36); and Hipparchos was at one time under the influence of Onomakritos
(Hdt. 7. 6). Such men might well honour Zeus as the supreme god of the Orphic
cosmogony. But, with the fall of the mystically-minded Peisistrat-
idai, the vast temple was left unfinished, and the democracy
reverted to the worship of Athena.
