Abstract

The renowned Theseion of Athens remains still unfound. Therefore, due to the lack of the archaeological evidence we may get some information about it only from the written sources. Yet, none of them includes a detailed description of the Theseion. However, bringing together the poor and separated data one may have a try to reconstruct in general outline the shape of that famous sanctuary.
