The Temple of Hephaestus, also known as the Hephaesteum or Hephaesteion, in central ancient Athens, is the best-preserved ancient Greek temple in the world. It was also called the Theseion, or Temple of Theseus, due to a belief current in Byzantine times that the bones of the legendary Greek hero Theseus were buried there.
The Temple of Hephaestus was built in 449 BC on a site with a commanding view of the Athenian Agora.
