The Temple of Zeus Phratrios and Athena Phratria at the Greek Agora in Athens, Greece. Dating from c350-338 BC, this tiny sanctuary was dedicated to Zeus Phratrios and Athena Phratria, the tutelary divinities of the phratriai (fraternities) into which citizens were grouped. Inside was a simple cella with a small altar in front; joined by a small wall to the Temple of Apollo Patroos and forming an architectural unit with it. In the 2nd century BC a small porch was added.
