Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods

Several magnificent ancient sites are located just an hour away from Athens, making for perfect day trips that will allow you to discover the grand temples and breathtaking nature beyond the capital.

In 1968, during work to settle the torrent bed, Roman-Egyptian statues of supernatural size came to light, followed by a rescue excavation, which revealed parts of the ancient building. This sanctuary dates back to around 150-160 AD. and is attributed to Herod Atticus, a dynamic and prominent personality, a great orator and sophist, who was born in Marathon in 103 AD. and died in his birthplace in 179 AD. He donated a large part of his property to donations, while he financed the construction of magnificent buildings and public works in various cities of Greece.

The worship establishment of Egyptian Gods in Greece.

But how could the worship of Egyptian Gods be interpreted in Greece? Isis and Osiris were a couple of Egyptian gods, whose worship was adopted in Greece and dates back to the last decades of the 4th century BC, as confirmed by the existence of inscriptions that refer to the establishment of a sanctuary dedicated to Isis in the port of Piraeus. The two gods were Hellenized and Isis can be identified with the goddess Demeter or Aphrodite, while Sarapis, the Hellenized form of Osiris, was equated with powerful gods of the Greek pantheon, such as Zeus, Dionysus and Hades.
This sacred site is our first stop, part of our full-day “Swim and Culture Tour 1” in East Attica.
