From its rocky cliffs, the mythical King Aegeus of Athens threw himself into the sea, thus giving it his name &#8211; the Aegean Sea.

It stands at the highest point of the cape, at the center of the sanctuary, which was enclosed by a built wall on the landward side. The temple\u2019s frieze depicted scenes of the Centauromachy and the Gigantomachy, symbolizing the Athenians\u2019 victory over the Persians.
