Summary
This chapter examines the admittedly scant evidence for cult buildings in the Greek world between the eleventh and ninth centuries. Histories of Greek architecture have often depicted this period as the “darkness” out of which Greek temples appeared, more or less suddenly, in the eighth century.1 But how sudden was this appearance, and to what extent can we now trace the early stages of the temple back to previous centuries?
