Modern Description: "Next to the Stoa of Zeus at the south are the remains of a small temple of Apollo Patroos (Paternal/Ancestral), so-called because he was the father of Ion, founder of the Ionian Greeks, a tribe that included the Athenians. Dated to the second half of the 4th century B.C., the temple had Ionic columns only across the front (probably six, though four is possible). A monumental marble statue found in the ruins seems to be the cult statue by Euphranor mentioned by Pausanias. Agora Guide
