Bassae
Bassae (Latin) or Bassai, Vassai or Vasses (Greek, Ancient: Βάσσαι, Modern: Βάσσες), meaning "little vale in the rocks",〔 is an archaeological site in Oichalia, a municipality in the northeastern part of Messenia, Greece. In classical antiquity, it was part of Arcadia. Bassae lies near the village of Skliros, northeast of Figaleia, south of Andritsaina and west of Megalopolis. It is famous for the well-preserved mid- to late-5th century BC Temple of Apollo Epicurius.
Although this temple is geographically remote from major polities of ancient Greece, it is one of the most studied ancient Greek temples because of its multitude of unusual features. Bassae was the first Greek site to be inscribed on the World Heritage List (1986).〔(Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae ), World Heritage List.〕 Its construction is placed between 450 BC and 400 BC.
==Temple of Apollo Epikourios==
The temple was dedicated to Apollo Epikourios ("Apollo the helper"). It was designed by Iktinos,〔The attribution was noted by Pausanias, 8.41.7ff.〕 architect at Athens of the Temple of Hephaestus and the Parthenon.〔 The ancient writer Pausanias praises the temple as eclipsing all others but the temple of Athena at Tegea by the beauty of its stone and the harmony of its construction.〔Pausanias, 8.41.7 ff.〕 It sits at an elevation of 1,131 metres〔 above sea level on the slopes of Kotylion Mountain.
