6890 — Panegyrics of Granovetter

A Doric capital lies all askew in the shadow of the reconstructed columns of the temple of Athena on the acropolis at Assos. The temple was constructed from locally sourced andesite in 530 BC, employing a mixture of Doric and Ionic architectural elements. The temple is 6 x 13 in antis, with a frieze carved into the architrave. The stylobate measures 14 x 30 m. A few columns have been re-erected and other architectural elements lie scattered about the ridge around the temple. The views from the temple are very fine, and the Greek island of Lesbos is often visible across the Bay of Edremit. Assos occupies the crest of a ridge and its adjoining plateau above the sea. The city was founded by immigrants from Lesbos early in the 1st millenium BC. During the 6th century it was ruled by Lydia and later by the Persians. Ariobazanus, the satrap of Assos, revolted against the Persians in 365 BC, but he was defeated by Artaxerxes. The settlement flourished in the 4th century , during which the Troad was ruled by Hermeias, a eunuch who was a student of Plato and who fostered a vibrant intellectual community in the city before being captured by the Persians and tortured to death. Assos declined in importance during the 4th century, being overshadowed by Alexandria Troas and was ruled by Pergamon from 241-133. The site was first excavated in the 19th c. by Americans, and is currently under investigation by Turkish scholars.
