   Why are Greek temples oriented east-west?

   • The fact that many of the best known Greek temples align more or less east-west encouraged the hypothesis that temples might be oriented toward the sunrise on a specific, cult-related day. There is an epistemological reason as well not to prefer astronomical explanations when others might be available.

   Are classical temples aligned with Sunrise?

   • Introduction It has long been proposed that classical temples may have been aligned with respect to sunrise on certain dates. The idea was first proposed by Nissen in 1869. This idea was developed further by other authors such as Penrose and Dinsmoor, who argued that a temple could be dated from its astronomical alignment.

   Are Greek temples orientated toward higher-status cult sites?

   • In Greece, however, divine geography was more precisely defined. In examining Greek temples for a possible orientation toward a more ancient or higher-status cult site of the same or a related deity, we should bear in mind that the intentionality of a given orientation cannot be judged by the accuracy of the alignment.

   What is temple orientation?

   • Summing Up Temple orientation should be an obvious method, along with siting, scale, and sculptural decoration, for endowing a promised offering to the gods with the necessary meaning to reassure all elements of the ancient polis that the correct gods would be appropriately appreciative.
