This is the latest and most classical of the temples on the eastern hill: dedicated to Hera (or possibly Dionysos), it was begun in the early V century, at about the same time as the Temple of Athena at Syracuse and the temple at Himera, both of which were set up in celebration of the victory over the Carthaginians at Himera in 480 B.C.
			This temple was designed on an immense scale, and the porches were decorated with fine sculptured metopes of Athena killing Enkelados, the mariage of Zeus and Hera, Actaeon attacked by Artemis' dogs, and Herakles killing an Amazon: all of these can be found in the Palermo Museum.
										In recent years this temple has been much restored, and many of the columns, which had fallen in an earthquake, have been set up again.
