The Athena Nike Temple Reconsidered

Recent study of the Ionic temple by the Ilissos suggests strongly that its date should be lowered from ca. 450 to ca. 430 B. C.; this reassignment would make its building almost contemporary with that of its close counterpart, the Temple of Athena Nike on the Akropolis bastion. The decree authorizing that temple and appointing a new priestess (IG I2 24) has always been dated ca. 448 B. C. despite real anomalies, but this early date cannot be maintained if the Ilissos temple is redated. The gap of over twenty years between decree and start of building has long been an embarassment. There are remarkable and close formal ties between IG I2 24 and the Athenian decree for Chalkis (IG I2 39), traditionally associated with the crushing of the Euboian revolt in 446/5 B. C. There was, however, some Athenian military action against Euboia in 424/3 according to Philochoros. If IG I2 24 can now be dated to the 420s, IG I2 39 should also be assigned to this period
