The Temple of Zeus at Akragas is poorly preserved and imperfectly known. This article offers an analysis of its dimensions and of the principles which might have determined the anomalous arrangement of the columns. Suggestions are made for the interior plan and for the roofing of the structure, which probably included an hypaethral section in the center. Pythagorean beliefs and number theories may have influenced the shaping of this unusual temple
