Gottfried Gruben (†), Der Polykratische Tempel im Heraion von Samos

A comprehensive analysis of the Polykrat Temple within the Heraion of Samos, conducted by Gottfried Gruben, reveals significant insights into its architectural design and historical context. The study, published posthumously with contributions from Hermann J. Kienast, employs detailed examination of structural elements, inscriptions, and comparative architectural studies to unravel the temple's construction techniques and its role in ancient Greek religious practices. Key findings include the temple's innovative use of Doric order and its symbolic significance within the broader cultural landscape of Samos during the 6th century BCE. The work is enriched by 60 illustrations and 123 plates, providing a thorough visual documentation that supports the textual analysis.
