I learned about Paestum in 1975 in a classical Greek architecture class i took, I decided then and there that one day I would go there. In 2019 I did and fell in love with the site and the surrounding area. The walk from the train station to the temple grounds is down a cobble stone road built by the Romans..its about a 30 minute walk..the road is surrounded by farm land and is within the defensive walls built by the Romans...a real step back into time...it must be pretty much as it was in Greek times..the temples surrounded by farm land. For me this was much more impressive than the ruins in Rome and without the crowds. Worth the train ride..Naples is near by also. The Portasirena Agriculturismo is a great hotel and about a 45 minute walk to the temples; we paid $80/night off season and worth every cent of it...look it up before you visit. Enjoy
I'm a new freshie Architect student. We have a report and this will be our topic. This actually helps me in gathering information with our upcoming report on Oct 10. Thank you!
I took the train from Napoli to Paestum. Have a picture of me standing inside Hera I am in a full Surfing stance in honor of surfers and sea goddess that we still ride today!
Related to "the so-called Hera II," are we positive that it's for Hera? Maybe Hera I was and II was (a gift) for Zeus.. Maybe there's just no way of knowing. I love and hate the room history leaves for speculation. It'd be nice to know everything, but we don't truly need to.
It was time the Sea gods of Hawaii meet up with Greek gods: Hanahou, Imua amukai, aloha moana nui loa! Na pule kahiko.... :) Surfing CPA Honolulu, Hawaii....I enjoyed this trip....

Spent a day there this summer...simply incredible! Had the place to ourselves for most of the time and everything was accessible.
Heading here in a couple months - very much appreciate this more academic perspective on these ruins.
Muchas gracias por el trabajo que hacen Dr Zucker y Dra Harris !!!

Poor Minerva, didn't get a lot on that temple.

If I remember correctly, there is little certainty regarding the naming conventions currently associated with the buildings.
@@smarthistory-art-history That's fair enough. Thank you for (not?) clarifying, lol. :)
