The temple was inspired and took many design elements from sunflower's original temple on the styx server
All materials were mined and placed by hand, I had to import my old single player save file's storage for the gold blocks though. The temple base was added using MCedit.
The temple is built in the classical canonical style, with a slight deviation in the number of columns (perfect is 13 x 6, mine is 14 x 6 due to miscounting, although that does make the outside fit with the temple of Poseiden which was also 6 x 14) The inside of the temple is based off of the Parthenon with the exception that the statue has a spear instead of a owl and that there are only 3 columns behind Athena (I couldn't fit 5)
The large front and back friezes are iron ore and the smaller friezes are alternating smooth and cobble stone (not very noticeable) The temple is around 70 by 130 by 50, (I don't know the actually dimensions just built it off of symmetry)
The entire project took me about a month, although the majority of the work was done during the first 5 days of my spring break back at the start of march, I just never thought to post this until a friend suggested it.

Here's the statue again (forgot to F1 this time)
Back room of the temple
I am looking for ideas about what to do with the front section (might just erase it entirely)
Also not sure what to do with the massive space beneath the roof (i forgot to light it at first and it took me over an hour to clear it out)
My second reaction: I bet Athena would enjoy it very much!!! =-D
My last reaction: Thanks!!
I'm a daughter of Hecate, but im one of the hunters of artemis. They are my 2 fav goddesses but Athena is epic too I would prob be her daughter if I wasn't Hecate's daughter I talk to much! XD
And I must add: the columns are but one nice little detail. Taken as a whole, its a thing of wonder. Love it.
Very very nice job
