Abstract

During the 1979 excavation season at Kommos, a curious structure with three tapering stone pillars was discovered on the floor of a Geometric/Archaic temple, above which lay a fourth-century B. C. Greek temple. The tripillar structure appears to have been a center of worship particularly in the late ninth and eighth centuries B. C. Its appearance and certain historical and archaeological indications suggest that it may have been inspired by Phoenician shrines, if not set up by Phoenician seafarers visiting Kommos.
