| 释义 |
The Intraurban Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone was an intraurban sanctuary in ancient Cyrene in Libya, dedicated to Demeter and Persephone.[1] The sanctuary was located on the north-west edge of the agora. It was founded in 7th-century BC, and the predecessor of the larger and more monumental Extramural Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone at Cyrene, Libya, which was founded somewhat later. Initially, it was a small temple, hypaethral and consisting of a peribolos wall and two altars. In the 6th-century BC, the temenos of the temple was enlarged until it surrounded an area of c 13 x 13m. The Intraurban Sanctuary was used at least until the Extramural Sanctuary was completed and fully operational.
