The monument is just the latest in a series of historic sites that officials and organizers of the Athens Olympics have illuminated to give the host city a glow. The temple overlooking the Aegean Sea was built about 440 B.C., and English poet Lord Byron carved his initials on the second pillar beside the entrance sometime in the 19th century. Lighting has been installed along tens of thousands of kilo- meters (miles) of streets, on buildings, on the Acropolis, the Thiseion and Philopappou monuments, and Lycabettus Hill, which offers a panoramic view of Athens.
