Temple of Apollo Hylates, Kourion, Cyprus
The temple was built in the Late Classical or Early Hellenistic period on the ruins of the Archaic temple. In the 1st century CE the temple was rebuilt with a different architectural style, the one that stayed today, featuring Nabatean capitals.
Hylates was a god worshipped on the island of Cyprus who was later likened to the Greek God Apollo. His name probably derives from ὑλακτέω „barking“ or ὕλη, forest“, which is why he was nicknamed Apollo of the woods. He was worshipped from the 3rd century BC until the 3rd century CE.
