Thermos (; also known as Thermon , Thermum; or Thermika) was an ancient Greek sanctuary, which served as the regular meeting place of the Aetolian League.Walter Burkert, Greek Religion: Archaic and Classical, 1984, p. 144 Its focal point was the temple of Apollo Thermios of about 630 to 610 BC, "one of the earliest developed Doric temples known and a monument of primary importance for our knowledge of the history of Greek architecture". The most famous survivals are the Archaic terracotta metopes decorated with painted scenes from mythology, which are among the earliest examples of this art form in Greece. What is left of these, and other finds from the site, are now in the museum at Thermos, with a selection of the best pieces in National Archaeological Museum, Athens.Princeton Read more on Wikipedia
