PHILON

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 439 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHILON , Athenian architect of the 4th
century
  B.C., is known as the planner of two important worksthe portico of the
great
 
Hall
  of the Mysteries at Eleusis and an arsenal at Athens. Of the last we have exact knowledge from an inscription. E. A. Gardner (Ancient Athens, p. 557) observes that it " is perhaps known to us more in detail than any other lost
monument
  of antiquity." It was to hold the
rigging
  of the galleys; and was so contrived that all its contents were visible from a central
hall
 , and so liable to the inspection of the Athenian democracy. (See ATHENS.)
