Temple of Apollo Patroos Next to the Stoa of Zeus at the south are the remains of a small temple of Apollo Patroos (Fatherly), so-called because he was the father of Ion, founder of the Ionian Greeks, ... A monumental marble statue found in the ruins seems to be the cult statue by Euphranor mentioned by Pausanias (Fig. 11). ... They say the god received this name because by an oracle from Delphi he stopped the plague which was afflicting them at the same time as the Peloponnesian War." (Pausanias 1.3.4) Figure 11.
