Duke Theseus, too, had many things to do. He built a place outside Athens, ready for the battle. If had stone walls, with white gates on the east and west sides. The duke made three temples-a temple of Venus the goddess of love, a temple of Diana the goddess of outdoor life, and a temple of Mars the god of fighting. There were beautiful pictures in the temple of Venus and a garden full of flowers. In the pictures Venus had roses on her head and a beautiful bird flying above her.
