the reconstruction of the temple's architectural history has remained controversial until recently. more recently, scholars have attributed the older remains, initially attributed to the inner "h-architektur", to the close hekatompedon temple, dating the temple of athena polias to the last third of the 6th century bc and identifying its dimensions with the entirety of the foundations excavated by dörpfeld. the old temple of athena polias is often dated to 510/500 bc. there are many speculations that the old temple of athena was rebuilt by the athenians once they took over athens again. frazer and michaelis believe that the temple was not the old temple of athena but, a new temple in the same location where the erechtheion stood. there were other scholars that did not agree with dörpfeld's suggestion that the old temple of athena was rebuilt and that the building was destroyed. bates believes that dörpfeld is correct with his discovery of the architecture and that it was indeed rebuilt. ferrari mentions that bates took dörpfeld's side on his excavation for lost treasure in the old temple of athena, but the temple was not built right away as dörpfeld thought it was. pericles (495-429 b.c.) who was a general and a politician to athens citizens was the one who convinced the athenian people to rebuild the temples of athena. he suggested to the athenians not to have the location be a pile of rubble where the temple once stood because that could offend the gods. it remains controversial whether a partial restoration of the temple followed the persian sack of 480 bc. herodotus mentions a west-facing "megaron" on the acropolis. this reference, as well as a structure listed in an inscription, has been interpreted as evidence that the opisthodomus of the old temple remained in place through the fifth century. xenophon states that the old temple of athena burned down in 406/405 bc, but this might also refer to the erechtheion, which had taken over the functions of the old temple and housed the xoanon. from the 4th century bc onwards, there are no possible references to the old temple; pausanias was not aware of its existence.
