To the right of the Parthenon as you see it from the Propylaea stood the sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia. This was a precinct without a temple but it boasted a bronze statue of Artemis by Praxiteles, as well as offerings to the goddess (especially women’s robes, since Artemis was the patron goddess of expectant mothers). There was also a huge bronze rendering of the Trojan Horse with life-size Greek heroes peeking out of it. Only a few steps carved on the rock remain of this sanctuary. To its right stood the Chalkotheke (Bronze store), a simple structure that was contemporary with the Parthenon. It was used to store bronze dedications (especially weapons, shields, and statues of Nike or owls, the sacred bird of Athena).
