Other descriptions

The Temple of Apollo at Didyma . Reliable information with an architectural slant (includes a site plan), from James Grout's Encyclopedia Romana, an eclectic florilegium of articles on Rome and the Roman world (see the site map or the index[1]for an idea of the contents).

Suda: Branchidae. (trans. Joseph McAlhany). Entry sympathetic to Alexander's destruction.

Bible places presents some attractive photos, decent text and a good list of links to mostly tourism-related websites.

Places of Peace and Power. Nice picture.

Wikipedia: Didyma. A "stub" or minimal entry; soon modern "pagans" will take this over and fill it with nonsense about the Mother Goddess.

Travelogues

Travelogue with good photographs by Fritz and Marie Schneider.

Images
