The Library and Temple of Ephara Sophia

To the southwest of the square of the Filakes, the temple of Ephara Sophia stands as the main temple of magicians and philosophers in honor of the goddess, knowledge and magic. The sober temple surrounded by a garden, keeps in its front four sculptures of allegories of magic, philosophy, civilization and humility, treated as servant of Ephara. The pediment of the temple has an enormous face of the goddess surrounded by thamaturgists and warriors, placing the same Kings of Meletis the closest to the divine effigy.
The interior is divided into two buildings, temple and library, of similar style. The temple itself, like the Pyrgnos of Meletis, hosts discussion groups on Philosophy, politics, magic and other more mundane topics around the marble sculpture of the goddess, from whose amphora, thanks to some kind of magical effect, Nyx itself seems to fall like a waterfall, melting into the air. Behind two marble arches, the temple opens onto the rooms of the library, built on two floors that house a continuous shelf where dozens of books, scrolls, and tubes are accumulated in an orderly fashion. The librarians act as priests of the temple and assist with questions or references to any teacher who can help the querent. Each section is decorated with the face of the goddess in marble reliefs. The librarians claim that Ephara speaks through the effigies if the person is considered of sufficient importance to the divinity.
