Q1: How does the sanctuary in Athens differ from the one in Corinth?

[Answer]

Corinth lies to the south west of Athens.

It was an important city close to the sea and it had a large sanctuary next to the marketplace.

In this case there is no acropolis. The temple was built in the Sanctuary of Apollo in 540 BC. It has 6 x 15 columns, each 4m high. It also has a double cella, one opening west, one opening east.
