Abstract: Religion and belief concepts accompanied human in the adventure that they lived throughout history. The religion phenomenon within the culture, which was transferred to future generations by developing and accumulating, is quite important. Humankind built their first religious buildings in coordination with the need to shelter. These sanctuaries, which were generally defined as temples until the emergence of divine religions, were turned into central economic Powers with the compensations granted. Their economic powers and oracles activities they applied based on prophecy enabled their political effects to emerge at the same time together with religion. This system was seen to settle especially in Western Anatolia. In the background of struggles between Persian-Lydia and Persian-Greek, effects of temples on politics attract the attention. However, Ancient Greek temples never transformed into institutions above politics. Temples were rather purported as an advisory council.
