' aeoI oglcal dlsco~'enes made by chan.ce .In the course of bUlldll1g operations, particularly during the last ten years. Thanks to thIS unprecedented bUlldll1g boom, new information has been gathered which allows us to understand the la\'-out of almost the whole of the ancient cit\,. In 1960 I published a general study on the deYelopment of the city-plan of Athens in which the lay-out of the city was given in various key periods of its history, from the establishment of the first settlers down to our own times. I haye always had in mind, ho\\'ever, the preparation of a special study referring principally to the area and the monuments of the ancient city from an architectural point of view and based on the results of the latest excavations and my own observations o\-er the last forty years. In the present book, Pictorial Dictiol/ary of AI/cimt Athms, I present all the new disco\'eries and the yarious theories that have been expressed about them as well as my own conclusions. I should like to thank most warmly the President of the German .\rchaeological Institute, Professor Kurt Bittel, and also my friend, Professor Emil Kunze, formerly Director of the German Archaeological Institute in Athens, for the honor which they did me in asking me to write this book as one of the series of Institute publications. The publication has been undertaken by the well known publishing house Ernst \\'7a smuth, Tubingen, and its director, :-fr. Gi.inther \'i'asmuth, a friend of arts and letters, has taken the greatest pains over the appearance of the book. I began collecting photographs, preparing plans and writing the text in 1965, but the time at my disposal wa limited because of other obligations. I was able to bring the work to completion, howeYer, through the strong support of my friend Professor Homer A. Thompson who obtained lea\'e of absence for me from my work at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens and at the same time an jl1\-itation to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton for the academic year 1967-1968 where I finally finished the job. I should like to offer my warmest thanks to Professor Thompson and also to Professor Carl Kaysen, Director of the Institute at Princeton, for their support. .' . ~fy Greek text in its final form was handed over to an American archaeologist fot translatIOn Into Enghsh. On her personal request she wants to remain anonymous. The architecht]\[r. \\'. Hoepfner, took care of th German version. To both lowe many thanks for their trulj' accurate rendering of my Their success is not onh' to their knowledge of Greek but mainly to their knowledge of the topograph) and monuments ot .\thens .lI1d

But if low thanks to the German Institute for reali/ing the puhlication of this work, lowe a more special d bt of gratitude- to th G re k \rchacological ~erdce .lOd to the \rchaeological Society of Athens which n rou h prm id d not onh the permission but also the means for conducting excavations and imestigatiom t "ariou arch.1 ologic.ll sites in \thcn.. Ther also allowed me to usc in m\ stud) the results of excavations conduct d b\' ,.uious colleagu s as ,\ ell a, the right to republish photographs of archaeological discoveries. :\mong th se colkagu', .lr' included successi\'e Directors of the .\cropolis, Messrs. 1. ~Iiliadis, .t". Platon and G. Dontas, th Dir ctor of the '\;ational \rchaeological i\1u eum, Mr. B. Kallipolitis, the Director of the Epigra. phicll "Ius urn, \lrs. K. Pepp.lDelmousou, and the Ephors of the Third "\rchaeological District of Athens, "lr.Ph.:tanopoullos and the .:\llsses B.Philippaki, .\.Andriomenou, and O.Alexandri. To all of these I give mv mo t especial thanks. For providing photograph for publication I am further grateful to the Trustees of the Briti h .:\Iuseum, to the Berlin .:\Iu. urn, to the .\merican School of Classical Studies, to the former Director of the Agora Excavations, "fr. H,"\. Thompson and to :\1iss \lison hantz. In the List of Illustrations the source of each photograph is noted, and the names of the archaeologists and photographers who were so kind a to giYC me prints from their personal files arc recorded. A great man) of the photograph come from the im aluable collection of the German Archaeological Institute, and a certain number have been prodded by the Director of the Kc.rameikos Excavations, \Ir. F. Willemsen, and his colleagues the architects :\Iessrs. G. Gruben and W. Hoepfn r, \\hom I would speciall) thank. The text of the Dictional:.> consists of eighty chapten in which are included monuments, temples, sanctuaries and yarious other buildings of anciem Athens that haye been disco\ ered and can be certainh' . identified, or which I think can be identified. Other topic, of which there is a large number, are simply memioned or noticed briefly with bibliographical references in the chapters dealing \\ ith the topography of.\thens in general..-\ a result the reader will ha\'e to look up these topics in the general index at the end of the volume which is the work of :\fis E. Brandt and ~1iss A. Kokkou. In each chapter and for each special topic bibliographical references arc gi\en. These refer mainl) to recem studies, but an exception has been made for certain old books that comain Yaluable information as well as for those that hare extensi\'e earlier bibliographies.-\s a basic principle we haye tried to include those pll blications which describe and identify the monument immediately after their disco\ery. In the difficult task of compiling the bibliograph) I haye receiyed im aluable assistance from :\[iss .-\. Kokkou. he has also willingly assi ted me in the whole process of publication of the pres or book.

1 Butldins- of the west side of the .-\gora in the 2nd cemury after Christ. Restored drawing. part of .-\thens where the whole life of the city was concentrated, the focus of political, commerCIal, SOCIal and administrati\-e activity, was called the Agora. 1Iuch written information about the Agora has c~me down to us, both in the ",-orks of ancient authors and in inscriptions; the verr best description is that ot Pau anias, written around the middle of the 2nd century after Christ, which furnishes a guide for recognizing and identifying the buildings which have been brought to light. The location of the .-\gora north of the Acropolis and the Areopagus was established in the last century b J various small-scale exca\-ations undertaken by the Greek Archaeological Society (1859-1912) and by the German .-\rchaeological Institute (1896-189-). Chance finds also contributed information and the most important of these came from a trench opened up for the Athens-Piraeus railroad in 1891. The American School of Classical rudies has uncovered the whole _Agora, carrying our systematic excavations from 1931 until the present with an interruption of six !-ears during the war, at first under the direction of Theodore Leslie Shear (1931-1940), later directed by Homer A. Thompson (1946-1967), and by Theodore Leslie Shear, Jr. since 196 . Although the excavated buildings are in a most ruinous state, it has been possible not only' to reconstruct the plans and to identify them with certainty but also to establish the history and the topography of the whole area. Recent excavation have produced e,'idence to show that the Ite was chosen for the Agora at the beginning of the 6th century B.C. in the time of Solon and that it continued to exist in the same spot for about eight hundred and fifty years until the Herulian destruction in 26 7 after Christ. The earlier Agora, founded by Theseus after the S)'nolktsIJlOS, was a much simpler affair without a definite plan and was probably located below the Acropolis and the Peripatos on the northwest ide of the hill. This is the Old .\gora about which .\pollodoros (Harpokration, ITriVO'1/10; ',!rFQOOITTj) states: "The Athenians called the Aphrodite established in the neighbourhood of the Old c\gora Pandemos, because there in olden times the whole people (the Demos) met ior their assemblies which they called agorai." According to Pausanias (1, 22, 3) the shrine of \phrodite Pand mos wa founded by Theseus and, in my opinion, it was located in front of the entrance to the .\cropolis, fig. 5..\ - for the Prytaneion, which according to tradition was founded by Theseus (Thucydidc s II, 15, 1 3; Plutarch, Tbmlls 24), Pausanias fixes its site with sufficient precision, referring to it twice in his rour through \then:. first he sa\'s that it is near to the shrine of Aglauros and to the "\nakeion (1, 18, 1 3); sccondh he s;l\ ~ that it is at the b~ginnjng of the Street of Tripods (r, 20,1). This means that the Old l\gora_e:-.tmdcd fro~l th shtine oL\ph~o dite Pandemos as far as the I::.leusinion (p. 198) on the lower north slope ot the \cropohs and the street which has been dic,covered there; this street branching ofT from the Panathcnaic \\ a\ rna) be identified, in m! opinion.
with the Street of the Tripods .
~GORA: . The

AGORA

Th gora of Th sem, where building ",ent on continuously until the end of the 7th century B.C., comprised th follo\\ ing shrino and public buildings. To the west of the\cropolis, between the Lnneapylon and the r opagus: the shrine of .\phrodlte Pandemos and its precinct where the Assembly of the People met, the hrin . of Bl.lllt , of Den1Lter Chloe, of Ge Kourotrophos, the Kyloneion and probably the Bouzygion; the f mous court of the _\r opagus was on the hill of the same name. To the north of the Acropolis and in the area around the Elcusinion, belo,I' the age-old revered shrines of Apollo, of Zeus, of Aglauros and the Anakeion, w r th mor important ci, ic buildings such as the Prytaneion where the perpetual fire was kept and where ambassadors and those rendering the state great services dined at public expense. 'X'e learn from Aristotle (A/h. Pol. 3, 5) and Suidas (iiex('il') that the buildings in which the nine archons were housed were close to the Prnaneion. Thus the Archon Basileus had his headquarters in the so-called Boukoleion which was near , the Prytandon; the Archon was in the Prytaneion, the Polemarch in the Epilykeion, and the remaining six archons, the The mothetae, in the Thesmotheteion which was also used as a state dining-hall. In the Panathenaic procession the Panathenaic Ship followed a route which shows, in my opinion, that there were important public buildings n ar the Elcusinion; the entire procession went right around the Elcusinion, according to ancient tradition, in order to pass in front of the most important public buildings of the Old Agora, fig. 540. W'ith the continuous deyclopment of the city, especially after the union with Eleusis around the end of the 7th century B.C., the power of the Athenian tate was definitely established. The needs of the capital city multiplied and its boundaries were expanding continuously. Because of this increase in the power of the city and because of the new needs of the administrative bodies the Agora ,,'as moved or, to put it more precisely, was extended to the north by alan; later on Peisistratos and his successors contributed to it, constructing new buildings. The most important administrative buildings were put up in the time of Kleisthenes to\vard the end of the 6th century B.C. The new Agora occupied the spacious level area east of the Kolonos Agoraios, between the Areopagus and the Eridanos river, that is to say the area where the oldest cemeteries of the city lay, those of ~Ircenaean, Submycenaean and Geometric times, figs. 5-17. From prehistoric times on this ,,'as the place where the _\thenians came together to celebrate fe tivals and to hold contest in honour of their heroes and ancestors . .\t the beginning of the 6th century B.C. the Athenians in talled their official ci\"ic centre in this area which \\'as free of other buildings. Here for centuries the Athenians continued to hold athletic, dramatic, musical and equestrian contests in honour of the dead and of the gods. By far the most important festival celebrated in the Agora ,,-as the Panathenaia, probably founded in the time of Theseus in honour of the patron goddess of the city, Athena Polias. Pherecydes reports (Marcellinus, T'da Thucydidis 3 in Jacoby, F. G. H. I, pp. 59-60) that Hippokleides, who served as archon in 566 565 B.C., founded the Panathenaia. He is referring, doubtless, to the Greater Panathenaia which Peisistratos and his sons made famous, elevating it into one of the greatest religious festi,'als; on this account one tradition attributed the founding of the Greater Panathenaia to Peisistratos himself (Schol. Aristeides, PallalbenaiCIIs, \"01. III, p. 323). During the celebration of that great festival the procession crossed through the Agora by its principal thoroughfare which started at the Dipylon and ended up in front of the Propy laia. The section of the road inside the Agora ser\"ed as the dromos where various races and equestrian events were held, and for this reason the Panath l1aic \'Vay is often simply referred to under the name of Dramos. Himerios refers to the Dromos (Oralio, III. 12) and I believe that three inscriptions found on the Acropolis refer to the construction and repair of th' Dromoo (Raubitschek, Dedications, pp. 350-358, nos. 326-328). The first inscription, fig. 18, is dated to 566 565 B.C., i.e. in the archonship of Hippokleides when the Greater Panathenaia were celebrated for the fir~t tim' .1I1d th athletic contest was introduced (Emebius, J herol!)lllli CbrOlll(OIl, cd. Ilelm, p. 102; S, ncellm, ld. Dindorf, p. 454, line 8). The prizes for the victors in the Panathlnaic conte~ts were Panathenaic amphorae fill d"l\ ith ad. and the earliest Panathcnaic amphorae have beln indepenckntlr dated to the decade 570 560 B.C., fi~. _3 (Be.lll I. Il'r, p. 89, no. 1). The Dromos of the Agora mu~t have begun a little to the north of the Peril olo~ oi the '1'"1\ ch Gods, fi~. 5, in front of the J Ierms and it ended Jlear the Eleusinion.

C l' . R. L) At'Gt"H" is usually called the Roman Agora to distinguish it from the Agora f th Gr k p riod xca\'at d b\ .\mcrican archaeologists, Since, however, its special purpose was to serve tradin~ c ntre, it should be called the commercial Agora or, more precisely, the commercial section of the gora. That i~ to sa~, ~ince the commercial district has ,not b:en found anywhere in the American Excavations of the _ gora, w th r fore con. ide r that the ca. tern ~Ide ot the Agora IS not defined by the Stoa of Attalos but that th .\gora xtended farth r to the cast, as far as the Horologion of Andronikos, Only on this assumption is it possihle to account for the fact that there was so much free. pace available for the construction of the Roman .\gora and other public bUlldlI1gs such as the Horologion of Andronikos, the Agoranomion, the public

latrin, and th Librar~ of Hadrian, fig. 39. The ar a ,,-her the Roman Agora was built is without doubt e"tremely important. It is situated near the Old .'\gora founded by Theseus (pp. I 2); the \, hole region comprising the Old Agora and the Agora founded by olon and the area later occupied by the Roman Agora must have been a single indivisible unit, fig, 28, until at least a late as the 2nd centur! B,C. when the Stoa of Attalos was built. From the earliest times, in fact, there was probably a pecial section, to the north of the Old gara and near to it, to serve the commercial needs of the city and there too were other public buildings and lawcourts, Here too, in this area around the Roman Agora, were probably the shrines mentioned by Pausanias (1, 18, 4-5) such as the shrine of Sarapis, the temple of Eileithyia, and the place where Theseus and Peirithoos were supposed to have made their covenant, This entire region was also called the Agora, as we learn from a great many passages in ancient authors mentioning the special sections where different kinds of victuals were sold, Howe\-er, it may be that ju t as the western part of the A.gora was customarily called the Kerameikos so the eastern part also had its own name. \\e identify the eastern part of the Agora as Eretria, the namc handed down by Strabo (X, 447). Before the excavations of the Roman Agora only the monumental Doric propylon, the Gate of Athena Archegetis, was vi ible, figs. 40-41. \-ery early on, howe\'er, the discovery was made that this ,,-as the entrance to a large rectangular colonnade, the columns of which appeared in the cellars of the houses \\'hich covered the whole area. C. Botticher conducted a mall-scale excavation in the southwest corner of the building in 1862. In 1 90 the Greek Archaeological ociety began sy tematic exca\'ations and found the southeast corner and the eastern propylon. The excavations were continued in 1931, 1942, and 1955, and finally in 1965 and 1966 the excavations were resumed and the clearing of the southern half of the building "'as completed. The building is 111 m. long; the width was originally estimated at 87 m. on the assumption that the Gate of Athena :\rchegetis was on the axis of the peristyle. After the most recent excavations the width \\'as found to be 98 m. and consequently the Doric propylon is not on the axis of the peristyle. The plan of the Roman Agora was simple, a great open-air rectangular court, surrounded by a colonnade behind which were stoas or rooms used for shops. In the centre of the south side of the colonnade a small fountain house is preserved and also a stair connecting the Roman Agora with the higher stre t level in back. The foundations and the walls are made of rectangular blocks of Piraeus poros; the steps, st) lobate, column drums of the peristyle and the antae are of grey-blue H ymettos marble, and the remaining architectural m mbers ar~ white Pentelic marble. The careful workmanship and the total absence of mortar in the joints date the bUlldlIlg t~ eat~y ~oman times. This date is confirmed by the imcription on the architra'T of the Doric propdo n . From the lIlSCrIptlon (1. C. 112 3175) we learn that the donors were (aefar and, after 27 B.C., . \ugustus, <lnd that the People of Athens dedicated it to Athena Archegetis in the archonship of Tikias dating to 11 10 or 10 9 H.C.

the Roman A~ora arc the ruins of a building which is customarill' called the "\goranomion 'yen thou~h there is no positive proof whatsoever for such an identification. The building stands 4.71 m. higher than the lel'el of the propylon and a broad stairway leads up to it, fig 47. The "'alls of this huildi ng arc or poras ashlar masonry; the main fa<;ade, on the west side, has three doorways \\'ith monolithic s 'micircular lintels, fi~. 46. The step on which the doors tand, the antae and the semicircular arch s arc or]" m rtian marble; the anta capitals and the entablature for the whole building arc of white Pentdic nurblc.
(II'

l"'O~1l0:-': Facin~ the ca~tcrn plOpl Ion

Th ground plan of the buildin~ has not yet been ascertained, since both the cast and south sides lie concealed in une,cayated terri ron. Exca\'ation carried deep down inside the building has failed to reveal any traces of foundations, a di\'iding \\"all, or column bases. It is, however, possible to calculate the width of the fa<;ade, since the central doon\'ay must lie on the axis of the building. It is also known that there was an adjoining room on the north side of the building, but because of the great difference in floor levels there was no direct communication betw en the two. On II' one inscribed block of the entablature, no. 3, has remained in its original place. Three similar blocks, approximately twice as \\'ide, arc known, figs. 4 7 -48. Of these, nos. 2 and 4 were found near the building and no. 7, fig. , 50, is on the .\cropolis \\'est of the Parthenon. Since blocks nos. 2, 3, and 4 yield a continuous text, their places on the building can be determined. The position of no. 7 may also be exactly determined, for this block preseryes the end of the inscription. Furthermore, the order of the pryholes on the upper surfaces of the emicircuJar arches makes it possible to recover the order of the entablature blocks. The beginning of the inscription, now missing, would have contained the name of this building which was dedicated to Athena Archegetis and to the dil/i A'(r,tlsti as was the western propylon of the Roman Agora; it appears to ha\'e been an important public building of the mid-1st century after Christ. The identification with the .\goranomion, first proposed by P. Graindor in 1927, is based on another inscription which refers to the Agoranomion. The Agoranomion inscription is on a semicircular arch, fig. 51, which at first glance bears a close resemblance to the arches of the building under discussion. 1\e\'ertheless, a closer comparison of the profile and dimensions conclusively demonstrates that the Agoranomion inscription comes from another building. The semicircular arch with the Agoranomion inscription, 1. G. IF 3391 dated to 140-145 A.D., was found near the western propylon of the Roman Agora. Since the other two imcriptions (1. G. IF 3238 and 360?) associated with the Agoranomion "\\'ere also found at this spot, one should look for the Agoranomion there, in front of the Gate of Athena Archegetis along the road connecting the Roman Agora ,,'ith the main Agora.

: B\ the nd of th 18th cmtun' scholars had located the sitt: of the :\cadem\, fig. 53, to th we t of th cit in th Out r K rameiko~ ncar Kalona. Hippios on the basis of informatIon prcscn'ed in anCient author. In tud ing th topograph\ of the .:\cadcm\ toda1" we ha,-c not onh- the anCIent texts but also concrete evidence, thank to the -cav,Hion, carried out b\ the private donor P, .\ristophron from 1929 to 1940; these excaution ~ r dir t d b\ K. Kourouniotl and spon.ored by the Academy of \then -, \fter a long inten al the c ca,a rion w r r. umed in 195~ and continued until the present, directed b\ Ph. _tavropoullos and financed b~ the Gr k Archa ological :: ocien', The .\cad m\ ,,-ith all of its various establishments occupied a large quadrilateral area, 450 300 metres, tig. 41-. .\t the nd of th 6th centur~ B.C. thi. area wa. apparently enclosed bv a wall which has been attributed to Hipparchos (_uidas, TO 'IrTOf!/.Ol TEIXIOl'). 'othing of this early wall has been found, but the remain ofa 'en' much later pr cinct wall yield valuable information as to the extent of the Academy, even though it holds good onlv for later times. The remains of the ea. tern and. outhern line of thi later precinct "'all 'were dl covered n ar the church of St. Tryphon and a section of the ,,-e tern line of the wall, strengthened by buttre ses, has been found at the present-day Telephanou. t. 0:0 traces of the northern line of the wall have been found up until now; it hould follo,,- the south ide of an old rural lane, now called Aimonos St. Here we have a fixed point, for in December of 1966 a boundary stone was found In situ near the southeast corner of Aimonos and Tripoleos treet; the inscription on it dated circa 500 B,C. reads h6_'eo~ Ti; hE><ar5E,LlEla:, fig. 57. Thi boundary stone is of the greatest importance, because it is the first pi ce of incontroyertible evidence for the site of the .\cademy, it fixe the nor thea t corner of the site, and not only that, this inscription formally confirms the ancient name handed down by Diogenes Laertius (lII, -): Hekademeia from Hekademos the first settler who was worshipped there as a hero. The cult of Hekademo in this district does, indeed, seem to go back a long way in time. A .figure on a sherd of the econd quarter of the 6th century B.C., fig. 5 ,found in the Athenian .\gora, is identified by a dip into which has been restored to read H EKrl.[ JH.lIOE by Beazle\" (AB r -, p. T, no. 36); ".-irh rhe disco...-ery of the boundary tone this reading is all the more com,-incing. Furthermore, the wor hip of Hekademo i to be as ociated with the age-old shrines to which .\pollodoros refer (chol. ophocles, Oedipus CO/Of/ellS, 56, -0-+) and which, in my opinion, stood within a special good-sized sanctuary by the entrance to the .\cademy, The statue and altar of Eros dedicated by Charmos, the friend of Hippias, must ha,-e stood here and al 0 the altar of Prometheus and Hephaistos which was the starting point for the torch race. Other shrines and altars mentioned by ancient authors may have been in this area, uch as the altar of the ::\fuses, the shrine and altar of Athena specially venerated as the patron godde s of the Academy, and the tweh-e mOT/oi or sacred oli,-e tr es. and probably the altars of Zeus Morios or Kataibates, and of Hermes, and of Herakles. The excavations have shown that the area of the Academy was first settled in 0:eolithic times, a ,\-a. th cin of .-\thens. 0:eolithic, Early Helladic and Middle Helladic pottery has been found west of the precinct ,,-all of th Academy, where excavations reached a depth of 6 to 6.50 m. The richest finds were in the Early Helladic lenl where in 1955 the remains of a small apsidal house were found, fig. 52. Ph. Stanopoullos identified it a~ the house of Hekademos; near it was a building of the Geometric period constructed of sun-dried brick ,\'hich he called the" acred House" assuming that it had been built to inaugurate the cult in honour of the fir~t founders and heroes, fig. 62. Prehistoric remains have also been found in the region of the church of 'to Tn phon" h r there wa a considerable settlement in Middle Helladic and Late Helladic period.. \\ ithin the precinct wall of the Academy, the large gnnnasium comple" and a part of th . qu,ue penst\ I to th north have been excavated. The central section of the gymnasium compl x, fig.. 59-61, consi,ts of .1 I.lr~' rectangular court, with a rectangular area in the middle for the palaestra and an oblong r'~ 'r\ oir to the north for the athletes' baths. Oblong closed halls adjoined the court on the cast. south and ,,'cst sides; on th Inn~1 tudinal axis of each of these halls a row of foundations for sguare ba~es sct at rcgular intcr\ .ds h.ls been f()un l.

The large square perist \' It is dated to Ihe second half of Ihe 41 h cUltury B.C. ; only the conglomerate foundations for th columns h,\\'e been found up until now.

Seventy small fragments of honorary decrees dating from the -tth cemur)- B.C. to Roman times wcre found scattered throughout the whole area of this building. R cent linds made by Ph. Stanopoullos include the writing tablets of the students, found ncar the section of the pr 'cinct \\'all with the buttresses. Among hundreds of slate tablets only twenty have letters inci~ed by a pointed instrum nt, J-ig. 64. nother important discovery in this area is a relief which has on one side Athena wearing a helmet and holding a spear, and on the other jV[arsyas with a youth. From time to time various strucrur s, wells, graves, and a great quantity of sculpture, fig. 63, have been found to the west of the Academy and on either side of the preselll-day road which leads to the Kephisos river. The region of Athens called the ;\cademy was at no time limited to the area \\'ithin the precinct wall. It was surrounded by gardens and gro\'es and in 3 8 B.C. Plato established his famous school in the district between the Academy and Hippios Kolonos and other schools and institutions were installed around about the gymnasium. The Academy enjO\'ed great fame throughout antiquity and was still flourishing in the time of the Emperor julian and during the whole period of the eo-Platonic philosophers until 529 A.D. when by decree of rhe Emperor justinian all the educational institutions in Athens were closed. The destruction of the Yarious buildings of the Academy began then and in the course of time the ruins were buried to a depth of 2-2.50 In. under the silt from the f.::ephisos.

Th \\ork ofuncoH'ring and displa)ing the monument~ of the Acropolb by demolbhin~ all of the I constructions and rem()\jng the medial" al and later accumulations of earth began in 1834. During r '-sc 1 t: a,ations of 1885 1891, the .\cropolis was cle<lred down to bedrock and prehbtoric remains for th first time. The old,,~t circuit wall of the cropo!ts, built of large pieces of Acropolis limem to li~ht , ton in th C\ clop .In manner, \\ a~ found at that time and it was correctly identified with the Pelargikon or PI. -ikon m ntioned b\ the ancient authors. The scientific re~ults of the e cavations were, however, minimal, for at that tim no ckar chronological distinctions were made. It is onl) during the past fift} year that Greek, Italian, American .wd German scholars ha, e produced scientific observations on the prehistoric Acropolis ba. d on SY. t(matic exca, ations and exploration all over the entire area. The (vidence from these e).cavations shows that the first inhabitants settled on and around the Acropolis in the ! ' olithi period circa 5000 B..\t the northwest angle of the hill ncar the KlLps) dra twenty-two hallow well containing gr at quantitie. of co lithIc pott t) hav been found. On the south side of the Acropolis, ncar the Asklepieion, the ruins of a little house of the same period have been found, and much Neolithic pott n ha. b en found oyer the \\'hole ar a on and around the Acropolis, either in the hollows of the rock or mixed in with lat r fillings. The unbroken. eries of Early Helladic, Miodle I Ielladic and Late Helladic pottery shows that th city \Va. continuousl} inhabited in prehistoric times, fig. 67. Just a other prehistoric towns, Athens reached a zenith in the Late Helladic period. In Athens the beginning of thi p riod may be dated appro),imatcly to the late 15th- ad} 14th century B.C. A palace complex ,vas built on the Acropolis, occupying the summit of the hill between the sites later belonging to the Parthenon and the Erechtheion; this group of buildings contained the Ii, ing quarters for the king and the first administrati,- building and shrines. At that time th re \\ as no fortification wall as such, but the outer retaining wall for the terraces of the palace building \\ ould ha\-e served as a J...ind of surrounding wall en uring the safety of the palace. R main of these terrace walls ha" e been preserved all along the north and west ides of the palace. C ing the e boundarie in reo toring the plan of the whole palace complex, fig. 67, we havoc also defined the boundarie to the east and south on the principle that the whole ar a mu t hayc contained the sites of the mo. t important hrine and temple of later timcs. The main entrance to the palac must ha\ e been at the we. t where the g nde slope afforded an cas, ascent and encouraged thc construction of a road. It was the onh road leading dO\\'Jl from the cropolis and e),acdy the same route cominued in use throughout ancient tim's and thc Middlc ges, and even during thc years of the Turkish occupation when the \\-hole hill \\'a. coyer d with hou e . In prehi toric timcs therc wa. al. 0 a ste p path leading up to thc Acropolis on the north slop through a ravinc, fig. 68, and apparently it I d to a back entrance to the palace on its east sid. Threatened b} the dang r of the Dorian inyasion, the theni.ms \\ ere dri\-en to fortif\ the Acropolis in th second half of thc 13th centur) B.C. At that time thC) built the Pelargil.on or Pelasgikon \\-all \\'ith a rhicJ...ne s of as much as 5 mctrc at some poillls. The narrow old bac!' entrance on the north sid w'nt out of us', but it was r placed by a po tern gate also on the north side a little farthcr LO the \\-cst, leading- do\\-n ro th' caves bc.:low. The main entranc continued to be at thc wcst, now guarded b) a high bastion. For gre,lter se urit\. this bastion and the whole western part of the era! oli. where the slope is less precipitous \\"ere protected b\ a second \\all which the ancient author. also called Pelargihon or Pelasgil.on. This second \\-all '\"as at th' foot of the hill, enclosiJlg thc west side and a lillie of the adjoining ~ections of the north a.nd south sIt pes. This outwork was also called EnneaI' Jon; in addition to securing th .\ ropolis it enclos d t\\ 0 somces of drinJ...ing water, the Askkpieion spring (I'. J 3H) and the kleps) ora (p.. 23). In the course ot fortit\ IIlg the \nopolis the Athenian discovered yet .lnOlhlr spring on the north slope helow the Frechtheion d"p \\ ilhin th' Col\ ' of J\glauro and the} built an interior st.lirway so that the spring' could b' Il'.lched trom the \cropolis .lbo' e for upphc of fresh water (I'. 72).

metric period ha\'e been found, fl/-:. 67. Today it i~ difficult and otten 'ven impossible to follow the early architectural d 'yclopment~ on the, \cropolis, lor on the one hand the great temples constructed in the 6th and 5th centuri 'S 13.C. h,tYe concealed the remains of earlier buildings, fig. 71, and on the other hand the excavations of the last centut\ went down to bedrock and eliminated any traces which may have been present, J fowever, it i~ po~sible to picture the appearance of the temples of the 6th century B.C., aided by the finds from the ' ... c\\ation~, terraCOlla roof tiles, figs. 72-77, and many fragmel1ls of paras and marble architecture, sculpture and inscriptions, fig~. 78-87, which the . \thenian~ had reveremly collected and buried when they decided to rebuild their shrine~ in the 5th cemury B.C. Terracolla anrefixes and simas dated to the end of the 7th century H.C. show that the .\cropolis had importam buildings in the early archaic period. Much of the poras archite~ ture and pediment ~culpture seems to belong 10 a class of monuments called oikcma/a in the inscriptions, Although their foundations haye not been found, it is probable that Building C and Building E were to the west of the Parthenon and thal Building B was on the site where the Pinakotheke of the Propylaia afterwards stood (p. 482).There ,,'ere certainly at least two great temples dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of the city, the old peril tetal temple of .t\thena (529-520 B.C.), the foundations of which arc preserved to the south of the Etechtheion (p. 143), and the IIekatompedon (570-566 B.C.) probably on the site where the Parthenon was built (p. 258). The Mycenaean wall continued to c;ncircle the Acropolis bur in the course of time it ceased to be important as a fottification wall. In 566 B.C. the upper part of the Mycenaean bastion at the west entrance was demolished and on the occasion of the founding of the Panathenaic festival an altar to Athena Nike was set on the bastion. \\ hen the upper part of the Mycenaean bastion was demolished the Mycenaean fortified gate must haye gone our of u e and in its place the Athenians built a monumental entrance through which the Panathcnaic ptocession passed (p, 482). The Peisistratids used the Acropolis as theit headquarters and place of refuge; at the end of the 6th century B.C., after they had been driven out, the Acropolis ceased to be used as a fott and belonged solely to the gods. Ftom that time on great new buildings were designed within the framework of a single new atchitectural scheme fot the whole Acropolis; the plan ,\'as set in motion after the notable victory of the Athenians at l\farathon in 490 B.C. The building of the first marble Patthenon must haye begun at this great moment in history and at this time magnificent Prapylaia replaced the old I ycenaean entrance. \,'hen the Persian invadets returned in 480 B.C., the walls of the Acropolis were no longer capable of sustaining an attack, fot the Athenians had partly removed them in order to show off the temple to better advantage and, at some places, had totally demolished the wall, as on the south side because of the work on the fOU11dations of the Older Parthenon. It was precisely on this account, as O. Walter observed, that the Delphic oracle recommended the "wooden walls" i. e. boats to the Athenians. onetheless, many of the inhabitants interpreted the oracle differently and fortified the Acropolis with wooden barricades which the invaders easilv felled; they became masters of the Acropolis, plU11der

ing, destroying, and setting lire to the shrines. After the victory at Salamis and the expulsion of the Persians in 480/479 B.C. the Athenians, \\-ho ~rere busy with the fortification of the city and the harbours in the face of danger from an invasion by the LakedaJmol11an~, showed little intetest in rebuilding their destroyed shrines. Tradition records that they had sworn to leav.e theIr burned shrines in ruins in ordet to keep the memory of the enemy alive. An extensive programme tor the erection of new temples and other buildings began to take shape only after Kallias had signed a peace t~e\ty with the Persians at Susa in 448 B.C. and after a thirty years' peace with the Spartans had been secured. PetJkl~s was the leading spirit in rebuilding the monuments of the Acropolis and working with him wer.e the mo~t ~I nent architects, sculptors and artists, whose inspired compositions were carried out with envJabl p rt ctlon by anonymous craftsmen. Very solid retaining walls were among the first works to be carried out on the _\cropolis; they w're built to hold in the heavy earth fillings which were brought in to 1c\-e1 out Ihe Ul1t'\cn SUr!;ICC and, mor impottant, to enlarge the area of the Acropolis. The fact that age-old shrines anti altars \\-ere cO\'cred oyer in th process

IK ROPOII.l

in th . urfac I vel and that n w approaches 'were constructed shows us that we are in the pre nee of in I n warchit ctural design tor the whole area, based on a carcfull) drawn plan. Th n . t m I built for Ath na, the Parth non, dominates the "\cropolis and is ... isible from all m:er the city. Th Old T mple of Athcna was d moli'hed and in its place the J .rechtheion was built with the ite and dime~ i n cho. n 0 a: not to vie with the P.lfthenon. " ew Propvlaia were erected on the site of the older building, but with th axis align d differenth. The new orientation 'wa designed so that the vL itor passin?; through the Propy laia would imm diat h have a striking impression of the colossal statue of the -\thena Pro macho flanked bv h r two t mple.. fig. 612. The Chalkotheke, the shrine of Artemis Brauronia, other shrines, altar and a ho.'t of d dications and statues adorned the space around the D,\'O great temples. The temple of Athena _'ike 'was built on the :'fycenaean bastion in front of the Prop\laia. The r nneapylon di appeared and a new approach \\<1. constructed, a ramp 12 m. \dde and 80 m. long, beginning on the Panathenaic \\"ay and ending in front of th Prop~laia. In H 11 nistic and Roman times little \\'as added on the "-\cropolis, fig. 89. But around about the .-\cropolis and along the entire length of the Peripatos, \\ hich in a waY' formed the boundary of the sacred area, the ancient shrines were repaired and tempi s and other buildings \"ere erected, fig. 91. The danger of an inYasion by the Herulian. cau cd the Emperor \Talerian (253-260 A.D.) to take precautions in fortifying not only the lower city (p. 161) but also the Acropolis which for nearly eight hundred years had had no importance as a forr. At that time the \\'alls were repaired and the so-called Beule Gate was built in front of the Propylaia. Right through the Middle Ages the monuments of the cropolis remained \'irtually intact; the temples were com'erted into Christian churches with only minor changes. Destruction and decay et in at the middle of the 17th century and continued until the Greek \\'ar of Independence; directly after the liberation the Acropoli ceased to be a fort by royal decree on the 10th of February 1834, and the work of excayating and reconstructing the monuments began.

IKROPOJ.I,\: MYCbNAEAN SPRING HOUSE

In the course of excayating on the north slope of the Acropolis, O. Broneer found , &mon oth r important discoHrics, a hitherto unkno\"n spring in the cave of Aglauros, very far down, which h d be n u d for a yery short space of time in the l\f )cenaean period. The excavation of the cave was begun in peil 1937 and at that time a study 'was made of the stairway; there are cuttings in the rock for the suppOrt of wood n steps on ither side of the cleft. In antiquity this tairway was used throughout the centuries as a ret pa ,age and it was associated with a rite in which the Arrephoroi descended from the Acropolis and went to th n ighbouring ,hrine of Aphrodite in the Gardens (p. 228). Th ca,-c i really a natural, nearly Hrtical fissure, 1-2.50 m. wide, 18 m. high, and about 35 m. long. At the top of the fissure there is an entrance from the Acropolis just west of the House of the Arrephoroi and at the bottom there is an exit on to the north slope of the Acropolis, fig. 93. The recent excavations have revealed that the cleft goes much deeper down and that in it was a stairway by which people descended into the depths to draw water from a spring at the bottom, figs. 94-96. The newly discovered section of the stairway is made of large schist slabs resting on a rubble construction held in place by wooden beams. It comes to a stop at the juncture of the upper layer of Acropolis llme. tone with the underlying layer of marl. A well was opened up in this lov:er layer containing an underground yein of water; it is 9 metres deep with a diameter of 2 m. at the
PRI 'G HOUSE:

top and 4 m. near the bottom. The finds of Mycenaean pottery are most .-aluable for determining the date not only of the construction of the lower part of the stairway but also of the time ,,-hen the spring and the lower stairway went out of use. The pottery is dated in the second half of the 13th century B.C. and shows that the spring had a limited period of use of thirty to forty years, that it probably was destroyed by an earthquake and was abandoned after being coyered over with earth. The construction is contemporary with the programme for fortifying the Acropolis; it is one of the most ambitious works of the Mycenaean period in Athens and it is the first work officially undertaken to provide for the city water supply. Tradition evident!) presen-ed the memory of the spring for a long time and Plato was undoubtedly referring to this spring, as Broneer conjectures, in his description of the earliest city in the Critias (lllc). Then too, the worship of the nymph Aglauros within the cave indicates a dim memory of the vanished spring. 1897, pp. 26-32; O. BRoNEER, A Mycenaean Fountain on the Athenian Acropolis,

A IYNEJON

: Th pr cinct of th h alin~ hero Amynos, fi~s. 97~ 98, was found on the south slope of the Arcoin t 92 during excantion directed by W. DiJrpfeld for the German Archaeological Institute. This shrin dat to th 6th centun B.C., is not mentioned by ancient authors. It was securely identified on t i of mam "\ oti....e reliefs and inscriptions of the 4th centun B.C. found in the excavations; the inscripti n r f r to Am\nos.\.klepios and Dc'don (1. C. IP 1252, 1253,4365,4385,4422,4424,4435); an inscription of th Roman p riod abo refers to Hygieia (1. C. IJ2 4457). The Ltyl1loloJ!.icul1I Magnum (t1f~iOJv) records that Dexion is the name which the tragic poet Sophocles was given by the Athenians when he was made a hero after hi d ath for ha....ing \\-clcomed the god Asklepios, receiving him in his house and establishing an altar in hi honour. ophocl ' association "\, ith the Amyneion, in which he evidently set up the altar to Asklepios, is made dear b\" in.criptions (1. C. IP 1252. 1253). The pr cinct wall of the shrine, built of large limestone blocks in the poly gonal style, is at the corner of one of the densely inhabit d city blocks of this district. The entrance to the precinct gives on the road for wheeled traffic in the dirEction of the.\cropolis; in the beginning it was a simple gate but later, in Roman times when the le....el of the road ,,'as raised, the old gate was adorned with a marble fas:ade with two columns. The most acred spot in the shrine ,,'as the well, 4.10 m. in depth, with water thought to have healing properties. The poros well~curb is presen'ed and also terracotta pipes which apparently supplied the sacred well with water at a later date. The base of a marble offering table was found near the well. Around the offering table are scant remains of retaining walls which held in place the earth filling brought in to produce a le,'el terrace on the slope. It seems that there was no building or small temple and that it was an open-air shrine. Probably the only roofed area \,'as a simple toa with ,,'ooden columns tanding on stone base two of which have sur....iyed. Elsewhere within the hrine were bases on which the \'arious ....oti\"e offering ,,'ere placed. ome of these bases ha,'e now disappeared ,,"hue others ha,-e been mo....ed away from their original locations.

SHRI EOI' .\I'IIROOI1'E I h:(a~\(1NE \ \) 'l'1'~II'LE OF AI'IIHO\)I I'E ()UIIAN1A: [n 1892 a large inscribed altar of Hymettian marble. dedicaled in 197/1% H.c. to phrodite Ilegemone, the Demos and the Graces (I. C.IP 2798) \\"a~ di~ mercd ill .fifl/ at the 1'001 of Ihe north ~Iope of Kolonos Agoraios when a trench for the AthensPiLleus railroad line \\ ,l~ opened up, Other finds at the same place in lude various statue bases and the curved 1 'l~e of the Thria~ians fOllnd il/ .rtfl/ (I. G. IP 3864) and inscriptions referring to the shrine of Demos and the GLI e~ (I. (,. IP 8H, 908, 909, 987). In the Jrd centun H.C. this \\"a~ the site of an open-air shrine where Aphrodite Hegemone, the Demos and the G raC'~ \\ ere \\'orshippcd; at a later date the cult of Roma was added, as we learn from an inscription can'ed on on' of the 'eats in the Themre of Dionysos (I. C. IP 5047). There is nothing left of the shrine today, for direcrll after the altar and the bases \\"ere found e\'erything was removed in order to make way for the railroad track. Ho\\"e\T(, the plans drawn up in 1892 ha\'e preserved a record of the lindspots and investigations carried our in 19 6 and 1938 on either side of the railroad track by the Agora excavators have further defined the limits of the shrine, fig. 102. An ancient road leading from the Agora to the acred Gate forms the northern boundar)' of the precinct and the southern boundary is defined by the vertical scarp in the dill" which had been quarried out to a considerable depth in order to create a level area in which to install the shrine. \bo\e the scarp there is a rectangular bedding for a building of which some of the conglomerate foundations are presened; '\\'e belieye that it was the temple of Aphrodite Ourania. The temple of carll' Roman times is located at this spot on the basis of Pausanias' description (1, 14, 7). Architectural blocks, found while the railroad trench was being dug out, undoubtedly come from this temple and show that it was built of poros in the Doric order. The cult statue of Aphtodite Ourania, a work of Pheidias according to Pausanias, must haye srood in an earlier temple, a predecessor of the early Roman temple. An extraordinarily interestillg find came from a ,,'ell near the temple, a small marble herm, 0.32 m. high, representing Aphrodite Ourania, fig. 105. This little statue, dated to the mid-3rd centue) B.C., not only supports the identification of the extant remains as the temple of Aphrodite Ourania but also gives us an exact idea of the appearance of the cult statue (Pauanias I, 19, 2).

' The' t 'mI'l ' api cars to have stood until the middle of the 3rd century after Christ when it was demolished and its bloeb re-used as building material f I' the Valerian \,'all (p. 161). Four of the paras architectural members wer' found in and near the temple: a fragment of the eurhynteria, one stylobate block, the lowest drum of a column, and an anta capital. "\ great many tiny poros fragments of various architectural members, found at the sam' ri~1e around the foundations of the temple, show that the entire temple was of a hard compact paras, exc'pt tor the meta pes \\-hlch probably were of marble as were the simas and roof tiles. Since, remarkably enough, no colour at all \\'as presen-ed on any of the architectural elements, the temple may have had no painted d coration. l..:p until the present the excavations have yielded no conclusive evidence as to the identification of the tempi e. But the first letters of Apollo's name are pre~erved on four potsherds, permitting an identification with the temple of _\1'0110 Delphinios mentioned by Pausanias (I, 19, 1) as being near the Olympieion; Artemis Delphinia and Apollo Delphinios were jointly worshipped there. The construction of the first temple of Apollo D lphinios should be dated, according to Pausanias, to the year when Theseus first came to Athens. Any remains of the earlier temple would have been destroyed when the foundations of the classical temple were laid down on the same site, but Mycenaean and Geometric pottery has been found to the east, and also the remains of various \\-alls of the Geometric period, the most important of which must have belonged to the precinct wall of the older temple. To the we t of the temple is an archaic building which may contribute to the identification. The type of construction shows that it must have been an important civic building, probably the La\vcourt at the Delphinion. The ruins of the building were excavated in 1939 when, for the first time, the rocky spur of a little hill at ilie sourh\\-est comer of the 01 rmpieion was cleared. According to ancient tradition, Aigeus established the Delphinion on the site \\-here he was living. During the construction of the archaic building the hill was quarried a\\'aY to a considerable extent, not only to provide room for the building, but also to isolate it from the surrounding area by means of the high steep sides of the cliff. On the other sides it was apparently enclosed br a wall. This was probably the fenced enclosure, the periphrakloll, as Plutarch calls it (Theseus 12) \\'hich enclosed the Delphinion. The Gate of Aigeus, mentioned by Plutarch as being to the cast of the shrine, should perhaps be identified with the Diomeian Gate, X, which is, in {act, in that district (1" 160). The archaic building has polygonal masonry mainly of Acropolis limestone but \\ith some I..::ara limestone, u ed contemporaneously. There is a large square hall and two small ones on either side, figs. 113-114; the exterior dimensions for the whole building arc 21.50 X 11.20 m. The construction resembles that of the Old Bouleuterion in the Agora (1" 191) and must have been built at about the same time, circa 500 B.C. The partition walls of the two smaller rooms and the seashore-pebble mosaics in the eastern room and in the court in front of the building apparently belong to repairs executed in the 4th or 3rd century B.C. The various small rooms to the cast of the building must be contemporary with it. They may ha\ e been destroyed \\-hen the large Roman peristyle was built (p. 429) and a new precinct ran on top of them. The \\'all, still presern:d to its full length at the time when it was excavated in 1939, was the eastern boundary of the Lawcourt.

\pOllll under t he Long Rocks was al. 0 \\orshippcd as Pythios, as may he inferred from a passage in I:uripides (lOll 283 285); and the conne,ion between the nine archons and Pythian Apollo is understandable since Demosth n's (X\'III, 141) explicitly states that .\pollo Pythios also receives honours as Apollo Patroos in the cit\'. Furrh rmore, Philostratos seems to re~ I' to the cave sanctuary of Apollo as the Pythion in the passage tclli~g where the Panathenatc ship was moored (I /I/ne Sopbis/nn/lll II, 1, 5). \". Dllrpfeld and. \. I"::eramopoullos maintained that the Pytbion mentioned by Thucydides (II, 15) and trabo (I X, 404) should be located in the cave on the north slope of the Acropolis. Keramopoullos, indeed, came to th more definite conclusion that the ca\'e cast of Apollo's shrine, Cave C, was the shrine of Zeus Olympios, and that the rectangular bedding in from of the cave was the escbnra of Zeus Astrapaios. There are severnl instances where a cult in .Athens is known to have had two separate shrines, and the apparent conflict in our sources is resol\-ed if we assume that Thucydides refers to the Ol)'mpion (p. 402) and P)'thion (p. 100) ncar the Ilissos, wbile Strabo refers to sanctuaries of the same name on the north slope of the Acropolis. c\ccording to Strabo, the e.frbarn of Zeus Astrapaios is inside the wall between the Pythion and Olympion. In this case the wall is surel\' the Pelargikon E-E, because both Lucian (Bis ACClIsa/IIS 9) and Kratinos (Edmonds, C.-l.F. I, no. 321) state that the shrine of Pan is inside this wall. Furthermore, it appears that Philostratos is also thinking of the Pelargikon (Vi/ae Sopbis/nmlll II, 1,5). This wall of which not a trace is presen'ed should not be confused with the Outer Pelargikon, fig. 67. In our opinion, it is simply an extension of the fortification on the top of rhe hill, enclosing the terrace with the cans high up on the slope. In Mycenaean times this ,,'all secured the part of the i\cropolis which was particularly liable to be attacked and it "'ould have been the onl\' section of the Pelargikon which remained standing and visible at lea,t until Late Roman times, continu c ing in use as a retaining wall for the terrace in front of the caves. From the height of the terrace there is an unimpeded view of ;'1r. Parnes; from there the Pythaist~i, according to trabo, ",atched for lightning to trike on Harma, the sign for the start of the procession to Delphi. An extremely important find from the Agora Excavations near the Panathenaic \'i'a) is an inscribed stele reading: ;;~o. iega.; 000 t,,' Ii; ~ogevcra, 1/ 17vOai, i. le},r'Je;, fig. 117. This stele originalh- stood some\\here near the place where it was found and certainl)' was a boundary stone for the road traversed by the procession on its way to Delphi.

Tl' IPU OJ \Rb: In 19.13, 1937 and 1950 the foundations of a building were excavated in the northwest part of th' Agor.l Squ.lre near the Odeion of Agrippa; the building has been identified with the temple of Arcs, figs. 138-139, noted b, Pausanias (1, 8, 4). The remains consist of a great rectangular bedding for the foundations and a fe,,' of the foundation blocks which had been laid on a packing of broken stone in five Courses co'- ring th' ntirt area of the temple, thus forming a massive compact foundation. Fragments of the marble . up r. tructur' w 're found scattered far and wide; they show that it was a large Doric temple, architecturally the twin of the t mplc of H phaistos, fig.. 140-141. Furthermore, a considerable number of reliefs, found nearby, ha,-e been as. igned to the cella frieze, and the central acroterion of the east pediment of the temple has been identified, figs. 142-144. The temple itself dates to 440-436 B.C. but it has Roman foundations. The masons' marks, written in the Greek alphabet on the architectural blocks and dated by the letter forms to the Augustan period, show that this temple had originally stood on another site, ,,-as carefully dismantled with each block numbered to give its position in the temple, and rea sembled in the .\gora on new foundations. The moving of the temple is dated not onl\ b,' the masons' marks and the type of foundation construction, but also by pottery of the late 1st century B.C. from the foundations. To the cast of the temple are foundations for an altar which seems to have been moved at the same time. From this time omnrds, from the end of the 1st century B.C. until the 2nd century after Christ the Agora quare and other open spaces ill the neighbourhood were filled up with various buildings, fig. 34. First the Odeion of Agrippa went up, follo'nd by the temple of Ares. 'ext came the building of the l';orthea t Stoa in the Ioruc style, the Ci,-ic Offices, the outh,,-est Temple, two other temples in the court of the Gymnasium of Ptolemy, the Southeast Temple, the ymphaion, and the Round Fountain House in front of the Stoa of :\ttalos. Among all these buildings the temples ha,-e a particular interest since, as H. A. Thompson has discovered, they ,vere built ,,'ith architectural material taken from famous old temples of Attica which apparently had been abandoned after the de truction by ulla in 86 B.C. Thus, the temple of Ares ,,-ith its altar ,,-as moved from .-1.charnai where there was a pecial cult of Ares; the outheast Temple was built with material taken from the temple of Demeter at Thorikos and the Southwest Temple incorporated material from the temple of Athena at Sounion. Even though much of thi architecture was re-used for a second time in the Late Roman Fortification Wall south of the Stoa of Attalos, it wa possible to determine that 5th century B.C. temples had been mond to the Agora and set up there in Roman times, as pro,-en by the letter forms of the masons' mark identif"ing the blocks. Among this material are columns with beautiful Ionic capitals, figs. 151-153; ,,-here they came from and in which Agora building they were set up is not known. Finally, it should be noted here that the altar of Zeus Agoraios, dated to the 4th century B.C., which probably had originally stood on the Pnyx, ,,-as transferred to the Agora and set up in front of the 1\l(troon around the end of the 1st centur:' B.C. or the beginning of the 1st century after Christ.

Tm It \IPll 01 \RI} lI' \l,Ron R \ is identified here with the totally destf()}ed Ionic temple on the Ilis 0 lit 11 'on,id r d tl> be the \!ltmon in \grai. There is incontrovertihle evidence for locating the temple at th~ 11 )rth a t corn 'r of th int r~eetion of the new \rdittou Boulevard and D. Koutoula St., fig. 154. Here A. kias n 1 ")7 found the r mains ot found.HioDS 14.60 7.80 m, consisting of various beddings in the rock and a few "f<) block.. In 1962, during the construction of the Ardittou Boulevard, a wall 1.10 m. thick, built of great oro blocL, \\'a:- found at the foot of the rocky knoll where the temple had stood. This wall, running parallel \\ (th th north rn lin ot' the temple at a distance of 8 m., is a retaining wall which held in the earth fillings brought in to make a t rrace around the temple, figs. 156 157. The earth filling contained a great quamlt\ of roro~ and marbl chips, produced ,vhen the stonemasons were working on the poros foundations and the marbl sup rstrucmr .\ number of ,ase fragments were found and al 0 a quantit) of mall \0 otive vessels, ju:-t lik tho~e found b~ ~kJa~ in 189~, fig. 158. -\ft r th uncoyering of the foundation. in 1897, \\ . Dorpfeld was the first to identify them With the temple of .-\rt mi .-\grotera, In 1923, C. Robert supported this view, rel)ing mainl) on the interpretation oEthe sculptured frieze. Th district .-\grai or -\gr.1 i. gen ralh located at this part of the l!Jssos. And here the temple of Artemis .\grotera ought ro be, as well as the ,\ a ~ acros the ri"er mentioned by ancient authors in connexion with the temple. Cnquestionably, the site b) the church of St. Photini and above Kallirrhoe, where the river bed is fairly even with a hard limestone surface, presents the most suitable spor for the construction of a cro sing. In this connexion the rrench in the river-bed of the Ilissos should be considered, figs. 154-155. This trench, cut into the rocky river-bed, is about 34 m. long, 4 m. wide, and about 2 m. deep, forming an artificial passage in which the water would have flowed at a greater depth thus requiring less widrh, so that it would han been yery easy to construct a light bridge. Sokrates mentions this cros ing while explaining to Phaidros exactly where the altar of Boreas is and at the same time he gives the distance between the cro sing and rhe pot on the 1lis os bank ""here he and Phaidros are talking (p. 2 9), "two or three stades farther on where we cross over to the anctuary in the region of .\gra. And there is an altar of Boreas there," (Plato, Phaedms 229c). Pausanias (I, 19, 6) seems to haye u ed the ame crossing and immediately after cros ing the riyer he mentions the temple of ~-\rtemis. The ite of the crossing i further confirmed by the existence of a nearby gate, Gate X, in the city wall. okrate comes our of this gate, which we idemif, with the Diomeian Gate, heading in the direction of Kyno arges (Plato, Axiochus 364a). Before cros-ing the riyer, ho'\\-eyer, he sees Kleinias going toward the Kallirrhoe spring near the pot where we locate the cros ing. The temple on the 1lissos i usually identified with the 1Ietroon in .\grai, where the Les er :\1\ ~terie_, the socalled mysteries in Agrai were celebrated. But the site of the temple, situated awa, from the IIi so, on a rise, does not agree at all with the site of the i\Ietroon given bl ancient writers who describe it as being near th ]jis os '\\ here the mysteries were celebrated with purification rites "b\ the mystic bank" of the riy r. For thi, reason we believe that the 1fetroon must have been nearer to the I1issos and that a foundation re,ting on beddings in the rock, found in the mediaeval river-bed in 1962, might give the site of the :-'Ietroon. The b dding. 0.95 m. wide, fixes the northeast corner of an important building; only a single row of eight poros blocks I' preserved, the top surface being only 0.10 m. below the ri, er-bed, fig. 154. ~o'\\" that the t)y r has b'en drain d of water, a systematic excavation carried out,in this area would pt.rhaps turn up nl:\\ ,id nn. to d t'rrnll1 the plan and the function of the building. The plan of the temple of Artemis Agrotera and its general appearance arc kno'\\"n from th man 1I0us dra'\1nr;:of tuart and Re'\oCtt (1751 1753). In 1834, directly after the di coven of the ruin, and .1rchn ctural block, belonging to the temple of _ ike on the Acropolis, a close cannexlon bu'\\ eLn th ['\\'0 templ , '\\ a, not d.

of the Parthenon and it is thou~ht to have been built in 448 H.C. This date agrees with the mid-5th century B.C. date assigned to the pOllen found behind the retaining wall of the temple. The temple suttered serious dama~e for till: first time ill about the middle of the 5th century after Christ when it was turned into a Christian church to which the man) hnstian gran's, discovered there, belong. During the Turkish occupation, probabl) in the earh 17th century, the temple was further injured 'when a new smaller church was constructed on the site; thiS \\ as the "Panaghm qin Pura" the name derivLd from the projecting spur of rock on which the temple stood. 1n 1778, the temple of l\rtemis ;\grotera 'was utlerly destroyed down to the foundations in order to pro\'jde material for a new cit) wall. Onl) a fnv slabs of the sculptured frieze have been preserved; they appear to hal e heLn I'L m(n cd from the temple long before the final destruction. \ s,(;'lion of the sima has sun in'd and I wo column hasLs are stored nov: In the area of the Roman Agora, north of the Tower of the \\ inds, fig. 160.

TEMPLE OF ARTE~IIS i\RISTOHOllLE: 1n ,lune of 1958, a small Icmplc was found during the construction of a hou,e on a propert\ '" s\ ofThesl'ion Slltl:lre at the corner of elens and J leraklcidon Streets, fig. 164. J. Threpsiadcs did the e"cwation and on th ' basis of the inscription (Agora I 6969) referring to Artcmis found in front f the temple, the tcmpl' was securely identified with the temple of Artemis Aristoboule which Themistokles himself founded near his house in the de me of Melite directly after the successful outcome of the Persian Wars, as we learn from Plutarch (7'bcllli.rto/dc.r 22; Dc lIIali..~lIitate llcrorloti 37). The temple lies at the juncture of \WO ancient roads, the wide street leading from the southwest corner of the \gOf:\ to the Peiraic Gate (11) and the street which begins at the west side of the temple of Artemis and leads to the nearby Demian Gate (I), fig. 219. Those condemned to death were led to the Barathron through this gate and Plutarch in gi\'ing the I osition of the temple says (Thcllli.rtoklc.r 22) that it is in Melite "where now the public officials cast out the bodies of those who are put to death and carry out the nooses and garments of those \\'ho meet rhcir death by hanging," thus confirming the identification of the gate as well as that of the temple. There is e\'idence to show that a shrine to Artemis was founded directly after the Persian Wars because rhe miniature kraters, krateriskoi, found on the site, date to the early 5th century B.C. and ~re of a type associated "'ith the Artemis cult. Most of these yessels were found in the court in front of the temple near the foundations for the altar; the altar itself was found close by. In regard to the 5th century B.C. temple, only the foundation of the pronaos and a large block of the southern anta are preseryed. The temple appears to haye bcen abandoned and destroyed during Themistokles' exile; neYCrthelcss the cult continued in the shrine, for the anta block had beddings for small votive stelai. Around 330 B.C., according [Q the inscription, the temple was probably rebuilt from the foundations up. At all events, the rebuilding of the cella walls, the floor, and the threshold of Hymettos marble at the entrance should be dated to this time. The temple certainly stood until the end of classical antiquity. In Plutarch's time a portrait of Themistokles was still to be seen in the temple; at the beginning of the 3rd century after Christ, the front of the pronaos was walled up and the inscription mentioned above was used as a threshold for a new door.

Te1ema~hos, a del out pri"ate donor, founded Ihe shrine which, from the start, occupied the tree .space to the cast 01 the \\'all called Pelargikon, clearly separated from the ancIent Pelargikon b) its own I reCinet \\,111. In the 4th eel1\Uf\ B.C., the wooden structures put up by Telemachos were replaced by substantial buildings: the temple of \sklepios and Ilygieia, the altar, the great two-store)ed Doric staa (the abaton or incub.ltion h:l1l) which took in the sacred ofTering pit and t he sacred spring inside the cave. In Roman times

a small slOa \\ as built south of the temple. The function of Ihe buildings just mentioned makes it clear that, from the beginning, the eastern section constituted the real shrine, in contradistinction to the ,,'estern part hounded by the Pelargikon which was onll' a supplementan part of the shrine. Lea\ ing the archaic spring house (which is very much older than the shrin(; of .\skkpio our of account, the only huilding inside the Pelargikon which it is, in fact, possible to connect with the .\sklcpieion is the Ionic stoa, \\ hich was built just after the founding ot' the shrine and falls in the category of auxiliary buildings. The controversy about the rights to the property which is recorded in the account of the founding of the sanctuary in 419/418 B.C. (I. C. 1(24960) relates especially, in my opinion, to the building of this SlOa inside the Pelargikon, which was under the supervision of the Kerykes of Eleusis. Perhaps after this infringement of their rights, the)' caused the famous decree of Lampon to be enacted (1. C. I12 76) in order to forestall other high-handed acts. Furthermore, marble boundary stones were set up to define the boundaries of the two zones. ince the discoyery of the Asklepieion up until the present, various investigations have been conducted in the area and many informati\T studies ha\'e been 'written on the topography and history of the shrine. But when it comes to the atchitecture, only the two-storey Doric stoa has attracted the attention of cholars, e\'en though a great deal of architectural material from other buildings has been preserved. The publications give the reconstruction of the stoa in its original fotm with sufficient accuracy, except for the western end where there is a sacred pit lined with masonry. F. Robert realized that there had to be a special place devoted to the cult of heroes celebrated in the Asklepieion during the festi\'al of
If/ 111'1'0(/

(1. C. 112 974-975) and proposed the cir-

cular Pit as most suitable for this purpose. Because of the chthonic nature of the cult, he conjectured that the pit had been roofed o,Ter by a baldachin. In searching through the architectural fragments still lying in the }\sklcpieion today, I recently ascertained that there had been, in fact, a baldachin above the bollJros, fig. 176, JUSt as Robert had thought. Much poros arch itecture, which 1 assign to the baldachin, has been presen'ed: column drums, epi tyle blocks, triglyphs and geison blocks. Toda\ tlll\ arc stored west of the larger of the two vaulted cisterns, fig. 179; according to the excavation reports thel were found in the area of the main shrine. One poros column drum is even lying in the place where it was found ncar the pit, beside which it had originally slOod on one of the four round bases of llymettos marble. Leaving the archaic spring house (p. '138) out of accolU1t, the most Important building in the auxilian space to the west is the Ionic stoa. It is dated to tbe last quarter or the 5th centUf\ H.C. and has four Slluar' room", 6 metres 10 the side. The thresholds ror the doors are not preservL'd, but tnlces or the thresholds on Ihe lowes I course of stone blocks shlJw that the doors were not centred on the axis or the rooms but Wl're placed 10 Ih' right. This ofl centre arrangement of the doors means that the room" were dL'signed to Iii e1nen dining couehls each and, consequently, must have been used h) the visitors staying at the shrint'. The ,Incienl n,lme for Ihis type of huildlng, indispensable 1'01' Asklepieia, was J..(/I(/.~o.~ioll. The main entrance to the whole omplex of buildings lies bet\\el'n thl main part 01 the shrine .Ind th' .lu,ili.ln area, facing the road around the Acropolis, the Peripatos. 11 seems that carll In the hislon 01 Ihe shrim' a propylon was erected at this entrance, as may be inferred Iromlhc ins 'nj1lion 01 1)1<,\"lcs S2,-" 1 II.C.

After thi r building, th shrine remained intact until the 5th centun, as we learn from a speech of the 'eoplatoni t ! larino (Pr()(/II.f or .

In 1963, h n th . kl pi ion ar a w s put in order, the drawba in was ckaned out to the bottom where a mall well di cover d. Thi w II, 1.25 m. deep, has masonn' walls with a small opening at the south to let in watcr from th und rground ,pring which is right there. Th wall of th dra\\'basin ar carefullr built in pol) gonal masont\' of Kara limestonc. The walls of the pring hou abo\' ground le\'c! arc 0.50 m. thick and arc of Acropolis limcstonc. At the northcast corncr part of onc course of th e walls i pre erved and here it is pas ible to see 'where the overhanging Acropoli cliff was cut back to a can iderable height in order to make room for the corner of the spring house. ince the we, tern part of the dra\vbasin was demolished when the mediaeval \'aulted cistern was built, thc original width of the. pring house is not known. If the mouth of the well was in the exact middle of the drawba. in, the width would ha\'e been 3 metres in. ide, 4 metres overall. On the south ide of the spring hou e there certainly must ha\'e been a mall toa, a kind of entrance hall which wa demoli hed in the 4th centun' B.C. when the temple directly to the south was built. A poro Doric column capital, found in a nearby well. probabl! corne from the spring house porch. The well went out of use and was covered \\ith earth in the 4th centur! B.C., /.t. at the time when the pring house porch was de troyed. The pring house is dated to the end of the 6th century B.C. The boundary stone with the inscription h6go~ ,giVE;. t1 . 1 -, hould be dated in the la t quarter of the 5th century B.C.; it was set up to define the boundarie of the spring hou e when the .:\sklepieion was founded. The spring house and its urroundings were acred to the nymphs, as shown by an abundance of \'otive reliefs with nymphs found in thi area, figs. 192-193. Pan \\':1 ala worshipped there from the 5th century B.C. ofi\\'ard, and probably also Hermes, .-\phrodite and Isis, judging from the fact that near the spring house there is a large altar or altar-table of Hymettian marble, bearing the names of these gods who were jointly worshipped and to whom the altar was dedicated (/. G. IF 4994). ourh and southwest of the spring house are the remains of two temples; perhaps they belonged to the god named in the inscription.

OLD TE~II'IE

OF

A rilE I: The pre-I ersian temples of the Acropolis arc known hoth through written records

,tilt! thro\l~h th abundant ,rcmain~ of architecture ~nd sculpture; the foundations of only one of these temples h,lv' b 'cn prl'sen cd: the loundatlOns of the Old Temple of Athena which lies between the Parthenon and the hechth 'ion. In 1885 \". Dorpfcld discovered that these foundations belong to a large peripteral Doric temple aml hidisty1c in antis. For many decades subsequently it was thought that the foundations had two building periods distinguished from each other by material and by workmanship: the inner foundations of Acropolis limc,ton' II' re supposed to have belonged to an earlier temple and the outer foundations of Kara limestone II' 'I" "uppos d to have been added for a colonnade in Peisistratid times. Tod,l)" the pre\'ailing \'iew is that put forth by W.B. Dinsmoor in 1947: the foundations belong to a single temple buIll' in 529 520 B.C. to replace a "hypothetical but necessary" Geometric temple mentioned by Homer (Iliad II, 5-1-6-551; 0r!y.rsf)' VII, 80-81). Th.is Geometric temple was on the site of the Mycenaean palace and I think one must assume that the Geometric temple was replaced by a larger temple at the end of the 7th or beginning of the 6th century B.C. which in turn was succeeded by the Peisistratid temple, the Old Temple of Athena.
~ot the slightest trace of an early archaic temple has been preserved, but it is probable that terracotta ante-

fixes and simas deri\'e from it, figs. 194-195. They have exactly the same patterns as the roof tiles of the archaic Telesterion at Eleusis, and it is natural to suppose that after the final unification of Eleusis with Athens Solon first had the idea of building magnificent temples on the Acropolis contemporary with the first monumental Telesterion at EI usis. of the architecture of the Peisistratid temple has been preserved, enough to give us a clear idea of its appearance. The temple was of poros except for the stylobate which was of Kara limestone and the raking cornices, metopes, simas and roof tiles which were of island marble. Some of the pediment sculpture, also of island marble, has been preserved. The east pediment represented the battle between the gods and the giants, the we t pediment had an animal combat. _\fter the Persians had destroyed the temple in 480/479 B.C. the Athenians used about half of the entablature of the temple for the construction of the Themistoklean north wall of the Acropolis. By the time the work started on the Erechtheion in 421 B.C., the Peisistratid temple could no longer have been standing. However, it seems that the exigencies of the situation necessitated keeping the western portion of the cella which Dinsmoor identified as the Opisthodomos recorded in J. G. F 91/92; it was used as a state treasury and remained in use until the mid-4th century B.C.

Th IPLE 01' \UII" ' . IId: The r construction of the temple of ,\thenaike b} L. Ross, Chr. Hansen, and E 1. chaubert in 1835 -1836 sUfl"crcd [rom basi errors and omissions, the most serious defect heing that no car wa. taken to consolidate the foundations which in the course of time settled so that the entire monument \\ in immin 'nt danger of collapse. Thus it became impetative to dbmantle the temple and the bastion and to r build on n 'W solid foundations. This work began in 1935 under the direction of . Balanos; by 1939 the ba tion and most of the temple had been rebuilt and in the following year A. Orlandos completed the reconstructJon. The new \'idence brought to light b\ this second reconstruction meant an important advance in our knowledge. The architecture of the temple was studied in full detail and furthermore the dismantling of the classical sheathing of the bastion revealed for the first time that the core was a massive Mycenaean bastion built in the Cyclopean manner which, together with the gate and the Pelasgic wall, had been built to fortify the approach to the Acropolis, fig. 200. On top of this old bastion, 1.40 m. below the level of the paved floor of the classical temple, the follo\\'ing monuments were found: the poros altar Eand base C, which G.\X'eiter had discovered in a preliminan . exca\'ation in 1923; the poros naisko D and a most important fragment of a second poros altar, B, \\'ith the inscription: Ti;' A {}e [vata;.} ri; .Ytxe; {Jopo;. IIarQox( ;.>i; i:toteGev. This inscription dated to 566 B.C. shows that a cult of Athena Nike had been established on the Mycenaean bastion by the mid-6th century B.C. Before Pausanias describes entering the Acropolis (I, 22, 4) he reports that the temple of Wingless Victory, as he calls the temple of Athena Tike, is to the right of the Propylaia. Other cults are known to have existed on the bastion: the shrine of the Graces (Pausanias I, 22, 8 and IX, 35, 7; Scho!' Aristophanes, Clouds 773) and the shrine of Artemis Epipyrgidia (Pausanias II, 30, 2). The epithet Epipyrgidia is now fully elucidated by the discovery of the bastion. The niche disco\'ered by Balanos in the west side of the ba tion housed yet another cult of great antiqcity. \~ben the Mycenaean bastion was sheathed with a poros wall in classical times, a similar niche was made in the poros wall at the same spot, attesting the peculiar importance of the cult. The cults mentioned above were not on the original surface of the Mycenaean bastion but were installed after the upper part of the bastion had been demolished. When did this alteration of the Mycenaean ba tion occur? The original height of the fycenaean bastion must have been five to six metres above the floor on \\'hich the foundations of naiskos D stood. Thus it was a high massive bastion at the entrance to the .\cropoli , guarding the approach and at the same time serving as a look-out. The earliest certain date for the cult on the bastion was, as we saw above, 566 B.C. However, the terracotta figurines which were found in the cavity of base A provide a much earlier terminus ante quem for the destruction of the upper part of the bastion. Unfortunately I have not been able to see these figurines, but N. Balanos, G. Oikonomos, and G. \\'elter, \vho reported the figurines after their discovery, describe them as archaic. As may be seen in fig. 201 they are primiti\-e cylindrical femal figures, closely similar to the hundreds of figurines found in the Telesterion of Eleu is and dated in the -th century B.C.
~

It is not known to which divinity the figurines were offered. In 566 B.C., ho\vever, on the occasion of the founding of the Greater Panathenaia, the first poros altar B to Athena Nike 'was established on the bastion for the patron goddess of the contests celebrated during the Panathenaic festiva!' The edges of the ~[yccna an bastion formed thc bounds for the archaic shrine of Athena Nike; on the north, west and south side~ of the bastion a parapet wa built. A small part of the north side of the parapet is still pre, en ed tod.n and it \\ as known before Balanos began his work. The poros naiskos D and the altar E in front of it "'cre apparenth I uilt in the interval between the battles of Marathon in 490 B.C. and Salamis in 480 B.C. and wcre contcmpor.U\ \\ ith the Old Propylon probably built circa 485 B.C. [t should be noteel that three other similar paros naiskoi ot the ~lassieal period are known in Athens, fig. 202. They arc simply small rectangular celJas for the cult statu s. The Ol~ Propylon and the poros naiskos of Athena ike seem to have undergone repairs dirccth aft r th,destruction of the monuments of the city by the Persians in 480/479 B.C. The decision to erect a nc\\ nwbk temple and altar was made i 448 B C b . r f . . . I tion . n . ., as may e 1J11erreel rom the ll1scrJpuon 1. C. 12 ~4; actua comltLlC

C. 112 403). A few years later, circa 410 B.C., the wall urrounding the a,sical tcmple, th tamous 1'ike parapet \\'as set in place. The temple ,cems to hal e sun'j\ cd in e,cellent condition until 1687, although possibly an undergrounti vaulted hamb r had been built in the cella for use as a powder magazine. On the eve of Morosini's raid in 1687 the I"hole tlmple \\'as pulled dO'wn and the stone used to build a strong outwork in front of the Propylaia. \\nen his \I a, taken apart in 1835 virtually all of the temple was found, excepting a few frieze slabs which are in the British :.\luseum, and the first reconstruction was done.

Thi last name is mentioned for the ti.rst time in an inscription of r r- B.C. (1. G. 112 6-3). It i in the herameiko where three important roads enter the cin : th road from the.\cad 'n1\'. he road irom the Piraeus, and the road from Eleusis which connected _-\thens not onl\- \rith the ,,-hol Thriasi.l11 plain but al 0 with the Peloponne os and the rest of Greece.

The "\chamian gate is mentioned in il1scriptions and by Hesychios ('A;(ael"I)' Outside this gate was an extremel) large cemeler) on either side of the road which led to Acharnai; in recent years a long stretch of this road has been found.

In the course of excavations in 1958, we ascertained that there was a ~ate iu t w st of the prop' Ion on the north side of the Ol~ mpieion; the stout walls of the gate had been con, truct d of column drums from the Peisistratid temple of Olympian Zeu , fig. 222. The road runnJng through this gate connected the CIt} with the \ anous shrines along the Ilissos river and with the settlements in thc area of th present-da ~ suburb of Pankrati as far as :Mt. H} mettos. \\ e identify this gate as the Hippades Gate which an in~cription (I. C IF 2776, B I, 140-143) a sociates with the district of Agryle or Ankyle. The imcription (1.

This gate is mcntloned in connexion '\vith the K~ nosarges gymnasium in the deme of Diomeia (Diogenes Laertlu VI, 13; Plutarch, Thw/lSiokles 1). \\ hen okrates was going to Kynosarges (p. 34(J) it eem that he ,,'ent out of the city through this gate. In this region near the Ilissos river, the Themistoklean \\-all ha completely disappeared; but the much later wall in thi area, built in the reign of Valerian, has a gate \\'hich almost certainl~' was the successor to an earher ,gate at the ~ame point. XI. The Ilol1lalJ Gate is mentioned only once in anci nt times, in the p eudo-Platonic dialogue AXlOchJls (364d-36-a) "at the Itonian gate - for he li,-ed near the gate by the .-\mazon tele." Pausarua (1,2, 1) report~ that "'hen one comes to town from Phaleron one sees the tele of the ,\mazon .\ntiope just a one enter he cit~-. Plutarch (Theseus 2 ) places this stele not far from the southwe t corner of the Olympieion precinct wall near the hrine of Olympian Ge. In 1965 the city wall was found in thi area when the telephone compan~ opened up a trench along the length of 10 iph ron Rogon St. In front of the house at no.

The la,t in the series o[ gates around the city wall lies at the other end of the d,aluchlSma in th' ,"Hldle b,tween the Pnl),. and the] lill of thc ymphs where an ancient road for whe<:led traffic may still b' s' 'n tod'I~. \\ should identify this gate with the Iclitides Gate mentioned by ancitnt authors, for the dellle of .\ldite c'\tended to the north from this gate CMarcellinus, Vila Thllcydidis 17 and 55; Anon., V,la J'I.'1I<Jdidis 10; Pausanias 1, 23, 9). lntil 86 13.C. the city of .\thens continued to be enhanced by magnificent new public buildings and temples; th' city maintained the splendour of the classical and IIellenistic periods, secure within the circuit of a strong cill' wall constantly kept in a state of repair. In 86 B. c., however, Sulla seized the city after a hard attack; in ord 'r to reduce the power of Athens he systematically destroyed the fortifications of the Asty and of the Piraeus. The Long \'I'alls and the circuit \\'all of the Piraeus were never rebuilt and the Piraeus, once a flourishing busy port town, d,\'indled away, while for three and a half centuries Athens remained unfortified, fig. 220. The lack of fortifications for so many centuries did not hinder the development of the city. Directly after the sack of Sulla the cit\, began to build once more, mainly thanks to the contributions from Roman emperors, eastern kings and many individual Philathenians who spent astronomical sums for the beautification of rhe cit\' and for the construction of works of benefit to all, such as aqueducts, drainage systems, streets and bridges which made an important contribution to the urban devclopment of the city in this period. Pau anias has recorded the splendid picture which the city presented in the 2nd century after Christ and his detailed accounts haye made it possible to understand and to identify most of the monuments of Athens. The reorganization of the city continued until the middle of the 3rd century after Christ. At that time the imminent danger from raids by Goths and Herulians forced the Emperor Valerian (253-260 A.D.) to take thought for the defences of Athens and other Greek cities. Recent exca,'ations have brought portions of the new \'alerian circuit to light; as a result we now know not only that the Valerian circuit was built on the foundations of the old Themistoklean \,'all but also that the Circuit was enlarged to enclose the new city built by Hadrian in the eastern part of Athens, fig. 221. The defences of the Acropolis were also reinforced and it is our opinion that the so-called Beule Gate was built at this time in order to make the Acropolis more difficult of access (p.483). In spite of all these precautions the walls were not able to stand up under the violent onslaught of the Herulians who took Athens in 267 A.D., set fire to the city and laid it waste. After this disaster the city was so crippled that the Athenians were not able to rebuild it as they once would ha\ e done. It is a striking fact that the gradual repair of damages was accomplished very much later. Since they were not in a position to rebuild nor even to man the old city wall, they abandoned it and in the last quarter of the 3rd century after Christ the Athenians built a city wall north of the Acropolis, radically contracting their line of defence, fig. 221. This ne\\' \\'all, which is called the Late Roman Fortification Wall, was constructed of material taken from the buildings wreck d by the I ferulians and it included the Roman Agora and the Library of IIadrian whither the whole administratiw and commercial activity of the city was transferred. The archaeologists of the Agora Excavations haye cl ar d the entire west side of the Late Roman Fortification \X/all, the best presetTcd of the three sides. They found architectural material built into the wall much of which could be idenlitied as deriying from buildings of th Agora. Iwen though the city was much reducecl in size, in time Athens began to resume the old \\,1\ ,,{ lif' .md in the 4th century after Christ again enjoyed relalive prosperity due chicfh to the great fame of the schools and other educational and cultural institutions. The Brzantine emperors contributed greath to the gro\\ th of th city; they were especially favourable to Athens, giving material support and tolerattng 1',lg'IIllSI11..\t th nel of th 4th and beginning of the 5th century so much building was going on outSl,1e of the I.ate Roman Fortification Wall that it is clear, in our judgment, that the city had expanded and was once more nclo, eI within th larger outer ring of the circuit wall.

\T1ill\.~

St-e.in th numb r of n \\" builchngs and the eill spread out to the full extent of her former boundaries, one mi ht form the impr ssion that \thens had recaptured her old glury and puwer. The rehuilding of the city from th ,h of th Jferulian destruction is et:rtainh admlrabk. But the cit} no longer bore any relation to the f rm r gr atn . s of .\th ns in cIa ,iell and HelleOlsttc or eyen in Roman times. Ju tinian's stern order to close th philo.ophicaJ schoob in ~ 29 -\.D. 5 t the cal on the end of paganism and the ancient splendour of Athens. Th cit\ became an imignii1eant town III the gr at B\ zantlne empire. It was important merely as a fan; Justinian's chi f concern was to str ngth n the ",'ails ,vhieh guaranteed the continued existence of the cit\. Thus until the cin wa. captur d by the Franks in 1204 A.D. Athens continued to be protected by the ancient ourer circuit wall a r built by J u, timan.

1.. Shear, Jr., 11 'Sjxria 38, 1969, pp. 395-398). B caus' til, \\"'re round the ba/aneia were also callcd Ib%i. Usually two bath houses were installed together, on> tor men' and the orher for \\'omen, with various auxiliary rooms round about and furnaces to heat the barh wat r. 1Ian)' baths of this type have survived in Greece, as for example in Eleusis and in the Piraeus, where the so-called Serangeion, hewn entirely out of the rock, provides one of the best examples of this type of bath
(Ginom'es, Ba/alletllike, pis. L VII-L VIII). There is evidence from the literary sources that round baths, Iboloi, were known in Athens from the 5th centur) B.C. onward (Arhenaeus XI, 501 d if; I ratinos 50 in Edmonds, C.A.F. I, 1'.38; Alkiphron, i::.pislles III, 40 I. 23). One inscription (/. C. P 385) mentions a public bath, and two inscriptions mention baths located just outside the city gates, probably for the usc of weary travellers arriving in Athens, fig. 219. One of these is the barh of Diochares (I. C. IP 2495) outside the Diochares Gate (VIII); the other is the bath of Isthmonikos (I. C, F 94) on the south side of the city ncar Gate XI. A third bath outside a city gate is mentioned br Isaios (Harpokration, s. v. 'Avlhpo"ecro<;) as being near to the statue of Anthemokritos and the Thriasian Gare, namely rhe Diprlon Gate (IV) as Plutarch explains (Perik/es 30). The Kerameikos excavators have identified this bath as the round building outside the Dipylon Gate on the west side of the road leading to the Academy; it has an inside diameter of 8.20 m. and dates to the 5th century B.C., fig. 236 (AA 1936, Pl'. 208-212; ibid. 1937, PI" 184-195; ibid. 1938, p. 610 and p. 614; ibid. 1940, pp. 318-333). A fourth, like the Dipylon bath, 'with an inside diameter of 5.80 m., was excavated in 1965, outside the Peiraic Gate (II) on a lot at no, 43 Poulopoulou St., fig. 237 (LleJ:r. 21, 1966, Xeov,,,ci, 1'.74, fig, 16,1'1. 81 b). The Roman type of bath with hypocausts appeared in Athens in the 1st century after Christ and flourished in the 2nd century, when the Emperor Hadrian provided the city with an abundant supply of water. These buildings were mostly small, but richly embellished with multi-coloured marble paving, mosaics, and sculpntre, 1Iost of the baths were destroyed by the Herulians in 267 A.D.; however, in the 4th century they were repaired and new ones were built, remaining in use at least until the end of the 6th century after Christ. The total number of Roman baths found in Athens up until the present is twenty-four. The sites are indicated by the letters on the plan, fig. 221. Few of these appear to have been independent units; u ualh' they were attached to large complexes such as gymnasia, schools, or other institutions. Today, none of these baths are visible with the exception of Bath C and Bath I and the remains of Baths T, U, V, \\1, X found in the Agora Exca\'ations. All the others have either been destroyed or concealed as a result of various modern engineering projects.

Probably it belongs to a bath remains of which were found opposite to the ymphaion, at the Kouremenos house. C The ruins of this bath have been preserved in the basement of an apartment house, figs. 247-249. It is dated in the 2nd century after Christ and appears to have been in use until the 6th century, .~cJ.r. 19,1964, ,\'(>0"1"", pp.47-49.

The IllSt rooled Boulcutl'l'ion (the Old Bouleuterion) was built in the beginning of the 5th century 13.e. directlr ,lttl'l the rdorms of J-...letslhenes, in order to take care of the newly created Council of the Fiv~ Hundred. it is a big rcclangular building with Acrop lis limestone foundations built in the polygonal style. Vcr; little of the intcrior arrangements arc preserved, but enough to restore the plan, fig, 253. Thc gOI ernmcnt archi\'es were stored in the Boulelllerion, as ancient authors testify; from the end of the 5th CClltUr) B.e. when the administrative needs had increased, the whole building was used as the archive and a ncw l3ouleuterion was built to the west of the old one. Only a few paras blocks and the beddings for the foundation walls arc preserved. evertheless, the way in which the hillside has been deeply cut back in order to creatc a construction site conveys the impression of the importance of the building, fig. 254. The ,cats of thc New Bouleuterion were probabl) of wood at first; later on, probably around the end of the 4th or beginning or the 3rd century B.e. when a stoa was built to the south, a regular theatre with stone seats was installed. The radius of the orchestra was 2.64 m,; the theatre comprised twelve rows of seats with an average width of 0.62 m. and could accommodate more than five hundred people. At the beginning or the 3rd century B.e., a little Ionic propylon was built on the side facing the Agora Square a an entrance for the whole complex of administrative buildings; the foundations and a very few fragments of the marble superstructure are preserved. In 267 A.D. the Herulians destroyed the ew Bouleuterion and the propylon. In the 5th century after Chri t , a new building was put up on the site of the Bouleuterion; the scant remains furnish no evidence as to it function.

In 1938 G. P. Ste\TnS did a little excavating and ascertained that the Chalkotheke had been a large oblong hall, 43 m. X 14 m., to which a Doric colonnade had later been added. According to Stevens, the first pha<e of the building should be dated to about the mid-5th century B.C. and the colonnade is early 4th century H.C.

ELEU I ION:

ELEUSINION

The unification of the Attic townships under the power of Athens does t h . no appear to ave been fully co~pleted untd t~e nd. of th~ 7th century H.C. It is certain, at least, that Eleusis was not finally amalga_ m~,t~d wIth .:\th ns tUltd.the time 01 Solon. From then on the cult of Demeter and Kore was established as an othclal cult ot th' Athel11an state; the celebration of the Eleusinian Mysteries a sumed a Panhellenic character. In the most conspicuou. part of the city, in the Old Agora, the government founded the Eleusinion, dedicated to th> t,,'o godde.~es. The oldest .B~uleuterion, founded by Theseus when he effected the synoikismos, probably had stood on the sIte of the EleuslnlOl1. Perhaps for thls reason Solon made a law that the Council should meet in th EI u.inion on the day after the celebration of the Mysteries (Andocides, Dc Myslcriis 111; 1. C. IF 794 . ' 4 1111 30, 1072). In th official inscriptions the shrine is named the Eleusinion in the City or "beneath the polis" that is to say, the Acropolis. The Eleusinion was, in fact, below the Acropolis, on the east side of the Panathenaic Way. The many indications of the site given in ancient authors are confirmed by the finds of votive offerings and inscriptions to Demeter and Kore. The east side of the Eleusinion is the only part which has not yet been cleared; probably it did not extend far in that direction, fig. 260. On the west it is bounded by a precinct wall running along the Panathenaic Way; to the north and south the boundaries were two ancient roads, both taking their start from the Panathenaic Way and heading east, presumably joining the Street of the Tripods not far away, fig. 540. A.n as yet unidentified shrine has been found in the triangular area between the north side of the Eleusinion and the more northerly of the t,,'o roads from the Panathenaic \Vay to the Street of the Tripods. The Thesmophorion ,,-as probably to the south of the Eleusinion in the area where the round structure, four small poros altars, and a deposit of kernoi were found. From the beginning the Eleusinion was established in the southern half of the area and was enclosed by a quadrilateral precinct wall about 40 X 20 m., fig. 260. The first temple must have been in this precinct; it vanished without a trace when quarrying operations levelled off that part of the slope. The votive offerings found in this area, terracotta figurines and small votive vessels, certainly belong to the early shrine. The precinct wall, 0.90 m. thick, constructed of Acropolis limestone in the polygonal style, is dated to the mid-6th century B.C. In the course of time the shrine was enlarged to the north and enclosed by a new precinct "wall. A large temple was built in the middle of the new precinct. The foundations, which are all that remain, were constructed with exceptional care of limestone from the Kara quarry. At first glance one would think that they date to the last quarter of the 6th century B.C. The pottery from the fillings around the foundations, ho,,-e,-er, runs do,,-n to 490 B.C. Before the temple was finished, the plan was slightly revised to enlarge it to the east and somh. The addirional foundations were 2.40 m. wide and of Acropolis limestone, figs. 263-264. The overall dimensions of the temple were 11.00 X 17.70 m. The plan of the temple, like the early archaic Telesterion in Eleusis, was simple; it had a rectangular cella ,,;th the entrance probably to the south, and a small room (adyton) to the north for the safekeeping of the hallowed objects (hicra) of Eleusis which the ephebes escorted to the Eleusinion in Athens during the festinl of the Greater Mysteries (1. G. 112 1078). Because of the steep slope of the hill from south to north, the builders brought in quantities of earth to make a level terrace and on the west and north sides of the terrace they erected extremely strong retaining ,,'ails. 6 111. high. The temple of the Eleusinion, elevated on this lofty terrace, stood out against the horizon and could Ie seen from afar by those coming in from Eleusis on the Sacred \xray. _ The oblong base 2 / 15 m., east of the temple, was probably for the "Allic stelai" containing the list~ ot ~C)l\ liscated property sold at public auction after the owners, lcibiades and others, had been cOlwictcd l~t mUt1lat~ ing the J krrns and parodying the Eleusinian Mysteries in 415 B. . (Pollux X, 97). Man\' fragm'nls ot the st'LII have been found in the area of the Hleusinion (llc.rpcr;{/ 22, 1953, pp. 225-299). _ In the second half of the 4th centll ry 13.C. the old entrance to the shrine was replaced by a prop 'lon, !Ig. _~5, mentioned in an inscription at J~Jcusis (I. C. 1[2 1672, line J 66). round the middle of the 2nd c 'ntur\, alter

build a little stoa, probably Doric,

P.lu,.ll1i.lS (I, 14, 1 4) dir 'ctly after describing the Enneakrounos says that there arc two temples higher up .lb,H L' the fnuntain house, the tcmple of Demetcr and Kore and the temple of TriplOlemos. He next reported the ",hrin' at .\thcns, called the Eleusinion." In 1959, IT. A. Thompson identified the Southeasr Temple, Jig. - 4,.b the t'mpl of Dem ter and Kore; it was built in the 1st century after Christ with material taken from the t'l11plc of Dcmeter and Kore in Thorikos (p. 104). Fragments of a large cult statue of Demeter or Korl', hting to about the end of the 5th century B.C., found inside the Southeast Temple, also probably came from th temple at Thorikos .\s for the temple of Triptolemos, the site has not yet been ascertained; but I assume that it wa. outside the shrine as at Eleusis. In ?6- \.D. the Eleusinion '-\'as destroyed by the Herulians and a little later its west side along the Panathenaic \'i'a\' was hidden under the Late Roman Fortification Wall (p. 161). At the same time gates were constructed for th roads north and south of the Eleusinion. Around the middle of the 17th century the church of the H\"papanti was built on the southern gate. The first exca\'ations were done in 1840, when the Late Roman Fortification \'iTall was noted and many important inscriptions were found built into it near the church of the H ypapanti. In 191~ the ?reek Archaeol~gical Socien' in\'estigated the area further. Detailed exploration of the area and the IdentIfication of the Eleuslillon were done by the Agora excayators who began digging there in 1938-1939 after the.church of the Hypapanri and the houses had been taken down. This work continued in 1959 with the extenSIOn of the exca\'atlons to the east and the systematic inyestigation of the whole Eleusinion area.

EAKROU OS-KALLIRRHOE:

ENNEAKROUNOS - KALLlRRllOE

The spring of Kallirrhoe is southeast of the Olympieion in the Ilissos riverbed opposite the Church of t. Photini where there was a considerable Aow of water at the foot of the stee slope until 1962. In 1893, A. Skias excavat d at this spot and discovered lwo large cisterns, A and B, in th~ river-bed, fig. 154, and a system of rock-cut tlUlnels to collect the water which was conveyed to Piraeus by the so-called "tou Younou" aqueduct. The name Kallirrhoe lived on all through the Middle Ages and even now the Athenians still call that part of th Ilissos Kallirrhoe. The fountain house built by the tyrants, the Enneakrounos, should be on the west bank of th Ilissos very near the spring. Perhaps one should scarch for the Enneakrounos not far away from the present-day Anapafseos St. bridge, at the place where a stone parapet block was found in 1962 when a trench wa: dug for a large drain. The parapet block certainly comes from the draw basin of a fountain house, for it is smoothly polished and heavily worn from the friction of water pots rubbing along the sides. The many passages in ancient authors and lexicographers mentioning Kallirrhoe and the Enneakrounos have been carefully collected by R. E. Wycherley (Testimonia, pp. 137-142). In most of the passages Kallirrhoe is located south of the Acropolis; among the age-old sanctuaries mentioned by Thucydides (p. 289); out toward H ymettos; near the temple of Zeus; at the Ilissos; and, finally, in the region of the Itonian Gate and Kynosarges, fig. 379. The waters of the spring have to do with marriage rites (p. 361); it was called Kallirrhoe before the Enneakrounos was built by the tyrants. In the vase painting of that period a splendid fountain house does, indeed, appear labelled with its old name "Kallirrhoe" or "Kallirrhoe fountain house," fig. 267 (Beazley, ABV, p. 261, no. 41). Although the ancient authors generally agree in placing Kallirrhoe-Enneakrounos south of the Acropolis near the Ilissos, nevertheless tbe topographical details in Pausanias' description of the Enneakrounos sho\\' that he was referring to another fountain house built by Peisistratos to the north of the Acropolis in the southeast corner of the Agora. W. Dorpfeld first tried to identify the Enneakrounos with remains of hydraulic installations which he had found in his excavations south of the Areopagus in 1892 and he made a wholly imaginary restoration. Nonetheless his view was accepted and for many years it formed the basis for studies of the topography of Athens until the opening years of the American excavations of the Agora. In 1933 a monumental fountain house of the mid4th century B.C. was found in the southwest corner of the Agora, fig. 269. This was believed, at first, to be the Enneakrounos until 1952 when the Southeast Fountain House was excavated near the Church of the Holl' Apostles. This fountain house of the second half of the 6th century B.C. may he securely identified with the Enneakrounos of Pausanias, since the site near the Odeion of Agrippa and the Eleusinion agrees with Pausanias' description, I, 14, 1.

EI'ONYl\IOUS 1I1:HOI'.S

o t' IF. 'T OF THE Epo Y lOllS I hmm:s: In 1931 an oblong monument in Ihe Agora excavations, about 14 m te s ast of the [etrooll and appro"imal 'Iy parallel to it, was excavated and later identilied as the );p . . onymous H ro '5, fig. 275. Enough is pn'sl'r\ 'd of the oblong base and of the blocks of the projecting ornice found nearby to permit a reconstruction of the monument. Tripods sl()od on either end of the ba~e; between them were the bronze "ram's of rh r 'n Icgendan heroes of, \Ltica, tbe Eponymous j feroe~ who were the patrons of the ten lribe~ into which rhe popul<1lion of \Lt iut had beln grouped in 508 13.C. by J leisthenes. Whitewashed wooden tablets \\' r' aftixed ro the sides of the pedestal; on them were written noti es of intere~t to the citizens, ~uch as official announcements and proposed legislation to be put to the vote. The base was surrounded by a fence consisting of stone posts and horizontal wooden beams. The preser\'ed remains of the monument arc all of poros except for the projecting cornice which was of white marble. Judging from the excellent finish of the stone and the usc of doublc-T clamps, it would be possible to date rhe monument around the end of the 5th century B.C. Under the monument, however, is an earlier base which cannot be older than the mid-4th clntur) B.C., because conglomerate was used in it; this means that the monument of the Eponymous j leroes was constructed arounclthe middle of the 4th century B.C. On the other hand, it cannot be later than the period of Lykourgos since Aristotle wrote in 329-322 B.C. (/l/b. Pol. 53,4) that the Eponymous Heroes stood in front of the Bouleuterion.

In any case the construction must have been completed by 307-306 B.C., the year when the new tribes Antigonis and Demetrias were added and the pedestal was lengthened toward the north to accommodate the two new statues. Around the end of the 3rd century B.C. the addition of the tribes of Ptolemais and Attalis caused a further alteration; and finally around 125 A.D. when the tribe of IIadrianis was created in honour of the Emperor Hadrian, the pedestal was completely remodelled with a prolongation toward the sourh. The evidence of the remains and rhe results of painstaking excavations by T. Leslie Shear, Jr. in 1967 give us th full history of the monument from the time it was built until its destruction by the Herulian in 267 A.D. One problem remains: where was the pre-Lykourgan monument of the Eponymous Heroes? The Eponymous Heroes are mentioned in ancient literature from the late 5th century B.C. on; most of the ancient authors limit themselve to descriptions of the tablets affixed to the pedestal. The few notices abour the sire of the monument appear, at first sight, to be confused. Aristotle, as we have seen, locates the Eponymous Heroes in relation to the Bouleuterion, Pausanias (I, 5) places the monument between the Tholos and the temple of Ares, while the scholiast to Aristophanes (Peace 1183) notes "a place in Athens beside the Pr) rancion where statues which they call Eponymous stood." In regard to this last testimonium scholar now bclie\'e that "Pr)taneion" was written by mistake for "Prytanikon" which is ncar the Eponymous Heroes. The Aristophanes scholion, however, may be interpreted in another way which might bring us nearer to the trurh. That is to say, we believe that the earlier monument should be sought for in the area of th Old Agora where the Pn taneion (pp.1 2) was located. Other testimonia indirectly bear further witness to the connexion between the Pr}taneion and the Eponymous J-Jeroes. Tn dealing with the headquarters of the Thesmothetai, Aristotle writes that rbe archon had his headquarters in the Prytaneion, whereas Su idas (s. v. uQX(11) notes that he had his headquarters beside the Eponymous I-Icroes.

The whole hllilding seems to have been called the l',rcchthtion, tVCIl Ihough it cont'lined ,hrines and ahars of other gods. In the official decrees (I. C. 12 372) the building is rtftrrtd

to .1' ",; I"';'~ ,i h ."'"f"J." iI' '[I TlJ "!fl."'"'' ",'ui.!,,, (the temple on the Acropolis within which is the ancient tatllt)." In :lllothl'l' Cl'L' it is ,ingled out as the Icmple of the Polias (Pausanias I, 27, 1; Strabo IX, 396). The joint cuI ol \thena and I rcchtheus appears to h:1\ e become established on the Acropolis at a very l.arly period and the~ Wl'l'l' '\('n wOl',hipped in the same temple as may be inferred from two passages in IIomer(lliadYII, 80-81 and
Or/).riO' lJ, 546 551) and also from later Greek texts. The earliest tunpk of \thena and Frcchtheus had a . cries of successors, including the large poros Old Temple

of \thelln, which appear always to have occupied the same site. After the Persians had destroyed the Old Tcmple of \thcna in 480/479 B.C., the I~rechtheion, the last of the successors, was not erected on the same site, but a Jittk to thc north of it. This shift was not simply the result of the new Periklean plan for the Acropolis bur was seemingly dictated b\' the necessit) of enclosing in the temple the oldest shrines and tokens bound up with the legmds of the origin of the city. The architect faced asingularly difficult problem in designing a building to house rre-exi,ting cults and establi-hcd holy places. The results were most satisfactory, since in compo ing the building ,\'ith a free hand the architcct not only succeeded in \X'orking out an appropriate solution, but also in pn;scnting an admirable architectural composition. It is a unified work, executed on the basis of a ingle profoundl~ thought-out plan; therein lies its value. This Ionic temple with its rich architectural and sculprural decoration was started in 42l H.C. and finished, after a short interruption, in 406 13.C. The foundations are of Piraeus poros, the whole temple is white Pentelic marble of the finest quality, except for the dark Eleusinian limestone for the background of the frieze to which the white marble figure of the frieze \X'ere attached, fig. 290. In respect to the interior arrangements of the l,rcchtheion, the only certain fact is that there had originaUy been a cross-l\'all dividing the cella into a small chamber on the cast and a larger one on the we. t. The floor leyel of the western chamber is 3.10 m. lower than the floor InTI of the eastern room. There is no definite e,-idence for the western cross-wall and the two interior rooms restored in fig. 280, and it is just there that it has proy n most difficult to reconr the original scheme of the building. It is usually thought that the eastern hall was sacred to .\thena Polias and that the altars ofPoseidon-Erechtheus, BOUles, and llephaistos were in the two interior rooms in the western part of the building. Howeyer, tbe opposite view has also been rut forth, namely that the altars were in the eastern chamber and that the xoanon of "\thena Polias must have been somewhere in the western part of the building. Two considerations lead m to t~ink that the latter view is the more likely. In studying the route of Pausanias, it is logical to suppose that h ftrst visited Ihe eastern chamber of the I~rechtheion with the altars, Then again, I belieyc that the monumCJ1tal north porch would more naturally be the entrance to the temple of Athena Polias. Furthcrmore, the latter yj w harmonizes with the description of Pausanias, who explicitly says that the temple of \thena adjoiM the t mplc of Pandrosos. This testimony is reinforced by the anecdote related by Philochoros (Diolllsins of Ibli anussus, Oil DWltlrclJIIs3) . since Ihe cog I \V h'IC b enlerec I t I1e temp Ieo, f \ thena P 0 I"Jas anrl \.\Tnt tram 1hl re to th ' P,lndros '1011 .

adyla since they were mystery cults. Four stone door-leaves 2.706 X 0.82 m. belonging to two doors are listed 2 in the in cription I. G. 1 372; they should be assigned in my judgment to the doors of the two a4Jta. A third section, III in fig. 281, is the Pandroscion, organically linked to the Erechtheion and an inseparable part of it. In the course of tim the Erechtheion, particularly the western part, underwent various alterations and additi ons, the most important of which was the western cross-wall, which apparent! y was built because it became necessar to prodde additional support for the roof. One repair was done in 377/376 B.C. and another, more drastic on:' in 27 B.C. In the 7th century after Christ, the Erechtheion was converted into a Christian church, fig. 279. The Erechthcion . uffered its greatest misfortune during the Turkish occupation when parts of the building collapsed and architectural members were removed. Consolidation and reconstruction were mostly done between 1902 and 1918.

This shrin' lis .It the foot 01 the steep clill's below the I~rechlheion and near to the Pc i '" I' patos InSCrIption figs. _l)J 2l)~. The Peripaws \\ ,IS a road, 1100 m. long accordlllg to m), calculations which circ\'d h A .' _' . .' . . " ' e t I' cropolts, tolllnnng th ' Ime 01 the chtls at the hIghest possible 11'\'1'1 of the slope providing the sole me f ' ' a n s 0 access to th sanctuan s 'lho,"e th ' road. Th' sit, with the ,"oti\'e niches, which has been knO\nl fot a long time, has been identified b)' O. BronecI' as th' shrin' of .\phrodite in the Gardens. During the excavations of 1931 he observed directl), below the niches twO d'dicatory inscriptions to Fros and"\phrodite carved in the jiving rock, figs. 295-297. At the same time linds associated with the cult of .\phrodite, voti\'e reliefs, terracotta figurines and phalloi, were found in th~ ar a of this sh rine. The Arrephoroi carried certain concealed sacred objects from one place to another in great secrecy and passages in and nt authors allow one to infer that these objccts had something to do with growth and fertility. The type of votive offerings found in the excavations fit with this tradition. B fore the disco\'err of this shrine it \vas generally thought that the Arrephoroi descended from the Acropolis by means of an underground passage in the ca ve of i\gJauros and went to the shrine of Aphrodite in the Gardens near the Ilissos. The disco\'ery of an Aphrodite shrine so ncar to the exit from the secret passage, however, permits the conjecture that there was a second shrine of Aphrodite in the Gardens on the north slope of the Acropolis and that consequently the rites of the Arrephoroi mcntioned by Pausanias have to do with this shrine. Furthermore, in Athens it ,'as not unusual to have t\vo separate shrines for the same deity and there are several kno\\'n cases of double shrines, one at the Ilissos and one on the north slope of the Acropolis.

In th' second qU,lft r of th' _nd c mury B.C., the i\liddlc LOa was built, in keeping with a general reorgani'.nion of th' whole \gora in I I 'Ilenistic time.. The first impre sian is that the i\liddle LOa di\'ided the :\gora 5 U:lf' in two: bur this SLO, is design d ,,'ith columns on all four sides so that, rather than breaking up the unin' of th' ,\gor.\ Squar . it interconnecrs the two areas. The exact function of the '.\liddle LOa is nor known, bur ir;: \S ro hay' olfcred the crowds in the _-\gora an admirable place for helrer in times of heat or bad weather. This ,lOa. whi h is in th Doric order, had foundations of conglomerate; the architecture was of poros except for rh white marble me LOpes and the rerracotta roof tiles, figs, 305-30 ' ::\luch of the architecture with its coloured decoration has suni\'ed. Th g~'mnasium was installed in the area of the _-\gora between the i\liddle LOa and South Stoa I, and in order to close it air on rhe east the East Building was erected, The odd plan of the East Building, with its many .!nitions, was design d to sen'e the needs of a gymnasium, The most interestIng room is the one to the east, an oblong hall which originally had I\\'CI\'e marble plinths set in the floor to support "'0 aden rable or desks to rhe ,rud ntS; four of the plinths are pI' sen'ed. It ,,'auld be possible to surmise that this same room housed the library of the g,'mn sium known from ephebic inscriptions (1. C, IF 1029, lines ?5-26; I. C, IF 10,B, line 50), .-\ few y aI's afrer the gymnasium ,,'as in. tailed the plan ,,'as complered by the construction of South lOa II, built with material from the quare Peristde which was demolished during the erection of the lOa of .-\rralos, fig. 6--, The Gymnasium of Ptolemy ,,'as se,'erely damaged in 6 B,C. during the siege of the city by SulJa, and iron nd marble workers serrIed into the ruins of the East Building , and ourh Stoa II where the\' . remained until the Hadrianic period, The construction of the Libran' of Panrainos circa 100 A.D. and, a little later, the com'ersion of the Odeion of ,-\grippa inro a lecrure hall show that the Gymnasium of Ptolemy ,\'as still functioning in the inter...-al and that in the course of time it had de"eloped into an eminent edu{:ational centre. It should be nOted that in spite of the presence of ,,"orkshops, the original gymnasium area still retained its importance, for 1\'"0 buildings ,,'ere erected on the axi of the court. Their foundations are preser\'ed and they are probably temples the one to the east dating to the end of the 1st century aft r Christ, the western one to the end of the 1st or the beginning of the 2nd century. The '\\'hole group of buildings ,,"as destroyed in 26- .-\.D. during the Herulian innsion.

Thompson. stood on th ast sid, of the '.\[iddle toa and was probably related to the Gymnasium, Interestingly enough. H,-\. Thomp:on would place the tatuary group of J lamer, the Iliad, and the Odyssey on this base; rhe fact that rhe two colossal statu s of the Iliad and the Odl'ssey, found in 1869, and the inscribed base reterring to the I1i.ld. found in t lJ... all turn d up nearby would . uPPOrt this hI' pothesis, figs. 308-310.

GYMNASIUM OF I'TOI.I'.MY

ccorrung to Pausanias (I. 17.2) and Plutarch (The.rw.r 36,2) the The cion was Ilear the Gy . d . .. . , . . ' mnaSlUm an II. A. Thompson has Id ntthed tt as the sLluare enclosure within which the bones of the hero we d . d f . - . re eposite a ter Klmon had brought them hack trom Skyros Jl1 475 13.c. Around the middle of the 4th century B.C. the 0 hrin was made into a building. The old peri bolos wall with the frescoes of Poly<>notos wh'lch P p~n , n, ausanlas d . rib d, b cam the outer walls of a building the roof of which was supported on a peristyle. As in the case of it: ~ ighb~urs, th~s building t~o was des~royed by S:llIa and here too small factories and craftsmen occupied th rutns unttl the time of IIadnal1 whcn It was reblllit. VariOUS contests were held during the Theseia, the f'sth-al cd brated in honour of Thcscus. A triangular ba~e, found at the northwest corner of the Middle Stoa has r Ii fs of Theseus, Aigeus and :Medea and certainly must be a base for a tripod won in the Theseia, fig. 311. ' .Many topographers, working on the basis of the inscriptions and sculpture from the Late Roman Fortification \'(all where it falls in line with the Stoa of Atlalos, ha,-e attempted to fix the site of the Gymnasium in this area. At the arne time, howe,-er, others have maintained that the Gymnasium and, consequently, the Theseion should be sought for east of the Tower of the \X1inds where, in fact, many inscriptions and also sculpture connected with the Ptolemaion and the Theseion came to light during the excavations of the Greek Archaeological Society , in 1861-1863 near the church of St. Dimitrios tou Katiphori, particularly during the demolition of the Late Roman Fortification Wall in that area. Among those finds the following inscriptions relate to the Gymnasium: 1. G. 112 1041, line 23; 1. G. 112 1043, line 50. The inscriptions 1. G. 112 956 lines 15-16, 957 lines 10-11, 958 lines 13-14 and the sculpture group of Theseus and the Minotaur (National {,Iuseum no, 1664-1664a) relate to the Theseion. Consequently, the question as to the site of the Gymnasium of Ptolemy and the Theseion will not be settled finally until the area around the church of St. Dimjtrios tou Katiphori has also been extensively excavated.

The aqueduct takes first place in ~mport'Ulc among th' publIc \\'or,ks; ~)egun und~r Hadnan (125 A,~.), completed by Antoninus (140 A.D,), It was u. d throughout the centuncs tlghl up unul the present, proof of ils vilal importance to Athens and of its 'xc It 'nt can. truction. Th apacious res ryoir in which thc \\'aler collected is 26.10 Y 9.10 m. and 2 m. deep; it is on the southeast slo 'of Lykabettos 136 m. aboye sea leyel. The side facing the lown was embellished with an Ionic propylon; only a part of the st ps and two Ionic column bases survive today, fig. 313. Th' propylon was apparently standing until the mid-15th century after Christ, when Cyriacus of Ancona copied the Latin inscriptions on the architrave blocks. The inscriptions record the names of the emperors who contribi.lted to the building expenses (c. 1. L. III, 549). Pictures of the propylon from the mid-17th century on show only the left side of the monument which stood until 1778 when it was deslroyed and the architraye was used as a lintel in one of the gates of the cit\' wall built at the time. Today the architrave block IS in the Tational Gardens. The \\'ater channel, which brought the water from the Parnes area to the reservoir, measures 0.70 X 1.60 m. and at many places along the line it is 45 m. below gro'U1d level. It was built underground by means of manholes which \vere sunk at regular intef\'als of 35-37 m. In places '.vhere the rock was hard, the channel was simply can'ed out of the rock; in places where the rock was friable and crumbly, the channel was lined with stone and brick walls, The man-holes also had masonry walls and after the aqueduct \\'as completed they were used for inspecting and cleaning out the aqueduct.

The out '1' \\ ails of the Library still stand to their full height at some points. The walls on the north, LaSt and south, ,id .s arc built of large poros blocks in isodomic masonry. The west wall and the columns of its fac;ade aI" ot whIt Pcntehc marble, except for the bases and monolithic shafts of the columns flanking the propv10n which were of r-"::arvstian marble. ' . \ccording to Pausanias, the peristyle had one hundred columns of Phrygian stone; now only parts of the white marble stYlobate steps are left. The inside faces of the walls, both of the peristyle and of the rooms to the east , \\'ere richh' yeneered with multi-coloured marbles. Pausanias calls the eastern rooms oikclIlala, comprising the library itself in the centre, with reading rooms and lecture halls on either side. The partition walls, invisible behind the marble Yeneer, were constructed of various types of stone and brick. The sturdy ma~onr\' of the foundations, consisting of small stones set in mortar, is typical of the Hadrianic buildings of Athens. The building was apparently severely damaged during the Herulian invasion in 267 A.D. Probably the peristde was destroyed then, although it is not impossible that the prccious columns of Phrygian stone had been removed before then. \,'hen the Late Roman Fortification \X'all was built, the \\'hole rcctangle of the Library of Hadrian was incorporated within the ne\\' line of defence; from then on the ci\'ic, commercial and administrative activities of the city were carried on in the area of the Library of Hadrian and the Roman Agora. .\t the beginning of the 5th century after Christ, a quatrefoil building was erected in the peristde court; it no\\' lie in ruins, figs. 3?1-323. It may ha\'e been used as a hall for orations and lectures ..\t the same time the whole library mu I' have been repaired and the peristYle was rebuilt \\ith new columns on tall bases \\,hich ha\'e been preseryed. Both the building \\,ith the four apses and the repair of the Libran' ma\' perhaps be attributed to Herculius , the Prefect of Illnicum in 408-412 .\.D.; an inscription can'ed on the \\'allto the leEr of the entrance . of the Library (I. G. IF 4224) informs us that a statue of Herculius stood in the propYlon of the Library. The quatrefoil building was de uO\'ed and a three-aisled carl~' Christian basilica built on its ruin in the -th century after Christ was in its turn destroyed. Around the turn of the II-12th centun' a Byzantine church dedicated to the i\Iegali PanaO"hia was built and it surviyed until the start of the excantions. b

HEK TOMPEDO :

" . ..%U"C()II1ttuo~ veOJ~" was the othClal name ot the Parthenon even though none of Its dimenSions equalled one hundred Att' f 'rh . . Ic eet. eretore the name llekatolllp 'don must have been handed down, as IS generally agreed from a pred f . ' ecessor 0 the Parth non on th Parthenon Site, the large poros temple (570-566 B.C.). Much of its archl'tectu re an d ' palOted poros p dim nt sculpture have been presen'Cd. This poros temple is con.idered to be the ancestor of the Parthenon and is called Ur-Parthenon 1) yerman G archa 'ologists and "grandfather" of the Parthenon by W. B. Dinsmoor. Just as in the case of the Old Temple of Ath na (p. 143), howe\'er, we should search for a still older temple, of the 7th century B.C. or early 6th centur~' B.c. at the latest, which ',,\'as exactly one hundred feet long and thus came to be called Hekatompedon "the hundred-footer." This early archaic temple, the great-grandfather of the Parthenon, would have had ~ simple plan and light construction, with sun-dried brick walls on a low stone socle. Naturally none of this would have sun'h'ed except for the terracotta roof tiles. I consider it absolutely necessary to posit this earl\" temple on the Parthenon site as well as an early temple on the Old Temple of Athena site, so that there would have been an unbroken succession of two series of temples for the ancient cult which began in Mycenaean tImes. The great-grandfather of the Parthenon mu t have been destroyed when a poras temple was built on the same site; this new temple was dedicated to Athena in 566 B.C. on the occasion of the first celebration of the Greater Panathenaia. Several blocks of this temple are built into the north wall of the Acropolis; most of the remains ",,'ere found south and east of the Parthenon in the great fillings needed for the terrace of the Older Parthenon which was under construction in 488 B.C. The temple was entirely of poras except for some of the metopes which were of island marble and the simas, figs. 330-332, and antefixes of Hymettian marble. The reconstruction of the plan of thi poras temple, considered to be the Hekatompedon, is beset with difficulties. The restoration, however, should not be bound to the measurement of one hundred feet, as we have seen, but should be done simply on the basis of the existing architectural elements and in particular of the simas. The study of the simas by W.-H. Schuchhardt may perhaps lead to the correct solution. All the grear polychrome poras sculptures should be assigned to the pediments of this temple: Herakles wrestling with Triton, the triple-bodied creature or Bluebeard, fig. 333, the snakes, the lions tearing a bull to pieces, the lioness and the steer, fig. 334, and fragments of another lion.

III'.RAKLES ALEXIKA"-OS

\IE,vlA"OS . ., ~ . was in the deme of Me lite; this is the only information about the )ocation of th shrine given by ancient authors. The scholiast to Arislophanes ("'rogs 501) adds the information . \. 11,)t'lbl,' sllrl'llc t h at I t ,,"as ;,\ \ r .... . . . . . ) foundcd during .. I he great IJlague, and that the stattle of I lerakles was the work of th ancient sculptor Ageladas. Som of thos who work on the topography of Athens have tried to identify the shrine with the temple of t . oth rs ha\'e \\',Inted to place the shrine in the Pnyx area; but in 1911 A. Frickenhaus had identified the p aIS os, . H h :hrine with;1 big triangular enclosure which had been found on the southwest slope of the Areopagus in 1894 and which W. DCirpfc1d had claimed for the Dionysion in Limnai, fig. 351. Frick nhaus investigated the excavated remains, paying particular attention to the big square base, 3.10 m. to a id , and he ho\nd in his study that it had supported four columns for a simple epistyle or possibly a roof, . a type of heroon singularly appropriate for the hero Herakles Alexikakos. In support of his view he cited many \-o~iYe reliefs and vase paintings depicting Herakles standing near or sitting on the steps of a similar structure with columns, fig. 352. A mid-4th century B.C. relief of Pentelic marble in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is eYen more explicit, for it carries an inscription stating that the heroon belongs to Herakles Alexikakos. 1\0\\' that the consensus is that the Dionysion in Limnai must be sought for in the neighbourhood of the Ilissos (p. 332), Frickenhaus' theory is more credible. Furthermore, an inscription of the mid-4th century B.C. found in the Agora Excavations (Agora I 1749, Hesperia 5, 1936, pp. 393 fr.) furnishes a new piece of e\'idence which, in spite of R. E. Wycherley's reservations, perhaps clinches the identification. Lines 105-109 of the inscription define the site of two industrial establishments in Melite, fig. 351, 1 and 2. To the east and north the workshops were adjacent to houses, on the west there was another workshop, and to the sourh a road which led from the shrine of Herakles Alexikakos to the Agora. The triangular enclosure discovered by Dorpfeld, with roads on all three sides, is indeed a conspicuous shrine, as the scholiast to Aristophanes characterized the shrine of Herakles Alexikakos. It is right on the main road to the Agora. The less important road south of the workshops branched into this main road and, in facr, led from the shrine of Herakles Alexikakos to the Agora. \\ith the passage of time the shrine of Herakles seems to have fallen into a decline and in early Roman times the whole area was covered under a filling of earth 2.50 m. deep. Around the middle of the 2nd century after Christ the Iobacchoi, a private religious corporation, built their clubhouse, the Baccheion, on the new higher level. An inscription dated a few years before 178 A.D. (I. G.I12 1368), found in among the ruins of the Baccheion, refers to it as the Hestiatorion (dining-room) and Stibas, figs. 351 and 353. The original meaning of this laner term is "mattress" or "couch;" used here as the name of a building it refers to the mattresses or couches on which the Iobacchoi reclined during their banquets in the Baccheion. An inscription reading [hljeeov [TO he]eaY"u'o[r;) (Agora I 298, Hesperia 3, 1934, pp. 64-65) found in 1932 built into the wall of a house of recent times at the southwest corner of the Ao-ora is u ually . associated \\-ith the shrine of Herakles Alexikakos. ow that an inscription reading hoeo, ieeo ' IIeaxJ.to" fig. 355, has been found north of the Agora, we may conjecture that there was another hrine of Herakles to \\hich both of the inscriptions cited above probably belong. This other shrine of I-Ierakles is located at no. 5 Haghiou Philippou St., fig. 219, no. 242 CAeh. 20, 1965, X[JOVlY,,(L, pp. 52-55). In 1964, in the course of putting up a ne\\' house, the boundary stone, fig. 355, was found at this spot and also walls of a crumbling reddish stone belonging to the foundations of a precinct wall or to a building of the 5th century fl.C. Even though the boundary ~tone \\-;1~ not found in situ) I assume that a shrine of IJerakles was in the area, because two votivc relicf~ repre~ 'nring Hcrakles have been found not far off. One of them (National M.us. 43) reprcsent~ 1 rcrakle~ carrying oft" th . Lrymanthian boar and was found in 1839 ncar the J Iephaisteion; the other ( ational i\Lus. l45-+) repre~ents Herakles reclining, fig. 354, and was found near Monastiraki <lual'C in 1892 when the trench for th' \th 'ns Piraeus railroad was dug.

IIERi\KLI'.S PANKRATES
KRATES:

1n November 1952, a variety or antiquities was discovered during the . . . . 11' t' l'lr 'e drain in the Ilissos river-bed and the construction of the new highway, Basllcos Kon!fista auon 0 a ,g , . . . "lbl)\C the drain The finds were: a head probably of Sarapls, another head of a bearded stant\nou, running , ' . t \'lllport'lnt of all '1 \'otive relief of I Jcrakles. The finds were handed over to I. Miliadis, at that nlall an d nlOS .' time'th' Director of the J\cropolis, who succeeded in excavating the area in 1953-1954 and in locating the site of a shrine in spitc of all the difficulties which he encountered owing to the great depth of the filling, cramped 'Ind tIle t'act that construction was continuing at the same time. The quantity of votive offerings ,,or k -tng spac . ., ~ . ' . sho"-, that it ,,-as an important shrine in whJCh Herakles, Pankrates and Palalmon were worshIpped. 1 'ow that the IJis~os has been covered over and the natural contours of the land have been altered, it is possible to define the site of the shrine, in a general way, as below the intersection of Basileos Konstantinou and Basileos G orgiou B' Sts. The shrine lay outside the ,,-aIls of the ancient city, about one kilometer to the east of it, on the e;st bank of the Ilissos, wirhin the bend in the river as it swerves west. Since the modern drainage channel took a shortcut across the bend in the river there remained a tiny island between the channel and the curving bank of the Ilissos and here the excavation was done. Because of these limitations, it was not possible to det rmine the boundaries of the shrine, 'which must have extended to the east where one might expect to find its various buildings, altars and certainly at least one temple, judging from the fact that a piece of pediment sculpture representing Herakles was found in the excavations, figs. 360-361. The finds date the shrine to around the end of the 4th century B.C.; it appears to have originated at a much earlier date. It \\'as destroyed in the 3rd century after Christ probably by the Herulians in 267 A.D. Some of the voti,-e reliefs were found lying on bedrock covered by the destruction filling to a height of 0.30 m. and 4--5 m. below the present day surface. 1\1ost of the finds, about one hundred in all, were found built into later walls above the destruction filling. The walls and the graves found between them date to Late Roman times. .'\ great number of lamps date the latest occupation le,-els and the time of abandonment. This happened, apparently, when the Ilissos overflowed its banks in a series of floods and buried everything in a thick layer of and, 2-3m. deep. The study of the extremely important finds which l\Ir. Miliadis is preparing and the publication of the rich collecrion of votive reliefs will reveal to us the nature of the cult practiced in the shrine on the bank of the llissos. Of the three divinities represented and named on votive reliefs, Pankrates has the outstanding place. He was a chthonic god and therefore only his head is shown issuing from the earth. Most of the votive ofFerings from the shrine were dedicated to him, apparently because of his therapeutic powers. The triad Herakles, Pankrates, Palaimon is reminiscent of AsklepioS', Amynos and Dexion in the Am~-neion on the south slope of the Areopagus (p.76). Both are healing shrines, and the Amyneion inscriptions attest two uses of the name Amynos, sometimes employed as an epithet of Asklepios and sometimes as the name of a separate individual connected with Asklepios. Exactly the same situation obtains in the Pankrateion, as ~filiadis has rightly named the shrine on the Ilissos. One inscription gives the name Pankrates as an epithet of Herakle , whereas in all the other inscriptions Pankrates has a separate identity. Pankrates must have been the leading fiaure in the shrine discovered by the Ilissos, L b . for his name has survived until the present day: a suburb of Athens east of the Ilissos still b aoes by the name . of Pankrati.

Ilt1Rtll t)(.ln~ 01 \1'-.I)RO th,llS: The \,'aterclock oC Andronikos oC 1--._yrrhos or, as it is called, the Tower nfthe \\ inds, i" prescn- d in admirable condition. It was built in the beginning of the second half of the 1st century H. '. :In<l the flrsr mlntion in literature is in Varro's De Re RI/s//({/ (IIr, 5, 17) published in 37 H.C. Vitruvius (I, (" 4) ~i\ es imporranr information abolll the \,\Jaterclock; Pausanias omits all mention of it. The rower of rh ' \'I'ar rclock is octagonal, 3.20 m. to a side, stands on a base of three sreps and is built enrirel~ t)f whir P 'Juelic marbl .\t the top rhere is a frieze of the eight winds, each wind symbolized b~ a male figure wirh :lppropriar arrribures placed on one of rhe eighr sides of the tower orienred to the cardinal points of rh omp:lss, rigs. 368-3""5. On top of rhe pyramidal roof was, according to Vitruvius, a wcarhervane in the form of a bronze Triton holding a ,,-and which pointed our the face of the tower corresponding to rhe pre\'ailin!:!; wind. There \\-ere sundials on rhe eight sides of rhe tower, but the most inrere ting part of rhis building , was rhe inrerior containing an elaborare mechanism for a twenty-four hour clock, and possibly even a planetarium, rhe energy being provided by water. There is no doubr that this i a notable civic building, placed in rhe most important and much frequented rart of the ciry, the commercial marker-place. The special significance of rhis area is shown b\- rhe facr that this is rhe site choscn for the great market peristyle built b~- Cae<ar and _ ugusrus and also for other public buildings round about the \,\'aterclock. The Tower of the \\"inds was built, as I ha\'e ascertained, on a great plaza 100 X sOm., extending to the east of the Roman .A.gora, communicating with it by means of the eastern propylon of the Roman Agora, fig. 362. The plaza extended north as far as the main thoroughfare which crossed the city from east to west and had on it the \\'aterclock, rhe Agoranomion, the latrines and the building recently discovered and identified as the Pantheon (p. 439). Furthermore, the Diogeneion gymnasium and a large two-storey stoa should be in the neighbourhood east of the plaza. _'\rchitectural remains of the stoa have been found in this area and are stored, together \\'irh mam- other similar architectural remains, at the entrance of the Library of Hadrian and in the area of the Roman

Agora. It is a Hellenistic stoa in exactly the ame sn-le as the Stoa of Eumenes and the Stoa of Attalos. If more information abour rhis stoa "-ere available, perhaps it \vould be possible to identify it wirh the Stoa of Rhomaios recorded in I. G. IF 958, line 29. The architectural elements recovered from this stoa, rhe cornices, drums and base from double Ionic columns, all derive from rhe upper storey of the stoa. The Doric columns with their entablature from the lower storey appear to ha,'e been transported else\\-here for use in another building, probably for the replacement of the inrerior colonnades in the cella of the Parthenon which had been destroyed in a fire (p. 444).

The icllllic spot, described hi Plato, wilh the great plane tree, the refreshing spring, and Ihe shrine of cheloos, Pan and the ) mphs was, we beliele, at this p1:lce. This id miMcation is conftrmed h) a relief showing Acheloos, Pan and the \ mphs which is thought to han' ome from thi~ shrine and was found nearhy in Ihe Stadium, fig. 382. C.

' h b 'ld'nO's 11a\"c bcen de:t1O,-cd and helpful finds, particularly inscriptions, are totally lacking it is ~ mc t e UI l b ' difficult, often impossible to kno\\- what the buildings are and to identify them. Pausanias at the beginning of his tour of the llissos arca, in speaking of the Olympieion refers to shrines which certainly must have been n arb,-. Thc temple of Kronos and Rhea must, in any case, have been in the vicinity (p. 335). The shrine of Olym~ian Ge which is associated with the stele of the Amazon Antiope should be located at the southwest corner of the precinct. Pausanias mentions other large buildings sponsored by Hadrian in connexion with his description of the temple of Olympian Zeus (p. 402). In regard to these, it may be said that most of them arc far away from the place he is discussing at the moment. His description, as it continues, is not entirely clear. Although he has seen the monuments he describes with his own eyes, he does not give them in order. He simply attempts to convey a picture of the \I'hole district where there was a concentration of so many important shrines. On the plan, fig. 379, the topography of this part of the city is shown as it was in Pausaruas' time. All the monuments he describes are indicated as well as those known through other authors and through excavations.

1'1'1\ \~'F11,(l,: The e'-GI\'atiom in the region or the Kerameikos hegan in 1863 and were continued by the l; r 'ek \ rchaco log lea I Sockt)' a, int e 1"\ a bunt iI 1913 when the C; erman i\ rchaeological Ins titu te assumed charge 01 the e,-cI\.lIions. In \907 \. 13,Uckner hegan his work in the Kerameikos; later the excavations were directecl in k. r...iibler and, since 1956, by D. Ohly who was succeeded by F. Willemsen. In the last twelve years the ,cOP' 01 thL' e"ca \at ions has b Tn e"tended, supplementary exca vations have been done in various sections, and ,he architect C. Cruben has drawn up new plans ror the entire area, fig. 391. The nC:1\'aled area consist, or a small \'alley, through which the Ilddanos river flows, 44 metres above sea kn'l .11 the 10'" 'st point in the ancie11l city. Remains of prehistoric seulemel1ts, such as have been discovered .tround the \cropolis, ha\T not been discovered here wirh the exception of a Middle I Ielladic grave on the ,outh hank of the Erie\.ll1os and a lew sherds from the very end of the Mycenaean period. \t thl end 01 the 12th century 13.C. the inhabitants of the nearby settlements began to bury their dead on the h.mb of ,he Ilridanos. i\lore than one hundred ubmycenaean graves have been discovered underneath the Pompeion on the low north bank of the river, and a few isolated graves on the south bank. The Protogeometric necropolis extended west of the Su bmycenaean cemetery on the south bank of the Eridanos and small rectangular mounds marked the sites of the grans. :\round the mid-10th century B.C. the dead were buried in shallow rectangular pItS in regular rows and abo\'e the graves a libation vessel was placed at one end and a stone grave marker at the other. During the 8th century 13.C. the vases placed on graves attained to an enormous size; the monumental amphoras and haters of the so-called Dipylon style belong to this period, figs. 396-397. The earl) archaic necropolis of the 7th and early 6th century B.C. lies on the south bank of the Eridanos west of the shrine of the Tritopatres. Conical mounds of earth 6-10 metres in diameter were heaped up above the gray es; the earth was held in place by stone socles at the base of the mounds. In time, another rype of grave monument came to predominate: hox-shaped structures of sun-dried brick with slightly inclined walls and a Rat roof with a sLOne cornice. Throughout the 6th century B.C. gra\e monuments were placed on the graves, poros or marble stelai with incised, painted, or relief decoration, or statues in the round. In this period, probably at tbe time when the fim city wall was buil t, the Athenians buried their dead outside the walls of the city. The decree forbidding burials within the limits of the city wall is known to us from a passage in Cicero (Ad{allli/iares IV, 12, 3); the decree probably dates to the time of Solon and apparently the regulations were rigidly enforced around the end of the 6th centurl' , B.C. [n the second lluarter of the 5th century B. C. the gra\'e monuments became \'ery simple. The stele of the

/iroxCllos Pythagoras from Selymbria, dated a little before the mid-5th century B.C., is the only monument preserved from this period. From 430 to 338 B.C. the gray e monuments again became laborate and varied, many of them are preserved ill sitll: naiskoi, ~culpture, inscribed stelai terminating in anthemia, marble memorial altars, lekythoi, loutrophoroi, lions etc. The family gnl\'e lots arc a typical feature of this period; many fine examples remain on the Sacred \\'ay and on the street leading to the Piraeus called the Street of the Tombs. .\fter the battle of Chaironeia in 338 B.C., many of the tombs were demolished and the stone re-used, iu t as after the Persian Wars, to consolidate the walls and to huild new fortifications. From that time on elaborate grave monumeJ1(S were no longer built. During the rule of Demetrios of Phaleron (317 307 B.C.) a law \\'as passed forbidding the construction of e,"pensive grave monuments and small rolU1d inscribed columns were henceforth used as grave markers. In 200 H.C. and in 86 13.C. the cemetery was badh' tbmaged b\ the im',lsions of Philip V of Macedon and Sulla. As regards the roads of the Kerameikos we may ohserve that three extremely important roads (an out (rom th' Altar of the Twelve eods in a northwesterly direction to points far outside the city, fig. 417. The middl' one was the road to t he Academy, leaving the city via the Dipylon Gate. The easternmost road left tb cit\ through the Eriai (jate and led to I Jippios f(olonos and Ph\'Ie; the westelnmost of the tlH 'e roads left tb' cit\" at the Sacred Gate and led to Eleusis. This last is the famous Sacred \'\ay, with houndary stones marking th route, fig. 414, and with inscribed herms sel up at intervals of one Roman mile giying the di,tance from th

According to Cicero (De hniblls V, 1, 1) th~ distance from the Dipylon Cate 10 the enlrance of the Academy was six racca-Roman stacles (1068 m.); according to Livy (XXXI, 24) it was one thousand Rom:ln paces, i.e. 1478 m<;lres, This last figure is in closer accord with the fa tS; on the basis of I.i,,)'s infnrm:ltion we have fix 'd I he site of the entrance to the Academy . . 41

on the to! ographicailian in fig. 4J7. Distinguished Athenian statesmcn and Athenians and allies fallen in war were given state burial all along either side of the Outer Kerameikos road in the loveliesl sublll'b of Athens (Thucydides 11, 34, 5). The tate burial 'r 1" or " I ),aneI ' "or ' 'memorta . I" or "() u t er j,-era ' groUll d , tell/OJ/Oil ,)fllla, was a IsO ca II e( I I. 1 le "tom) po f]on me!'k" 'os h D or "Outcr Dromos". Just outside the DipyJon wh re the road has becn excavated it has a width of thirty-nine metres. The width of the re. t of the road and the route it follows has been determined, for stretches of the road and LOmbs on either side have been found in ;.,cavations done both long since and recently. Thus we know that the church of 51. eorge stands on the line of th' road; in 1930, during the excavations of P. ristophron, a road surface wa found cast of the church, \\'e t of the church of l. eorge exca ations have rev aled another road lined with many graves on both sides, fig . 418-420; it has no conn xion with the tate Burial-place, as A Papayiannopoulos-Palaios correctly oberved. ffhi road, 4.80 m. wide, run parallel with the Kerameikos road at a slight distance from it; it \\'a. for wheeled traffic and branched 00' from the acred \\'a)' at the point, according to my conjecture where the acred \X'ay intersects present-day Piraeus, l. The [Jaros wall of a gravc enclosure, exca\'atec! by J-'::. Vi ern isel, fig. 391 P, has wheel rut which doubtless derive from ,vheeled traffic rollin" over the \\'all after the t'"' "ra\ c ~ enclosure had been destroyed. To return to the road to the Academy via th Dipylon, 1his Dromos was originally one of the most ancient and importal1l thoroughfares of the ity, connecting th' Acropolis \ ith the suburb of Akademas or llckadelllos (p.42). hom the 6th century B.C. onward, distinguished citizens were buri 'd along the road and the custom of holding contests here in honO'ur of the dead was established carlyon (II 's)'chios, ';:T' I~'I;(!I")'I~!I (ii'(:"')' The earliest certain reference to the funeral games is in Ari totl (/IIIJ.

C, it seems that the Klepsydra spring house, preserved until the present, was built; itS \-cry simple architecture was partly determined by the shape of the cave. The plan of the spring house is a regular rectangle, measuring externally 7.80 X 6.70 m. The walls, 0.50 m. thick, of hard compact poros are constructed on the isodomic s) stem with blocks 0.40 m. high and 1.13 m. wide. In the back of the cave beside the spring a rectangular resen'oir measuring 4.52 X 2.23 m. and 4 m. deep was built, fig. 430. \\'ater deposit on the sides of the resen'oir shows that in antiquity the water level had never risen higher than 109.32 m. aboye sea leyel, whereas nowadays the water le\'el does not rise above 108.92 m. Because of the great depth of the caye, an L-shaped platform was constructed on the north and west sides of the reservoir 2.30 m. belo'" the ground leycl outside the caye, in order to facilitate the drawing of water. The sole entrance was at the north\\-est corner ,,-here a stair descended to the lo\\-er le\'el, fig. 427, 1. .-\r the ame time a large payed court ,,'as built at rhe north side of the spring house; it 'was used, as H. A, Thomp on conjectures, as a cistern to collect rain,,'ater pouring ofF the Acropolis slopes, figs. 427-429. The Klepsydra appears to haye kept its original form until the middle of the 1st century after Christ, although the danger of rhe clifF collapsing necessitated shoring up the roof of the caye with three wooden braces; the socket for them are yisible on the our ide of the west wall. In spite of these precautions, the cliff eyidently collap ed causing large masses of stone to break away and to block up the entrance to the spring hou e. In order to restore the pring house to working order, considerable repairs and alterations "'ere made. _-\ ne,,' entrance "'as opened up on the north side, fig, 431, 2. "-\s a resulr the western half of the payed court "'ent out of use; in order to keep the other half serYiceable, a ne'" wall ,\'as built farther to the east. It was in this state that Pausaruas saw the Klepsydra (I, 28, 4) which he mentions immediately after leaying the Acropolis, .-\ century later nothing of the old spring house was yisible. Continuing landslides blocked up the second entrance and one could no longer approach the spring house from the Panathenaic \'-:'ay. \,"ater was drawn up through a shaft driven through the fallen rock; this shaft, or well, \\"as protected by a solidly yaulted well-house, fig. 431, 3, The only access to the water was from the Acropolis \\'ith which it \\'as linked by a vaulted corridor ending at the foot of the bastion below the Propylaia. This construction has been dated to the end of the 2nd eentury or the beginning of the 3rd century after Christ; the way in which it is built, however, shO\\'S that it was a considerable undertaking and it is to be associated, in our opinion, with the fortification of the Acropolis in the reign of Valerian in the mid-3rd century after Christ (p. 161). The Klepsydra spring apparently continued in use right through the Byzantine period and during the Frankish occupation. The spring house fell into ruin during the Turkish occupation and, after the raid by the \'enetians under :\lorosini in 1687, it was completel) forgotten. The topographers of that period, guided :01'" 1\" th testimonia of ancient authors, located the Klcpsydra correctly, The Greek archaeologist Kyriakos Piuakis rediscovered the spring during the Gre k \\ ar of Ind p "ndenc i.n 1822. It seems that at that time the resen"oir was cleaned out and enclosed b) a '-et) solid high fortification wall and that the spring once again could he reached only from the "\cropolis, fig. 431, 4.

KODROS, NELEUS AND BASILE

m.EUS AND BASILE: Kodros was slain somewhere south of the Acropolis and was buried C"II '1s' "'" l"arJl from the literary and epigraphical sources. Much later, the shrine ofKodros I1e Ie ," h at t h spot were '" . , . . . , I.us and Basile was esrablishl'd there, beside hiS grave, fig. 435. In descnblllg the monuments of the Ihsso s (f 19 'i) notes that the 111ace where the Pcloponnesians slew Kodros, the king of the Athenians . . . ar a P ,\U~anlas ,) . d t \11 J'11SCrJ'ptl'OJl (1 G' 112 4258) records that his body was entombed at the foot of the Acropolis was pOJnte o u . . . . . Th ulform.ltion that Kodros was killed outside the city near the gate (l.ykourgos, J_eokra/es 86) or outside the walls (13 kk r, . lmrdo/a G'rarra I, 192,32) has misled some scholars into searching for the grave and the shrine of Kodros outside the Themistoklcan Wfall. Th inscription of 418/417 B.C. (1. C. 12 94) found in 1884 al the northeast corner of the intersection of Makriyi'Ulni and Chatzichristou Sts. indicates that the shrine lay within the circuit of the Themistoklean city wall. The t stimonia mentioning the city wall, cited above, must have derived from a very old tradition and consequently refer to the pre-Themisroklean wall which was much closer to the Acropolis (p. 158). The inscription is im'aluable for it gives information not only about the site of the shrine but also about its appearance. Recently, on account of deep digging for the foundations of new buildings, the whole area has been excavated and studied so that now it is possible to be more precise about the site of the shrine. The most important find was a boundar)' stone of the mid-5th century B.C. with the inscription hoeo, n) II/ceo, fig. 436, found in January 1962 ill sitll at the corner of Syngrou Boulevard and Chatzichristou St. This boundary stone together with the ancient road running past the boundary stone on the line of Chatzichristou St. defines one side of the sanctuary which extended to the north, fig. 435. South of the ancient road, considerable remains of walls bave been found; they date at least as early as the 5th century B.C. and because of their careful construction tbey derive, in our opinion, from a civic building, probably the palaestra of Taureas, mentioned by Plato (Cbarlllides 153a) as being opposite to the shrine of Basile. The shrine of Kodros, eleus and Basile must have occupied a large area because in addition to the sbrine there was a precinct with two hundred or more olive trees. The boundaries of the precinct on the east and west are defined by ditches for channelling off rainwater which are listed in the inscription (1. C. 12 94). According to the inscription, the eastern ditch passes by the official house and by the gate which leads to the baths of Istilmonikos, i.e. the Itonian Gate (XI) according to our identification. The other ditch passes by the Dionysian and the gate whence the Mystai drive out to the sea. W' e identify this latter gate with the extremely importanr gate on the road to Phaleron (XII) which should be located at the crossing of Phalirou and Donta Sts. \'\'e consider the Dionysian recorded in the inscription to be the Dionysian in Limnai mentioned by Thucydides (II, 15, 4) an.d we locate the site at the place where the bedrock lies at a great depth and the filling consists of mud, indicating the presence of a marsh.

YNO ARGI.S

'fl1C sitc is locatcd southeast of Athens, on the south bank ofthc Ilissos, in front of .J",.) OSARGf.S :J " .~. !,. . . G\t ( -) n"flr the kallirrhoc sprinas and thc district of Agrai, fig. 379. In 1896-1897 the British t h D lon1 tan . ,.ol.,..... h School of"\rchaeology, with C. mith directing, conducted extensive cxcavations in that area to the cast of thc church of St. Panteleimon. lany graves of an important cemetery of tbe early archaic period were cleared, and also thc ruins of a building of the classical period, probably a palaestra, over which a bath had been built in Roman times (p. 180, F). In the same area remains were found of a large Roman building which has been identili d with th o-ymnasium built by the Eml eror Hadrian noted by Pausanias (1, 18, 9). Perhaps the fact that "'. an in.cription (I. G. 112 1102) containing a letter of the emperor concerning a gymnasium was found on the site would strengthen the argument for the identification. Furthermore, an inscription (1. G. 112 1665) which explicitly refer to Kynosarge and sets forth the method of constructing tripod bases for the gymnasium has
(""1 '
'Slt"I'

been found near the church of St. Panteleimon. Definite proof that Krnosarges ,,:as in this area is furnished by two inscriptions containing significant topographical information referring, in my opinion, to the Dromos of Kynosarges. One inscription has been published by A. E. Raubitschek (Dedications, no. 318) and the other (1. G.I12 2119, line 128) refers to the "Dramas towards Agrai." A drOll/OS was, in fact, an indispensable element of a gymnasium. The ancient authors attest a drOll/OS both for the Academy and the Lykeion gymnasia. Consequently the Kynosarges gymnasium must also have had a race-track, dromos, where the young men exercised and it should be in the only level place in the area along the Ilissos south bank by the spting of Kallirrhoe, beginning probably at a point near the church of t. Panteleimon and ending in the district of Agrai. The precinct of Herakles, in honour of whom the gymnasium was founded, should also be near the Ilissos bank br the spring of Kallirrhoe. A decree of 420 B.C., fig. 442, found near the Lysikrates Monument, forbids the tanners to soften hides in the river above the precinct of Herakles and specifies that two stelai with the text of the decree should be set up, one on each side of the Ilissos. The region near the spring of I-'::allirrhoe is most suitable for tanners for there was an unfailing supply of water there. It is worth pointing out that during the Turkish occupation and for some years after the liberation the tanners were installed along this section of the Ilissos.

LATRI ES:

LATRINES

In 1890, an excavation north of the Tower of the Winds brought to light the paved floor of a building the rca I function of which was first determined in 1940 by A. Orlandos. It is a public latrine for the crowds which gathered in the large and much-freguented Roman Agora near which it is situated, fig. 362. The building is rectangular in plan, measuring 16.20 X 11.74 m., and is divided into two areas, an oblong lobby and an almost guare hall with a bench around all four sides. A great many of the marble slabs of the bench with round holes have been preserved, figs. 443 and 444. The building was roofed except for an area 3.70 X 2.90 m. above the centre of the great hall. By means of this opening the latrines were both lighted and ventilated. They worked in a very simple fashion, with the sanitary and practical system ofcontinuous I y running water. Below the latrines on all four sides of the hall was a deep canal built on an incline so that the waste products were immediately flushed away by the water and carried to the main cloaca of the city. This latrine is dated in the 1st century after Christ and similar ones of smaller dimensions have been found in the principal Agora of the city. One is located at the eastern entrance of the Agora behind the Stoa of Attalos and the other is at the southwest entrance near the Tholos. Public latrines earlier than the Roman period have not been found at Athens. As early as the 5th century B.C., however, private houses had toilets located near the main entrance into the house from the street. In many instances among the excavated houses of the Agora area pits have been found, sometimes in the courtyard, mostly under the surface of the road near to the main entrance of a house; these rectangular pits, lined with masonry, were used as cesspools. From the 4th century B.c. onwards the system of cesspools was abolished and waste products and rainwater were drained offby means of branch drains leading into the main system of drain channels under the streets.

I
'ldl\lN

\\ ' m,n infer from ancient litcran sources that the Lykeion must have been cast of the city' ncar the city wall , -' the Diochart's Gate (\'III), the springs of the 'ridanos, and the fountain of Panops. That is to say, it extended irol11 S\ntagma Square into the ~ational Gardens, where there is a foundation of a temple or other building probably b longing to the shrine of 1\1'0110 Lykeios, fig. 379. This may be the spot where an inscription (1. C. 112 1945) dedicated ro. \1'0110 in 45/46 \.D. was found; it was said to have been found in the Garden of Amalia , as the ~ational Gardens formerly were called. The Dromos of the Lykeion must ha"e been two stades long since it was used for cavalry displays and it must h:1\'e been near the city wall (Xenophon, 1le//enica II, 4, 27 and ll,pparrbims III, 6). West of the Dromos under the church of St. Nikodemos (I" 18 J, L), where an abundant flow of water gushes to the surface, is a Roman bath ,,'hich, in our opinion, belonged to the Lykeion and had been preceded by an older bath of the classical period on the same site. An inscription of the 1st century B.C., fig. 449, found near the church of St. ikodemos, where it may be seen today, comes from the gy mnasium of the Lykeion. Finally, in 1965 conglomerate foundations of a large building of the second half of the 4th century B.C. were found east of the Dromos on the property at no. 4 Xenophonws Street; this building apparently belongs to the palae tra of the Lykeion built by Lykourgos (P,eudo-Plurarch, Derelll Oral01'll1ll I 'doe 841 D; Pausanias I, 29, 16; J. C. 112 457). _\ristotle, the founder of the Peripatetic chool, taught at the Lykeion; his successor Theophrastos settled near the Lykeion on pri,'ate property which had gardens, a '\,'alk, various structures, and a shrine of rhe I\Iuses. This boundan' stones, marble stelai carrying the inscription hugo; .lfot'awv /\Ij~ov. One of these, last "'as marked our bl' figs. 447-448, has been found on the north side of Syntagma Square and has been studied by E. Vanderpool, who came to the conclusion that TheophrastQs' Garden lay in the region of yntagma Square. Since the sites of Theophrastos' Garden and the gymnasium of the Lykeion hal'e been independently established, the identifications confirm each other.

LYSI"-HATES MONUMENT

THE LYSIKRATES i\lo 'I'~I' Tis Ihe only choregic monument preserved virtually complete and it is also one of the most striking; monum nts oi its kind, fig. 450. The monument, on the west side of the Street of the Tripods, , has an inscription canTd on the cast side facing the street, fig-. 710. This inscription C. 112 3042), preserved on th architr,l\ '- indicates that it was built by the choregos Lysikrates in 335/334 B. C. The frieze sculpture in low r lief runs all rhe \\'a) around the building and depicts the adventure of Dionysos with the pirates whom he turn d into dolphins. This is the sole example of an Athenian monument in the Corinthian order with a sculptur d frieze. The Corinthian capitals are among the most beautiful and earliest examples of the type; in .\thens Corinthian columns cUd not appear again until one hundred and sixty years later when they were u cd in the temple of Olympian Zeus and they were not in common use Ul1til Roman times. The buildino- materials for this monument are conglomerate for the foundations, poros for the podium, I !\', mettian marble for the cro"\vning moulding of the podium, and white Pentelic marble for the steps and everything abO\'e, except for the panels of Hymettian marble between the columns. The high square podium, 2.93 m. to a side, re ts on three steps or, more precisely, a stepped socle; because of the steep east-west slope the three steps appear only at the front of the building and 0.60 m. on either side. There must have been a retaining \\'all starting exactly at the point where the steps come to an abrupt stop, curtaining ofF the view of the rising ground le\'e! and the conglomerate foundations of the bUIlding. Although the choregic inscription was alway's visible, the true function of the building was not undersrood and from the .i\fiddle Ages on it \\'as referred to as the "candlestick of Demosthenes" or "lantern of Diogene ," names which lingered on among the people up until the present time. The monument owes its excellent state of preservation to the fact that in 1669 it was incorporated into the Capucin monastery. The monks made an entrance by removing one of the panels at the northwest and used it as a reading-room and library'. During the Greek \\1ar of Independence the monaster\" \\'as set on fire and destrO\'ed. In 1845 French archae ologists undertook to free the monument from the debris and to consolidate it; at the same time a search for the missing architectural members was made in the vicinity. In 1876-1877 the architects Fr. Boulano-er and E. Loviot began restoration.. The main work was done by the French b o-overnment in 1892 when the :uildinob was restored in the form we see today.

METROO ' I TilE AGORA:

l\lETROON IN TilE AGORA

The letroon was excavated in 1907-1908 by the Greek Archaeological Society. The complete excavation of the letroon, the identification, and the exploration of the earlier buildings beneath were done by th .\gora excayators in 1931-1937. The most imporrant of the earlier buildings was the little temple . , fomld bdow the large northernmost room of the 1'[etroon which, according to H. A. Thompson, presumably hous d the cult of the J\lother of the Gods and may be dated to the beginning of the 5th century 13.C. After the Persian d'struction of 480/479 13.C. t1us temple was never rebuilt; it seems that the cult of the Mother of th Gods was transferred to the neighbouring Old 13ouleuterion which doubtless sheltered the famous statue of the goddess. After the! ew 13ouleuterion was built at the end of the 5th century 13.C. the Old 13ouleuterion served only a - a repository for the state archives; because of the fame of the statue, the entire archive building came to be called the Metroon. This tradition carried over to the Hellenistic Metroon built especially to house the archives, figs. 455-456. One of the four chambers in the Hellenistic 1etroon, the second from the south, was used as a temple in which the old cult statue was again set up and to the east was an altar of which only the foundations ha\'e been preserved. According to Pausanias (1, 3, 5) and Arrian (Perip/olls 9) the cult statue was by Pheidias; today, however, it is thought to have been a work of Agorakritos as Pliny reported (Nat. Hist. XXXVI, 17). The J\Ietroon was built in the third quarter of the 2nd century B.c. Various kinds of stone were used in the construction: the foundations are of conglomerate, the walls of poros. Pentelic and H ymettian marble were used only for the Ionic colonnade in front and for the front wall.. The many literary testimonia for the history and the identiEcation of the building are supplemented by inscriptions and other Ends from the excavations. In 267 A.D. the J\Ietroon was destroyed by the Herulians. In the 4th century after Christ a basilica was built in the ruins of the northernmost chamber. The central aisle is thought to have been open to the sky and around the beginning of the 5th century a mosaic floor was laid in the adjoining room at a depth of 1.60 m. below the original floor level. The precise purpose of these late structures is not kno'l.vn; it is probable that the cult statue of Apollo Patroos was set up in the basilica where it was found. In general, it seems to have been an important building, for many bases on which statues had been set up were found nearby.

The epistyle blocks, epistyle backers, triglyphs, metopes, cornicl'~ and an ant'l capital built into the B ule Gate all come from one building which, according to the in<crtption on three of rhe pistde blocks, \I-as the choregic monument of i"ikias the younger, who won in the contest: in th Th atrc of Dion~sos in 320 319 B.C. (I, C. IF 3055). In It) 10, \\ . B. Dinsmoor associated the architectural members built imo the Beule Gate with the foundations ,n th' south <1st corncr of the Stoa of Lumenes \Ihich he had discovered at the time and he ascertained that the "ikia~ ::Ilonull1cm had the plan of a large hexastyle Doric temple with a square cella. The foundations, measutlI1g 16.6 11.-9 m. o\"erall, are built of large conglomerate blocks; the toichobate of the cella is of Acropolis limesrone. The building fronts west and on this side the foundations are wider in order to support the steps and columns of the fac;ade. Both the \nllis of the cella and the triglyphs are of poros; the columns, antae, anta capitals, epistyles, me topes, and cornices are of ,\-hite Pentelic marble. :\round the mid-3rd centun" after Christ, the fortifications of the Acropolis were reinforced, appatently at rhe time ,,-hen the so-called \'alerian \\ all \\"as built. At that time the Monument of .1\ikias was dismantled ,,"ith care and the architectural memb rs were built into the fac;ade of the gate erected west of the Propylaia, fig. 462. Other architectural members ha\"e been found in the yicinity of the foundations and elsewhere so that it has been possible to mak an accurate resroration of rhe building in its original state.

The loutrophoro~ which are in the majority among the finds would in themselves lead to the supposition that this is a shrine ot the Nymph, for similar pottery has regularly been found in the Attic caves of the 'ymphs and Pan, such as the Parnes ca,'e, the Vari cave, the Daphni cave and the cave at Eleusis. In this particular case, howe\'er, the identification of the newly discovered shrine is attested by graffiti on pots, such as N_'vWp']; iE]c1 and. 0: .Yl~.u'7'E[ and clinched by the inscription ho'}or; iE(!ii j'l'vllf('Jr; on a marble stele built into a later wall, fig. 465. There were many shrines of the nymphs in Athens; the shrine discovered by Miliadis was specially sacred to The 1\:ymphe, that is to say, the bride who today is still called Il)'lilphe on the marriage-day. Loutrophoroi baye also been found in the shrine of Artemis Brauronia on the Acropolis and at the Amyneion. These loutrophoroi and those found in caves had, in my opinion, the character of dedications and were offered mainly b~' unwed girls, just as loutrophoroi were placed on the graves of both men and women, with no distinction made as to sex, signifying that the deCEasEd was unmarried. This is clearly recorded by the lexicographers (Bekker, Allecdo/a Graeca I, p. 276; Harpokration, Photios, Suidas s.v. i.OVT(!Oq;O'}O' and J.ovTQorpoQfil'; Hesychios s.\'. i.OVT'.}OqO'}O ai'i") and i.OVTQOf(O'}O'; Pollux VIII, 66; Demosthenes XLIV, 18, 30). The same lexicographers also discuss rhe main use of the loutrophoroi. On the wedding day the bride wa hed herself \\ith water from the pring of Kallirrhoe (p. 204), A boy or girl from among the near relatives of the pair brought the water with the loutrophoros. After the ceremony the bride offered the loutrophoros together with other Ya es at the special shrine of the Nymphe, the shrine found south of the Odeion of Herodes Atticus. The earliest lourrophoroi found in Miliadis' exca,'ation dated to about the mid-7th century B.C. and appar~tly we have here a very ancient shrine, since the custom of the bridal bath \vas very old as we learn from ThucydJdes
(II, 15, 3-6).

The iollo \ ing buIlding materials were used: sof t poros lor the foundation walls; hard Piraeu~ lime~tl)ne for the \\ alls aho\(; ground; blue-gre) I h mettos marble for the stylobate, for stairways and benches in the auditorium, and for the socle of the stage front; th(; white marble of PeJ1telikon for all the architectural members. The scaena floor \\'as pa\ ed \dth slabs of white and blue-grey marble, the orchestra floor with varicoloured marbles. Greenish marble from Kal) sto~ was used for the stage front, The main structure of the concert ball was enclosed on three sides, (;a~t, south, and west, b\ , two-store. . swas. The ground floor, with wall 0.78 m. thick pre ef\ed at tbe southeast corner, was closed on all sides, resembling the cry ptoporticu of the ba ilIcas at COrinth ( , . \\ (Inberg, Cormlh I, \, 1960, pp, 78-85, pI. VHI); in comra t, the upper store} was mo t IJkel~ surround(d b\ a colonnade. The floor of the upper storey wa on the arne level a the terrace of the .\liddle toa. The main entrance for notables and performers, embellished ",ith a propylon, was at tbe north, while the sp(ClatorS came in from the south ide, from the ,\llddle toa terrace. The square concert hall, 25 m. to a ide, comprised the orchestra \\ ith a radIUS of 10.17 m. and nineteen row of b(nches, which could comfortably tat about one th{Jusand ~pectator , fig. 472. Pausanias described the statues ~et up in front {Jt the Odc:ion and a tatue of DlOnysos worth seeing; honly after his visit the building was sel"erely damag(;d, prrJbably becau (; the roof collapsed. The building, howel" cr, was quickly repaired circa 150.\. D. in the reign of \numinu Piu ; by mean of certain alterations it was restored to working order, not, however, as an odeion but as a meeting place and lecture hall for the philosopher of the period. A cross-wall divided the \ ast hall of the fir t peri()d into two large mdependel1t area, fig. 491.

ODElON OF IlERODES ATTICUS

THE ODEIO OF HERODl'S ~\TT1n:S \I'as the third odcion to he built in Athens. The first one was the Odeion of P rikl s and although it stood to the end of antiquity, it had limited space and in time became obsolete. Bv 150 A.D. the second odcion, the Odeion of l\grippa, had ceased to serve its original purpose. Consequcntly the lack of a large, up-to-date concert hall had bccome noticeable at the time whcn 1 !erodes Atticus, the wealthy b n t:lctor of .\thens, undertook to have yet a third odeion built. Th date of construction of the last odcion is known within a narrow margin, for both Philostratos (Vitae Jophi.rfarlllll II, 1, 5. 8) and Pausanias (VII, 20, 6) ,,-rite that I-Ierodes built the Odeion in memory of his wife R gilla ,\"ho died circa 160 l\.D. Thus construction must have begun after that date and have been complcted no; later than 174>\.D. \,'hen Pausanias mentions the building for the first time. The Odeion had the scheme of a semicircular theatre with a radius of 38 metres and it could comfortably scat around fi,"e thousand spectators, fig. 492. The fa<;:ade, 28 metres high, was so massive, having a thickness of 2.40 m., that it \I"as not built of solid masonry but had inner and outer faces of poros blocks with rubble and mortar filling the space between. The walls were veneered with great marble slabs and the stage wall had rich architectural embellishment. The semicircular orchestra ",ith a radius of 9.50 m. was paved with marble slabs, and the theatre seats \\"ere of ,\,hite marble. On either side of the stage grand stairwa,"s led to the uppermost diazoma of the theatre , fia. 500. The entrances to the stairways and the long narrow vestibule behind the stage b had mosaic floors, figs. 497-499. A roof is an essential feature of an odeion and it was the roof of cedar wood which made this building so especiallr magnificent. Pausanias, Philostratos, and Suidas (' I1gW01];) all make special mention of the roof. E"en though the difficulties of roofing such an immense span baffle us, it is nevertheless certain that there was a roof, because in the course of exca"ations a \'ery thick layer of ash was found covering the whole orchestra and the seats \\"hich were badh' calcified, doubtless as a result of the conflagration of the ,\"ooden roof. K. Pittakis, who superdsed the exca\"ations, wrote that fragments of carbonized wood and a quantitr of roof tiles had been found in the ash larer. The burning of the Odeion should be attributed to the Herulians ,\'ho destrO\"ed most , of the monuments of the cin' , in 267 A.D. The Greek Archaeological Society began clearing the Odeion in 1848 and finished in 1858. \Tarious foundations were found in front of the Odeion during 1. Miliadis' excaYations in 1955-1959. These foundation are contemporary with the Odeion, but at this point the original plan seems to have been modit1ed and the foundations abandoned at an early stage. Tow that much of the Odeion has been reconstructed it is used again for concerts and also for ancient plars and other performances.

Om 10 III PLRH.II': The Ilr,t roofed building in Athens for concerts and musical contests was the Odeion of PCrI].,.l " \\ hich ancient authors pia e east of and near to the Theatre of Dionysos. Investigations carried out ,\I th,lt 'pot fift) \ '<irS ago t"l'Yealcd that lU1der the houses of the modern city there was, in fact, a large building \\ ith n1.\11\ columns buried d 'ep in the earth which reaches a depth of 6 m. at the north. Ever since then it has righth b en considered to b the concert hall described by ancient authors; Pausanias (1, 20, 4) called it a structure; \ itrl!\ IlL (\~, 9, 1) and Plutarch (Penkles 13) give the name "Odeion". The interior of the building is described as hadng , n1.1m scab and column ; the exterior was thought to have been an imitation of the tent of Xerxes and probabh had a p\ ramidal roof. Th Gr ek .\rchaeological ociety conducted investigations directed by P. Kastriotis (1914-1927) and by \. Orlando, (1928-1931). The north side of the building and five column bases at the northeast corner were clearLd. Toda~, the remain are again hidden under the earth and nothing of the Odeion can be seen except for a little part of the north side. Fortunately in the last few years the houses overlying the Odeion have been xpropriat d and torn down and there are plans for sy tematic excavation of this most important building. :\'o\y that the hou es and ome of the earth filling have been removed, it is possible to distinguish the plan of the Odeion more clearly. The last series of column bases on the south side have been uncovered, fig. 502, thus showing that the Odeion contained nine rows of columns from east to west and ten rows from north to south. Consequently, the exterior dimensions of the building are approximately 62.40 X 68.60 m. In 6 B.C., just before the innsion of Sulla, the Athenian themselves set fire to the Odeion so that the enemy would not find a supply of ,\\'ood ready to hand for the iege of the Acropolis (Appian, Mithridates 38). ~A,. few year later, Ariobarzanes Philopator (65-52 B.C.) had the building restored according to the original plan, as Yitruyius relates (\', 9, 1) and as two honorary inscriptions to Ariobarzanes testify. One inscription (1. G. IJ2 3427) was dedicated to him by the people of "\thens and the other (1. G. IJ2 3426) by the architects Gaius and ~larkos Stallios and Melanippos, whom Ariobarzanes had chosen for this work. The Odeion was apparently destroyed by the Herulians in 267 A.D. The wall found in the Odeion during the excavations had nothing to do with the Yalerian 'V,-all as has been thought, but is a part of the Rizokastro, a mediaeval wall which ran around the foot of the Acropolis in the 11 th century.

For the whole lon~ period of time from the prehistoric era down to the beginning of the 5th century B.C nothin~ is known ahout th l\thenian private house, for unfortunately the remains which have come to li~ht ar J1( ~ onh minimal hut abo in a poor state of preservation due to the various destructions they went through. Th gr .l\ st damage \", as inflicted hy the Persians in 480/479 B.C. and nearly as much hy the I Icrulians in _6~ .\.1). For th perIod between these twO invasions it is possible to reconstruct the form of private houses, . in J. gr 'at deal of e\ idence has sun i\"ed: walls, Aoors, wells, cisterns, streets, water channels, and drains, which also contribute details to our knowledge of the entire town-plan of Athens. \\" no\\' know, in fact, not onk the boundaries of the cit}', defined by the line of the wall built immediately after the Persian \\ ars (p. 151'), hut also the amount of space taken up by public property, shrines and pri\'ate hou es which extended a. far as the cit) wall in Hellenistic times. The street of Athens 'were usually narrow and crooked; in general, the section of the city containing the private houses was poor and the houses mean, presenting a striking contrast to the magnificence of the temples and other public buildings. The dens it, of the houses \\'as not the same in all quarters. The most thickly settled district was Koile, south of the Pmx, which howe\'er ceased to be inhabited when the dioleichislllo was built at the end of the 4th century B.C (p. 159). In addition to the houses of Koile and tho,e to the south of the Areopagus, excavated b) German archaeologist, numerous remain. of houses have been found in a great many parts of the city. But the most important excavations, in \\,hich a whole residential quarter of the ancient city ha been revealed, are those carried out by the American chool of Clas ical tudies to the north and ,,'est of the Areopagus. The plan of the classical and Hellenistic house ,,'as -imple. The different rooms were di posed around a rectangular court, usually without a peristyle; the number and arrangement of the rooms varies according to the size and shape of the property, fig. 505. Only the lower part of the walls was of stone; the upper part \\'a of sun-dried brick and the walls had a stucco coating. The floors were of clay except for that of the alldrOIl (mens' dining-room) which was pand ,,-ith sea-shore pebbles or ,,'ith mosaics, figs. 512-515. :\lany of the house apparently had a second storey; the roof was a1'.,'a) s of "'ood ,,'ith terracotta tiling.\ characreri tic feature of Athenian hou es ,,'as a roofed-oyer section of the court, generally open to the south, fig. 505. We identify this area with the pastas mentioned by ancient authors. This roofed part of the courtyard played a great role in rhe daily life of the family, as shown by the fact that it continued to be u ed throughout antiquity and even up until our o,,'n times, fig. 511.

After the destruction of the city by ulla and throughout Roman time" printe houses were rebuilt on a larger scale, with a more sumptuous appearance and finer construction and, in general, ,,'ith amenities superior to those of the houses of classical and Hellenistic times, fig. 520.

During dut period writers all agree that the temple was half-finished (Vitru ius VII, 15, 17; DI!,ai.\rcho~, 1 ife 1/1 Greece chapt. 12; Strabo IX, 396). \X e do not know exactly how much of the building had b lfi completed, but the eastern part of the temple had evidently progressed as far as the cornice, for the epistyle blocks, ,till in place on the columns of lhe southeast corner, arc all of the period of Antiochus. Sulla had columns of the 01\ mpi ion brought to Rome in 86 B.C. (Pliny, Aal. 11lsl. XXXVI, 6, 45). In the reign of Augustus th 're \\"a~ a plan to continue construction, apparently never put into effect (Suetonius, De vila Caesarum,
II, 60). The compl tion of the t mple i due to the Emperor Hadrian who ordered the neces~ar} work to be put in hand dUrIng hi~ fiLt \'i it to .-\thens in 124/125 A.D. In 131/132 A.D. the work was finished and the emperor himself porformcd the d dication ceremony for the largest temple e\'er built for Zeus, and he also dedicated the cmyseJ phantine statue of the god in the cella. In addition to the temple and the cult statue, the paved court around the temple and the great precinct wall were constructed. The precinct was fu]] of statues of Hadrian, dedicated b\ the various Greek cities, fig. 524. The ollly entrance to the precinct was through the propylon, located near Gate IX of the Themistoklean city ,,'all, fig. 219. This gate had long since gone out of use but the roads still

centllrll~.

com'erged at this point. The destruction of the Olympieion began carlyon when the precinct wall was demolished in order to supply stone for the new city wall (1" 161), built in the reign of the Emperor Valerian (253-260 A.D.), while the temple itself sun,i\'ed t\\'o or three centuries longer. An early Christian basilica was built near the propylon probably in the 5th or 6th century. Architectural members, mainly ceiling coffers, of the temple of Olympian Zeus have been found built into its \\'alls. Around the mid-15th century only twenty-one columns were standing; today there are only sixteen, one of which has collapsed.

I'ALLADION

P. I.L l)JON: In Scptrmlwr 1962 importanl remains were discovered w'st of the ()Iympieion on a property at no. 8 ~Iakri St., 1.90 m. helow the level of ,he sidewalk. Great damage had heen causd hy the deep rectangular pits dug for the foundations of the piers of a new huilding. Wilh I' 'rmission from the Creek Ar haco!(Jgical .enict, \lC' conductn! a small c' cavalion whi'h produ ed eviden e 10 show that the ruins were part of an unusual stoa whic'h \lC' idc'nlit'y wilh lhe I .awcourL at the Palladion, figs. 532 533. Tht: fOUlld:lliolls of Ill(' sloa, I 1.30 111. Ihick, ar' huilt of large limeslone hl(Jcks roughly worked; only the uppn surfa(('s which supportullhe st) loh:tle and the loi hohate wen: arefully smoothed. The poros stylohate, 0.65 nl. wide, is not aligm'd \\ith Ill(' outer edge of the foundation, bu is set in, Ihe foundation thus forming .1 broad \\ ide ste:p in (ront. The upper surface of th . slylohate shows signs of heavy wear from people walking on 11 and is otht:rwise in had ondilioll; the original surfat: is pt:rfe tly prt:S(.:rvt:d only wht:rt: tht: columns once qo ,d. There, lines and cireks in is('(1 with a sharp instrument ddine an interaxial spacing of 1.918 m. and a column diamt:tcr ,,( 0.53 m. There are: cuttings, 0.125/0.00 m. and 0.065 m. dt:t:p, on the stylobatt: ncar the ulumns and simil:1r ont:s of about Ihe same dimt:nsions !)(:side the interior columns of the stoa. The interi r col"nnad' is of parti ular illtt:rt:st. I'.ach column stands on a large separate poros base, placed dir 'ctl) on earlier fillings. 'I'h' top of e:ach base has he:en cut down to form a disk, 0.53 m. in diameter and 23m. high; thes' disks giv the pr(lise: position of Iheintcrior columns. The lower part of the bases, invisible below floor levt:l, wert: roughly worh.:d. 'I'hc floor was made of small sea-shore pebbles St:t in a hard stucco. The interior olonnade has four c"lumns wilh an inleraxial spacing of 3.465 m., not rt:lated to the spacing of the outer olonnade. The interaxial spacing bet welll tht: two central columns of the interior colonnade is dOllbk, 6.90 m., and there s 'ems nevn to have been a fifth column hut rather a small room in the middle of the SLOa. Only ils foundations of ruhble and clay h<lve survivt:d, lig. 533.

ha~

bel:n found of the architl:Clural ml:mbers of the sLOa. Judging from tht: small diameter of the

columns and from the traces on the stylobate, we suppose Ihat it was in the Doric order with unAuted column, prohably of poros. The wholt: elllablaiure was also apparently of poros, although it is not out of the question that some of it was xt:cut d in marbl ' because a greal quantity of stont: chips, both poros and white Pentelic marhle, wer' found in the filling, 0.30 m. high, put in to raise the (]oor level of the stoa. The toichobatc, of whi h a sm, II seclion is pres 'rved at the west end of the stoa, is of Kara limestone; probably the orthostates wert: prepart:d in the same quarry. othing t:rlain an be said about the construction of the upper part of the walls but they may hav' been ~un-dried bri k, for tht: floor of tht: stoa was overt:d with are Idi. h filling composed of disintegrated brj ks. Tht: walls wert: coated with hard white stucco, as shown by remains of stucco on the toichohate. To complete the dl:scription

the stoa we must report that thert: was a small room at the west. From what

remains (If it we on lude lhat it had Iwo olumn~ in antis in front; there should bt: a counterpart at the east end of the stoa. fn 1966, a wall 2 m. thick was found OJ a 101 at no. 10 Makri Sf.. on the same side of the street, built of the ame type of limestone as that found in the foundations of the SLOa. This wall not only makes it likd\ that there was a rnom al th cast end of the stoa; it also permits th ' hypothesis that there were SLOas on all four sides (If a s(luare or rectangular ourt bl:longing to a large publi building, fig. 435. The pOller) which \\ as (ound sh(lwS that il must have been buill. around tht: 'nd of the 4th or Ih' b 'ginning of th . 3rd entun H.C. and that it was in liSe throughout tI e J It:llenisti and R"lllan I eriods unlil il was destroyed around th middk of the 3rd cenlury after Christ. In rt:gard 10 lhl: fun tion of lht: stoa and o( the whole I uilding, we helie\ e tlut it was used as a lawcourt and thaI thl: room on Ihc wesl was the propylon. It is true thai the typical dicasts' ballots wc:rt: not found hne as in Iht: Agora, but the I' 'culiar plan of the stool with the small inncr room and parti 'ularly the r' tangular cUllings by Ihe colulllns for a railing agree with the descriptions of lawcolJrls presc:rv<.:d in Ih wrilings "ran'ienl authors who stress lhe railing (drJ'p!J,,!..I0J). a kind offence.

The cav D, D j discovered bj Kavvadias in the Acropolis cliffs does, in fact, seem to have been wholly sacred to Pan. The main part of the shrine, ho\"e\'er, was the area D z, figs. 116 and 536; the formation of the cliff face here shows that D z had ne\'er really been a cave the roof of which had collapsed, as Ka\~vadias conjecrured. It is simply a rougWy rectangular area facing north, with its floor on the ~ame level with the neighbouring cave and with the area just to the north ",here the stairwa) !Lading up to the Acrcpolis ha its tart. Rock cuttings for votive otferings are to be seen on all sides; the vertical cliff face on the south, 6 m. high, is covered ,,;th nriou niche for votive relief \\'hich would have represmted Pan and the ::\ymphs and other deities jointly \..-orshipp d \\;th Pan. The cult statue of Pan ,,~ill ha\~e been placed in one of the e niches. Thi shrine does not hark back to great antiquin.

PANATIIENAIC WAY

THE PA ATHF Al . \'r.w is 1000 metres long from its start at the Dipylon Gate or, more precisely, at the Pomp ion to th entrance of lh . i\cropolis. The American excavators have uncovered the greater part of it and the route of the Panathenaic \,'a" in the still unexcavated territory between the Dipylon and the Agora is also known, for in 1837 the monument of Euboulides was found ncar the Church of the Saints Asomatoi; according to Pausanias (1. :2 ,5) this monument stood near the road leading from the Dipylon to the Agora, fig. 540. Th str'tch of the Panathenaic \"'a) which has been cleared is not more than 10 m. wide and it has a rise of 94 m. from th Dipylon to the Propylaia on the Acropolis. It should be noted that the gradient is not the same throughout; from the Dipylon as far as the southwest corner of the Eleusinion there is a rise of 38.70 m. along a distance of 760 m. and for the remaining 240 m. up to the Acropolis the increase in height is 55.30 m. The road has a vcr)' hard pebble surfacing; the section between the Stoa of Attalos and the Eleusinion is pand with biD' rectanD'ular blocks. Above this point up to the Peripatos, the construction of the road is very diA'erent b b .due to the sharp incline. Great retaining 'walls were built on either side to keep the earth underpinnings of the road in place; in order to make the ascent easier, steps were placed at intervals, thus forming a stairway. Across from this stairway, on the north side of the great poros bastion just below the Propylaia, an inscription written in large letters was noticed for the first time in 1938. The inscription is badly weathered but the words flavafh/valwv and, in the second line, n]r; oboiJ can be made out, fig. 544. The inscription is dated in the second half of the 4th century B.C. and should, in my opinion, be associated with the construction of the steepest part of the Panathenaic \'(Ja). It was certainly a monumental work and on the coins depicting the Acropolis this section of the Panathenaic Way is the main theme, fig. 545. Throughout the centuries the Panathenaic \XTay 'was an extremely important artery. From prehistoric times on this road connected the Acropolis, at all times the centre of the city, with the rest of Greece. All along its length on either side were the most important buildings both of the Old Agora and of the Agora founded by Solon. The religious processions and various festival conte ts took place on the Panathenaic \Va). During the greatest festinl of the year, the Panathenaia, the ship carrying the peplos of Athena unfurled on its mast moved along the Panathenaic Way to the Acropolis, accompanied by the whole population. Philostratos describes the exact route taken by the Panathcnaic ship (Vitae Sopbistamlll II, 1, 5). The ship follo\\', ed the Dromos, as the Panathenaic Way was called (p. 2), from the Dipylon until it reached the northwest corner of the Eleusinion where it turned left, went around the Eleusinion and dropped anchor b\' the Pythion, according to Philostratos, or on the Areopagus as Pausanias reports (I, 29, 1). At this point \\'here the incline becomes very steep, Athenian maidens took the peplos and the whole procession made its way to the Acropolis; from the Dipylon to the great altar of Athena they traversed a distance of 1300 metr s.

P \NHHLl ION:]n 1962, in the cour,e our excavations south of the Olympieion, we uncovered the foundations, or, more preci,eh, the deep trenches which once had held the foundations of a large rectangular peri tyle with th main mranc on the cast..E'\cayatioJls were resumed in 1967 when a room, a kind of exedra, wa found proj cring from the middl of the north side; there must have been a corresponding arrangement on the south sid. The mo,t important r suits of the new excavation was the discovery of foundations for a small temple at the west end of the peri tyle, figs. 547-548. Onh a part of on corner of the building itself is preserved; this is the outer northwest corner constructed of big poros blocks set on a strong foundation consisting of smaJi stones bonded in mortar. The foundation trench s,2.20 2.60 m. in depth, ,vere cleared throughout and were found to contain remnants of similar foundations. The tilling of the foundation trenches consisted of earth and white marble chips, deriving from a reworking of the archit ctural members of the building after its destruction. The foundation trenches of the temple deld d fragments of architecture .howing that the temple was in the Corinthian order. The building appears to be contemporary with Hadrianic buildings: the careful way in ,,'hich the strong foundatiom are constructed, the use of poro for the exterior walls, and, in general, the lay-out of the building strongly recaJi the methods of con truction employed in the Olympieion and in the Library of Hadrian. Perhaps this is the temple of Hera and Zeus Panhelleruos which Pausanias (I, 18, 9) names among the buildings erected during the reign of Hadrian. The passage in Pausanias is not entirely clear and has given rise to much discussion, whether Hera and Zeus ,,'Cre worshipped in two separate temples or in one temple. Before the completion of the excantions, any opinion about the identification of the building would necessarily be of a provisional nature; nevertheless, we venture to identify the building with the Panhellenion. In his book about Hadrian's acti,'ities in Athens, P. Graindor has collected the evidence for the founding of the council of the Panhellenes by Hadrian in 125 A. D. and the building of the Panhelleruon in 131/132 A. D., the year of the dedication ceremonies for the temple of Olympian Zeus (I. G. 1\'2 384). Festivals and contests, the Panhellenia, were celebrated; representatives from all parts of Greece came together at least once a year in Athens and it is probable that these gatherings took place in the building erected for that purpose beside the IIis os, between the Olympielon and the Pythion, fig. 379. Hadrian ,,'as e pecially honoured in Athens and he was giycn one of the epithets of Zeus, the epithet Panhellenios (Epigraphical Ius. 2172, Hesperia 32, 1963, p. 73). The existence of a priest of Hadrian Panhellenio i known from an inscription (I. G. IF 3626). In a fragmentary in cription (I. G. IF 3623) mentioning the priest of the deified Hadrian, the epithet Panhellenios is restored after Hadrian's name. Furthermore, a passage in Dio Cassius (LXIX, 16, 2) tells us that Hadrian himself allowed the Greeks to build the temple called Panhellenion in his honour. Perhaps this would be the little temple in the colonnaded court which apparently was completed circa 137 A. D. It is also probable that the Empre.s Sabina was worshipped a Hera in the same temple wher the Emperor Hadrian was worshipped as Zeus. In any case, the cella is large enough to accomodate two cult statues. The worship of Hera, who was thought of as the patron god des, of matrimony, ,,'ould be appropriat in this spot near the spring of Kallirrhoe, the source of water used in marriage rites. The perist}le and the temple were destroyed when the Valerian circuit wall ,\as built (256-260 .-\.D.). The wall followed the eastern and southern sides of the building; this new neighbour accounts for th campI t demolition of the IIadrianic building right down to the foundations.

LIBR..\RY OF PA. T.\\. '0': In 1933, when the. \gora excayators were uncovering the section of the Late Roman Fortification Wall south of the 'toa of Attalos, they found the inscribed lintel of the central entrance of the Library of Pantainos huilt into th' east face of the wall, fig. 552. Since neither Pausanias nor any other ancient ,ource m >ntion, thi, buildin~, the inscription is im'aluable for it documents the founding of the library. W' I am from th in. cription that Titus layius Pantainos, hi son, and his daughter gave the outer colonnade, th ristd and th libran' "'ith the book in it, dedicating them ro Athena Polias, the Emperor Trajan, and th city of th .-\th nians. The in.cription also indirectly yields the information that the whole building was r t d iu~t after 100 A.D. In 1935, \\'h n the excayation reached deeper leyels, remains of a building were discovered on the ea t side of the Late Roman Fortification \"all. l"ot only did the plan of the building with its peristyle and outer colonnades agr e with the contenlc of the inscription cited aboye, but also the entrance to the building wa discoyered iu. t behind the tinding place of the inscribed lintel which had originally been oyer the doorway. The remains of the library are in relati\ ely good condition, especially the western sroa facing the Panathenaic \\-a\'; the stdobate of this roa was later used as the foundation for a section of the Late Roman Fortification W'all. Th northern sroa has al 0 been preser\"Cd in good condition and to the north of it there is a road which connected the Agora quare with the Roman Agora and the eastern part of the city. During the construction of this road it became necessary to demolish the southern taircase of the Sroa of Attalos; at the southea t corner of the roa a monumental archway marked the entrance to the Agora, figs. 549-550. The main library building ",here the books were kept mu t lie farther ro the east of the peri tyle in rerrirory a r er unexcayated. On the other hand, rhe room wesr of the peristyle appear to ha\'e no connecrion wirh rhe library. The doors of these room open only onto the wesrern sroa and ro the Panathenaic \\-ay and rhese room ,,'ere used as shop and workshops. The eleyen rooms of the Southeast roa apparemly sen'ed the same purpose. The Southeast Sroa was excanted in 1959 and 1965 and lies to the outh of the Library of Panrainos along the Panathenaic \\'a\', fig. 554. One of the most inreresring find which came to lighr durino- the excantion of rhe Library of Panrainos is an inscription gi\'ing the regularion for use of the library: "Books shall not be taken our of rhe library and ir shall be open from the firsr to the i.,th hour," fig. 553.

PlmlBOLOS OF TilE TWEI.VE GODS

PERtBOLOS OF TilE ,\L1'\R OF 1'11I'. T\\ ELV), GODS: The greater part of the enclosure in which the altar stood was uncoy I' din 1891 wh n :t trench \\"as opened up for the construction of the Athens-Piraeus railroad. 0 cvidenc for th' identification came to lio-ht at the time and it was immediatelv co\'cred over with a laycr of grave! ) J 0.30 m. high, on \\'hich the railroad tracks were laid. The discovery of thc rest of thc precinct and thc identification \\'ith the \It:tr of the Tweh e Gods '\\'as made by the gom excavators in 1934 when they found an inscribed bas ill.filll. This marble base, adjoining the west side of the precinct wall, carries an inscription dated to 490-480 B.C. saying that "Leagros the son of Glaukon dedicated (the statue) to the Twelve Gods." \\'~ I am from Thuc~'dldes (\'1, 54, 6-7) that thc Altar of the Twelve Gods was established in the Agora by P isistratos, the son of Hippias and grandson of the tyrant Peisistratos, who was archon probably in 522/521 B.c. The altar was destroyed b~' the Persians in 480/479 B.C. and was rebuilt without changes in the original plan by the people of Athens chca 425 B.C. The altar stood in the middle of a small shrine enclosed by a low precinct wall which consisted of a poras sill supporting stone posts and parapet labs. There were entrances in the middle of the east and west sides and H .\. Thompson has conjectured that in the second period these entrances were flanked by relief panels depicting scenes from Greek legend. These reliefs, four in number, have survived in a great number of copies made in the Roman period. Fragments of the original poros altar are preseryed and it is likely that a round marble altar with reliefs of the Twelye Gods also derives from the shrine, for it was found in 1877 in the vicinity of the precinct, figs. 579-580. The Altar of the Twelve Gods was considered the central point from which road distances were measured (Herodotos II, 7; I. G. 112 2640); for precisely this reason it had been placed at a convenient pot in the Agora, that is to say near the Panathenaic Way and the point where the main arterial highways converged. This altar also sen-ed as a place of asylum and probably because the protection of suppliants \ns such an es ential parr of the cult in this shrine fram the 5th century B.C. onward, the goddess Pity came to be worshipped there; she joined the Twelve Gods as the Thirteenth (Philostratos, Episl. 39, 70) and a special altar to her was set up in the enclosure. In time the name Altar of Pity came to appl~' to the whole shrine and there is no doubt that \vhen Pausanias was nearby, at the Stoa Poikile, he actually saw the Altar of the Twelye Gods which he calls the }Jtar of Pity.

IlllLOI' \1'1'0:' \10 T\IF, 'T: lkclu~e Philopappos was a great benefactor of the city of Athens, the Athenians honoured him with a monument,t1 tomb, dated between 114 116 A,D" built on the crest of Mouscion IIil1. Th' hill h,ld b' 11 within the circuit of the Themistoklean ity wall but at the time the monument was built n'ith'r th' w,11I which had been destroyed bl Sulla in 86 13, C. nor the fort built by Demetrios Poliorketes in _9413, . \\ 'IS standing al1\ longer, fig. 233. Pausanias (1,25,8) :,lyS that l\lousaios had been buried on the hill and that later a monument to a certain Syrian had b' 'n built on the same site. I Ie was r ferring to the exiled prince of Commagene, C.Julius Antiochus Philop'lppo~, who settled in .\thens and became an Athenian citizen of the de me of Besa, assuming various civic and r ligious offices. , Th monum nt, measuring 9.80 X 9.30 m., contained the burial chamber and was built of white Pentelic marble on a socle 3.08 m, high, made of poros and veneered with slabs of Hymettian marble, fig, 585. The north side, which was visible from the Acropolis, was, in a way, the fa<;:ade and had rich architectural ornamentation. It s ms that the monument stood almost intact at least as late as the mid-15th century after Christ when Cyriacus of .\ncona on one of his \-isits to Athens copied all five inscriptions on the fa<;:ade (I. C. II2 3451 a-e). The three inscrib d below the statues gi\'e the names of the personages repre ented. From them we learn that the central figure was Philopappos of Besa, son of Epiphanes; on the left, Antiochus, son of King Antiochus; and right, on the part of the monument now destroyed, King Seleucus Nicator, son of Antiochus. The two other inscriptions were carved on tbe pilasters flanking the statue ofPhilopappos. They give his honours and titles; today only the Latin inscription on the left pilaster survives. In 1898 exca\'ations were carried out in the arca of the monument and in the following year work \vas done to conserve it. In 1940, while we \.vere studying and dra\.\-ing up the monument, we undertook a small exploratory excavation with H. A. Thompson.

PNYX

PNYX: The purpose of the great semicircular area on the heights west of the Acropolis has, in the past, been xplained by a number of different theories. The excavation of the G reck Archaeological Society in 1910 definite! y confirm'd th idemit-lcation of the site as the Pnyx where the Assembly of the Athenian People convened. The d tail d study of the histor\' and the architecture of the Pnyx as well as of the topography of the adjoining area \\"as mad by 11..\. Thompson \\'ho carried out large-scale excavations at various times between 1930 and 1937 in collaboration first with K. Kourouniotis and later with R. L. Scranton. The remains found in the big theatre-like area showed that the Pnyx had three main building periods. In the t-lrst p riod, the natural hillside gently sloping downward to the north was used as the theatre cavea. The surface was e\'ened off by quarrying out the hard limestone, while on the north side a straight retaining wall was built to contain the earth filling brought in to create a level place for the bema, figs. 592-593. Facing the city, the citizens stood or sat on the slope as Aristophanes tells us (Acharnians 19-33; Knights 754, 783; Wasps 31-33, 42). It seems that stone or wooden benches were never used on the Pnyx. This ,,'ork, dated around the end of the (jth century B. c., may be attributed to Kleisthenes. By the middle of the 5th century B. c., at the latest, the area was known as the Pnyx, for at this time the marble boundary stones with the inscription hoeor; IIvy.vor; were set up; one of these was found in 1853 on the terrace to the south of the great rock scarp, fig. 588. In the second period, the arrangement of the auditorium was very difFerent. A high semicircular retaining wall ,,"as built to the north; it supported an earth embankment sloping down to the south, that is, in the opposite direction to the slope in the first period. The approach was via the two stairways 3.90 m. wide, abutting against the semicircular wall; the bema was shifted to the south side, figs. 595-596. The citizens now sat with their backs to the city, well sheltered from the north wind by the semicircular retaining wall and, more important, their attention was no longer distracted by the sight of the Agora and of their houses and fields, as Aristophanes ironically describes it in the Acharnial1s (425 B.C.). This new arrangement of the Pnyx, involving a new position for the bema, can be dated to 404/403 B.C., because Plutarch records (Thcmistoclcs 19) that the shifting of the bema occurred in the time of the Thirty Tyrants. The Pnyx of the third period has precisely the same plan but on a larger scale. The great semicircular retaining wall, still standing today, was constructed of great stone blocks quarried from the Pnyx area. The quarrying operations partly destroyed the venerable sanctuary of Zeus H ypsistos (p. 569) and created rhe great scarp in the rock, forming an obtuse angle in the centre of which the new bema \\'as carved out. Great stone boulders were placed behind the semicircular retaining wall to relieye the wall of the thrust of the enormous mass of earth filling heaped up to form the larger seating area of this period. The entrance remained at the north; it was now a single monumental stairway 12 m. wide on the axis of the Pnyx, fig. 599. This remodelling is dated 330-326 B.C. and most probably belongs to the building programme which included the construction of two great stoas bordering the south side of the spacious terrace above the bema, figs. 590 and 600. These stoas are not mentioned in the ancient sources and it is certain that they were never finished. Th ," were intended to shelter the people from unseasonable weather, places of refuge from sun or rain. They bordered the terrace which was an integral part of the Pnyx from the end of the 5th century B.C. on,,'ard; many of the preserved foundations for monuments on this terrace are of the classical period, if not carli r. The most important of these foundations is 5.85 X 5.10 m., exactly on axis with the bema; most probably it may b' assigned to the sundial placed on the Pnyx in 433/432 B.C. by the astronomer Meton (Hesperia I, 1932, pp. _0'7 211). The big rectangular cutting above the bema for the altar of Zeus Agoraios also belongs to the third I eriod; in Augustan times the altar was moved to the Agora and set up in front of the 1\1ctroon (p. 1(4). The big cutting 19/13 m. between the two stoas was also of the third period; according to the CXCl\'ators it ""IS t h ' foundations of the propylaia for the whole architectural complex. Lykourgos "was in all likelihood the initi,llor of the programme of the third pcriod, but the hard years which followcd pre\' nted the grc;\l programme from

bing compl ted, for it becamc necessary to build on thc sitc of the staas a new fortification wall, the famou
d/~ltflr!Ji.rIIltl. in order to ,horlen the line of defence [or thc city on this side.

In Roman times the Pm:\. was no longer so imporlant and the Assembly of the Athenian People met in the Th atr of Diol1\~sos (p. 538).

607 f'oundatiom of the PompclOo built In the 4th c., probably during the reign of lulian, 61 .'\63

PROPYL \1.\

PROPYLAIA: \\'hen the testi\ .11 of lhe Greater Pall:llhenaia was eSlablished in 566 B.C. there surely must have b n a basic change in the eharaCIl"r of lhe elltLlnce of Ihe l\cropolis. At that time the Mycenaean fortress gate must han~ b' n replaced h, .1 mOllumcntal eJ1lrancc, through which the Panathenaic procession proceeded to th great altolr ot "\tht'lu. ('Olltell1poran de\'c!o[Jments on the j\;! ycenaean bastion may be cited in support of this ,"".ie\c in _66 B.C. the alLlr of \thcna Nike was established on the Mycenaean bastion and the ground I y I of th alt'lr shows that b) the time it was set up the whole upper part of the Mycenaean bastion, which was of sun-dri d brick, and the neighbouring gate must have been demolished. Th' old narro\\" zigzag road, winding up to the Acropolis from below the Ike bastion, was no longer a satisLlcton- means of ascent for the magnificent procession and the first straight ramp, ten metres wide, was built. Parts of the pol)"gonal retaining wall for this ramp have been preserved; this wall, on axis with the Propylaia, is dated in the 6th centur)" B.C., fig. 608. The exact length of the ramp is known, for its starting point is circa ight)" metres west of the Propylaia. The appearance of the area just outside the entrance was further changed by the construction of Building B dated in the second half of the 6th century B.C. J. Bundgaard has rightly conjectured that it was erected 111 front of the entrance which explains why its poros architectural members were re-used in the foundations of the Propylaia and also accounts, as we shall see, for the erection of the Pinakotheke. The first marble Parthenon (the Older Parthenon) was begun in the short interval between the battle of Marathon and the nan 1 battle at Salamis. At this time the old entrance to the Acropolis disappeared complete I)" and in its place the first monumental Propylaia (the Old Propylon) was built; the Persians destroyed it in 480 B.C. The new Propylaia built by Mnesikles, begun in 437 and finished in 432 B.C., was aligned with the old ramp, the ,,"".idth of which was almost doubled so as to equal the width of the central building of the Propylaia. In order to hold the masses of earth for the enlarged ramp in place, a retaining wall was built north of the polygonal retaining wall; the new retaining ,,-all, some of which still stands, was made of poros blocks laid in sloping courses, fig. 609. The classical ramp was also eighty metres long; it apparently took its start where the 6th century B.C. ramp began, probably at the juncture of the Panathenaic \Xlay with the Peripatos. Ftom the foot of the ramp to the lowest step of the Propylaia there is a rise of 25 metres. Steps placed at intervals will have made this steep incline easier to negotiate. But this sharp incline should not cause surprise, because the upward stretch of the Panathenaic Way between the Eleusinion and the Kleps)"dra is also eighty metres long and has exactly the same gradient, fig. 540. The broad ramp leading up to the Propylaia is the only possible reason for the five door. Furthermore, the """.ings on either side of the Propylaia were designed to frame the ramp. "\s regards the scheme of the two """.ings, I believe that Mnesikles attempted to make only the fac;ades of the two 'wings symmetrical and that he never intended two absolutely symmetrical buildings not only because the requisite space ,,"as lacking but also because the wings were designed for different purposes, fig. 614. The south wing ,,'ith its open porch was meant to make the shrine of Athena ike easily accessible, whereas the north wing, the Pinakotheke as it is usually called, had an entirely different function. The entrance to the Pinakotheke was shifted off axis not, as is commonly thought, for aesthetic reasons, but for a practical reason, so that dining-couches could be installed. Both the dimensions of the chamber and the amounts of wall space available when the door is orf centre aUo\\ for a normal arrangement of dining-couches, such as in the dining-rooms (androns) of pri"ate hOllS s, figs. 618--619. Pausanias calls the Pinakotheke an oikclllfl (1, 22, 6) and describes the paintings in it. Such a chamb r \\"t)uld have been an admirable place for refreshment and relaxation for the pilgrims to the" \cropolis shrines, r ctlling the lesche of the Knidians in Delphi or other buildings with a similar function in man)' other shrin s. The Propylaia proper was the central building with the five doors; it was this part of the whole campI ''I. \\ hich was copied with the same dimensions in the 2nd century after Christ in Elcusis, as the main entelnce to th' shrine. Probably it wa~ only because Building 13 was there, evidently serving much the same purpose :IS th Pin.lkotheke, that Mnesikles conceived the plan of building two wings flanking the Propylaia on the Acropolis.

Jt became known only throu~h th' pre~nH'd arehilt'Ctllle and the dedicatory inscription /. C. 11 2 3173 which is carved on one of the round ,pi~tI It' blocks, hg. 625. The inscripl ion lies in [rOIll of the cast side of the Parthenon on the site where Cy riacu~ of \ncona sa\1 and first copied it in the 15th century after Christ. It is not known whether or not other ar hitcclural mcmber~ of lhl~ building were found at the same spot or were transported there from other parts of th' \cropolis. In am' casc it is certain lhat in addition to the inscribed epistyle block at least two other pistd . blocks wcre found in the same spot. Th pr scn'ed architectural members make it possible to reconstruct completely in all details the plan of an Ionic circular monopteral temple, with the greatest diameter 8.60 m., and with nine columns. Built entirely of \I'hite marble, the building had one step and the stylobate on which the nine columns stood, faithful copies of the columns of the Erechtheion. The inscribed epistyle was over the central intercolumniation which was wider than the others and apparently faced east. The building had a steeply sloping conical marble roof, fig. 624. In exactly that spot, in front of the Parthenon, a large square foundation, 11-12 m. to the side, has been preserved and it \vas investigated by Ka"vadias and Kawerau in the course of the excavations of 1885-1890, fig. 626. From that time on it has been bclieyed tbat this was the foundation for the round temple. The foundation consists of two courses of large poros blocks deriving from another older building. Because of the steep slope of the hill from north to south, a section of the foundation is supported on rock which has been levelled down for the purpose, whereas the greater part of the foundation is supported by an artificial filling consisting of stones very carefully set in place. A~ for the date of the construction of the temple, it has been fixed with great precision as after 27 B.C., since the inscription refers to the emperor by his title Augustus. Perhaps, indeed, the temple was erected immediately after that year, as is generally believed. The construction apparently coincided with the repair of the west side of the Erechtheion, a geison block from which was found built into the foundations of the circular temple.

Decem Ora/Orll/II r/tlae 841 D; I. G. 11 2 457) was the P'ln.Hh naie st.ldl\ll11, huilt for the lrack cOl1lests held during the festival of the GreaterPanathenaia; thes comp titium Iud fOll11Crh l.ken place in Ihe, \gora Square (pp. 2-3). The work seems to have been primarily a matter of rerno\ ing enou~h carth in order 10 level off the gully which lay between the two hillocks by the Ilissos rh er. \s in the easc of most Greek stadia it had a very simple scheme, consisting of a racetrack (dromo,,) \\ here the contcsts \\ ere put on and a place for spectators (/hea/ron) which was rectangular in phn \\ ith a gentle slope do\\ n to\\'ard the track and with a few rows of stone benches for onlookers. The r.K track had a length of exactly one stade; apparently the term s/adioll came to be applied to the e!)tire structure: the r.1C track and the seats for onlookers. The stadium should be dated circa 330/329 B.C. because an inscription dat d to that year expresses public thanks to a certain Eudemos who donated one thousand yoke of oxen for hauling operations during construction (I. C. 112 351). Yarious repair done on the stadium are mentioned in other inscriptions, such as I. C. 112 677 dated to the last quarter of the third century B.C. and 1. C. 112 1035 of the Roman period. As the result of remodelling or, to put it more exactly, of the construction of a new stadium, done by Herodes Atticus in the interval between the Panathenaia of 139/140 and 143/144 A. D., it assumed the form of a Roman stadium with the semicircular sphendone and slightly cun-ed sides, and the whole auditorium accommodating fifty thousand spectators was of white Pentelic marble. Philostratos (Vitae Soph;startll11 II, 1, 5) and Pausanias (I, 19, 6) both speak of it with admiration aad describe it as one of the most beautiful stadia of their times. Herode _\nicus may also ha,-e built a bridge 'with three arches across the llissos, preserved until 1778, and the temple of Tyche on the top ofArdettos hill. Philo tratos (Vitae Sophistarll/II II, 1, 5) mentions a chryselephantine tatue of the goddess of Fortune in the temple. The grave of Herodes should be on the opposite hill, east of the radium. Perhaps the ruins of an oblong building are remains of his tomb, fig. 630. The stadium soon came to be used for gladiatorial contests and wild beast fights; as we learn from Spartianus (Vita Hadriani 19,3), Hadrian organized a hU.llt of a thousand wild beasts. In Late Roman tinles a real arena was built, 54 X 33.36 m., ,,'ith a semicircular \\'all at the north corresponding to the sphendone at the south. \\e do not know when the stadium was destroyed. Only a ,-ery few of the seats and a small part of the parapet of the sphendone ha,'e been preserved; all the marble disappeared, the slopes of the hill were co,-ered over ,,'ith earth and undergrowth, and the site once more took on its original appearance as a natural dell. In 1869-1870 E. Ziller excavated the stadium and we o\.,-e to him the information ,,'e have about the ancient stadium directly after it had been cleared and the plans showing how it looked at the time, fig. 629. Excantiom and investigations continued for many years in order to clarify details needed for the extremely accurate reconstruction. The restoration was done on the basis of Ziller's plans under the supervision of A. i-Ietaxas, subsidized by G. A veroff, the modern benefactor of the city. In 1896 the stadium was dedicated on the occasion of the fir. t celebration of the international Olympic Games.

Athcnaeus ( ,212 e, f) i. the sole source for the fact that the Stoa of Attalos was in the Agora. During the excavations of 1861, the ru ins of a bui [ding uncovered on the cast side of the Agora were identified , a. th ,toa of l\ttalo. \\'h n the inscribed epistyle blocks of the building were found. The dedicatory inscription 2 3171 and giv s th name of th donor, "King ttalos, son of King Attalos and of Queen Apollonis" (I. C. 11 , .\gora I 6135). The in.cription refers to King Attalos II of Pergamon who donated the staa to the people of -".th ns during his reign, 159-138 B.C. The t\\'o-star y stoa is 11.42 m. high, 111.96 m. long, and 19.52 m. wide; each storey has twenty-one rooms. \-ariou materials "'ere u ed in construction: ,,-hite Pentelic marble, blue-grey Hymettian marble, hard Piraeus lim. tone. and conglomerate for the foundations. The colonnades which form the fa<;ade facing on the Agora ~ quar \\'ere built of 'white marble except for the steps and the stylobates of the two storeys which were of Hym ttian marble. The interior columns and the door lintels were also of white marble. Hymcttian marble was u ed for the toichobate, orthostates and string course of the front wall, and for the door jambs and the steps of the stairs leading to the upper storey. The rest of the walls, the dividing walls of the rooms and the outer walls to their full height including the cornice were of Piraeus limestone. Only the parapet of the upper storey had painted decoration, blue for the interstices and red for the vertical lance-shaped lines in the central and framing
.\1'1' \LOS:

panels. Parts of the stoa are in good condition and its \\'alls have been preserved to their full height at two points; the square apertures in the \\'alls enable us to recover both the arrangement and the dimensions of the wooden beams in the first floor ceiling and in the roof. The rooms in both storeys \\-ere lighted through the doorways. The tiny windows 0.08 X 0.73 m. in the back \\'all opposite ta the doors served only for ventilation. The big openings at either end of the stoa probably had the same purpose: by creating air currents they ventilated the colonnades. Stairways at either end of the stoa gave access to the upper torey. Each flight of stairs had 28 steps 0.228 m. high and 0.325 m. wide. The Agora Square slopes down toward the north and because of the great difference in ground level between the south and north ends of the stoa it was necessaf\' to build a terrace in front of the stoa at the level of the euthynteria. This lofty terrace, 7.33 m. wide, stretching from one end of the stoa to the other, set the building, as it were, on a pedestal and created a great free space in front of it. The southern end of the terrace is at right angles to the stoa but the northern edge is out of line because it followed the line of the outer wall of the Square Peristyle, an earlier building on the site (p. 520). Traces of a fountain house have been found at the south end of the stoa. The foundations show that the stoa had originally been planned on a much smaller scale with a length of 78.64 m. and with only fourteen rooms, 4.91 m. wide, fig. 636 B. Ho\\'cver, when the section shown in black on the plan, A, was completed, it was decided to extend the stoa toward the south by adding four more rooms of smaller dimensions and to construct outside stairways 2.21 m. wide, C. Before this project \Vas finished, however, a new extension was planned, this time northwards with the addition of three rooms, 4.11 m. ,,-ide, fig. 636 D. Thus the number of rooms on both floors reached a total of fort}-two; some of these were offices while others were shops where various merchandise was sold. The stoa was a prestigious place for setting up statues and portraits to the various benefactors of the city, a we learn from decrees on inscriptions (/. G. II2 1043; Agora I 5990). Both the upper store, and the terrae could acc~mmodate large crowds and furnished an excellent vantage point from which to dew the cant sts and festIvals celebrated in the Agora Square. Many ?edestals for monuments have been found in front of the staa; the most important of th s wa, found n the aXJS of the stoa. The surviving blocks show that this monument was similar to the grippa lonument, fig. 622, and it was dedicated to King Attalos II. The Roman inscription carved on three of th block (I. G. III 4209; Agora I 6120 a, b) indicates that it was later rededicated to Tiberius. In Roman times the stoa underwent certain alterations. When the Library of Pantainos \\"ll built outh f

OF ATTALOS, EARL1F.R BUILDINGS

EARLIER BUILDI GS BE EATlI TilE STOA OF ArrALOs: An carly ccmctcry has bcen found beneath the lower northern half of th Staa of :\ttalos and in the arcas immediatcly bchind and in front of the stoa; graves of the 1>r"cena an to Gcom tric pcriods \"crc found on the rock surfacc or hewn out of the rock. Th r w r no stru tnrcs in this arca until the 5th century B.C.; the Agora Square extended to the east as far as th sit, Jat r occupied by thc Roman Agora (p. 28). The carliest rcmains of buildings have becn found on the sit' of the arlier ccmetery and arc datcd to the end of thc 5th or the beginning of the 4th century B.C., fig. 65'. Th y form a single complex bclonging to a civic building, probably a lawcourt, as may be inferred from th r c ptacJe for ba]]ots prescl\'cd ill sitll, figs. 658-659. The dicasts' ballots were found in it, thus providing firm yidcncc for the identification of at least one of the ancient lawcourts mentioned by Pausanias (1,28, 8-11), PO]]lL'" (VIII, 117 ff.) and other authors and lexicographers. Most of the lawcourts lay in the Agora area, both on the east side, where thc Heliaia probably was, fig. 5, and on the west side south of the Tholos, where many dicasts' ballots have been found in the course of the excavations. The court of the Areopagus must bc located on the h ill of the same name, while the Lawcourt at the Delphinion (p. 3) and the Lawcourt at the Palladion (p. 412) should be south of thc Acropolis near the Ilissos. The great Square Peristyle, 58.80 m. to the side, was built in the 4th century B.C. when Lykourgos was in power (338-326 B.C.) on the ruins of the lawcourt found under the Stoa of Attalos; apparently it too was designed as a lawcourt. The Square Peristyle is very carefully built of poros blocks with conglomerate foundations. The building seems never to have been completed and after about two centuries its wall blocks and architectural members were re-used in the construction of South Stoa II (p. 233). In the short interval between the demolition of the Square Peristyle and the erection of the Stoa of Attalos (159-138 B.C.) a small building partly overlying the southeast corner of the Square Peristyle was put up; it had five pairs of rooms and its purpose has not yet been determined, fig. 657.

I \ 'n b tore the t"C.1\ .\lioll ot the rtnl.lin::., there had bten no doubt that thrrr was a ~lOa brtween the Theatre of Diol1l '0' and the Odeion of llerodes Aui u>, bUl it had been con,idered to be Roman. After the Greek \r ha ologic.ll S )Cieri h.ld fllih cleared the remain, in 1877 1878,\\. Diirpfeld maintained that the building wa , of Iltllni'tie d.lIC and he attributed it to the Pergamclle k.Jng, l:um(;ne~ II (197 159 B.C.). \t the arne time Ph. \ r,aki, pro\ l d on the e\ idence of the architecture found ncar b) lhat the ,toa hac! two store) s and was of the ,ame [\ p a, the Stoa of \tlalos. ow lhat the laller has been so meticulously ~ludied we arc in a position to conl1rm th' fact that the architectural clements of the two staas closely resemble each other and mac have b n dc,igned b\ the same architect. The onh difference, which depends on the differing functions of the two 'to.l', is that the 'toa of l'umenes has no ,hops. Th ::.toa \\ as placed along the line of the Peripalos road which fllns above it; in order to create a level site, the builder, dug down to a great depth, 9 m. at the cast end of the back wall of the toa and 13 m. at the west end. To hold the earth embankment in place it was necessary to con truct a strong retaining wall, reinforced with buttresses connected b\ semicircular arches, fig. 660. The materials used in the \'arious part of the stoa were: conglomerate, hard Piraeus lime::.tone, II) mettian marble and Pentelic marble, emplo) ed ju t as in the toa of

\ttalos. ~\t the ends of the building e,t rior ,tain\'a) s led to the upper storer, fig. 662. The ea tern stairway \\'ent all the \\'a) up to the Peripatos road, ,0 that the people in the upper ections of the Theatre of Dionysos could reach the upper store, of the staa, while the lower part of the theatre communicat d with the colonnade of the lo\\'er tore) \ ia the western parados of the theatre. For its entire length the stoa faced on a great open quare, a kind of t rrace, 32 m. \dde, bounded on the; south by a retaining wall preserved for a considerable stretch. \\'hen the Odeion of HerodLs \tricu, wa. built, the stoa was joined up to the Odeion and direct communication between the 1\\'0 buildings was obtained b) means of thc staircase in the eastern aisle of the Odeion, fig. 500. The toa of .G..umenes continu d in u,e unol thc middle of the 3rd centun after Christ ",h n it wa de tro,'ed , , and the tones were uscd as building material for the construction of the Valerian \,'all (p. 161). Many of the Doric column drums of this staa ha\ e becn Cound built into thal wall to the south of the \cropoli. at a eli tance of 400 m. from the stoa, where thc\ ma, still be secn toda, in the lot at no. 30 \'c'ikou t. \ yen little of the , architectural material has becn found in the neighbourhood of the stoa; some P 'rg.lmcne capit,lls haye suryiv d and one is e\'Cn intact, fig. 664.

S1l)\ wnll Dl,'I.'l; ROl1\IS: South Sto'l 1 ,IS Ihe e,ca\alors call it, lies on the south side ofth.e Agora between til. Fnn '.lkrl)ullos ,1t1d th' coni 'Ctlll.tl sit~, of Ihe Theseion, fig, 29. It was excavated by the Americans in 1952 ll)~. :111 I ,I suppl 'mentan l',-ca\ iltioll in 1966 1967 made it possil Ie to recover the original plan of the building. S )11th Stl .1 11 W.1S built diagonally across the site of South Stoa I with its Roor level 2.53 m. lower than th:lt l)! th ' old 'r huilding, part of which is thus completely obliterated. The remains of South Stoa I are preser\" i tl1 the south \\'her' it is clear of South LOa II. S011th .'to,l I is dated to thc last quarter of the 5th century B.C. and like the other buildings of the south side )1 th' \gor.l it is sit d ,,'ith its back \\'all along an old east-west road, about six metres wide, coming out at the Pcirai' Gat . Th walls stand c\'er)'where on bedrock and are built of large blocks in the lower courses and with sun,dri 'd brick abo\' ,except for the south wall which is entirely of poros blocks because it was also the retaining wall for the road in back. Because of the great height of the road level in relation to the stoa it is very likely, as H .\.Thompson has conjectured, that the stoa had a second storey. The architectural members of the stoa were entir 1)' of poros; of these one Doric column capital belonging to the outer colonnade has been preserved. The doors op ning on to the square rooms, 4.86 m. to the side, are not in the normal position on axis with the rooms, they are ofr centre to the left. Since these rooms are just like the mens' dining-rooms with seven dining-couches in private houses, in regard both to the positioning of the doors and to the dimensions of the rooms, we may conjecture that the stoa rooms 'were designed for dining-couches and that they served as diningrooms and places of relaxation for the crowds of citizens who spent their whole day in the Agora. Just as in the case of the three official mess-halls, the Prytaneion (p. 1), the Thesmotheteion (p. 2), and the Tholos (p. 553) which played such an important part in the political life of the city, this stoa must have been a civic building containing one hundred and five dining-couches, fig. 673, installed by the state as a public service to the Atheruan citizen. The dining-rooms seem also to have been called "the tables" (trapezai) and it is probable that the ancient authors are referring to these tables when they speak of Athenians chatting with tho e whom they found at "the tables" in the .'\gora and ha,-ing discussions there, just as they u ed to do in the mens' dining-rooms in houses.

In the course of time the building underwent many repairs and alterations and was put to other uses such as offices or headquarters for various branches of the go,-ernment. The most important alteration ,,'as the construction of a staircase in the lobby of room 'VIII as a means of communication with the road in back and with the second store\'. ,

Th th atr' I \lilt hI LI kourgo, had .1 pnn10lnenr stage (fII), ;1 hea\ y rectangular foundation prob~bly SUppOrting a sron' f.l).ld '. Th hrst l.lrge regular stage extending the whole width of the orche tra 'was bUilt around the nd of th 4th c nmn H.C. (1\ ) .111:1 there ,~'cre considerable alterations during the Ilellenistic period (\'). In '6 H.C. ll)[h the th .!tre ,Ind the stage were heayil)' damaged during ulla's inyasion; a few years latc:r thc~ \\- r' r p.lir' I. prol ah1l 1 I that same king.\riobarzanes who rook care of the rebuilding of the Odelon of P'ri 1 'S which had b 'en dlstroyed at the same tIme (p. 38~). _\ro\ln 1 th' middle of the 1st Clnrun' after Christ an entirel" new tage (\'1) 'was built; the imcribed epistyle from th c'mral mrance (I. G. IF 3182), dated to 61 62 A.D., tells us that the stage \\'as dedicared to Dion)' os and th Emp ror .:\ero. It has not ,'et been ascertained \\,hether the stage ,\'as raised on a high podium ar thi time, as \\'a - cu. tomary in the Roman period, or if it was on the le\'e! of the orche tra. In any e\'ent, in rhe reign of Hadrian or, more likely, of Antoninus Pius in the middle of the 2nd century after Christ there was apparenrl~ a high podium in front of the stage; it possibly' had kneeling Silens in relief, later re-used in the bema of
, ,

PhaidrQs . -\s early' a the 1st cemun' after Christ, the floor of the orchestra had probably been payed "'ith marble. The gutter around the orchestra must also haye been coyered with marble slabs. The low thin marble parapet separating the orchestra from the theatre scats was, in our opinion, set up much later in the time of Phaidros. A pa sage in a speech of the orator Dio Chrysostomus is responsible for the pre\'ailing opinion that the orchestra was u ed as an arena and the parapet set up to protect the spectators from injury. Dio Chry'sostomus (XXXI, 121) harshly criticized the Athenians for holding bloody' spectacles in the Theatre of Dionysos. The thearre, ho\\'e\'er, could only ha\-e been used occasionally for such purposes, because the Panathenaic stadium \.yas much better suired for gladiatorial contests and wild beast fights (p. 498). The history' of rhe theatre as a theatre stops ,,'ith the Herulian inyasion in 267 .-\. D. The alterations carried our by rhe archon Phaidros (VII) about a hundred and fifty years later appear to ha,-e had another purpose..-\t rhar rime rhe fa<;:ade of rhe bema \\'as rebuilt and reliefs deri\-ing from a building of the Hadrianic period were set in it. The lirtle stair\l'ay \I'as built, \"ith the in cription of Phaidros (I. G. 112 5021) on the topmost block..-\ small building, possibly a stoa, \.vas built on the bema in front of the old tage. The remains of this building are the foundation \\'alls marked X'P and TYon E.Ziller's plan. Since the large epistyle blocks \\'irh rhe .:\ero inscriprion were built into them, they must be much later than the other walls of the stage building. The bema is usually thought to be the proscenium, but the bema built by Phaidros eyidently had an emir 11 differem function. From classical times on, mainly in the Roman period, the theatre was used for th meetings of the Assembly of the People. Consequentl~- it is likely' that Phaidros renoYated the bema \\-ith this in mind and th,us his bema \.yas intended specifically for the orators of the Assembly. The whole area of the stage and orchestra seems to have been separated from the rest of the theatre at the time \I'hen the bema and rhe little stairway were built. Entrance to the theatre was controlled by doors in the parodoi and the marble pamp t \\'as built around the orchestra. The marble parapet, in any case, must be contemporary \\'ith the bema because the same mortar was used in both. As Christianity came to prevail in Athens, a basilica with one nave was built in the eastern parodos of the theatre at around the end of the 5th century after Christ and the orchestra was used as the basilica courtyard (aithriol/). as appears from the fact that the phlale (VIII) was built into the orche tra floor. The heptagon incised on th' floor and one column base is all that remains of the phiale (a kind of fountain). The ancient gutter aroun 1 th' orchestra was converted into a reservoir for water. A wall, preserved on the outside of the parap't, W.IS built to close off the courtyard, and the sculptures of the bema were concealed under a thick lay r of plast 'r. In Byzantine times the whole thing was destroyed and around the middle of the 11 th century the Rizokastru wall (IX) crossed over the ruins of the bema and the walls of the parodos. .

The large diameter of the building necessitated the usc of ulterior columns to support the roof timb 'rs; the arrangement of the i paras columns is unique. The Tholos under~ent mall\ destru lions and repairs during its long history. Far!) on, around the end of the 5th centun B. ., the roof was de,tro\ cd; direct" after\\ ards, or at t he beginning of the 4th century B.C. ar the late t, the walls were built up ancw and a new roof put on. Prohably at this time a string course of Hymettos marble, 0.11 m. h1gh and 0.72 m. wide, was placed betwlen the course of sun-dried brick. uf\'iving fragm nlof this marble string course prescrve traces of attachment for window, and it is highl} probable that rhere were at least two windows, one on either side of the door. This arrangement recalls the Pinakorheke in the Prop)lala; perhaps in hath case. the \"indows hale something to do with the function of the building. In Augu.tan times, the entrance ~'as embellished with a propy!on and the original floor of hard-pack d cla) was covered with a mosaic floor of small ~ hite marble chips. Tnthe j fadrianic period the Tholo was more ext nsivcly remodelled, tg. 697; the interior columns were remo\Cd and th floor paved "ilh slabs of Pent lic and Il)'mellian marble. The removal of the columns certain!} must have creat d problems in rooling rh building, especially since the constru tion of a dome must in all probabillt\ be ruled out. Destroyed by the Jlerulians in 267 A.D., the Tholos ~as rebuilt from the foundations in rhe 4th century aft I' Christ. At that time the wall was reinforced by an e\.terior ~idJ, 0.70 m. thick, of ston 's and mortar. In respect to the function of the Tbolos, both the inrormatlon from our ancient sources and the finds from the excavations show that it was one of the most important buildlJlgs 01 the \gora. The chairmen of th Council, the PIJ'/afielS, dined at public expense in the 'fholos and on the north side of Ihe ,[holos there was rhroughout the centuries a Iiltle annex which ,erved as a kitehl n communi atinlY ~ It h the Tholos h\ means of.l ,mall nrrancc , " at the north. The water suppl~, indispensable lor Ihe nceds of Ih dIning room in the Tholos, was provided in rhe beginning by w II. and later by a cistern S} stem. The official weight, .md mea,urcs, mal1\ of whieh han been found tn the excavations, welc kept in the Tholos, fig. 701. In addition to these, it s(cms that \ acinus standard models were set IIp in front of the Tholos, ncar the CI\ 1C OfflCes, a nurhlc tile modd, gil ing th srandard dimen ions for terra olla roof tiles, has been found in the excavations, flp. 702 70.3. According to the ancient authors, the pry/fillets not onlv dined in the Tholos, lhl also Ill.Hie sacrih C' nel libations there. The cult associations of the Tholos arc sub,tantlaled b\ Iht sil\('r st.ltUtltcs which Pau,ani mentions as being in the '1'holos; probahly tht:re was also an altar ill the middl'.

is b,

G.\\ cit 'r (1958) who identified and collected the scattered architectural members

and reo\' r d the ori"inl11 ~chel11e of the monument, fig. 705. In 3_0319 H.C. Thra;dlos built the monument (1. C. 112 3056) high on the south slope of the Acropolis at the geat artificial scarp, the kala/Ollie as the Athenians called the rock [ace which had been evened out vertically during , the construction of the Theatre of Dionysos by Lykourgos (H ypereides and Philochoros in Pollux IV, 123; Harpokration, y.QrQTO,lIlj). The fa<;ade of the monument screened the mouth of a cave which had appeared when the cliff \\"as cut back to form the kalaloJlJe and it was placed on the uppermost rows of the theatre seats about 30 metres above the level of the orchestra. Various choregic monuments were placed in other cavities of the k.ala/oll/e, and to the west of the ka/a/ollle the foundations of a monument about 10 X 8 metres have been preserved. This was apparently an important monument and in a way it was the counterpart to the Thrasyllos monument, since the two are equidistant from the axis of the theatre. There are also many beddings in the rock for tripod bases and there are two other important choregic monuments which are still standing: columns with triangular capitals to support tripods. This part of the Acropolis slope high above the Theatre of Dion)'sos was obviously a choice site for choregic monuments, visible from afar and at the same time accessible from the Peripatos which crossed through the Theatre of Dionysos at a slightly lower level. The original appearance of the Thrasyllos monument, as recovered by G.\Velter, differs from the form of the monument seen and dra,,'n by Stuart and Revett, figs. 707-708. As a result of studying the cutting and other traces on the floor of the ca,'e and the newly-found architectural members, \'(felter concluded that there had been doors \\'ith jambs of Hymettian marble between the piers of the fa<;ade. Inside he found evidence for the back wall of a small chamber, 6.20 X 1. 70 m. and 6 m. high. In describing the cave, Pausanias (I, 21, 3) notes the tripod which stood on top and inside he saw a work of art representing Apollo and Artemis slaying the children of i\iobe. In such a small chamber there hardly would have been room for sculpture and, as \\ryelter righth' surmised, the composition must have been a painting 'I."hich with its many figures would ha,'e taken up the whole back wall. Fifty years later in 271/270 B.Q. Thrasykles, the son of Thrasyllos, placed the tripods 'l.duch he had won himself on either side of his father's tripod. Tlus information comes from two inscribed bases (1. C. IF 30 3) d'ra,,-n by tuart and Revett while they were still in place. The statue of Dion)'sos ,,'hich appears in the tuart and Revett drawing and probably two other statues placed on cornices on top of the inscribed bases of Thras\'kle. ae: apparently much later additions, set up when the theatre was repaired by Phaidros circa 400 A.D. WIth the coming of Christianity the cave was converted to a chapel dedicated to the Panaghia Spilaiotissa. It is ltkely that the wall between the piers with the tiny entrance was built at that time.

TRIPODS, STREET OF

TREET OF THE TRIPODS: Of all the choregic monuments once standing along the Street of the Tripod~, only the monument of Lvsikrates has sun'ived almost complete (p. 348). 1\xcavations cond ucted around the Lyslkrates monument in 1921 by .\. Philad lpheus and G. \'\'clter and a lillie to the south in 1955 by 1. Miliadis revealed the anci nt road, six metres wide, at a depth of three metres, and the foundations of seven bases on the west side of the road. 1. J\liliadis excavated at the corner of Vyronos and EpimenidoLl Streets where a new house was about to b put up; the bases he found have been left in place in the basement of the house, just as in the case of anoth r choregic monument base found in 1874, at the corner of present-day Tripodon St. and Thespidos , St. , north of the monument of Lysikrates. . Th se finds not only pro\'e that there had been a road here, they also fix the line of the street for a distance of 110 m., fig. 710. All the bases found so far are sited on the west side of the street, where the ground level rises sharply. On the other side of the street, to the east, there seem to have been houses, but it is not impossible that monuments or other types of buildings lined the east side of the street. For example, on a lot on Vyronos St., foundations of large conglomerate blocks were found overlying the remains of 5th century B.C. houses. In antiquity, the Street of the Tripods was called the "Tripods" as Pausanias notes (I, 20, 1); it began at the Prytaneion, i.e. at the Panathenaic \\'ay near the Eleusinion, ran 800 metres around the foot of the Acropolis and ended at the propylon of the shrine of Dionysos Eleuthereus, near the theatre and the Odeion of Perikles (Andocides, De M)'Steriis I, 38). The Street of the Tripods, as the exca\'ations have shown, was a very ancient thoroughfare connecting the t"-'o shrines of Dionysos: the shrine of Dionysos Lenaios where dramatic contests had earlier been celebrated and the shrine of Dionysos Eleuthereus where the contests were celebrated from the 5th century B.C. ol1'l.\'ards in the theatre erected for the purpose. Judging on the basis of information given by scholiasts and lexicographers, I assume that the hrine of Dionysos Lenaios \Vas in the Agora Square. Consequently, it is no accident that the choregoi set up the tripods which they had won in the contests along the length of the street connecting the two old shrines ofDionysos. It is a striking fact that long after it became customary to set the tripods up in the region of the theatre they continued to be set up in the Agora, probably along the Panathenaic \\'ay, apparently continuing the older tradition, figs. 711 and 713. From the 5th century B. C. onwards it was the custom to set up tripods on the Street of the Tripods. The e bronze tripods, often gilded, were placed on separate bases or on small temple-like buildino-s. 1\1am' of the chore. b . gIC monuments were decorated with wall paintings and sculpture and the treet of the Tripods was the .-\thenians' favourite promenade.

,hrine is mentioned neither by the ancient authors nor by the lexicographers. It bream hnO\ln in 1803 from in eribed plaques found in Lord Aberdeen's excavations near the bema of the Pm x. Right in front of th niches hewn in the searp he found twelve votive reliefs inscribed with the name of the god: L us I h psistos or simply II) psis lOS (1. G. 112 4798-4807). Tho>e t\\'ch c relief ar now in the Briti. h luseum; four similar ones, now in the Berlin ~luseum (1, G. II! 4 4 10) were found built into the \I'all of a house north of the Acropolis; other fragments came to light in th ar a of the Pn) x during the excavations of K. Pittakis in 1852 and of E. Curtius in 1862. During the large-scale e,cantions of the Pnyx conducted by B, A. Thompson in 1931, the plaque 1. C. II! 47 3 \I'as found; fil'e more turned up later on (Hesperia 5, 1936, pp. 154-156). The inscribed votive plaque found in 1931 in the Roman Agora (I, C. 112 4784) and five more found in the Agora Excavations (Agora I 3551, r94, 4294, 5960, 6606) all doubtless came from the same shrine. llrichs, \\'eIcker and Curtius originally maintained that the entire region of the Pnyx was sacred to Zeus B) psistos, But after the assembly-place on the Pnyx became known it was thought that the shrine had been establi hed there in Roman times when the site had 10 t its political significance, :-\everthele s, the cult of Zeus H) psistos is evidently much older, and before the final remodelling of the Pnyx in the third period, 330-326 B.C., the shrine had been established on the site. During the second period of the Pnyx, the shrine \vas on the same site but more isolated and at a greater distance from the bema, fig, 595, Ir was an open-air or roofed cella hewn out of the rock. orne of it urvived when the artificial scarp was created, for the scarp follo\n the line of the south wall of the cella, figs, 714-715. Thus the floor of the older shrine, its step and a considerable number of the niches abo\-e floor level have been preserved. The niches below the floor lel-el of the older shrine and certainly orne of those above floor level belong to the later phase of the shrine in the third period of the Pnyx. The big rectangulat niche in which the cult statue of the god was placed probably dates from the Roman period, as do all the votive reliefs which have been discol'ered on the spot,

Th total length of this road \\'as 700 metre~ and the altar \\ .I~ situated on th a~tern ~ide at the half-wa) point. The original \\ idth of the road could not be determin d but it appear~ to ha\~e b en OHr five metres. B sid the precinct \l'all of the altar, b 101\ the road, a large drainage canal was foul1d. \X'ere the canal to be prolonged south\\-ard in a straight line, it would lead into the ~riclallo~ ri\'cr anc! in 1966 the continuation of th canal \l'a found ncar the Eridanos on a property at no. 8 J\1iaouli 51. The northern route of the r ad ha~ not been preciseh determined; most probabl) it branched ott not far from the altar, one branch leading to the ",\charnian Gate (\'1) al1d the other !lading to Gare VII, tig. 219. Conglomerate foundations found ast of the altai arc aligned \\ ith thc ~lc()nd branch of the road. These foundations , apparently belong to an important building sitld on the ste p" rising rock. Oth r foundations, found in 1910 on a propert) at the intersection of L\ ripidou and Pra"Jlelous ts., applar to be .ited along th sam road. Ph. \'ersaki thought that these foundatIOns belong d to the tcmple of Hero, latro (Hero Ph.~ siclan), basing his conjecture on the inscriptions (I. G. 112 839, 840) found 220 m. ~outh of the foundation, ill 1874. Th finding place of these in cription, ho\\"e\ er, is kno\\n; they were found nur the int rs ction of \Tis~i~ and \'orea t., that is to say ncar the building di~co\'ered in 1937 \\'hich Jl \\ ould 1 e natural to identify with th . hrine of the Heros Ia tros.

~UPPLEMENT

While this book has been in the press every effort has been made, right up 10 the last moment, to include in the: bibliograph) all swdie published during that Lime which rclate to subjects covered in the Dictionary. Addition and r visions in the tell.t and plans to conform to these new studies as well as any discussion ofthe ideas put forward in them 'wa , however, not only difficult but tcchnically impossible. Neverthelc s, it has seemed advisable to indud something here by way of supplement about the excavations that continuc to bc made in various parts of th cin', espccialJ) thc great cxcavations of the Agora, and the important archaeological discoveries that have emerged, at least such of them as contribute to the identification of the monuments and to a better understanding of the topography of the ancient city.

(p. 1): In April 1970 the American chool of Classical Studies began large scale excavations to uncover the buildings of the north side of thc Agora. The new program envisages the expropriation of large areas north of the line of the Athens-Piraeus electric railway. This year's excavations, however, were confined to a narrow strip between the railway and Adrianou t., about 200 m. long and with a maximum width of 17 m .

SUPPLEMENT

[n th west rn part of thc CXGlvat d arca and at a dcpth of 5.50 m. bclow the surface of Adrianou St. part of the Panathenaic \'\"a\' was uncovered, and likcwise part of the north-south street which passes in front of the buildings on the west sid' 'of th ' .\gam. In thc triangu lar area formcd by these two streets the foundations of a large ci rcular structur 1 Ill. in diamct'r wcrc discovcrcd, part of which had been found in 1891 in the railway trench, fig. 5, no. _2. I formerly id 'ntified this circular structure as the Leokorion (Travlos, lfo}.eo()o/u,,-1'l, p, 41), but its date in th fifth C'ntury aft r Christ, as shown by the recent excavations, does not suit this idea. The Leokorion, however, mu t also have b en somcwhcre here ncar the Altar of the Twelve Gods and it is not impossible that it may have b' 'n d 'stroycd by the circular structure. The most important discovery in this area, however, was the uncovering north of and close beside the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios of a small stoa of the middle of the sixth century B. C. which has been identified with the Basileios toa, long sought in this region, fig. 722, F. In the eastern sector it was found that over the ruins of an unknown bui Iding of the fifth century B. C. there had been built in the first century after Christ a stoa, fig. 722, I, whose dimensions have not yet been determined. This stoa and the great Hadrianic building,], which is thought to have been a basilica marked the line of the buildings on the north side of the Agora in Roman times. The stoa discovered earlier in front of the north end of the Stoa of Attalos and called the I ortheast Stoa (p. 6) probably served as the facade of the basilica towards the Agora square. Finally, as regards the other two early stoas, the Stoa of the Herms, G, and the Poikile Stoa noted for its paintings, H, which are to be sought on the north side of the Agora, their position is now limited to the area between the two early roads one of which led to the Eriai Gate and the other to the Acharnian Gate, fig. 722. A detailed report of the excavations and discoveries will be published shortly by T. Leslie Shear, ] L, the director of the excavations, in Hesperia 40, 1971.

SHRI:"E OF ApOLLO PYTHIOS (p. 100): In 1968 the Third Archaeological District of Athens excavated in a lot on Iosiph ton Rogon St. the continuation of the Hellenistic structure whose northeast corner had been discovered the previous year (p.l00, G). The newly uncovered section of this structure, like the previous section, had built into it cylindrical bases for tripods of choregic monuments, seven in number, of which five had inscriptions dating around the middle of the fourth century B. C. (0. Alexandri, Lleh. 24, 1969, XQov. p. 50, and S. Koumanoudis, XOQ1rIL%ai i:!;LYQacpai GaQY1l}.iw", LJeh. 25, 1970, pp. 143-149). Gnl:"ASIDl OF PTOLEMY A)lD THESEION (p. 233): Further study of the buildings in the southern part of the _\gora, fig. 303, in connection with the surviving testimony of ancient authors has shown that it is not possible to maintain the hypothesis that the Gymnasium of Ptolemy and the Theseion were located here. H. A. Thompson, who ha been especially interested in this matter, now returns to his old view identifying the archaic square p ribolos, fig. 722, K, as the Heliaia while the other buildings, he believes, served the needs of other la\vcourts (H .\. Thompson,LJei:r 16, 1960, Xcov. pp.17-19 and Agora Guide, pp. 206-208). The general study of the Agora by H. A. Thompson and R. E. Wycherley, to be published soon, will give us the final conclusions on the identification of the buildings in the southern area, but we may perhaps e\'en now s ek a more suitable location for the Theseion. The sanctuary of Theseus, as Plutarch tells us (Tbeseus 36), was in the middle of the city, a point, that is, which may be located a short distance south of the Roman Agora, fig. 722, . This spot agrees better with the few but very instructive references in ancient authors that have been preserved. It was ncar the Thesmothet ion with which it had close relations (Aischines Ill, l3; Aristotle,. J/b. Pol. 62,1), that is to sa)', in the area of the Old 1\gora (Travlos, f10}.fO()(J/u><1'l, pp. 29,90). In this same area were also the shrine of glauros, Q, the ,\nakeian, P, and the Prytaneion, 0, all of which Pausanias mentions immediatel)( after his description of the Theseion (I, 18, 13). Furthermore, this location of the 'l'heseion puts it at a logical distancc frOI11 the Prop),laia of the .\cropolis and makes more reasonable the trick which Peisistratos played on the Athenians in order to disarm them, a ston' told by Aristotle (Alh. Pol. 15, 4). '

SUPPLEMENT

and among them will have been the i\lakra Stoa of the fifth century B. C. which we know to have been in the . Kerameikos (I. G. 112 968, line (4); it is also said to be ncar Kolonos Agoraios (Scholiast to Aristophanes, Bmls

997). Regarding the width of the Panathenaic \\'a)', D. Ohly reckoned that in the early fourth century B. C. it was as much as 40 m. (Irk 17, 1961/62, -"UOl'. 1'.17). This width, however, which may have been still greater, refers to the s ction before the gates and the Pompeion, A, where the road probably formed a sort of open square. In any cas the width of the road from the gates to the Basileios Stoa, a distance of 360 m., was not the same at all p riods of antiquity. This is clearly shown by the excavations in the lot on Adrianou and Theseiou Streets where in th sixth century B. C. the road did not exceed 10 m. in width while in classical times it reached 16 m. The o-reatest width of 29 m. was reached in the fourth century B. C. but only 24 m. of this was actually roadway. From b th time of toas D and E in the first century after Christ, the width of the road was 20 m.
TOA OF ZEUS ELEUTHERIOS AND BASILEIOS STOA (p. 527): The most important result of the 1970 excavations in the Athenian Agora was the discovery in the free space between the Stoa of Zeus and the Panathenaic \\fay of a Doric stoa 17.72 m. long and 7.18 m. wide, fig. 722, F (T.L. Shear, Jr., The toa Basileios in the Athenian Agora, 'Avd}.e=a 3, 1970, pp. 297-300). The new stoa was recognized as that mentioned by Pausanias (1,3, 1) as being first on the right as one entered the Agora, namely the Basileios Stoa, an identification which was confirmed by a goodly number of inscriptions relating to the Archon Basileus found in front of it. It is constructed entirely of poros stone except for its back wall which, at least in its foundations, is built of Acropolis limestone laid in polygonal style. The main eastern facade of the stoa opened on the Agora and had eight Doric columns between antae while on the interior there were four similar columns. The roof of the building had a double slope and apparently ended at each of the short sides in a gable on top of which must have stood the terracotta statue groups described by Pausanias. The construction of the stoa may be dated in the middle of the sixth century B. C. and in the course of its long life, until its destruction by the Herulians in 267 A. D., it experienced many changes and additions, the first of which may be dated immediately after the Persian Wars. In 430 B. C. there was built just south of it and at a distance of less than two meters another stoa, the Stoa of Zeus whose stylobate was three meters higher than that of the Basileios Stoa. In the fourth century B. C. at each end 'of the principal facade there was added a small projecting annex, similar to the projecting wings of the Stoa of Zeus. These annexes were designed for placing in cribed stelai of marble as can be seen from the rectangular cuttings for their support. Various public documents were inscribed on these stelai (Aelian, Varia Historia, VI, 1 and I. C. 12 115, lines 4-8). The fact that this stoa is preserved in much better condition than other Ao-ora buildino-s has not onl\' permitted b b us to recover its architectural form almost completely but also to illustrate many of the functions \yhich it served. It was the seat of theArchonBasileus, but it served on occasion to house the Council of the Areopagus (Demosthenes XXV, 23), as a dining hall (Aristophanes, Ekklesiazotlsai 684-686) and as a lawcourt (Plato, Theaitetos 210 d, and Eutlryphron 2a). Finally, in front of the stoa was the stone on which the archons took their oath when they assumed office (Aristotle, Ath. Pol. 7, 1; Pollux VIII, 86. See also A. Keramopoullos, .Je},T. 12, 1929, pp.92-9' ).
