| The Athenian Agora is a city square in Athens covering an area of approximately 40 hectares and located on a gentle slope northwest of the Acropolis. The Greek word agor comes from "to gather, to call." This is consistent with the Agora's designation as the city's main meeting place. In ancient times, the Athenian Agora became the center of secular and social life, civil administration and court, an important place for commerce and business, theatrical stage for Greek drama, a platform for athletic competitions and a favorite place for intellectual debate. |
