About Hotels in Ancient Agora of Athens!
The Ancient Agora of Athens was the central hub of political and social life in ancient Greece. It was a vast open-air marketplace where merchants, craftsmen and tradespeople of all types conducted commerce and gathered. Political discourse was held here, including debates and tests of skill, as well as religious festivals. The Agora also served as a gathering place for citizens to meet socially, learn from philosophers and orators, conduct physical exercise such as wrestling or archery competitions, hear theatrical performances and spectacles, organize sporting events such as chariot races, vote in democratic elections, pay respects to heroes whose statues adorned the streetscape and much more. The agora was a bustling center of activity that helped define the character of ancient Athenian society—one that combined the political ideals of democracy with strong cultural traditions.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the Ancient Agora has been used since at least the 6th century BC when Solon established his reforms. It is believed that during this period it was mostly used by artisans who would come to sell their wares to Athenians. As time passed its importance grew throughout ancient Greece and it became an integral part of everyday life for citizens living in Athens and its surrounding areas.
During classical times it came to symbolize democracy with Pericles famously saying “we do not say that a man makes a city but rather that the city makes him” when speaking about what he saw at the Agora.
The Ancient Agora was once home to some of antiquity’s most influential figures such as Socrates, Plato, Pericles and Demosthenes who could often be found discussing philosophy or politics in its grounds. Famous monuments such as the Stoa Basileios (Royal Portico), Tholos (Round Building) , Temple of Hephaestus (Theseion) , North Stoa II (South Stoa) are still visible today along with many other smaller structures which help us build up a picture of what life may have been like during antiquity in Athens.
It is an invaluable insight into how people lived; how they worked; how they traded; how they discussed politics; how they worshipped gods; how they exercised their right to democracy – all within one area making up part of this vibrant cityscape.
