Well you all Know the AEGEE Agora, but what about the Greek one? - Under the holy rock of the Acropolis, near the Theseion metro station and next to the streets where the Sunday bazaar takes place, is the archaeological site of the ancient Agora. Since Agora means market in Greek, the ancient and the modern use of the place are not far apart. But, in ancient years, the Agora was not only the commercial centre of the city; it was its political, cultural and religious one as well. The administrative buildings and the temples were built in this area where the public services and the courts of law were also based. This was where the Athenians gathered on a daily basis, not only to buy and sell their goods, but also to learn the news, to criticize the government, to exchange views or just gossip, Socrates spent his days in rational debates and western philosophy politics were born in this place. All roads led to the Agora, and it was a lively, crowded place.
