After a general resumé of the historical development of the Agora, the monuments are treated in detail, grouped by their use and purpose. Each monument is discussed in the light of both the literary and the archaeological evidence for its identification and its restoration. In the light of the topographical conclusions the route of Pausanias is traced. A chapter “After the Heruli” follows the fortunes of the area from A.D. 267 till the 19th century; the last century is treated in the detailed report of “The Excavations” up to 1971. This is a definitive survey of the historical and topographical results of 40 years of American excavations.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0044::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0044.jpg::200::257","Publication","Thompson, H.

The author of this booklet shows where and how the major Olympian gods were worshipped, and then turns his attention to lesser known deities, such as Hekate, the triple-bodied goddess of the crossroads. He argues that the cults of heroes, such as Theseus, one of the legendary founders of Athens, were much more popular than the official state religion focused on the Olympian gods.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0022::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0022.jpg::200::311","Publication","Camp, J.","","Gods and Heroes in the Athenian Agora",""
