Wycherley, Archaia Agora, Phoenix 20 (1966) 285-93, and The Stones of Athens (Princeton 1978) 65. 5 This is perhaps best typified by Thompson and Wycherley, Agora XIV 19, who came to accept the existence of an early Agora, more or less where Oikonomides suggested: The Agora as a great center of community life developed slowly in the course of the 6th century B.C. Athens presumably had a simple agora before this time, but we know almost nothing about it ... the west of the Acropolis, not far from its entranc<~, would be appropriate for a simple prototype of the Athenian Agora, and the saddle between the Acropolis and the Areopagus, where the ground is comparatively level, is perhaps the most suitable spot.	cache/grbs-2841.pdf	txt/grbs-2841.txt
