Stele discovered at the Aglaureion, now in theAcropolis Museum

TheAglaureion (Greek: Αγλαύρειο), or theSanctuary of Aglauros, was an ancient sanctuary located in theAcropolis inAthens, Greece. It was dedicated toAglauros, a Greek mythological figure who was the daughter ofKing Cecrops and the sister ofErysichthon,Pandrosus, andHerse. The sanctuary was believed to be the site where Aglauros had sacrificed herself to protect the city from invasion.^[1]

Discovery

[edit]

In 1980, during excavations of thePeripatos, archaeologists found on the eastern slope of the Acropolis a honorary stele for Aglauros, dating to the 3rd century BC. It is believed the stele once stood as part of theperibolos of the Aglaureion. The stele is now held by the Acropolis Museum (inventory number Ακρ. 13372).^[1]^[2] The site had been incorrectly ascribed to other sanctuaries by archaeologists before.^[3]
