The skull of the Horites, described in the Archaeology of the Bible, Barton, , would appear to be identical to those in California.

The rooms grouped around the tumulus, one of them a dining room with a floor mosaic, date to the late 2 nd or early 1 st century BC: They could have been part of a re-arrangement of the older burial place in the time of Dokimos or his father Antiphon. But graves often have altars, too, where heroic honours could be payed to the deceased, besides the regular libations into the ground choai. They included dining at the grave: Burkert a, f.
For that one only has to think of the countless round altars and trapezai in the Hellenistic necropoleis of Kos, Rhodes, the Rhodian peraia and the Knidia, sometimes combined with exedrai with benches for seating: Berges and ; for Miletos see for example the round altar and exedra in the necropolis south of the Sacred Gate: Forbeck , figs. It is mentioned in the honorary decree for the Milesian citizen Eirenias of c.
Additionally, its architectural details, especially the Doric columns which are facetted in their lower part were already recognized as being close to Pergamenian architecture; Gerkan , fig. At least in the 1 st century BC, Miletos had three Gymnasia, one for the paides, one for the epheboi and the neoi , and one for the citizens: Herrmann , ; Herda a, 92 f. Herda a, and , 63 n.

But the original altar of the bouleuterion , the Hestia Boulaia, is to be expected within the assembly hall, see already Tuchelt , with n. The altar in the courtyard of the peristyle is therefore a secondary altar. The inscription was first published in BCH 1, , f. Wiegand may have referred to it in the preliminary report, though he gave no citation. The lower part of a clothed female statue, found in the assembly hall by the excavators, was interpreted as cult statue of Hestia: Kleiner , 79; Nawotka , Unfortunately, the torso is not preserved, at least is it not mentioned in Bol Cult statues of Hestia are rather rare.

It would have been abandoned only when the cult had been of no interest any more or had fallen victim to Christianity.
A hint at the point in time of abandonment will give the disturbed filling of the structure, whose finds and dating is not published so far. There, a mnema and an altar were erected in the agora where he received a hero cult with games: Wiegand , , The whole matter deserves further investigation. Herrmann , figs.

When we at least accept the reliability of Aelian, we have to assume in the 2 nd century AD a grave precinct, enclosed within a wall, perhaps including also a cenotaph, while the ashes of Solon stay in Salamis.

I hold the southern hall of the Delphinion for the Molpon-prytaneion. The connection between the tumulus grave and the adjacent sanctuary to the south so e. First of all, the sanctuary has a different orientation at least from the second half of the 5 th century BC toward the South. Stucchi , thinks of a heroon for the daimon Ephialtes Opheles because of a graffito: Stucchi , , pl.

Death causes ritual impurity, a pollution mysos , miasma , which calls for ritual cleaning. Therefore death-related things are regularly excluded from sanctuaries and the city: Parker , , ; Burkert a, f. See on related funeral laws: Frisone , , , , For graves within the city of Sparta: McCauley , 86 n. The connection of thought becomes almost explicit when the Athenians purify Delos in response to plague.
Lolos , f. The two gods had left Sikyon in mythical times, when it was still an indigenous settlement called Aigialeia: The cult of Apollo as well as the procession seem to be at least of Archaic age. The Aristotelian Corpus mentions an old temple of Apollo, which was in ruins in the time of Pausanias: Burkert , f. This is confirmed by Pausanias who describes the heroon as being placed in front of the house of the tyrant Kleon at the agora: Malkin , f. But there is no hint at an old and a new agora in Sicyon. In BC Demetrios Poliorketes had only relocated the settlement to the acropolis out of security reasons Diodorus This does not imply that he also relocated the old, Archaic agora, where the graves of the heroes Adrastos and Melanippos were located: Malkin , , Plutarch, Aratus 53; see Leschhorn , who attributes the birthday festival to the cult of the founder Aratos, though he thinks that birthday festivals are not typical for a founder cult ibid.
The heroon of Aratos has not been found so far: He is supposed to have joined Pammilos but was, according to Mertens, later on forgotten, his grave was left devastated: Mertens , 80 f. On the Tritopatores as collective ancestors of smaller kinship groups gene, phratries, demes as well as of the whole polis see Clinton ; Iles-Johnston , 51 f. Farnell , ; Schweitzer , 75 f. The Tritopatores are probably depicted in one of the pediments of the so-called Ur-Parthenon on the Akropolis: Schweitzer and others have identified them with the so-called Typhon or Bluebeard, a figure with three upper parts of humans and a snake-like lower part, three times intertwined.
The figures, dated c. Weinreich , 77 f. Another early depiction of the Tritopatores , this time as wind-gods, may be found on a Laconian bowl of the so-called Naukratis Painter c. Studniczka , ; Harrison , fig. However, this identification is questioned by some scholars: Pipili , fig. Aphrodite with Erotes, but in the latter case she cannot explain the different sex of the winged figures! See now also Thomsen , figs. To me, the differing preservation of the two graves seems a matter of later accidental stone extraction. It does not imply that the southern one was devastated earlier.
The southern temenos -wall around the northern grave clearly respects the southern grave. The southern temenos-wall comes closer to the northern grave than to the southern. The first lies remarkably excentrical within the temenos: Mertens , figs. Maybe the southern grave is the one of Pammilos, while the northern one in the temenos is that of Euthydamos. The location was the grave of Myskos, which was probably situated in the Zeus Meilichios sanctuary on the Gaggera Hill outside the city according to Jameson et al.

That the Archaic-Classical Tritopatreion in the Kerameikos necropolis of Athens was a state sanctuary of the Tritopatores of the Athenian people, as supposed by some scholars cf.
They do not specify any group-relation. But what speaks against this assumption is that the sanctuary was destroyed in the later 4 th century BC and never again restored: Stroszeck , 68 f. This rather hints at a Tritopatreion of a smaller kinship group genos or phratry , which got out of function with the termination of this group. Stroszeck now assumes the ending of the state cult of the Tritopatores in the Kerameikos in the course of wider historical changes in Athens under Macedonian rule I thank her very much for discussing these issues with me in Dec Another argument for the latter interpretation is the presence of a large multi-burial tumulus of ca.

To my mind, the state Tritopatreion of democratic Athens should be expected in the new agora, close to the collective sanctuary of the ten Eponymous Heroes and not to far away from the Zeus Meilichios sanctuary.

Mattusch , 76 with fig. Antonaccio , has proposed the so- called triangular sanctuary in the SW-corner of the agora to be a Tritopatreion: Camp , 78 fig. But the preserved boundary marker misses a specification of the cult and the triangular form of the precinct is no forcible argument: Georgoudi , with n. The upper part of the monument is not preserved as it was demolished when it was overbuilt by a stoa in the 1 st century AD. Polignac , n. Remarkable is that the marble slab with the inscription does not fit well to the basis made of mica schist and porous.
The monument in its present state seems to be a re-arrangement. Also, the inscription was not erected by the polis, but by the sons of a certain Brentes: A translocation would lower the date for the erection of the inscription on the agora of Thasos. Its dating is therefore only a terminus post quem. One of these they call the islet of Asterios, and say that Asterios was buried in it, and that Asterios was the son of Anax, and Anax the son of Earth. Now the corpse is not less than ten cubits.

This is not convincing, as in plot for the location see Frederiksen , fig.
Mazerakis Ainian , 8 f. It suggests that Eretria had a fortification wall including the acropolis and the harbour already in the early7 th century BC. The reason may have been that the hero cult had ceased to exist after the conquest by the Persians in BC or only in Herda , 6 f. Herda , 6 with n. Herda , 22 with n. Because of the deviation of the basis from the orthogonal street- insula -grid as well as the closeness to the NW-corner of the Nymphaeum they assume the monument to be older than the Nymphaeum late 1 st century AD. The best indicator for a cult statue is the presence of an altar: Witschel , , esp.
The altar where the Milesians sacrificed to Neileos intra muros may have been a portable one, placed in front of the statue. Otherwise the large foundation in the middle of the square between Nymphaeum , Bouleuterion and Market Gate may have served as altar: One figure on the frieze has been interpreted as depiction of Tyro, the mother of Pylian Neleus, the very forefather of the Neileos and the Neleids: On Tyro see Herda , Herda , 22 f.
