Primitive Athens as described by Thucydides

Note 251 — Chapter III · THE SANCTUARIES THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE CITADEL.

Reading edition

I follow M. Victor Bérard, Origine des cultes Arcadiens, p. 142. Ourania is ‘Queen of Heaven,’ ‎‏מלכת־השׁמים‏‎, as in the Hebrew scriptures, Jerem. vii. 18, xliv. 18-20. Pandemos is ‎‏רבת־הארץ‏‎, lady of the land. I have ventured above, p. 54, to suggest that to the armed Ourania, the Virgo Caelestis, we owe at least some elements in the armed Athena.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
