Agoraea
"Agoraea" and "Agoraeus" (, ''Agoraia'' and , ''Agoraios'') were epithets given to several divinities of Greek mythology who were considered to be the protectors of the assemblies of the people in the ''agora'' (), particularly in Athens, Sparta, and Thebes. The gods so named were Zeus,〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' iii. 11. § 8, v. 15. § 3〕 Athena,〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' iii. 11. § 8〕 Artemis,〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' v. 15. § 3〕 and Hermes.〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' i. 15. § 1, ii. 9. § 7, ix. 17. § 1〕 As Hermes was the god of commerce, this epithet seems to have reference to the ''agora'' as the marketplace; a bronze statue of Hermes Agoraeus is mentioned as standing near the ''agora'' in Athens by both Aristophanes and Demosthenes.〔Aristophanes, ''Knights''〕
The ''Agoraios Kolonos'', or "Market Hill", was a precinct on the westernmost boundary of the ''agora'' in Athens.
