Agyieus
Apollo Agyieus ((ギリシア語:Ἀγυιεύς, ''Aguīeus'')) was an epithet of the Greek god Apollo describing him as the protector of the streets, public places, and the entrances to homes. As such he was worshiped at Acharnae,〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' i. 31. § 3〕 Mycenae,〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' ii. 19. § 7〕 and at Tegea.〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' viii. 53. § 1〕 The origin of the worship of Apollo Agyieus in the last of these places is related by Pausanias.〔Comp. Horace, ''Carmines'' iv. 6. 28〕〔Macrobius, ''Saturnalia'' i. 9〕
The cult of Apollo Agyieus was aniconic, and this facet of Apollo was worshiped in the form of a pointed column or obelisk, often kept by the front door of a private home,〔Pherecrates, 87〕〔Dieuchidas, 2〕 or in the open country, rather than in a temple. This symbol is similar with a sign like an edged cone found on the gate of a temple in the Hittite city Bojatzkoi. In an inscription is mentioned the name of the god ''Apulunas'' as the protector of the gate. The Greeks named him Agyieus, as the protector God who draws off evil.〔Martin Nilsson."Die Geschichte der Griechische Religion".Verlag C.H.Beck 1955.p.564〕
Some writers have held that the omphalos of the oracle at Delphi was a modified pillar of Agyieus. When standing before a house, the stone objects would be decorated with offerings of ribbon, or wreaths of myrtle or bay.
