Metroon
A metroon (, ''Mētrō̂on'' or ''Mētrō̂ion'') was an ancient Greek temple dedicated to a mother goddess. They were often devoted to Cybele, Demeter, or Rhea.

Coordinates:
The Athenian Metroon was located on the west side of the city's Agora, in the Old Bouleuterion which formerly housed the city council. At the end of the 5th century , the New Bouleuterion was built and the council's former home converted into a temple to Cybele. Supposedly, the Athenians had killed one of her wandering priests when he attempted to introduce her cult; the plague which then visited the city was dealt with by honoring her. (The account may, however, have been a later invention, as the earliest source is from the 4th century .)〔Julian. "Hymn to the Mother of the Gods".
