	Comune di Agira - Storia: Greci e Romani
		Ercole gratificò Agira della accoglienza ricevuta facendo realizzare grandiose opere, adottando nuovi costumi militari, civili e religiosi, istituendo feste e riti (i giochi Eraclei, le ricorrenze Jolaiane).

		Le anfore e i vasi di Agira venivano esportati in tutto l'impero, come dimostra il ritrovamento di vasi di Agira in Liguria, oltre che in molte aree siciliane.

	Agira nella storia
		Parlando della storia di Agira non si può fare a meno di citare l'agirino più famoso e illustre di tutti i tempi:
		Del resto, anche se l'aspetto esteriore appare oggi tanto spoglio, l'ubertosità e la ricchezza dell'antica Agira permangono in seno alla sua terra, che abbonderebbe ancora di tutto, se fosse coltivata, ed arricchirebbe i suoi abitanti, se disponessero di sbocchi per lo smercio dei loro prodotti.
		Prima di lasciare Agira, ritornai nuovamente nella zona del lago; osservai il terreno con rinnovata attenzione: trovai infatti alcuni avanzi di muri all'altezza delle fondamenta, e queste erano costruite in grandi blocchi.

	Agira
		Con Agira qualcuno ha voluto giocare il gioco del tempo, come solo mano d'uomo sa giocarlo in guerra e libri, il gioco di chi cambia le regole e scrive la storia senza capire che non ci sono regole, che non c'é storia.
		Ad Agira nulla ha senso, o forse tutto ha il senso che vuoi dargli; tranne le case, queste mantengono il senso che credevano di avere una volta, mantengono il senso del loro passato, la traccia di un origine ormai impossibile da datare.
		Sono vecchie e giovani insieme le case di Agira, hanno porte e finestre e altezze diverse, come nel mondo d'aria, ma nulla ti impedisce di varcare la soglia di una finestra, camminare su un tetto spiovente, o scalare una parete d'alabastro con grazia di sirena.
