	The Ancient City of Athens: The Pnyx
		The size of the auditorium (as it is restored by the excavators) is not that much larger than Pnyx I. Pnyx III: The Pnyx was rebuilt and expanded in the 3rd quarter of the 4th century B.C., probably around 345-335 B.C. A massive, curved, retaining wall was built (or at least begun) on the north.
		It is unknown for how many years Pnyx III was used as the meeting place of the ekklesia, and certainly by the 1st century B.C. the the assembly held their meetings in the Theater of Dionysos on the South Slope of the Acropolis.

	ZNet Commentary
		Pnyx is the name of a low (357 feet high) hill about 450 yards to the west of the Acropolis in Athens.
		The word "Pnyx" means "tightly crowded together." The "crowding" refers to the male citizens (also known and as "demos") of classical Athens, who assembled, in the open, on the northern side of the hill of Pnyx to discuss politics and make political decisions; kind of a contemporary Parliament or Congress.
		The speaker, or orator, was standing at the foot of the slope, where a level area was formed through the construction of a retaining wall, the area back of which was filled with soil.

	The Ecclesia of Athens
		The Pnyx is an open space of ground due west from the Acropolis.
		Vast as is the audience, the acoustic properties of the Pnyx are excellent, and all public officers and orators are trained to harangue multitudes in the open air, so that the thousands get every word of the proposition.
		King Demos may indeed rule a fallible human monarchy, but it is thanks to him, and to his high court held at the Pnyx, that Athens owes at least half of that sharpness of wit and intelligence which is her boast.

		The Pnyx of the third period had exactly the same plan but on a larger scale; the great retaining wall was constructed of large stone blocks quarried from the area, while the new bema was arranged to the south.
		The initiation of the program of the third period is attributed to Lycourgos but the hard years that followed prevented the program from being completed.
		It became known in 1803 by the inscribed plaques found during the excavations conducted by Lord Aberdeen near the bema of the Pnyx.

		In ancient Athens, citizens of the "demes" or tribes gathered every ten days on a hill near the Acropolis called the Pnyx to debate, deliberate and decide the rules and policies that would govern their common lives.
		On the Pnyx was born the culture of civilized talk and the democratic politics of self-government.
		The challenge is to build a "virtual Pnyx" - an on-line forum - to deepen and strengthen communications and interactivity for every arena, from the competitive to the cooperative, from politics to play.

		The Pnyx, crowned by the Athens Observatory, is where Athens's citizen assembly met.
		The Pnyx, as much as any spot in Athens -- which is to say, any place in the world -- is the "birthplace of democracy." Here, for the first time in history, every citizen could vote on every matter of common importance.
		True, citizens did not include women, and there were far more slaves than citizens in Athens -- but that was the case in most of the world for a very long time after democracy was born in Athens.
