Dagens kirke, lidt forfald og en udsigt (fra Πνύξ).
"The Pnyx (Ancient Greek: Πνύξ, pronounced [pnyks]; Modern Greek: Πνύκα, pronounced [pnika]) is a hill in central Athens, the capital of Greece. Beginning as early as 507 BC, the ancient Athenians
gathered on the Pnyx to host their popular assemblies, thus making the
hill one of the earliest and most important sites in the creation of democracy."

Λυκαβηττός tur-retur
The hill is a popular tourist destination and can be ascended by the Lycabettus Funicular, a funicular railway which climbs the hill from a lower terminus at Kolonaki (The railway station can be found at Aristippou street). Lycabettus appears in various legends. Popular stories suggest it was once the refuge of wolves, possibly the origin of its name (which means "the one (the hill) that is walked by wolves"). Mythologically, Lycabettus is credited to Athena, who created it when she dropped a mountain she had been carrying from Pallene for the construction of the Acropolis after the box holding Erichthonius was opened."
