Monument of the Eponymous Heroes

The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes was a monument in the Agora of Athens, Greece, depicting the ten heroes representing the tribes of Athens cast in bronze.

One of these eponymous heroes was Pandion, who also had a sanctuary dedicated to him in the Akropolis Sanctuary.^[1] The other heroes were Erechtheus, Aegeus, Leos, Acamas, Oeneus, Cecrops II, Hippothoon, Ajax, and Antiochus.^[2]

In classical antiquity, it was used as a podium where official documents, including the list of military contingents, were posted. During the Peloponnesian War, the monument was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.^[3]
