GreeceThe Sanctuary of Aphrodite Urania was located north-west of the Ancient Agora of Athens and dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite under her epithet Urania [1]. The sanctuary is known from the account of the 2nd century AD travel writer, Pausanias [1]. The remains usually identified with the sanctuary are located at the northwestern corner of the Athenian Agora [1]. An altar was built on the site around 500 BC [1]. A temple was built 2.15 metres north of the altar in the early Roman period [1]. Osanna and Robertson have questioned the identification of these remains with the sanctuary of Aphrodite [1].
