GreeceThe Sanctuary of Zeus Polieus was a walled open-air sanctuary dedicated to Zeus Polieus around 500 BC on the Acropolis of Athens, sited to the Erechtheion's east [1]. Although no foundations have been uncovered, its trapezoidal layout and numerous entrances are inferred from rock-cuttings on the Acropolis [1]. The sanctuary's eastern section is believed to have accommodated the oxen used in the annual Bouphonia ceremony [1].
