The Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios was a two-aisled stoa situated in the northwest corner of the Ancient Agora of Athens. Built c. 425–410 BC, it was dedicated to Zeus under his epithet Eleutherios, honoring the god of freedom after the Persian War. Unlike typical stoas used for promenades and meetings, this structure served religious purposes, making it unusual in Athenian architecture [1].
