The agora ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|æ|g|ə|r|ə}}; {{lang-grc|ἀγορά}} agorá) was a central public space in ancient Greek city-states. The literal meaning of the word is "gathering place" or "assembly". The agora was the center of the athletic, artistic, spiritual and political life of the city.[1] The Ancient Agora of Athens is the best-known example. OriginsEarly in Greek history (10th–8th centuries BC), free-born citizens would gather in the agora for military duty or to hear statements of the ruling king or council. Later, the agora also served as a marketplace, where merchants kept stalls or shops to sell their goods amid colonnades. This attracted artisans who built workshops nearby.[2] From these twin functions of the agora as a political and a commercial space came the two Greek verbs {{lang|grc|ἀγοράζω}}, agorázō, "I shop", and {{lang|grc|ἀγορεύω}}, agoreúō, "I speak in public". The term agoraphobia denotes a phobic condition in which the sufferer becomes anxious in environments that are unfamiliar–for instance, places where he or she perceives that they have little control. Such anxiety may be triggered by wide-open spaces, by crowds, or by some public situations, and the psychological term derives from the agora as a large and open gathering place. See also
