High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Pnyx, in Ancient Greek, , pronounced [pnika], in Modern Greek) is a hill in central Athens, the capital of Greece. It is located less than one kilometre west of the Acropolis and 1.6 km south-west of the centre of modern Athens, Syntagma Square. Compared to the better-known surviving monuments of ancient Athens, such as the Parthenon, the Pnyx is relatively unspectacular. It is a small, rocky hill surrounded by parkland, with a large flat platform of eroded stone set into its side, surrounded by steps carved on its slope. It is nevertheless one of the most significant sites in the city, and indeed in the world. For the Pnyx was the meeting place of the world's first ever democratic legislature, the Athenian ekklesia (assembly), and the flat stone platform is the bema, the "stepping stone" or speakers' platform. As such, the Pnyx is the material embodiment of the principle of is goria (Greek: ), "equal speech", i.e. the equal right of every citizen to debate matters of policy.
