  • The ancient caves underneath the Obsevatory; to the front, the little church of Agia Marina and further down a fountain (The Gennadius Library - American School of Classical Studies at Athens, from the website of the Aikaterini Laskaridi Foundation).
  • The Odeion of Herodes Atticus amidst a treeless landscape and Loumbardiaris to the far back amidst green; the two main roads join as they do nowadays (The Gennadius Library - American School of Classical Studies at Athens, from the website of the Aikaterini Laskaridi Foundation).
  • The bema of the Pnyx; on the centre right, the Hill of the Nymphs before the construction of the Observatory. To its left, a derelict round construction, possibly a wind mill (The Gennadius Library - American School of Classical Studies at Athens, from the website of the Aikaterini Laskaridi Foundation).
  • A new road towards the monument of Philopappos; visible on the Kaupert map (Dipylon).
  • The slopes of the Pnyx through centuries; to the right, the wind mill before being ruined (The Gennadius Library - American School of Classical Studies at Athens, from the website of the Aikaterini Laskaridi Foundation).
  • To the front, the conical roof of the church of Agia Marina in the aftermath of the War of Independence. Right to its left and through the cleft in the rock, we can see the masonry of the rooftop and the entrance of the church (Universität Heidelberg).
  • To the front, the Areopagus followed by the Archaic shrine of Zeus, along with the little church of Agia Marina and the Observatory to the far back (The Brazilian National Library [BN]).
  • The bema of the Pnyx; here priority is given to the landscape and human intervention plays second fiddle (Université de Strasbourg, Bibliothèque Numérique Patrimoniale).
  • Extensive cuttings on the western slope of the Hills of the Nymphs, before being quarried (Universität Heidelberg).
  • The so-called "Little Pnyx" on the Hill of the Nymphs; the picture is a rare piece of historical evidence, for quarrying altered the relief (Universität Heidelberg).
  • The little steps led to an elevation bearing ancient residential remains (Universität Heidelberg).
  • The so-called "Εptathronon" surrounded by ancient cuttings (Universität Heidelberg).
  • The façade of the so-called "Donta Cave" on the Hill of Koile (Dexameni) (Universität Heidelberg).
  • The interior of the so-called "Donta Cave" on the Hill of Koile (Dexameni) (Universität Heidelberg).
  • According to Herodotos "Kimon was buried outside the city, beyond the so-called ‘road through the hollow’ [the Koile road]" (6.103.3); hence the so-called "tombs of Kimon" (Universität Heidelberg).
  • Agia Marina repaired after the Greek War of Independence (Royal Danish Library - Danish National Art Library).
  • Successive terraces on the slopes of the Hill of the Muses (Philopappos), top left; can be seen on the map by Kleanthis and Schaubert (Université de Strasbourg, Bibliothèque Numérique Patrimoniale).
  • The interior of an underground pear-shaped cistern; not visible today (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • On the foreground, an outdoor Archaic shrine dedicated to Zeus is identified by the rupestral inscription (retrograde): HΟΡΟΣ ΔΙΟΣ (6th c. B.C.) (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • The chasm of the ancient barathron before it was filled up: here it is crowned by the vaulted rooftop of the Observatory; to the left, the neighbourhood of Petralona (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • The word ΔΗΜΟΣΙΟΝ (PUBLIC) was employed to avert the imminent danger of quarrying the "Eptathronon" (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • The Observatory and the cuttings of the Archaic shrine of Zeus, in the middle, along with the newly built structures before 1927, the year the contemporary Agia Marina was erected (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • The so-called "Tombs of Kimon"; whatever was saved from the relentless quarrying (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • The Haseki wall (1778) connects the Castle with the Areiopagos; outside the wall, the Muslim cemetery (The British Museum).
  • Front right, the small caves of the Hill of the Nymphs; photo taken from the Observatory building (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Agora Excavations, AT 220).
  • Most of the area of the Hill of the Muses (Philopappos) is already covered by trees; to the left, behind the houses, a triangular plot that still remains unbuilt (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Archaeological Photographic Collection, AP 0524).
  • A snapshot of the daily life in the area of Asyrmatos (ERT S.A. Archive - Petros Poulidis Collection).
  • The grey limestone lost its eminent presence in the landscape to the planted trees (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Agora Excavations, 2004.01.0400 [HAT 64-169]).
  • Beyond the ancient wheel ruts the gaze falls on the little dwellings of Asyrmatos (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Archaeological Photographic Collection, AP 0553).
  • The Pnyx, a place of inspiration for the ancient and modern times (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Archaeological Photographic Collection, AP 0352).
  • The silent accord of past and present on the steps leading to the Pnyx (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Archaeological Photographic Collection, AP 0306).
  • The telescope of Doridis and the Observatory, perhaps on the same spot where the Athenian astronomer Meton made his observations during the 5th c. B.C. (Ministère de la Culture (France) - Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine - diffusion RMN).
  • The wireless telegraph pole and its high antenna dominate the landscape (Ministère de la Culture (France) - Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine - diffusion RMN).
  • A passing pilgrim at the remote little church of Loumbardiaris (Ministère de la Culture (France) - Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine - diffusion RMN).
  • A tiny oasis: Loumbardiaris surrounded by its few trees (http://www.eulogia.gr/).
  • The acute recess of the precipice in the middle of the ancient barathron is also depicted on the map by Kleanthis and Schaubert (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich Library [ETH Zürich Library]).
  • The Monument of Philoppapos was allegedly built on the same spot where the poet Moussaios was buried (Pausanias 1.25.8) (National Galleries Scotland).
  • The so-called "Tombs of Kimon" and the rock of the Acropolis, and its monuments; Loumbardiaris, plain and unadorned (Royal Danish Library - Danish National Art Library).
  • The face of the scarp accommodating the wall of an ancient house bearing visible holes for the beams of the upper storey; the so-called "Prison of Socrates" (Royal Danish Library - Danish National Art Library).
  • The barathron was an ancient quarry and place of executions; the most remote area of ancient Athens (Nicholson Museum, Professor W.J. Woodhouse Collection).
  • During World War II, the so-called "Prison of Socrates" is further supported by reinforced concrete and becomes a hideout for antiquities (Atlantis - M. Pechlivanidis & CO publications).
  • Αgios Demetrios Loumbardiaris in one of its earliest depictions (Yale Center for British Art).
  • The Athenians, wearing their best of clothes, are scattered around the rocky slope of Agia Marina, possibly in anticipation of the commencement of the Saint's ceremonial celebration day, July 17th (American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Homer A. Thompson Photographic Collection [1271]).
