How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The hill where the citizens of Athens gathered to vote, with the speakers' platform from which Perikles and Kleon address the crowd.
The real place
The Pnyx was the meeting place of the Athenian assembly, the birthplace of democratic debate. The rock-cut speaker's platform, the bema, still survives on the hillside.
Visiting
The Pnyx is free and rarely crowded. It has one of the best views of the Acropolis and is a good place to watch the sunset.
