Collocata a nord-ovest dell'Acropoli e compresa tra il Kolonos Agoraios e le pendici settentrionali dell'Areopago, l'Agora del Ceramico è uno dei settori meglio conosciuti dell'antica città di Atene (fig. 497). Tale conoscenza si deve alle ricerche condotte sin dal XIX secolo a opera di archeologi greci e tedeschi e all'ininterrotta attività di indagine archeologica avviata dagli americani a partire dal 1931 (F.62) e tuttora in corso. Prima degli scavi effettuati nel XIX secolo dalla Società Greca di Archeologia (1859-1862: scavi Koumanoudis) e, dalla fine dello stesso secolo, dall'Istituto Archeologico Germanico (1896-1897: scavi Dörpfeld) gli unici monumenti fino ad allora noti erano l'Hephaisteion ( § 9.1), comunemente noto come Theseion -nome ancora oggi assegnato all'intero quartiere che si estende immediatamente a ovest dell'edificio -, il cd. Portico dei Giganti poi riconosciuto come Odeion ( § 9.38), e la Stoa di Attalo II ( § 9.56). Se l'Hephaisteion, il tempio greco meglio conservato del mondo antico, era sopravvissuto perché trasformato nella chiesa di San Giorgio sin dalla prima età bizantina, le statue dei Giganti, citate ancora in alcune fonti del XV secolo come Atlanti, ricomparvero tra le rovine delle case distrutte durante la guerra di indipendenza. Sempre visibili, benché in gran parte coperte dalle case e dalle costruzioni successive, erano anche le imponenti strutture murarie sul lato orientale dell'area, correttamente identificate come pertinenti alla Stoa di Attalo II solo dopo il rinvenimento dell'iscrizione avvenuta per opera del Koumanoudis nel 1861.

"When discussing the topography of Athens, one thinks first of all of Judeich (1931) and Travlos (1971), still an inevitable point of departure for any attempt at a synthesis. And such an attempt would still not be possible without recourse to other invaluable texts by Wachsmuth, Milchhöfer, Cavvadias and Kawerau, Dörpfeld, Della Seta, and Graindor, to mention only a few of the protagonists of investigations on ancient Athens, or without the analytical work carried out by the Americans on the Agora, by the Germans on the Kerameikos, and by the Greeks on the Acropolis and in the city – especially during the building of the subway –, or the excellent general overviews by Camp (2001) and Etienne (2004). This study has the ambition of representing the topographical history of Athens without neglecting the contribution of a whole range of disciplines and viewpoints, and without forgetting to take account of written sources, not only per se, but in the light of the variety of interpretations resulting from different approaches - anthropological, political-historical, economic and religious. It is hence not a mere update, but a work that intends to rethink the history of the Athenian urban space employing new approaches and critically verifying all the opinions put forward in earlier studies. The book includes many photographs and images - almost all reworked -, which make it easier to follow the text. In addition to these, in the outer pockets of each volume are detailed area plans and, in the fourth volume, a general archaeological map of the Asty."
