The “Agora” or “meeting place” first found in the works of Homer, is an open space which served as the meeting place where citizens could meet and exchange goods, services and knowledge. It is the place where Socrates, Aristocles son of Ariston (Plato), Aristotle, and Alexander the Great learned, earned and returned.
It was a place that encouraged discussion, discord, debate, and agreement. It was a place where dreams and ideas were developed, tempered, and delivered.
