Last week the Pleiades editorial college published 15 new and 69 updated place resources, reflecting the work of Jeffrey Becker, Tom Elliott, Brady Kiesling, Chris de Lisle, and Gabriel McKee.
A terrain map with orange markers indicating updates and pink circles indicating new place resources. It stretches from the Iberian peninsula in the west, to the Nile delta, northern Mesopotamia, and central Russia in the east.
New Place Resources

Creators: Chris de Lisle
Contributors: Jeffrey Becker -
A sanctuary dedicated to Eurysakes, son of Ajax on the Kolonos Agoraios in Athens, which served as the central sanctuary of the tribe Aiantis. It has not been located archaeologically, but the findspots of related inscriptions suggest it was somewhere southwest of the Hephaisteion.

Omega House is the modern name for a large house on the north slope of the Areopagos hill in Athens. Early traces go back to the 4th century BC, but the surviving structure was built in the 4th and 5th centuries AD. It appears to have been a philosophical school until the 6th century. It was destroyed in the Slavic Sack of 582 AD.
Creators: Chris de Lisle
Contributors: Jeffrey Becker -
A rock-cut cistern on the southeast slope of the Pnyx hill in Athens, built in the late sixth century BC and supplied by the Peisistratid aqueduct. It received a mosaic floor in the second C AD. Dörpfeld identified it with the Enneakrounos fountain known from Classical literature, but this is disputed.
Creators: Chris de Lisle
Contributors: Brady Kiesling; Jeffrey Becker -
A narrow structure southwest of the Agora of Athens, built in the mid-5th century BC. Some modern scholars identify it as the Athenian prison where Sokrates and others were held and executed, but it was probably a workshop for marble workers.

A sanctuary on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens, dedicated to Aphrodite in the Classical period and associated with Isis from the late first century BC. A temple was built in the Hadrianic period.

The southeast fountain house was located in the southeast corner of the Agora of Athens. It was built in the 520s BC and was remodeled in the early 4th century BC. The water supply is derived from the Peisistratid aqueduct. In the second century AD, it was identified as the Enneakrounos fountain known from Classical literature, apparently incorrectly.

The Southeast Stoa lined the east side of the Panathenaic Way at the southeast corner of the Athenian Agora, between the Library of Pantainos and the City Eleusinion. It was built in the mid-second century AD and incorporated into the Post-Herulian Wall after 267 AD.
Creators: Chris de Lisle
Contributors: Jeffrey Becker -
A street originating at the southeast corner of the Athenian Agora, between the south end of the Stoa of Attalos and the north side of the Library of Pantainos, which ran to the Roman Agora. It was paved and monumentalised in the late first and early second century AD, with an arch at the Agora end and the Street Stoa along the southern side. It is overlaid by the modern Odos Pikilis.
