History
The sanctuary of Aphrodite Pandemos ("of all the People") and Peitho ("Persuasion"), established by Theseus or Solon, was located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens, directly below the Nike Temple bastion. It was a centre of the Aphrodisia and Arrephoria festivals. The surviving remains belong to a structure built ca. 287/6 BCE.
