Pnyx U

The meaning of the word Pnyx is roughly “Place where the People stand cheek by jowel”, insofar so that it had a capacity to hold almost 10.000 Athenian Men who together made up the Ekklesia, which was Athens Parliament. Therefore, it could be called the cradle of the Athenian Democracy and the heart of Athenian politics for almost 300 years. The list of speakers who addressed the citizens of Athens included names as Kleisthenes, Aristides, Perikles, Demosthenes and Themistokles who gave legendary speeches that are staples in Rhetoric classes until this very day. And now, here in our server and community, we want to offer YOU a place to learn from each other’s knowledge and experiences. We have teachers who are proficient in their fields of expertise offering lectures as well as opportunities for our students to conduct impromptu study sessions. And what would a university setting be without social interaction, so please allow Pnyx U to provide that ever important feature, too. Please have a look around, enjoy your time, and let us use this place to learn and widen our horizons.
