[5] At Agrae[6] on the Ilissos, where she was believed to have first hunted after her arrival from Delos, Artemis Agrotera had a temple, dating to the 5th century BC, with a statue carrying a bow.
[7] During the Boedromia, on the seventh day of Boedromion (roughly, the beginning of September), an armed procession would take 600 goats to this temple,[8][9] where they would all be sacrificed by the polemarch in honor of the victory at the Battle of Marathon.
The temple was destroyed in 1778,[5] when the Ottoman forces occupying Athens set about demolishing ancient sites for building material to construct a wall around the city.
[11] The ruins of the temple survive today on Ardettou Street, tightly surrounded by modern buildings.
[14] The name Agrotera is synonymous with the epithet Agraea, but Eustathius derives it from the town of Agrae.
