Cynosarges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cynosarges (Greek: Κυνόσαργες Kynosarges) was a famous temple of Heracles, public gymnasium, and surrounding grove located just outside the walls of Ancient Athens[1] on the southern bank of the Ilissos river and near the Diomeian gate.[2] The modern suburb of Kynosargous is named after it.
