Sa tSean-Ghréig, ba iad láithreacha a thógadh ar mhullaigh iad na hAcrapoilí, nó Acrapoil[1] (as Sean-Ghréigis: ἀκρόπολις, traslitriú: akrópolis, a chiallaíonn 'cathair ard'), mar shampla Acrapoil na hAithne,[2] an ceann is cáiliúla. Foirgnimh ba iad iad i gcroíthe na gcathracha, ar chnoic arda. Bhí sé coitianta ag daoine, san am a chuaigh thart, tógáil in áiteanna arda ionas go mbeadh staid chosanta acu. De réir a chéile, is minic gur fhás na láithreáin chosanta seo as cuimse gur rinneadh cathracha astu, cosúil le Cathair na hAithne.
D'fheidhmigh na hAcrapoilí mar ionaid adhartha chomh maith le mar dhaingin.
