Beskrywing
Die antieke Agora van Athene (ook genoem die Klassieke Agora) is die bekendste voorbeeld van 'n antieke Griekse agora, geleë noordwes van die Akropolis en begrens aan die suide deur die heuwel van die Areopagus en aan die weste deur die heuwel bekend as die Agoraios Kolonos, ook genoem Marktheuwel. Die aanvanklike gebruik van die Agora was as 'n kommersiële, vergader- of residensiële bymekaarkomplek.

Agony
contest; wrestling; severe struggling with pain and suffering. Anguish is the reflection on evil that is already past, while agony is a struggle with evil at the time present. It is only used in the New Testament by Luke (Luke 22:44) to describe our Lord's fearful struggle in Gethsemane.
The verb from which the noun "agony" is derived is used to denote an earnest endeavour or striving, as "Strive [agonize] to enter" (Luke 13:24); "Then would my servants fight" [agonize] (John 18:36). Comp. (1Cor 9:25; Col 1:29; 4:12; 1Tim 6:12 ; 2Tim 4:7 ), where the words "striveth," "labour," "conflict," "fight," are the renderings of the same Greek verb.
