Horos Diosdraws on a wide variety of literary and archaeological evidence to argue that an Archaic horosinscription and other rock cuttings on the northeast slope of the Hill of the Nymphs in Athens are remnants of a shrine of Zeus Meilichios, a popular god of purification worshipped widely in Athens, Attica, and the greater Greek world.
