P16053.JPG [42/85] Keywords: Kerameikos Caption: The Kerameikos. The Tritopatreion (shrine of the Tritopatres) and the fork of the Sacred Way (right) and the Street of the Tombs (left). We are not quite sure who the "Tritopatres" ("Three Fathers"?) were. One theory is that they represent the souls of dead ancestors. View from the east. For the Tritopatreion, see Knigge 1991, p. 103-105, no. 14.
