Which Gods were worshiped on the Acropolis?

Question

Obviously there was Athena, but were there any others?

what is it with people! I don't care about HOW MANY gods there were, I want to know what was worshiped on top of the Athenian Acropoilis. Athena was the big one, but who else? I know there were 4 of them, but I want to know which.

Answer 1

Ok, Athena was the big and the patron goddess of Athens.
The only other main goddess that is mentioned as having her own specific shrine is Artemis.
The temples on the north side of the Acropolis housed primarily the earlier Athenian cults and those of the Olympian gods, while the southern part of the Acropolis was dedicated to the cult of Athena in her many qualities: as Polias, Parthenos, Pallas, Promachos, Ergane and Nike.
The Romans erected a small temple on the site dedicated to Augustus and Rome in 27BCE.
Hope this helps...

Answer 2

Many. There were the well known gods of the Greek Parthenon, along with various more local spirits which inhabited nearly everything. Although the spirits were not worshiped in the temples, but in the household; these spirits did have regional holidays to celebrate them yearly.
for the main part of your question there are the gods of the Parthenon: Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hades, Apollo, Artemis and various others. I'd recommend a wiki search for a fuller list.

Answer 3

The word acropolis simply refers to the upper part of a town (Greek: acros = top, polis = city).
