The Stoa of Zeus (Eleutherios) at Athens, was a two-isled stoa located in the northwest corner of the Agora. It was built circa 425 B.C. - 410 B.C for religious purposes in dedication to Zeus by the Eleutherios (Freedom): a cult founded after the Persian War. It is different from others in that it was a stoa rather than a temple (the common building used for religious purposes). The building, however, is believed to have also served other civic purposes due to its central location. It is a possibility that the structure was built by Mnesikles, the same architect who built the Propylaia.
