The Shackled Men of Phaleron - The new venue

The “Shackled Men of Phaleron,” the impressive archaeological find discovered in 2016 in the area of the old Hippodrome, are being released. The 79 human skeletons, which had been buried in Attic soil since the 7th century BC, bound with their hands tied behind their backs or even to one another, after a fatal blow to the head, will return to their original discovery site. There, within the first half of 2026, construction of the museum shell will be completed, which will protect them while also allowing public viewing.
