Hekatompedon Decree, Athens 485 BCE

An Athenian Pre-Parthenon Text Found on the Acropolis

(January 6, 2025) Never before translated. Now at Epigraphical Museum, Athens, EM 6794 (Metope B).

Despite being fragmentary this text is talking about integrating the life power class of powers with the motion/emotion class of powers. This later class includes astrology magic sourced by the dark new moon god Su.

Snakes were put at the right and left corners of the East pediment of the Hekatompedon (Now in the Athens, acropolis museum). These snake would have represented Hekate. Photo from: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Snakes-hekatompedon.jpg
The piedmont's center had a pair of gender ambiguous lions (breast sack with male mane) eating a calf. These lions possibly represented Thu who would later be personified as Athena (meaning "powers of Thu."). This deity was the power enabling emotion magic which the text mentions.

Hekatompedon History

The Hekatompedon or Hekatompedos (Ancient Greek: ἑκατόμπεδος, was an ancient Greek temple on the Acropolis of Athens built from limestone in the Archaic period and placed in the position of the present Parthenon. 

The temple was built around 570–550 BC. It was demolished by the Athenians in 490 BC after the victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon to build a larger temple known as the Older Parthenon. The latter was destroyed in 480 BC by the returning Persians in the Destruction of Athens. In its spot was built the present day Parthenon. The existence of the Hekatompedon is mentioned in a few anceint Greek sources. Its foundations have disappeared, but architectural and sculptural elements found in the southern part of the Mycenaean wall of Acropolis of Athens have been assigned by scholars to this temple. 

Also assigned to this temple are these fragments of a Druid Akkadian text which were found on the site.

HKAT'.M.P.ED. seems to be an Akkadian phrase meaning "Hekate's fertility-fluids being opened by motivation" or "Hu's Kate's fertility-fluids being opened by motivation" (the /os/ suffix is a Greek noun ending). What is significant here is that "Kate" is being spelled out with inner vowels, a trait which the Greeks added when writing their own spoken language which was emerging about this time. The "motivation" here is the result of emotion-magic or astrology magic (mentioned in the text).
