Everything begins with a greeting.
A glance, a word, an echo...
To walk the Agora, you must first say “khaire.”

Khaire is a greeting in Ancient Greek.
But within Agoreion, it is not merely a greeting — it is a mode of approach, a statement of existence.

Here, saying “hello” isn’t just the beginning of a conversation.
It means: “I am here,”
“I have created an ancient identity,”
“I arrived with this persona,”
and “I am ready to tell this story.”

These may feel familiar to you:

• You share. (But really, you dedicate — to a god, to another prosopon, or to an idea...)
• You receive comments.
• You contribute to the creations of others.
• You follow the stream, and respond to content.
• You create galleries, blogs, and pages for your masks.
• You have your own profile, and visit the pages of others.
• You create prosopon identities inspired by different ancient cultures.

But all of this happens not under your real name,
but through your prosopon.

In ancient theatre, every actor wore a prosopon:
A mask — not merely to hide the face, but to create and embody a character.

In Khaire, the prosopon is more than a mask:
It is your mythopoetic identity.
A way to express yourself through the language, voice, and form of an ancient culture.

Every user creates their first prosopon on Agoreion using a triad of Ancient Greek name + demos (district).
This becomes your first step into the Agora — and your personal URL:
Let’s say you choose the name Sokrates (Σωκράτης) and the demos Alopeke (Ἀλωπεκή). Your identity and URL would be:
khaire.org/sokrates.alopeke
Sokrates of Alopeke

Perhaps later you decide to create a Persian identity. You choose the name known to Greeks as Atossa — but you select her original name: Hutaosa (𐎠𐎫𐎿𐎢𐏁), and as a city, you pick Parsa (𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿) (Persepolis). Now your identity and URL become:
khaire.org/hutaosa.parsa
Hutaosa of Parsa

But this is an open universe:
In time, you may create other identities from other ancient cultures:

• Mesopotamian
• Ancient Egyptian
• Old Turkic
• Persian
• Even for your animal companions...

Each prosopon is a different voice, a different story.
And from your prosopa page (prosopon = singular, prosopa = plural), you can manage them all. When stepping into the streets of the Agora, you may wear whichever prosopon (mask, character, identity) you choose.

• You share content in the Agora. (A vase scene, a mythological fragment, a thought, a drawing, a poem...)
• These are called dedications. Perhaps to a god, another prosopon, or an idea...
• Your dedications appear in the stream. They are organized into thematic columns.
• Other prosopons contribute — not in ordinary ways, but through verses, images, and symbols.
• “Echoes” form. Your voice multiplies, and a culture of poetic commentary emerges.
• You discover your favorite path. Maybe the Theatre of Dionysos, the streets of Kerameikos, or the Temple of Delphoi…
• You find your own Peripatos, your own path. And on that path, you walk alongside fellow Agoreans...
• You create gallery, blog, and calling card pages, and dedicate them to the Agora through a timeline.
• If you’re no longer a meteikos but have become a polites, you join the ekklesia (assembly).
• You take your seat in the Bouleuterion.
• ...

In Khaire, you don’t just share content —
You construct identity, build narrative, and breathe life into myth.

Agoreion is a digital ecosystem that organizes ancient thought and production.
Khaire is not the social — but the interactive component of this ecosystem.
It is a socio-cosmos, a mytho-cosmos.

Khaire is a space that responds to what happens in the Agora, layering itself with meaning — not social, but socio-mythopoietic.

• To re-construct yourself.
• To become not just an observer, but a participant.
• To be not anonymous, but a voice imbued with meaning.
• To transform mythology from mere knowledge into a way of life.

“Agora is not merely a past.
It is a way of thinking, a dream of being together.”

Khaire is where that dream echoes.

Now the stage is yours.
