A prytaneion (Ancient Greek: Πρυτανεῖον) was seat of the prytaneis (executive), and so the seat of government in ancient Greece. The term is used to describe any of a range of ancient structures where officials met (normally relating to the government of a city) but the term is also used to refer to the building where the officials and winners of the Olympic games met at Olympia. The prytaneion normally stood in centre of the city, in the agora. | |wketx=A prytaneion (Ancient Greek: Πρυτανεῖον) was seat of the prytaneis (executive), and so the seat of government in ancient Greece.

In general in ancient Greece, each state, city or village possessed its own central hearth and sacred fire, the prytaneum, representing the unity and vitality of the community. The fire was kept alight continuously, tended by the king or members of his family. The building in which this fire was kept was the prytaneum, and the chieftain (the king or prytanis) probably made it his residence. The building contained the holy fire of Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, and symbol of the life of the city. | In general in ancient Greece, each state, city or village possessed its own central hearth and sacred fire, the prytaneum, representing the unity and vitality of the community.

There was also a court of justice called the court of the prytaneum; all that is known of this court is that it tried murderers who could not be found, and inanimate objects which had caused death. Judging from its rather fanciful functions and from its name, it was probably a relic of the archaic jurisdiction of the patriarch-king. | There was also a court of justice called the court of the prytaneum; all that is known of this court is that it tried murderers who could not be found, and inanimate objects which had caused death.

Το Πρυτανείο ήταν κτίριο στην Ακρόπολη των Αθηνών. Βρισκόταν στους βόρειους πρόποδες της Ακρόπολης προς την αγορά κάτω από τον ναό της Πολιάδος Αθηνάς, πιο κάτω από το Ανάκειο και κοντά στο Αγλαύρειο. Μέσα στο κτίριο υπήρχε άγαλμα της Εστίας και της Ειρήνης και η άσβεστος λύχνος απ' όπου έπαιρναν φωτιά οι αποικιζόμενοι. Από εδώ άρχιζε η οδός των Τριπόδων, η οποία έφερε στον ιερό περίβολο του Διονυσίου κοντά στο θέατρο. | Το Πρυτανείο ήταν κτίριο στην Ακρόπολη των Αθηνών.
