Abstract
The Sixth Century B.C. was a crucial moment in Athens for the delimitation and definition of citizenship, which took place at the same time as the clear separation between slaves and the citizens. The legal measures of Solon in this sense were accompanied -also in the time of the Peisistratids- by the organisation and the hierarchy of city space, especially the agora (whose entrance was marked by purificatory rituals) and the gymnasiums. Likewise, Solon and the Peisistratids promoted, in the Athenian imaginary world, links between some feasts and heroic and divine cults (as Heracles, Hephaistos or Hermes), and full integration into citizenship.
