The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes (Greek: Μνημείο των Επωνύμων Ηρώων, romanized: Mnēmeio tōn Epōnymōn Hērōōn, located in the Ancient Agora of Athens, Greece adjacent to the Metroon, was a marble podium that bore the bronze statues of the heroes representing the phylai of Athens. The monument was surrounded by a wooden fence on stone posts. All that remains on the modern agora are pieces of a long statue base with the space for ten statues and two tripods at the ends with a partially restored fence. The large size and prominent position make the monument into a landmark for the Agora visitors.
