What made the agora a center for cultural interaction?

It was a place in ancient Athens where people gathered and, well, talked about things. Mainly politics and philosophy. I may be mistaken, but I think it was also the place they gathered to vote

This is what i found on google “eightin 1997, the mccaughey septuplets were born in carlisle, iowa. multiple births of as many as eight babies have been born alive, the first set on record to the chukwu family in texas in 1998; one died and seven survived. in 2009, a second set, the suleman octuplets, were born in bellflower, california.” i was surprised about this . i don’t want to have that many babies .
