Athens - Odeion of Herodes Atticus

The large complex of buildings on the south side of the Acropolis extends from the Theater of Dionysios at the east end by way of the Stoa of Eumenes to the youngest of the three structures, the Odeion of Herodes Atticus, at the west end.

This is named after Herodes Atticus of Marathon (101-177), who built it in memory of his wife Regilla in A.D. 161.

Its proximity to the Theater of Dionysos provides a convenient demonstration of the difference between the Greek and Roman methods of theater construction.
