Odeon of Herodes Atticus
Roman Odeon of Ancient Corinth, located near the Temple of Apollo in Greece. Built in the late 1st century A.D. it was later reconstructed by Herodes Atticus, a renowned Greek scholar and philanthropist. Initially used for performances and musical competitions, its orchestra area was expanded around 225 AD to function as an arena. The Odeon is situated on a hillside, west of the Temple of Apollo, and its ruins are a significant archaeological site in Ancient Corinth
