Ephesus Odeum - Odeon
This building in the form of a small theatre was built in the 2nd century at around
the same time and by the same people, namely Varius Antonius and his wife
Flavia Papiona, as the baths beside it. It differs from the theatre in function,
being used for meetings of the municipal council and concerts. It also differed
from the theatre in being roofed by a wooden awning providing protection from sun
and rain. It had seating for between 1500 and 2000. The first five tiers above the
orchestra are original, with the stairs adorned with lion's paws in a very good
state of preservation. An extraordinarily beautiful head of Eros found in the
orchestra area is now exhibited in the Selcuk Museum.
