Athens, Greece – Acropolis, Theater of Herode Atticus and Portico of Eumenes – Postcard

This postcard depicts the dramatic ruins of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the adjacent Portico of Eumenes, nestled on the southwest slope of the Acropolis in Athens. 
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus was constructed in 161 AD by the wealthy Roman senator Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Regilla. Designed as a stone amphitheater, it originally featured a wooden roof and seated around 5,000 spectators. It hosted music concerts, orations, and theatrical performances in the Roman tradition. After centuries of abandonment, it was excavated and restored in the mid-20th century and continues to serve as one of the world’s most iconic open-air performance venues, especially during the Athens Festival.
Adjacent to the theater lies the Portico of Eumenes, a long covered walkway (stoa) built in the 2nd century BC by Eumenes II of Pergamon. This stoa provided shade and shelter for those attending performances and linked the Theater of Dionysus with the Odeon above. Together, these structures reflect Athens' enduring legacy as a cultural and civic capital from antiquity to the present day.
