Hadrian's Library (Athens, Greece)
A quick peek at Hadrian's Library in Athens. If you arrive in that golden 10-30minute moment between the gate opener and the ticket person arriving to work, then free entry is granted to you, well done! However, as a tourist, you can appreciate this attraction without payment as the path around the area offers great views of Hadrian's Library.
Hadrian's Library was created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.
The building followed a typical Roman Forum architectural style, having only one entrance with a propylon of Corinthian order, a high surrounding wall with protruding niches (oikoi, exedrae) at its long sides, an inner courtyard surrounded by columns and a decorative oblong pool in the middle. The library was on the eastern side where rolls of papyrus books were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls.
The library was seriously damaged by the Herulian invasion of 267 and repaired by the prefect Herculius in AD 407-412. During Byzantine times, three churches were built at the site, the remains of which are preserved:
a tetraconch (5th century AD)
a three-aisled basilica (7th century), and
a simple cathedral (12th century), which was the first cathedral of the city, known as Megali Panagia.
Around the same period as the cathedral another church, Agios Asomatos sta Skalia, was built against the north facade, but it is not preserved.

Hadrian's Library, Greek agora & Odeon of Herodes Atticus (Αθήνα/Athens)
Hadrian's Library was built by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.
The building followed a typical Roman Forum architectural style, having only one entrance with a propylon of Corinthian order, a high surrounding wall with protruding niches (oikoi, exedrae) at its long sides, an inner courtyard surrounded by columns and a decorative oblong pool in the middle. The library was on the eastern side where rolls of papyrus books were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls.
The library was seriously damaged by the Herulian invasion of 267 and repaired by the prefect Herculius in AD 407-412). During Byzantine times, three churches were built at the site, the remains of which are preserved:
▪a tetraconch (5th c. AD)
▪a three-aisled basilica (7th c. AD), and
▪a simple cathedral (12th c. AD), which was the first cathedral of the city, known as Megali Panagia.
Around the same period as the cathedral another church, Agios Asomatos sta Skalia, was built against the north facade, which is not preserved.
The agora in Athens had private housing, until it was reorganized by Peisistratus in the 6th century BC. Although he may have lived on the agora himself, he removed the other houses, closed wells, and made it the centre of Athenian government. He also built a drainage system, fountains and a temple to the Olympian gods. Cimon later improved the agora by constructing new buildings and planting trees. In the 5th century BC there were temples constructed to Hephaestus, Zeus and Apollo.
The Areopagus and the assembly of all citizens met elsewhere in Athens, but some public meetings, such as those to discuss ostracism, were held in the agora. Beginning in the period of the radical democracy (after 509 BC), the Boule, or city council, the Prytaneis, or presidents of the council, and the Archons, or magistrates, all met in the agora. The law courts were located there, and any citizen who happened to be in the agora when a case was being heard, could be forced to serve as a juror; the Scythian archers, a kind of mercenary police force, often wandered the agora specifically looking for jurors.
The agora in Athens again became a residential area during Roman and Byzantine times.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped amphitheater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof, and was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000.
The audience stands and the 'orchestra' (stage) were restored using pentelic marble in the 1950s. Since then it has been one of the main venues of the Athens Festival, which runs from June through September each year, featuring a variety of acclaimed Greek as well as International performances; The Odeon has hosted Maria Callas, Maurice Bejart, the Bolshoi Ballets, Karolos Koun, Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis, George Dalaras (1988, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008), Haris Alexiou (1994, 2006, 2007, 2009), Marinella (1999, 2008), Dionysis Savopoulos (2004) and many other important artists. It was the venue for the Miss Universe 1973 pageant and hosted Yanni's Live at the Acropolis performance in September 1993. Another memorable performance at the Odeon of Herod Atticus was given by the Greek singer Nana Mouskouri in 1984; after 20 years of absence she returned to her country.

Hadrian's Library |Myth | Athens
During the Hellenistic and Roman period, Athens may have not been any longer the 'center of the world' but parts of its past glory were still alive and fully existent. Hadrian, the great Roman emperor was fascinated by Athens' philosophical grandeur. He wanted to renovate Athens and to give back to the city its architectural majesty.
The temple of the Olympian Zeus along with Hadrian's Arch were only few of the edifices he wanted to donate to the city of Athens. In a city glorified for its intellectual activities a library should be a sine qua non addition. Hadrian thus made a luxurious and beautiful library, just outside the northern corner of the Roman Agora.
It was a rectangular building. It had a Corinthian propylon, gate, on the west side and an open peristyle courtyard. There were three projecting conches on each of the long sides. Besides the library there were study and lecture halls. In order to fully appreciate its beauty, its majestic presence and its majesty we have to mention Pausanias' depiction of the Hadrian's Library: 'The building with 100 columns of Phrygian marble, with halls with painted ceilings, alabaster walls, and niches with statues, in which books were kept'. It was built in 132 A.D. It was destroyed by the Herulae in 267 A.D. Parts of the building were incorporated into the late Roman fortification wall. Roman eparchus Herculius repaired the library in 412 A.D. A Christian-orthodox church was constructed in the center of the peristyle court in the 5th century A.D. Only to imagine its exotic tranquility and its luxurious benefits, can make us rethink the conditions of our current educational system!

The Hadrian's Arch, Athens, Greece
A small little introduction to Hadrian's Arch.The architecture is Greek with an essence of Corinthian style because half of it was constructed by Romans. The painting you see in the beginning is captured from the information point over there. You cannot experience history without imagination. Try to sink in the fact that humanity, as old they say it is, has evidences of their long lasting art even between all chaos and wars in those times. Enjoy the small little documentary straight out of the lab of LOPI's VLogs..
