Μνημείο Λυσικράτους, Αθήνα / Monument of Lysicrates, Athens, Greece
Το Μνημείο Λυσικράτους, γνωστό και ως «Φανάρι του Διογένη», είναι ένα πέτρινο κτίσμα κυλινδρικού σχήματος, το καλύτερα σωζόμενο χορηγικό μνημείο της αρχαιότητας. Βρίσκεται στην Αθήνα, επί της αρχαίας οδού Τριπόδων και κτίστηκε από τον Λυσικράτη το 335-334 π.Χ. προκειμένου να στηρίζει και να αναδεικνύει ένα σημαντικό αντικείμενο στην κορυφή του: τον χάλκινο τρίποδα που του είχε δοθεί ως έπαθλο για τον ρόλο του ως χορηγού (χρηματοδότη) του νικητήριου θεατρικού έργου στους τελευταίους δραματικούς αγώνες. Οι χορηγοί ήταν ευκατάστατοι πολίτες που αναλάμβαναν με έξοδά τους τη συγκρότηση του χορού, δηλαδή της ομάδας ανθρώπων που συμμετείχε σε θεατρικά έργα και επίσημες τελετές. Ο χάλκινος τρίποδας ήταν το πρώτο βραβείο των θεατρικών αγώνων και απονεμόταν στον χορηγό του δραματικού έργου. Οι τρίποδες κατατίθενταν στο Ιερό του Διονύσου ή τοποθετούνταν στη γειτονική οδό των Τριπόδων. Προκειμένου δε να εκτεθούν με μεγαλοπρεπέστερο τρόπο, οι τρίποδες έμπαιναν μερικές φορές σε ψηλή βάση, η οποία μπορούσε να έχει την μορφή κίονα, ή ακόμη και μνημείου σε σχήμα ναΐσκου, όπως έχει αυτή του Λυσικράτους.
Το Μνημείο του Λυσικράτους παρέμεινε άθικτο στην ίδια θέση μέχρι σήμερα, παρ΄ότι ο τρίποδας στην κορυφή του δεν σώζεται. Το 1669 ενσωματώθηκε στο γειτονικό Μοναστήρι των Καπουτσίνων οι οποίοι το μετέτρεψαν σε αναγνωστήριο και βιβλιοθήκη, αφού είχαν μετακινήσει τον ένα ορθοστάτη για να ανοίξουν είσοδο. Η μονή καταστράφηκε κατά την Ελληνική Επανάσταση. Αργότερα, το μνημείο περιήλθε για ένα διάστημα στην κυριότητα του γαλλικού κράτους. Σήμερα το μνημείο εντοπίζεται στην πλατεία Λυσικράτους, στη συμβολή των οδών Λυσικράτους, Βύρωνος και Σέλλευ.

Monument of Lysicrates at Athens June 2019
This wonderful monument was built to celebrate a chorus performance which won a bronze trophy as first prize
Monument + crash
Filmed at Shrugbourgh Hall in Stafford, this is a beautiful monument in the grounds. Filmed with a handheld camera and my tricopter cam (Mobius)! Bonus material at the end when i lose control due to a failed servo at about 100ft high More of a controlled landing than a crash, only needed to replace the servo and it was back in the air. Another of Stuart's Athenian copies, it was built between 1764 and 1771 and apes the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, (the original Lanthorn was erected in the fourth century B.C. to support a trophy won in a Dionysian festival). The bowl of the monument was originally made of Wedgewood Black Basalt ware, but this and the supporting tripod were replaced in fibreglass in 1965. A similar monument may also be found not too far distant at Alton Towers

Οδός Βύρωνος
Vironos is a small no pedestrianized street which at peak times is so overcrowded that drivers avoid it. It has many little shops of memorabilia. At the end of Vyronos take a closer view at Monument of Lysicrates and the leafy square. The monument of Lysicrates is stained by the exhaust of the incredible Athen's traffic. It hasn't be restored for decades. The view of the Acropolis walls is spectacular. It is worth to have a coffee around the square. It is peaceful and not very noisy. During nights many Athenias gather there .
Athens Greece - 2006
a nice week in Athens, all those nice buildings, the harbour.
Around neighborhoods of the historical centre
The core of the historic centre is the Plaka neighborhood (at the eastern side of the Acropolis), which has been inhabited without interruption since antiquity. When you walk through the narrow labyrinthine streets lined with houses and mansions from the time of the Turkish occupation and the Neoclassical period (19th c.), you will have the impression of travelling with a time machine. You will encounter ancient monuments, such as the Lysikrates Monument, erected by a wealthy donor of theatrical performances, the Roman Agora with the famed Tower of the Winds (1st c. B.C.) and Hadrian's Library (132 A.D.), scores of bigger and smaller churches, true masterpieces of Byzantine art and architecture, as well as remnants of the Ottoman period (Fetihie Mosque, Tzistaraki Mosque, the Turkish Bath near the Tower of the Winds, the Muslim Seminary, et al.). There are also some interesting museums (Folk Art, Greek Children's Art, Popular Musical Instruments, Frysira Art Gallery, etc.), lots of picturesque tavernas, cafés, bars, as well as shops selling souvenirs and traditional Greek products.

Lysicrates Monument restored by NSW stonemasons
One of Sydney’s most intricate historic monuments has been restored to its former glory, thanks to the work of the NSW Government’s specialist stonemasons unit, a group of Sydney philanthropists and the Royal Botanic Garden. Read more:
The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates
In this video we are focusing on the monument of Lysicrates in Plaka which was built in 334 b.c. There was also the tripod street with a lot of monuments as it was a habit for the performance sponsors to place the awards that they had won. Today in that place there is the Lysicrates square. After we will see the work of the base on which the six columns and the vaulted roof on which the choragic monument was placed on. It contained the frieze from the myth of the captivity of god Dionysus by the Tyrinian pirates which he turned into dolphins. Also we focus on the Capuchin Monastery and how they helped to restore the monument and kept it safe from been taken by Lord Elgin. In 1811 the Lord Byron stayed at the monastery. Also in that place there are bases and choragic monuments that are not saved anymore
Το μνημείο χτίστηκε το 334 b.c από τον Λυσικράτη. Είναι στην πλατεία Λυσικράτους στην Πλάκα κάτω από τα ανατολικά τείχη της Ακρόπολης εκεί που ήταν στην αρχαιότητα η οδός Τριπόδων. Αυτός ο δρόμος σύνδεε την αρχαία αγορά με το θέατρο του Διονύσου. Ήταν μια συνήθεια της εποχής εκείνης ο χορηγός που έδινε τα χρήματα για μια θεατρική παράσταση και έπαιρνε το πρώτο βραβείο για εκείνη την χρονιά να στήνει μια κατασκευή πάνω στην οποία τοποθετούσε το βραβείο. Το μνημείο αποτελείται από μια ορθογώνια βάση που πάνω σε αυτή είναι το κυκλικό μνημείο με έξι κορινθιακούς κίονες. Στη ζωοφόρο υπάρχει ένα ανάγλυφο με τον μύθο της αιχμαλωσίας του θεού Διονύσου από τους Τυρρηνούς πειρατές τους οποίους μεταμόρφωσε σε δελφίνια. Στο ανώτερο επίπεδο υπάρχει μια θολωτή στέγη που στην κορυφή της είναι μια βάση με τη μορφή ακάνθου πάνω στην οποία στηριζόταν ο χορηγικός τρίποδας. Μετά το 1669 το μνημείο ενσωματώθηκε στον κήπο ενός μοναστηριού Καπουτσίνων μοναχών και αυτός είναι ο λόγος που σώζεται μέχρι σήμερα.

Plaka, Anafiotika & Syntagma (Αθήνα/Athens)
Pláka (Greek: Πλάκα) is the picturesque old historical neighbourhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. During the early modern age and until the early 20th century Plaka was noted at the time as the Albanian quarter of Athens[1][2][3][4][5] It is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists around the year, and is under strict zoning and conservation regulations, being the only neighborhood in Athens where all utilities (water, power, cable television, telephone, internet, and sewage) lie underground in fully accessible, custom-made tunnelling. Motor vehicles are not allowed in Plaka, and most streets are too narrow, thus not being able to accommodate them anyway.
Museums in Plaka include the new Jewish Museum of Greece, the Greek Folk Art Museum and the Frissiras Museum. Excavations have proven that Adrianou Street is the oldest street in Athens still in continuous use with the exact same layout since antiquity. Of special interest is the neighborhood of Anafiotika, the part of Plaka that is built against the northern slope of the Acropolis; built by immigrants from the Aegean island of Anafi in the early 19th century, it features traditional Cycladic architecture.
The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates near the Acropolis of Athens was erected by the choregos Lysicrates, a patron of many theatrical performances in the Theater of Dionysus, to commemorate the award of first prize in 335 BC or 334 BC, to one of the performances he had sponsored. The choregos was the sponsor who paid for and supervised the training of the dramatic dance-chorus.
Syntagma Square (Greek: Πλατεία Συντάγματος, Constitution Square), is located in central Athens, Greece. The Square is named after the Constitution King Othon was forced to grant the people after a popular and military uprising, on September 3, 1843.
The square proper is bordered by Vassileos Georgiou A' Street to the north, Othonos Street to the south, Filellinon Street to the west and Amalias Avenue to the east. The eastern side of the square is higher than the western, and dominated by a set of marble steps leading to Amalias Avenue; beneath these lies the Syntagma metro station. The stairs emerge below between a pair of outdoor cafes, and are a popular city-centre gathering place. Syntagma also includes two green areas to the north and south, planted with shade trees, while in the center of the square a large water fountain traditionally hosts the occasionally sighted Syntagma pigeons, along with heat-tormented Athenians during the summer.
Syntagma Square is also the frequent site of political demonstrations. The Greek Parliament is immediately across Amalias Avenue to the east, and surrounded by the extensive National Gardens, which are open to the public. Every hour, the changing of the guard ceremony, performed by the Presidential Guard, is conducted in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the area between the square and parliament. On Sundays and official holidays, the ceremonial changing of the guard takes place with an army band and the majority of the 120 Evzones present at 11am.
Syntagma Square is also a hub for many forms of public transportation in Athens; Syntagma station of the Athens Metro is here, the tram stops here, and buses or trolley-buses are available to many points in the city. Travel between Syntagma Square and the Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is available via special airport bus and metro lines. Free wireless Internet access at high speeds (4 Mbit/s) is offered by the Municipality of Athens at the Square.
The Square is also located near many of Athens' oldest and most famous neighbourhoods and tourist attractions. The neighborhoods of Plaka (Πλάκα), Monastiraki (Μοναστηράκι), Psiri (Ψυρρή) and Kolonaki (Κολωνάκι) are all within walking distance, and most of the famous sites of ancient Athens are nearby, including the Acropolis (Ακρόπολις), the Theater of Dionysus, the Areopagus, the Ancient Agora of Athens (Αρχαία Αγορά των Αθηνών) with Hadrian's Library, the Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora, the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, the Arch of Hadrian (Αψίς του Ανδριανού), the Temple of Olympian Zeus (Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός), the Pnyx (Πνύκα), the Philopappos Monument (Μνημείο του Φιλοπάππου) on the Hill of the Nymphs, the Kerameikos Cemetery (Νεκροταφείο Κεραμικού), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Μνημείο του Αγνώστου Στρατιώτη) and Lycabettus Hill. Historic churches also dot the area, some dating from the Middle Ages. (wikipedia)

Το χορηγικό μνημείο του Λυσικράτη στην Αθήνα (Lysicrate's Monument, Athens, GR)
Χορηγικό μνημείο κτισμένο στην δυτική πλευρά της οδού Τριπόδων από τον Λυσικράτη, το 335-334 π.Χ., όπως αναφέρει επιγραφή χαραγμένη στο επιστύλιο.
Είναι κτίσμα κυκλικό, κτισμένο πάνω σε τετραγωνικό βάθρο από πωρόλιθο (πλευράς 2,93 μ.) με έξι κορινθιακούς κίονες από πεντελικό μάρμαρο ανάμεσα σε υμήττιους ορθοστάτες, που αποτελούν και τα πρώτα παραδείγματα κορινθιακού ρυθμού στην Αθήνα.
Εχει ζωφόρο με σκηνές από τη ζωή του Διονύσου, μονολιθική στέγη με φυλλωτή την άνω επιφάνεια που κορυφώνεται σε βάση υπό μορφή ακάνθου, όπου πατούσε ο χορηγικός τρίποδας.
Το μνημείο - γνωστό και σαν Φανάρι του Διογένη - είχε ενσωματωθεί το 1669 σε γειτονικό Μοναστήρι Καπουτσίνων και χρησιμοποιείτο από τους μοναχούς ως αναγνωστήριο και βιβλιοθήκη, αφού είχαν μετακινήσει τον ένα ορθοστάτη για να ανοίξουν είσοδο. Η μονή καταστράφηκε κατά την Ελληνική Επανάσταση.
Αποτελεί το κέντρο ενδιαφέροντος της ομώνυμης πλατείας. Είναι το καλύτερα σωζόμενο παράδειγμα χορηγικού μνημείου.
Choregic monument erected on the west side of the Street of the Tripods, by Lysikrates, in 335/34 B.C., according to an inscription preserved on the architrave.
The circular building rests on a square podium of poros stone (2,93 m. long on each side), and consists of six Corinthian columns of Pentelic marble alternating with panels of Hymettian marble. The columns are among the earliest examples of the use of the Corinthian order in Athens.
The monument is decorated with a frieze depicting scenes from the life of Dionysos. The upper surface of the monolithic roof was ornamented with carved leaves that ended at an acanthus-shaped base which supported the choregic tripod, not preserved today.
The monument, known also as the Lantern of Diogenes, was incorporated in the Capucin monastery in 1669, and was used by the monks as a reading-room and library. The monks opened an entrance by removing one of the panels on the northwest side. The monastery was destroyed during the Greek Revolution in 1821.
