O Ódeo de Agripa (ou Odeon de Agripa) é um teatro antigo localizado na Ágora de Atenas. Construído em 15 a.C. pelo prefeito romano Marco Vipsânio Agripa, que era um aliado próximo do imperador Augusto, o edifício foi erguido como um presente para a cidade de Atenas e para comemorar a vitória romana. O Ódeo de Agripa era um teatro coberto, projetado para eventos musicais e apresentações, em contraste com os teatros ao ar livre típicos da Grécia antiga. Algumas de suas características incluem: Era um edifício de forma semicircular, com um palco e assentos para a plateia. A construção foi projetada para proporcionar uma excelente acústica, algo fundamental para os eventos musicais que ali se realizavam. O teatro tinha uma capacidade para cerca de 1.000 espectadores, o que o tornava um local de tamanho médio comparado aos grandes teatros da época. O edifício era decorado com mármore e possuía uma fachada impressionante. A construção incluía colunas e ornamentos que refletiam o estilo arquitetônico romano da época, misturado com elementos tradicionais gregos. O Ódeo de Agripa foi um importante centro cultural durante o período romano. Era usado para apresentações musicais e poéticas, e sua construção exemplifica o interesse romano por promover e preservar a cultura grega. Embora o edifício tenha sido parcialmente destruído ao longo dos séculos, partes significativas de sua estrutura ainda são visíveis e podem ser exploradas por visitantes hoje. O Ódeo de Agripa é um dos muitos sítios arqueológicos que atraem visitantes para a Ágora de Atenas. Embora em ruínas, as estruturas remanescentes oferecem uma visão fascinante da arquitetura e da cultura romana em Atenas. É um local de interesse para aqueles que estudam a influência romana na Grécia antiga e para qualquer pessoa interessada na rica história da cidade. Recomendo à visitação e contemplação.

The Odeon of Agrippa, nestled within the archaeological wonders of Athens, stands as a testament to ancient grandeur. Originally a majestic concert hall, its partial reconstruction allows visitors to envision its former glory. The intricate details of its façade and the echoes of its classical purpose make it a captivating stop. Though a fragment of its former self, the Odeon of Agrippa contributes to the rich tapestry of Athens' historical legacy.

Το Ωδείο του Αγρίππα (ή Θέατρο του Κεραμεικού ή Αγρίππειο)1] ήταν μεγάλος συναυλιακός χώρος στο κέντρο της Αρχαίας Αγοράς της Αθήνας, για μουσικές εκδηλώσεις και φιλοσοφικές διαλέξεις. Χτίστηκε περίπου το 15 π.Χ., εποχή του Ρωμαίου αυτοκράτορα Αυγούστου, καταλαμβάνοντας τον ανοιχτό χώρο στο κέντρο της αγοράς. Ήταν ένα δώρο προς τους Αθηναίους από τον Μάρκο Βιψάνιο Αγρίππα, Ρωμαίο πολιτευτή και στρατηγό. Ο Αγρίππας μάλιστα ήταν γαμπρός του Αυγούστου.[2

Η πρώτη οικοδομική φάση του Ωδείου τοποθετείται στον 1ο αι. π.Χ. Σύμφωνα με την σχεδιαστική αναπαράσταση της πρόσοψης, προκύπτει πως το κυρίως κτίσμα διέθετε στις τρεις πλευρές του (την ανατολική, τη δυτική και τη νότια) διώροφες στοές, ενώ η βόρεια πλευρά ήταν η μόνη που διέφερε και έφερε πρόπυλο. Εντυπωσιακή ήταν η αρμονική και μαθηματική σχέση των δομικών στοιχείων του, κάτι που είναι αισθητό και από το εσωτερικό του Ωδείου.

Εσωτερικά η κεντρική αίθουσα ήταν τετράγωνη και τα κύρια δομικά στοιχεία της αίθουσας, δηλαδή το κοίλο, η ορχήστρα και το προσκήνιο, καταλάμβαναν αρκετά μικρή έκταση από την κεντρική αίθουσα, δηλαδή περίπου τη μισή της έκταση. Επομένως, ο θεατρικός χώρος δεν αποτελούσε ανεξάρτητο και αυτόνομο τμήμα. Ένας από τους βασικούς στόχους της αρχιτεκτονικής του συγκεκριμένου ωδείου ήταν η προβολή του μεγαλείου της ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας. Το ελλειψοειδές σχήμα του κοίλου δημιούργησε ιδιαίτερα ευνοϊκές συνθήκες οπτικοακουστικής επικοινωνίας θεατών και καλλιτεχνών, αφού ο σκηνικός χώρος ήταν δομικά συνδεδεμένος με το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του χώρου των θεατών.

Κατά τη δεύτερη φάση του Ωδείου, τον 2ο αι. μ.Χ. σημειώνονται ορισμένες αλλαγές, καθώς η οροφή του είχε καταρρεύσει λόγω στατικών προβλημάτων. Με βάση τα νέα δεδομένα ακολούθησε μια ριζική αναδιαμόρφωση του κεντρικού θεατρικού χώρου, καθώς μεταφέρθηκε ο τοίχος του προθαλάμου βορειότερα, με αποτέλεσμα να μειωθούν οι σειρές εδωλίων και κατ’ επέκταση η χωρητικότητα των θεατών κατά το ήμισυ. Επίσης, απομακρύνθηκε το πρόπυλο και η βόρεια πλευρά του Ωδείου μετατράπηκε σε ανοιχτή στοά. Η ριζική μείωση του χώρου των θεατών της κεντρικής αίθουσας, καθώς και η μετατροπή του οπίσθιου τμήματος της σκηνής εναρμονίζεται με την νέα λειτουργία του Ωδείου κατά τον 2ο αι. μ.Χ. ως αίθουσας διαλέξεων. Πιθανότητα αργότερα να έγινε προσθήκη ενός λίθινου βήματος για τον ομιλητή.[4] Η διώροφη αίθουσα είχε χωρητικότητα περίπου 1.000 θεατών και ήταν εξοπλισμένη με υπερυψωμένη σκηνή και μαρμάρινη ημικυκλική ορχήστρα. Το δάπεδο της ορχήστρας ήταν καλυμμένο με έγχρωμες μαρμάρινες πλάκες, τοποθετημένες σε συμπαγή θεμελίωση (υπόστρωμα).[4] Η επιφάνεια της πλακόστρωσης παρουσίαζε κλίση προς ΒΔ για τη διοχέτευση των λημμάτων.[1] Είχε αμφιθέατρο 19 θέσεων. Το μήκος του ήταν 51 περίπου μέτρα, ενώ το πλάτος του περίπου 43 μέτρα.[2] Στις τρεις πλευρές η αίθουσα ήταν περιτριγυρισμένη από υπόγειες κρύπτες (Λατινικά: cryptoporticus) με στοές πάνω. Το κτήριο ήταν διακοσμημένο εξωτερικά με κιονοστοιχία κορινθιακού ρυθμού. Η κύρια είσοδος για τους θεατές βρισκόταν αρχικά στη νότια πλευρά του κτιρίου, με πρόσβαση από την άνδηρο (επίπεδη στέγη) της Μέσης Στοάς.[1] Μόνον η βόρεια πρόσοψη είχε μια μικρή στοά για πρόσβαση στη σκηνή. Στο χώρο σύμφωνα με τον Παυσανία υπήρχε ένα αξιόλογο άγαλμα του Διονύσου. Δεν υπήρχαν κίονες στήριξης της στέγης, και το κτίριο στηριζόταν αποκλειστικά στους τοίχους.[2] Για αυτό το λόγο η μήκους 25 μ. αίθουσα προξένησε την κατάρρευση της οροφής περίπου το 150 μ.Χ.. Το Ωδείο χτίστηκε ξανά, την εποχή του Αντωνίνου του Ευσεβούς, ως μικρότερη αίθουσα διαλέξεων, με χωρητικότητα μόνο 500 ατόμων, ενώ μια πιο περίτεχνη πρόσοψη προστέθηκε στη βόρεια πλευρά. Οι γιγαντιαίοι του κίονες χαράχτηκαν σε μορφές «γιγάντων» (μυθικά πρόσωπα με ουρές φιδιού) και «τριτώνων» (μυθικά πρόσωπα με ουρές ψαριών). Τέσσερα από τα αγάλματα αυτά χρησιμοποιήθηκαν αργότερα στη Στοά των Γιγάντων.[1] Το Ωδείο του Αγρίππα χρησιμοποιούνταν ακόμη και κατά τη δεύτερη φάση του μέχρι το 267 μ.Χ., που εν τέλει καταστράφηκε από πυρκαγιά το 267 μ.Χ. κατά την επιδρομή των Ερούλων.[1] Τα ερείπιά του διατηρήθηκαν μέχρι...
