Who was it that thought that was a safe angle to put rows of seats on a hill. Imagine drinking a little meade at the top and then trying to climb down to your seats half way down the slope. Yikes! The stage down below had to be moved around lest,it fall off the hill!!
The temple of Dionysius was also right next to the stage, and here are the ruins.
At least there are ruins to see of this temple, not to be confused with the site of the temple of Zeus, which today sits in Berlin, the Germans having absconded with the whole thing!
And there is really nothing left of the library today, other than the field where it was located on the top of this tier of the city….
