A pleasant surprise at the alleys of Plaka is the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, at Tripodon street. In ancient Greece the sponsor of dramatic performances erected monuments in honor of their win. The monument of Lysicrates was built in 335/4 BC, as we are informed by the relevant inscription.
The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates was erected by Lysicrates, a wealthy choregos (=sponsor) of musical performances in the Theater of Dionysus, to commemorate the award of first prize in 335/334 BC.
