What does ODEON mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A building used in ancient Greece or Rome for musical or poetic performances and competitions.
An odeon was smaller than the open-air theatres used for drama and was typically roofed, giving better acoustics for singing and instrumental music. Poets and musicians competed there for prizes before an audience, making it an early form of concert hall. The design influenced later buildings across the ancient Mediterranean, and archaeologists have uncovered odeon ruins in many former Greek and Roman cities. Some modern cinema and theatre names borrow the word because of this historical association with public performance.
