An odeon or odeum (from Ancient Greek: ᾠδεῖον, romanized: ōideîon, lit. 'singing place'; Latin: ōdēum) is a type of ancient Greek and Roman building used for musical activities such as singing, musical shows, and poetry competitions. These structures were typically smaller than Greek and Roman theatres and had a roof for better acoustics.
