The Museion

Behind the Library itself, a landscaped square leads to a building decorated with a number of reliefs arranged in friezes depicting images of gods and nyxborn creating works of art of all kinds. The building was erected under the patronage of a group of craftsmen of the city and with the encouragement of Feron of Meletis, a philosopher who loved poetry and music. The building keeps the largest record of works of poetry, and music in all of Theros. Artists and aedos from all over come here seeking inspiration in the words of ancient geniuses. The building's walls are lined with shelves of mostly small books, mixed with images in marble, bone, and metal of all kinds, recovered from ancient times or created by some famous living artist. The rooms have beautiful ceilings with frescoes of special beauty, enlivened by magic, which are a pleasure for visitors. The aedo Pericolos "the humble" runs the Museion under the supervision of the director of the Library, but with total freedom in reality. Pericolos likes to hold events and contests in the building related to poetry readings, epics and even the presentation of a work of great beauty discoverd among the ruins of some lost palace.
