I was re-watching pjo series while I was eating dinner...(like 4 hours before I'm writing this)

And as a art historian (sorry if it's not how it's said, I don't know how to say "historiadora del arte" in English right now because English is my second language, it's 3 am and I don't have Wi-Fi right now) ...I'm a little upset because the arches in Poseidon's cabin... Upset wasn't the word, it's more like... It was almost perfect reinterpretacion of an ancient Greek temple (a prostyle temple with a different number of columns) but the arches... 😅

THE GREEKS KNEW HOW TO BUILD WITH ARCHES, BUT THEY DIDN'T USED THEM. THE ROMANS USED MORE THE ARCH IN ARCHITECTURE. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is stupid, I'm more laughing than complaining (because all the new Rome vs camp half blood if we get there) but really... They manage to use an architectural plant that it was used in temples for the cabin, with a different number of columns (probably tomorrow I'll analyze it better because it was so fun to put my degree in use for my funny silly show) but then they put those arches over the door and windows... And I understand that it looks more fancy and pretty, but that was more in roman architecture than Greek (and even Romans didn't used those arches too much, they were fans of domes and half barrel vaults... But I'll analyze it tomorrow because it's 3 am and my brain isn't braining.)

Annabeth would haunted the architect that used those arches 🤣 that was my immediate intrusive thought.

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in Greece is a remarkable testament to ancient Greek artistic prowess and classical architecture. Built in the 4th century BCE, this meticulously designed amphitheater features exceptional acoustics, allowing even faint whispers to be heard from the highest seats. It was primarily used for Greek tragedies and comedies, highlighting the cultural significance of theater in ancient times.
