Located on the west side of the Street of the Tripods, stands the majestic, 54-foot tall, Monument of Lysikrates. Erected in 334 B.C, this circular building rests on a square podium of stone (2,93 m. long on each side), and it consists of six Corinthian columns which are one of the earliest example of Corynthian style in Athens. Each of the Pentelic marble columns are alternated by panels of Hymettian marble. Adorning the monument is a frieze of scenes depicting Dionysos, the Greek god of festivity and wine, punishing Tyrrhenian pirates by turning them into dolphins. The upper surface of the roof bears carved leaves that completed an acanthus-shaped base that supported a tripod that no longer exists today. The monument was built by Lysitheides’ son, choregos (a wealthy citizen) Lysikrates of Kikynna, to commemorate the champion of the dramatic festival at the theater of Dionysos. The monument was given as a trophy to the tribe of Akamantis that won a musical competition with a chorus of boys and a flute. In 1669, The Monument of Lysikrates was used by the Capuchin monks as a reading room and a library; in 1821, the monastery was destroyed by the Greek Revolution. In 1876-1887 French architects, Fr. Boulanger and E. Loviot, began the restoration of the monument.
