Tried to circumvent the Acropolis via the Peripatos: the ancient road which surrounds the Acropolis and the plateau itself.

Tragedy at the Theatre of Dionysus. There is barely any leg-space but seats are high enough to prevent an eyeful of heads obscuring the stage. The high priest sits smugly on his own seat, arms at rest on armrests whilst we commoners rub shoulders with each other. His table is laden with grapes. An attendant pours and serves him wine: a blessing from Dionysus himself.
