Summary edit

Description
English: Remains of the Heroon of Musaeus (Mousaios) on Philopappos Hill on March 21, 2020. According to the information label, "The rock-cut square to the northeast of the summit which affords niches for statues, benches and altars for offerings, is claimed to belong to the funeral monument of Mousaios. It is more probable, however, that the Hill took its name from a sanctuary of the Muses to whom the Hill must have been dedicated...In the 2nd century A.D. a burial monument 12m. in height was erected on the Hill of the Muses, which has since prevailed over the area. It takes its name from its founder Gaius Julius Philopappus, prince of Kommagene of Upper Syria and benefactor of Athens."
