After 1987 listing, ticketed Acropolis visits include the Theatre of Dionysus as a stop on a mass circuit.

Context

Tickets fund stone and crowd it. Medium confidence on magnitudes. 1981 London productions are a different access path.

Aeschylus is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

A selfie is not a Loeb.
