   • 1987, Poul Anderson, Karen Anderson, The King of Ys, volume 1 (Roma Mater; Gallicenae), Garden City, N.Y.: Nelson Doubleday, Inc., page 401:

     Though poverty lurked in tenements and alleys, joviality flourished in taverns, foodstalls, bawdyhouses, odeions, the homes of the well-to-do.

   • 1995, Richard Leo Enos, Roman Rhetoric: Revolution and the Greek Influence, Waveland Press, →ISBN, page 94:

     As we have seen, Roman sponsorship of chairs of rhetoric and cultural buildings—such as theatres, odeions, and libraries—is well documented from the Republic through the reign of Hadrian, revealing sustained support for rhetoric and literary studies throughout the Empire.

   • 2013, G[regory] O[wen] Hutchinson, Greek to Latin: Frameworks and Contexts for Intertextuality, Oxford, Oxon: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 88:

     The idea that the building was originally for declamation (Spawforth (2012), 63–4) does not account convincingly for the colossal and the life-size statues of Dionysus probably in the stage area (Thompson (1950), 69,78–80, plates 51–2; Paus. 1.14.1; the architectural form of odeia is perfectly suited to theatrical performance or performance related to drama).

   • 2016, John McK[esson] Camp II, “Bouleuteria and Odeia”, in Margaret Melanie Miles, editor, A Companion to Greek Architecture, Wiley Blackwell, →ISBN, part III (Civic Space), page 351:

     The position of all bouleuteria and many odeia is determined by the location of other associated public facilities, especially agoras and other peristyle courtyards.

   • 2023, Dean Peeters, Shaping Regionality in Socio-Economic Systems: Late Hellenistic – Late Roman Ceramic Production, Circulation, and Consumption in Boeotia, Central Greece (c. 150 BC–AD 700) (Roman and Late Antique Mediterranean Pottery; 18), Oxford, Oxon: Archaeopress, →ISBN, pages 58–59:

     In addition, only a small number of cities (and almost no small cities) present evidence for the repair or adaptation of public buildings (i.e. agorai, theatres, odeia, stadions, aqueducts, and baths) during the Early Roman Imperial period.
