Question

What purpose did a grotto serve?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. A grotto was a place where one could commune with nymphs and muses, and escape the summer heat.

Explanation:

A grotto is a cavity of small size that can have been created by nature or by humans.  In ancient times, natural caves and rock springs were considered to be the residence of nymphs and other chthonic beings. In Hellenism and Roman times, such sanctuaries were designed architecturally in the form of nymphs, equipped with niches and sculptures. In late antiquity, however, systems were also created that only had such "mythical" traditions and mostly profane art character.
