Write a detailed description of a mysterious scene outside town with marble stairs.
assistant
A wide flight of marble stairs rests at the end of the thoroughfare. Consisting of three broad slabs of pale yellowish marble, they are intricately carved across the front of each riser. Time has worn away some of the detail, but various aspects of the gods can still be made out in places. There is nothing else around to explain why the steps are here or to what they once led.
