Epidaurus, in the northeastern Peloponnese, was home to the most famous healing sanctuary of the ancient Greek world, dedicated to Asklepios, god of medicine. Pilgrims traveled here from across the Mediterranean seeking cures, often through the ritual of incubation, sleeping in the sanctuary in hopes of a healing dream from the god. The site’s ancient theater, built in the 4th century BC, is renowned for its remarkable acoustics and state of preservation; it is still used for performances today, including classical Greek drama such as Aristophanes’ Clouds and Sophocles’ Electra. [Editor’s note: the original site’s photos for this page mostly documented modern theatrical performances staged at the ancient theater, without descriptive text. This paragraph was drafted as a placeholder and should be reviewed/expanded by Dr. Siegel.]
