Only foundations remain today of this important temple which was of the Doric order, with six columns on short sides and eleven on the long, an unusually short squat proportion. It was built c.375 B.C.; it's architect was Theodotos. The temple had pedimental sculpture: the Fall of Troy was on the front eastern pediment, and a Battle between Greeks and Amazons on the western. On roof apexes and corners were carved marble figures. These sculptures were regarded as being exceptionally fine at the time, being the work of master sculptors of the period. The originals are now unfortunately in Athens, with only casts in the small unimpressive site museum.

The temple had a gold and ivory cult statue of the god...

Svätyňa Asklépia, nazývaná aj Asklépiov chrám v Epidaure, bola posvätným miestom na uzdravenie zasväteným Asklépiovi, bohu liečiteľovi, ktorý mal moc liečiť ľudí z bolesti a chorôb. Takéto svätyne boli v starovekom Grécku časté a v skutočnosti boli dosť obľúbené, pretože sem prichádzali ľudia z celého Stredomoria, aby tam našli uzdravenie.

Asklépios bol považovaný za syna boha Apolóna a smrteľnice menom Arsinoi, dcéry kráľa Messénie. Spočiatku bol smrteľný, ale mal také nezvyčajné liečivé schopnosti, že si ho ľudia urobili bohom. Hovorí sa, že Asklépios našiel lieky na všetky choroby a že ľudia už viac nebudú umierať. Asklépios tak narušil prirodzený spôsob života, a preto ho Zeus zabil zábleskom blesku. Asklépios bol chrám Asklépia, kam ľudia chodili s nádejou na vyliečenie.

V Grécku bolo roztrúsených mnoho takýchto svätýň, ale najznámejšia, ktorú navštevovali ľudia z celého Grécka a z iných oblastí Stredozemného mora, sa nachádzala v Epidaure, kde sa podľa mýtu narodil Asklépios. Aby ľudia zistili správnu liečbu, strávili noc v spálne a samotný boh im prichádzal do snov a hovoril im, čo majú robiť, aby sa uzdravili. Okrem spální mala svätyňa aj penzión so 160 izbami, štadión a minerálne pramene.

Aby potešili návštevníkov chrámu a vzdali hold bohom, ľudia v roku 340 pred Kristom postavili divadlo, ktoré je dnes známe ako Divadlo v Epidaure a je považované za majstrovské dielo architektúry. Toto divadlo postavil Polykleitos Mladší a je známe svojou skvelou akustikou.

V roku 87 pred Kristom svätyňu vyplienil rímsky generál Sulla a v roku 67 pred Kristom ju vyplienili piráti. V 19. storočí tam Archeologický inštitút vykonal vykopávky, ktoré odhalili Asklépiov chrám a niekoľko chrámov zasvätených Artemide a Apolónovi. Svätyňa a blízke divadlo dnes tvoria obľúbené archeologické...

4cent BC classical Greece site. Very large area and hugely touristic. Very famous. The theatre is especially good because of its size and because it is remarkably intact considering its age. I would consider going to lesser sites also though to get a feeling for the history. Epidavrous has become a bit too overrun. It’s hard to get a feeling for the place unless you see...
