The Theatre Created by Epidaurus


The Theatre Created by Epidaurus
By Laura and Trinity

It was a great experience, and it was a great experience. It was a great experience. This theater is in the east of Greece on the Argolid plain. The theater is called "Epidaurus" because there is a hero named "Epidaurus, who is the son of Apollo who created this civic monument" (from http://www.ancient.eu/epidaurus/ ) for dramatic performances. The theater was destroyed in 395 by the Goths and Emperor Theodosius the second. However, the theater was deserted because of earthquakes that occurred between 522-551. Than the site was found in 1881 by the Greek Archaeological Society. A fun fact about this site is that there are fourteen thousand people in the audience to watch the performance.
First off, when we were at the entrance of Epidaurus, there were stray cats and dogs everywhere, so everyone was happy about petting the animals. Once we entered, we headed up a hill to the Theater of Epidaurus. At the gates of the theater (look at the picture at the top right), our tour guide talked about "how the gates looked." (Maria Elena). When we entered, our tour guide explains the acoustics of the theater and how it works. For example, "when you are in the center of your voice, you are more clear and when you lie on the ground your voice gets louder. However, back in the day.

The theater looked like a circle with three fourths of it surrounded by the audience. The stage looked like a modern thrust stage. This structure was very detailed because of the arrangement of the seating and where the stage was. Once the tour guide was done explaining about the site, everyone went up and down the stairs to experiment the volume of the site.
Overall, we really enjoyed learning about the theatre and thought the view was really nice from the top of the theatre(look at bottom left picture). We also tried out the volume of the stage and the kids on the tour tried it out and had fun with experimenting with the volumes. Lastly, we would recommend it to people who go to Greece in the future.

  1. Although it is still rebuilding, the theatre is very big. It also have a special "setting".
