The first row was reserved for dignitaries; their seats have backs, making them into regular chairs. The complex had two entrances; the western has been restored to give an impression of the original theatre.

In mythology, he was the son of Apollo and the Thessalian princess Koronis, who died at childbirth. Asklepios himself was rescued and suckled by a goat. He was brought up by the centaur Cheiron, who instructed him in the art of healing, becoming so successful, that he even cured death. Of course, the god of death complained and Asklepios was killed by a thunderbolt hurled by Zeus, the king of the gods.<\/p>\n<p>His cult was immensely popular in the 4th century B.C. From all over the Hellenistic and Roman world the suffering came to his sanctuary for a cure. After the perquisite rites, they would go to sleep in the &#8220;enkoimeterion&#8221; close to the temple, in the hope that they would be visited by the god himself who would show them a cure or perform an operation himself. (As you might know, \u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u1f71\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 means \u2018to sleep\u2019, so a \u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u03b7\u03c4\u1f75\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd is \u2018a place to sleep\u2019, although most suffering would gladly escape the English derivative, a \u2018Cemetery\u2019).<\/p>\n<p>All the buildings around the temple were erected for these pilgrims and many votive gifts testify to the gratitude of the cured.<\/p>\n<p>From Epidaurus, the cult of Asklepios spread over the ancient World. In his sanctuary at the Greek island of Kos, medicine developed into a science. Later his cult was also brought to Rome where Asklepios is named as Aesculapius.<\/p>\n<p>His staff with holy snakes has become a symbol of medicine.<br \/>\nThe Greeks regarded snakes as sacred and used them in healing rituals to honor Asclepius, as snake venom was thought to be remedial and their skin-shedding was viewed as a symbol of\u00a0<b>rebirth and renewal.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16268 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Epidaurus Asklepios\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001-1500x2000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001-1125x1500.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001-529x705.jpg 529w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/omilo-blog-epidaurus-asklepios-001.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nowadays,\u00a0 pharmacies around the world, still use the<br \/>\n&#8220;snake-sign&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31861\" src=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake-705x705.png 705w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/snake.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Epidaurus Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The museum next to the theatre houses numerous objects from the sanctuary, like a collection of medical instruments made of bronze and inscriptions referring to numerous diseases (tapeworm, eye-, kidney and bladder diseases), images of Asklepios and his daughter Hygeia and large parts of the sculptures of the temple of Asklepios.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Plan your trip and visit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In case you did not visit the Epidaurus or the broader area yet, we suggest to add it to your \u201cto-do list\u201d!<br \/>\nYou could start by visiting the beautiful seaside town of <a href=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/nl\/town-nafplio-history\/\">Nafplion<\/a>, a two-hour\u2019 drive from Athens or easily accessible by public bus from Athens.<\/p>\n<h2>Accommodation in Nafplion<\/h2>\n<p>When visiting Epidaurus, it is a good idea to also visit Nafplion, and book your accommodation in this nice seaside town.<\/p>\n<p>More info about accommodation, at <a href=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/nl\/?p=31129\">https:\/\/omilo.com\/accommodation-in-nafplion\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From Nafplion you need a 30-45 minutes drive till Epidaurus (you can also take a taxi from Nafplion).<\/p>\n<h2>More interesting places and archeology in the Peloponnese<\/h2>\n<p>While Epidaurus is world-renowned for its impressive ancient theater and healing sanctuary, the Peloponnese is also home to many other fascinating archaeological sites worth exploring.
