希臘古蹟篇4- Epidaurus沒打入冷宮

Epidaurus

呢個是當日最後一個行程, 其實已有點疲倦, 或許想家了, 不過這個古蹟沒被荒廢,

希臘人同意粉國一樣, 善用古蹟, 沒有把它打入冷宮, 夏天舉辦大型演奏會,

而活動又可幫補古蹟維修, 一定唔會放棄!


呢個theatre 勝在 Acoustic effect 原聲一流 ，個導遊小姐做左個示範動作，

我地坐上山頂度，然後她在中間個圓圈講解，我地坐系山頂度也聽得好鬼清楚！

怪不得 雖然地處生卡拉, 每年夏天仲用緊呢做 concert 啊!!

The Asklepieion

巨型劇場旁邊重有一個古希臘時代用作精神治療法的中心，但現在又係得番一個廢墟睇！他們現在再重新發掘，所以只有小部份開放, 如 momument gateway。
因為太遲才由 theatre 下來，我只看了個 博物館，便比人趕, 員工要收工，所以映吾到相。

Owing to the  relatively remotness,  the sanctuary of Epidauru  was used as  an extensive therapeutic and religious centre, dedicated to the healing of god Asklepios.  Asklepios is a  mortal physician defied by Zeus after his death for retrieving a patient from the underworld.   Asklepios was depicted in his temple here clutching a staff and flanked by a dog and a serpent – common symbols of natural wisdom.
