EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ruins of the Tholos and Hieron, ancient sanctuaries located in the ancient Greek city of Epidaurus. Dated back to 1901, this image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, when travelers from around the world were first beginning to explore and document the rich cultural heritage of Greece. The Tholos, or beehive-shaped building, is a well-preserved example of a Doric temple, dating from the 4th century BC. It was originally built as a treasury and was dedicated to the god Asklepios, the ancient Greek god of healing. The circular structure is adorned with intricate carvings and columns, which have weathered gracefully over the centuries. The Hieron, or sacred precinct, is located nearby and is home to the famous ancient theater of Epidaurus. This theater, also dating from the 4th century BC, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and is still in use today for performances during the Epidaurus Festival. The ruins of the Tholos and Hieron stand as a testament to the ancient Greeks' deep connection to their gods and their commitment to creating beautiful and enduring structures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of ancient Epidaurus and to appreciate the timeless beauty of Greek heritage.
