Views of Epidaurus, Peloponnese, Greece

EPIDAURUS, GREECE - APRIL 14 : A view from above of the Theatre, on April 14, 2007 in Epidaurus, Greece. The Theatre, designed by Polykleitos the Younger, was built in the late 4th century BC and extended in the Hellenistic period. It was rediscovered in 1881 and significantly restored in the 1950s. It has the three main features of a Greek theatre: the orchestra, a sunken round stage; the skene, a raised rectangular stage; and the cavea, a raked semi-circular auditorium with radiating diazomas, or aisles, one of which is central to this image. The theatre is renowned for its accoustics thanks to the symmetry of the cavea, and for its beautiful mountain view, seen here in the late afternoon light. (Photo by Manuel Cohen)
