The Sanctuary of Asklepios: A Meditative Walk Through the Archaeological Site at Ancient Epidaurus
Join award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras, as he explores the most famous healing centre of the ancient world - the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Ancient Epidaurus!
The Sanctuary of Asklepios lies on the Argolid plain, with Mt. Arachnaio and Mr. Titthion to the north. The former was said to have been a home of Zeus and Hera, and the latter, whose gentle slopes lead down to the plain, was said to have been where Asklepios was born.
To the south of the sanctuary is Mt. Kynortion, where there was a shrine to Apollo, Asklepios’ father. Farther to the south are the wooded slopes of Mt. Koryphaia, where the goddess Artemis is said to have wandered.
This is a land of myth and legend, a world of peace and healing, green and mild, dotted with springs. The sanctuary was actually called ‘the Sacred Grove’.
Asklepios, as a god of healing, was worshiped at Epidaurus from the 5th century B.C. to the 4th century A.D. According to archaeologists, it was the sick who turned to Asklepios, people who had lost all hope of recovery – the blind, the lame, the paralyzed, the dumb, the wounded, the sterile – all of them wanting a miracle.
We hope you enjoy this calming, mediative journey through the ruins of the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Ancient Epidaurus!
