P20 Epidaurus
The Tholos, 350 BC. It was a circular building with 26 Doric pillars on the outside, 14 Corinthian inside and a conical roof. It was probably associated with the cult of Asclepius. The priest went down a narrow spiral corridor, symbolising descent into the depths of the earth, to obtain the oracles from the god. |
