EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Ancient Hestiatorion of Epidaurus: A Building of Healing and Social Gathering in the Peloponnese" This evocative photograph captures the enchanting ruins of the Hestiatorion, an ancient building nestled in the verdant landscape of Epidaurus in the Peloponnese region of Greece. Dating back to the 3rd and 4th centuries BC, this architectural marvel was initially identified as a gymnasium but recent archaeological research suggests it was, in fact, a building dedicated to Asclepius, the revered ancient Greek god of medicine. The Hestiatorion, meaning "feasting place," was a public structure where individuals seeking healing would gather for rituals, communal meals, and social interaction. The site, situated near the sacred sanctuary of Asclepius, was believed to be a place of spiritual and physical restoration. The image showcases the remnants of the Hestiatorion's Doric columns, which once supported a spacious roofed hall. The columns, now weathered by time, stand tall against the backdrop of the Saronic Gulf, creating a striking juxtaposition between the ancient and the modern world. The Hestiatorion of Epidaurus is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Greece. This UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to attract visitors from around the globe, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of healing, community, and the human spirit. The photograph, taken from an elevated vantage point, allows us to appreciate the grandeur of the Hestiatorion and its serene surroundings. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of ancient Epidaurus and the healing rituals that once took place within these hallowed walls.
