"Perfect Geometry — Ancient designers used precise design for acoustics, necessary for an outdoor theater. The overall design and each detail shows advanced knowledge of sound properties truly was ahead of its time. Vitrivius describes a floor plan derived from the zodiac and musical scale. The Epidaurus theater is different from all other theaters, however, as it is based on the 5-star pentagon rather than the 6-star hexagon. This may be because the theater was hastily built from the ruins of a Trajan-era gymnasium, when pentagon-shaped buildings were being built." — "Epidaurus Theater: Transition From Ritual To Entertainment", Architecture Revived |
