"Healing — The Greek theater was typically dedicated to Apollo, the god of music who integrated art and healing. Patients came from afar and hiked up the mountain to this location. They received drama and entertainment as part of a healing process, rituals that helped avoid future evil as well as heal current illness and injury. The theater drama was just one step in the healing experience. It dates back to even more ancient cults which used magic songs to cure diseases and drama performances to explain religious mythology." — "Epidaurus Theater: Transition From Ritual To Entertainment", Architecture Revived |
