We crossed the isthmus of Corinth to get to the Epidarous Theater. It was built in the 4th century B.C. and is amazing for several reasons. It is the only INTACT Greek theater, the Romans altered all the others to conform to their standards. Also many were pilfered for their marble, this one remained because it was in the country side and not accessible. It is also studied by architects, even today, for its incredible acoustics.

The play itself, a modernization of Oedipus, was not great. We still are not speaking or understanding Greek but in a theater of 14,000 people (it was packed) there were droves leaving at the intermission. I over heard one lady say in English that she had been coming here for 20 years and she had not seen anything so bad. The experience was well worth the visit though and I was very impressed that the Greeks continue to support and patronize this venue. It is truly a national treasure!
