A view from the side of the Orchestra and Cavea of the Theatre, on April 14, 2007 in Epidaurus, Greece. The Theatre, designed by Polykleitos the Younger, was built in the late 4th century BC and extended in the Hellenistic period. It was rediscovered in 1881 and significantly restored in the 1950s. It has the three main features of a Greek theatre: the orchestra, a sunken round stage on which someone is standing; the skene, a raised rectangular stage beyond the orchestra; and the cavea, a raked semi-circular auditorium with radiating diazomas. The theatre is renowned for its accoustics thanks to the symmetry of the cavea, which nestles in the wooded hills, seen here in the afternoon light.
