Epidaurus Festival

It has been suggested that this article be merged into Athens Epidaurus Festival. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2024.

The Epidaurus Festival (Greek: Φεστιβάλ Επιδαύρου), also known as the Epidávria (Greek: Επιδαύρια), is an ancient theatre festival^[1] held every year during the summer months (Fridays and Saturdays in July and August) in the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, on the archaeological site of the Asclepion. It is organised as part of the Athens-Epidaurus Festival. It includes performances of tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, as well as surviving comedies by Aristophanes. Some performances consist simply of revivals of ancient myths or contemporary plays written on the basis of ancient dramas.
