"Epidaurus (/ˌɛpɪˈdɔːrəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἐπίδαυρος Epidauros) was a small city (polis) in ancient Greece, on the Argolid Peninsula at the Saronic Gulf.
"Epidaurus was independent of Argos and not included in Argolis until the time of the Romans. With its supporting territory, it formed the small territory called Epidauria. Reputed to be founded by or named for the Argolid Epidaurus, and to be the birthplace of Apollo's son Asclepius the healer, Epidaurus was known for its sanctuary situated about five miles (8 km) from the town, as well as its theater, which is once again in use today. The cult of Asclepius at Epidaurus is attested in the 6th century BC, when the older hill-top sanctuary of Apollo Maleatas was no longer spacious enough.
"The asclepeion at Epidaurus was the most celebrated healing center of the Classical world, the place where ill people went in the hope of being cured. To find out the right cure for their ailments, they spent a night in the enkoimeteria, a big sleeping hall. In their dreams, the god himself would advise them what they had to do to regain their health. Within the sanctuary there was a guest house with 160 guestrooms. There are also mineral springs in the vicinity, which may have been used in healing.
"The prosperity brought by the asclepeion enabled Epidaurus to construct civic monuments, including the huge theatre that delighted Pausanias for its symmetry and beauty, used again today for dramatic performances, the ceremonial hestiatoreion (banqueting hall), and a palaestra. The ancient theatre of Epidaurus was designed by Polykleitos the Younger in the 4th century BC. The original 34 rows were extended in Roman times by another 21 rows. As is usual for Greek theatres (and as opposed to Roman ones), the view on a lush landscape behind the skênê is an integral part of the theatre itself and is not to be obscured. It seats up to 14,000 people."

he Austrian officer and author Amand Schweiger Lerchenfeld (1846-1910) was born in Vienna. After graduating from the Wiener Neustadt Military Academy, he enlisted in the Army and took part in the 1866 Italy campaign. He resigned his commission in 1871 and started travelling and writing. He later founded the "Stein der Weisen" newspaper, of which he was also editor.
In 1873 Schweiger Lerchenfeld made his first trip to Italy and in 1875 he toured Greece. In 1876 he started recording his impressions from his travels in Armenia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Pontus, the East, the Adriatic Sea, Italy, Greece, Africa, the Danube to the Caucasus, and elsewhere. He published some thirty-three works, travel accounts as well as books of naturalist, ethnographic and cartographic interest, atlases and leisure reading. In addition to the present work, Schweiger Lerchenfeld published a travel guide to Greece in 1890.
The description of the journey in Greece starts from Athens and Attica, and continues on to the Peloponnese (Corinth, Argolis, Laconia, Messenia, Arcadia, Elis, Achaea). Again starting out from Athens, the author made another trip to Boeotia, Phocis, Locris, Phthiotis, Aetolia and Acarnania, Epirus and Thessaly. From Volos, Schweiger Lerchenfeld visited the Sporades, Euboea, almost all of the Cyclades and the Saronic Islands. He completed his journey with the Ionian Islands.
The edition is illustrated with sixty plates, and one hundred and forty vignettes in the texts. The author gives information on places and people, on historical and contemporary events, at times in a somewhat romantic style, at others taking a more critical stance.

Ancient Lerna (or Lerni) is the place where Herakles killed Lernaia Hydra, a nine-headed water serpent, which lived in the river Lerna or Amymone. Amymone was one of Danaos' daughters who was saved by Poseidon and the god showed her the springs of Lerna (or Fountains of Amymone)(Apollodorus 2, 14 - Pausanias, Corinthiaca 37, 1).
"Palamidi (Greek: Παλαμήδι) is a fortress to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
"The fortress was a very large and ambitious project, but was finished within a relatively short period from 1711 until 1714. It is a typical baroque fortress based on the plans of the engineers Giaxich and Lasalle. In 1715 it was captured by the Turks and remained under their control until 1822, when it was captured by the Greeks.
"The eight bastions of the fortress were originally named after the Venetian provveditori. However, when it fell to the Ottoman Empire, the bastions were given Turkish names. Lastly, when the Greeks overthrew the Turks the bastions were renamed after ancient Greek leaders and heroes (Epaminondas, Miltiades, Leonidas, Phocion, Achilles, Themistocles. The two remaining bastions were named after St. Andrew (Agios Andreas) and the French Philhellene Robert who died in battle on the Acropolis of Athens. The 'Miltiades,' was used as a prison and among its walls was also held Theodoros Kolokotronis, hero of the Greek Revolution."

Nachdem er eine Stunde zuvor noch fast leer war, füllte sich der Syntagma-Platz (Verfassungsplatz) am späteren Morgen plötzlich, und es herrschte dort ein fröhliches Treiben. In Griechenland sei es Tradition, am Karfreitag die Eltern abzuholen und mit ihnen auswärts bei einem Ausflug das Fest zu feiern. Im Hintergrund erkennt man die venezianische Kaserne aus dem Jahre 1713 (heute ein Museum), eine der Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt.
