Description
View of seating at the theater at Epidauros in Greece. "Designed by Polykleitos the Younger, in the 4th century B.C., the seats were wide enough to allow those sitting in the upper rows to rest their feet on the lower seats without touching the persons below. Originally seating 6,210, the expansion of 21 rows above the diazoma allowed the theater to accommodate about 14,000. The best preserved theater in Greece, with unparalleled acoustics,"--Perseus Digital Library.
