Two Lectures On The Temples And Ritual Of Asklepios At Epidaurus And Athens

""Two Lectures On The Temples And Ritual Of Asklepios At Epidaurus And Athens: Delivered At The Royal Institution Of Great Britain"" is a book written by Richard Caton in 1899. The book contains two lectures that explore the temples and rituals of Asklepios, the Greek god of healing, in the ancient cities of Epidaurus and Athens. The lectures were originally delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain and were later compiled into this book. The first lecture focuses on the temple of Asklepios in Epidaurus, which is renowned for its healing properties, and explores the rituals and practices associated with the temple. The second lecture examines the temple of Asklepios in Athens and compares it to the temple in Epidaurus. The book provides a detailed insight into the religious practices and beliefs of ancient Greece and is a valuable resource for those interested in Greek history, mythology, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
