Talk:Epidaurus

Amplification
Is it really necessary to emphasize that the design of the theater allows for perfect acoustics without amplification? Could not one infer that a theater built in 400 BC would be devoid of amplification? Aureliusweb (talk) 04:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

i think the idea is that it is emphasizing the fact that the Greeks were able to make a theater with perfect acoustics, even outside. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.102.76.59 (talk) 00:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

digraph /αυ/
The Wikipedia entry for Ναυπλιον (Ναυπλιο) is .../Nafplio. I agree with that, because the /αυ/ digraph is pronounced "av" or "af" (devoiced). So Nafplio is a good representation of the sound of the Greek name.

If you follow the same logic for Επίδαυρος (which contains the same /αυ/ digraph), you come up with Epidavros (or Epidafros I think) and I would expect the Wikipedia entry to be .../Epidavros But instead, the entry is called "Epidaurus", presumably pronounced "EPI-DOOR-US". But that is not the way Επίδαυρος is pronounced.

Has the name "Epidaurus" been properly transcribed (phonetically) from the original Greek to modern English? 205.233.56.35 (talk) 07:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * No, the name is the common English name, not a transcription (like Athens and not Athína, Patras and not Patra, Corinth and not Kórinthos etc etc)--Phso2 (talk) 18:54, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
