# Modern Epidaurus nights imply fuel, light, and crowd infrastructure of a tragic venue

Date: 1988

## The fact

Low-confidence modest path: keeping plays live costs fuel and grid. He did not design a 1988 lighting plot.

## Context

Do not overclaim kilowatt ancestry of 441.

[Sophocles](/people/sophocles) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official library, festival, encyclopedia, or edition pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: UNESCO — Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/491/; UNESCO World Heritage Centre).

## Significance

A 1988 lighting plot is not a 5th-century lamp series.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here. Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
