The Tholos, also known as the Thymele, was a circular building within the Sanctuary of Asklepios in the Valley of Dreams in Argolis.
The tholos served as the home of the Cult of Asklepios, but more than that, it was where the sacred snakes were kept.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the snakes were the responsibility of the priest Doreios. Despite his attempts, some of the snakes escaped the tholos and a patient at the sanctuary was scared to death as he encountered them in the bath house. The Spartan misthios Kassandra was tasked to remove the snakes from the path, ideally forcing them to return to the tholos.[2]
Trivia
- It is unknown why the model used for the tholos shows it half-built, when model for a whole tholos also exists in the game.
