The cave is called the Ear of Dionysius, which is different than I think I've been spelling it. I didn't know until just a few minutes ago that it isn't named for the wine god, rather, it's named for a tyrannical leader of Syracuse, Dionysius.
The amplification properties of the cave's acoustics are amazing, and the because Dionysius would use it as a prison, it was said that he would have guards spy on what was being said by the prisoners.
The properties are quite fantastic, just not that good, science has shown.
Hopefully that clears that up...
