Theatre of ancient Greece
The
Ancient Greek drama
, is a
theatrical
culture
that flourished in
ancient Greece
700 BC. The
city-state
of
Athens
, which became a significant cultural, political, and military power during this period, was its centre, where it was
institutionalised
as part of a
festival
called the
Dionysia
, which honoured the god
Dionysus
.
Tragedy
(late 500 BC),
comedy
(490 BC), and the
satyr play
were the three
dramatic
genres
to emerge there. Athens exported the festival to its numerous colonies and allies in order to promote a common
cultural identity
.
