What inspired Greek Theatre?

answers1: Both of the first two answers are correct. <br>
<br>
@Penelope: Let me guess... Antigone??
answers2: greek theater started in 12th century b.C. <br>
drama was used as apart of the celebrations for dionysus in dionysian
(athens) <br>
drama flourished though between 550 bC and 220 bC <br>
Dionysus is the god of grape harvest and during those celebrations
people were wearing masks with horns and tried to reach ecstasy in
order to reach their god
answers3: Ancient Greek Theatre which is known as Drama was the result
of combination of two poetry forms, Epos and Lyric Poetry. It is
linked to religious rites which happened to honour Zeus, Hera,
Dionysus or other Olympians. Part of Dionysus's worship was "Ecstasy"
which demanded the practitioners to be dressed in costumes (animals'
leathers). Myths were the first themes of drama, mainly about
Dionysus's life and adventures. Later other myths about wars were
included too. Drama was a great way to point current problems in an
indirect way. This means that each writer changed myths to what he
wanted to say, to emphasize the problems that needed to be changed.

We must also mention that theater was a type of school in ancient
Greece that even poor people could attend (rich people were obliged to
pay for them). <br>

@winterbee No, not Antigone, I think I threw that book away. It's
Evripidis-Eleni.
