Our group on Ancient Greek Theatre – Part 1: origin and birth

Having as a starting point the epic Iliad and Odyssey, we went through the verses of lyrical poets from the 6th and 7th century BC, to reach the celebrations and worship in honour of god Dionysus in the prefecture of Attica.

We visited 6th century BC Athens making an attempt to approach the life and living conditions of that era; an era that eventually gave birth to a unique and universal field of art: theatre!

We renew our appointment for the next meeting of our group in which we will explore the attic tragedy and its teaching in the Athenian theatre of the “Golden” 5th century.
