Theatre mask, 1st century BC

The theatre of Ancient Greece, or ancient Greek drama, is a culture that developed in ancient Greece between the years 550 BC and 220 BC. Athens, which became a significant cultural power during this period, was its centre. This was part of a festival called the Dionysia, which honored the god Dionysus. Tragedy (late 6th century BC), comedy (486 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. Western theatre originated in Athens and its drama has had a significant and sustained impact on northern culture as a whole.
