  • Located on the slopes of the Acropolis, The Theater of Dionysus is one of the oldest Greek theaters in the world, and it is famous for hosting ancient competitions for tragedy, comedy, and best actor. These included awards for tragedy, comedy, and best actor. Its winners would become legendary, inspiring playwrights of the renaissance, and their works would still be performed and taught in schools today thousands of years later.

    Thank you, dear Bernie. You have brought us to the four corners of the earth: Ancient Rome, then discovering Julius Caesar’s villa beneath our home, Villa Aurora, and restoring the ruins of Baalbek to Ancient Greek theaters. Oh, yes, and how could I forget Hadrian’s Villa? You and Mellon Professor Corey Brennan have brought the ancient world alive for we mere mortals.

    In 1985, during my first trip to Greece, they the play "Medea" was being performed at the theater. That was the only time I saw the theater in use.

    There's no _"Roman author Plutatch"._
    Astydamus is being mentioned in the work of the *Greek historian, biographer, philosopher and essayist* Plutarch "ΗΘΙΚΑ" in Greek and in latin known as "Moralia" (De gloria Atheniensium), where he writes: _"ταῦθ’ ἡ πόλις ἑορτάζει καὶ ὑπὲρ τούτων θύει τοῖς θεοῖς, οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς Αἰσχύλου νίκαις ἢ Σοφοκλέους· οὐδ’ ὅτε Καρκίνος Ἀερόπῃ εὐτύχει​ ἢ Ἕκτορι Ἀστυδάμας ἀλλ’ ἕκτῃ μὲν ἱσταμένου​ Βοηδρομιῶνος ἐσέτι νῦν τὴν ἐν Μαραθώνι νίκην ἡ πόλις ἑορτάζει."_
    Translation
    "These are the things which the city celebrates in her festivals, for these she sacrifices to the gods, not for the dramatic victories of Aeschylus and Sophocles. Nor is the day celebrated when Carcinus was success­ful with his Aëropê, or Astydamas​ with his Hector, but even yet the State celebrates the victory at Marathon on the sixth of Boëdromion.​"
    So please..

    New to your channel and I really like it. I am confused tho about when you said the play The Persians won first prize in 442 BC, before the building of the Parthenon started around 447 BC. But 447 BC is 5 years earlier than 442 BC, so...??

    Menander's plays were set in Athens. At a coffee shop he would meet his quirky friends, a short bald, highly energetic man with a dishonest streak, a tall awkward man who always said inappropriate things and who wore wacky garb, and finally a short woman who would laugh at sensitive times. All 4 characters had problematic dating lives which were often the plot twists of the plays. Minor characters of these plays included a criminally inclined letter carrier and a midget, or little person.

    Lo interesante del colapso de todas las culturas de la antiguedad es el paganismo y la intolerancia de Dios y aún si envió a su mismísimo hijo para el sacrificio del amor el mundo adora hoy el dinero otro paganismo
