The Hills are Alive with the Sounds of Greeks

The theatre arts began in Greece when the people worshiped and had festivals for their many gods. They honored one of their gods, Dionysus with a festival called  "City Dionysia". Especially in Athens men would sing and present plays to welcome Dionysus.This tradition was spread around to their allies becoming very important to the Greeks. Later almost every Greek city had a theater on a hillside that could have up to 15,000 people there in audience. Although you make think the Greeks were just about seriousness and most of their performances were , but surprisingly their plays were often humorous. The actors were all boys/men who wore masks, wigs, thick soled shoes and goat skin coats. Even though the plays that are put on now are very different from the original ones in Greece that's where it all started. Thank you Greeks! How else do you think our culture was influenced by the Greeks?   (Who got the title reference?)
