Théâtre de Dionysos Éleuthéreus
Le théâtre de Dionysos Éleuthéreus, situé sur le versant sud de l'acropole d'Athènes, fut construit au VIe siècle avant notre ère. Modifié et agrandi au fil des siècles, il est le plus ancien théâtre grec et c'est là que certaines des pièces grecques les plus célèbres de l'Antiquité furent jouées pour la première fois.

incredibly funny sophocles fragment from an unknown play where odysseus goes "diomedes why would i insult you and say things like 'you're not even from argos' or 'your father's a murderer' or 'your father's a cannibal' that would be so mean of me" i would give the world to hear diomedes' response to this

i love the part of sophocles' ajax where odysseus very carefully, very diplomatically debates agamemnon, trying to convince him that ajax deserves a proper burial
some of my favourite lines:
AGAMEMNON: Odysseus, are you for me or are you against me, and for this man? ODYSSEUS: I hated him when it was honourable to hate him.
!!
ODYSSEUS: He was my enemy, but he was also noble. AGAMEMNON: And you have respect for an enemy's corpse? ODYSSEUS: I am moved by admiration for his greatness, rather than by hatred for his smallness. AGAMEMNON: He was a man of many turns. ODYSSEUS: Many of our friends later become enemies. AGAMEMNON: But do you wish to praise these so-called friends? ODYSSEUS: I do not see friends and enemies as mutually exclusive.
and the finishing blow:
AGAMEMNON: I see now that every man works for himself. ODYSSEUS: Who else should a man work for?
#he forms his defence so precisely! and teucer looking on believing until now that odysseus would mock ajax too#(bryan doerries translation which is very modernized i know)#tagamemnon#agamemnon#odysseus#sophocles#telamonian ajax#first impressions tag

Architecture des Théâtres Grecs
Les Grecs de l'Antiquité construisirent des théâtres en plein air où le public pouvait assister à des représentations de comédies, de tragédies et de pièces satyriques grecques. Ils exportèrent ensuite l'idée dans leurs colonies de la mer Égée, si bien que les théâtres devinrent un élément typique du paysage urbain de toutes les villes grecques. Les Romains poursuivirent et développèrent le concept, ajoutèrent des coulisses monumentales et, d'une manière générale, rendirent la structure plus grandiose. Les grandes structures semi-circulaires, toujours dotées d'une excellente acoustique, sont visibles aujourd'hui sur de nombreux sites archéologiques, et plusieurs d'entre elles sont encore utilisées non seulement pour des concerts et des spectacles modernes, mais aussi pour des festivals de théâtre grec ancien.
