World History

At The Theater of Ancient Greece, named after the god of wine,one of the greatest events of the year was renfromed. Such as people participating in the Olympics to entertain their gods. Religous festivals held in honor of gods. They considered three tragidies or three comidies followed by a short satry fierse.When they acted in wasn't just them acting, the plays actually ment something. Actors were only men, women were not allowed to participiate. Were as today we have acotrs (men) and actresses (women). Large mask and elaborate costums for male to act as men or female. The cost for the theatre was two obols, and those who didn't have the money got in for free. Were as we have to pay three to seven dollars (dependening on the theater) to get in, and if we don't have the money we can't get in at all.Another thing people did was to hae parties. The women would dance or sit down and tell stories. Beside the telling stories, this is very similar to our way of having parties. The women dance while the men just sit back and watch. Some people also painted art to engage so peoples attention.Also poetry and literacy was essential in Greece. People wouod travel all over cities just tell there stories to others.
