The Theater of Dionysus

The Theater of Dionysus comprises three major parts. The orchestra a flat circular place where the action took place, the skene (scene), an elongated building in which the actors changed costumes and which served as a backdrop, the cavea or auditorium where the audience sat.

The theater extant today did not always have its present form and the original was made of wood. In the middle of the 4th C BC it was re-designed with marble seats and later modifications were made to it over the years. It is in a sad state today but was the original theater of Europe in its day and from it all the famous ancient Greek plays we study in school were preformed.
