Dionysus Theater, built in the 6th century BC, is the oldest open-air theater. This theater with a capacity of 65,438+07,000 people has staged countless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, euripides and comedies of aristophanes. Built on the hillside, the theater is surprisingly large and seems to condense the beauty of heaven and earth. In ancient Greece (especially Athens), watching tragedy was not only the most important artistic activity loved by the public, but also the important content of city-state life.

There are two semi-circular theaters on the south side of the Acropolis, which are connected by porches, which fully embodies the ancient Greeks' love for art. Odium of Herodes Attius Theater on the west side is still a place for open-air concerts and theatrical performances in summer, and Dionysus Theater on the east side is open to tourists as a scenic spot. Built in the 5th century BC, the theater was the first place to pray to Dionysus. Herod Atticus Concert Hall, located on the south side of the entrance to the Acropolis, was built in Roman times. It is an outdoor theater that can accommodate more than 6,000 people, and performances are still held here on weekdays. The Dionysus Theater at the foot of the mountain was built around 320 AD and is the birthplace of Greek drama.

The ups and downs of Greek drama itself make the audience's attention unable to leave the theme and turn to the background. The Greeks thought that going to the theatre meant some kind of "passionate happiness". Today, more than 2,500 years later, the seats and stages in the theater are still basically intact, and the performances of ancient dramas and the awards ceremony of the Athens art world are still held here-the flowers of ancient culture are still fragrant and brilliant.
