The theatre of ancient Greece, or ancient Greek drama, is a theatricalculture that flourished in ancient Greece between c. 550 and c. 220 BCE. The city-state of Athens, which became a significant cultural, political and military power during this period, was its centre, where it was institutionalised as part of a festival called the Dionysia, which honoured the god Dionysus. Tragedy (late 6th century BCE) and comedy (486 BCE), were the two of the dramaticgenres to emerge there.
