THE THEATER AT EPIDAUROS 1

    Drawing of Theater at Epidauros

The Theater of Dionysus became the prototype for all later Greek theaters, as can be seen in this recreation of the theater of Epidaurus (late fourth century BC).  This theater, much admired for its form in the ancient world, gives a clearer representation of what an ancient Greek theater was like because of its excellent state of preservation, as we see in the next photograph.
