Ancient Greeks took entertainment seriously while using drama as a way of explaining their way of life. Tragedy dealt with themes of love, skill, and the relationships between men and gods. Typically, the drama was a form of entertainment for the community as they did not have television or the internet. Sparta and Athens were Greek city-states who lived with different views on life. Sparta was a military ruled city-state where people established themselves with physical power. However Athens was political and more involved with their economical dignity than their military forces. The two city-states constantly fought over decades due to the case that neither was strong enough to conquer the other. Athens was an important center of art, politics, literature and philosophy. Athenian art was a representation of historical views and developments. Religious roles of the plays were given to men because women were not to participate. Instead, men wore masks to portray their female roles. Plays were staged in theaters around the city-state, such as the theatre of Dionysus which was very well-known. Theaters consisted of three main parts: the orchestra, the skene, and the audience. The Epitheatron of the theatre is the seating section above the diazoma, which separates the higher and lower sections of the theatre, also known as the kerkis. The parados on each side of the theater was for entry onto the acting area. The klimakes were the stairs to make your way up to higher parts of the theater. The prohedria were stone seats rather than wooden, usually reserved for important officials. The orchestra, or dancing place was were the action actually took place. The Choronioi Klimakes was the passageway leading to backstage. The Proskenion was the area directly in front of the Logeion, commonly known as the stage. Pinakes were panels to set the setting of the plays while the Episkenion was the structure behind the orchestra, made for acting as well
