Description

Theatre in Ancient Greek Society examines the social setting and function of ancient Greek theatre across a thousand years of performance history. Rather than relying on written sources limited to educated elites, this study draws evidence from extensive archaeological material including mass-produced vases and figurines alongside elegant silverware from wealthy dining tables. This groundbreaking work is the first to investigate the function and impact of theatre in ancient Greek society through an archaeological approach, offering unique insights into how theatre shaped and reflected the daily lives of ordinary Greeks. By analysing material culture instead of textual sources, the author reveals theatre's broader social significance beyond what traditional scholarship has documented, making it essential reading for anyone interested in classical antiquity, theatrical history, or ancient Greek culture.

Key Features

Examines ancient Greek theatre through a thousand years of performance history, providing comprehensive chronological coverage of theatrical development.

Uses archaeological evidence from vases, figurines, and silverware rather than written sources, revealing theatre's impact on ordinary Greek society.

First study to employ an archaeological approach to understanding theatre's function in ancient Greek culture and social structures.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in classical studies and history.
