Description

Explore the social setting and function of ancient Greek theatre through a thousand years of performance history. This study by Routledge moves beyond traditional written sources, which were often limited to a small, educated portion of the population. Instead, the author provides a fresh perspective by drawing evidence from a vast range of archaeological materials. By examining everything from mass-produced vases and figurines to elegant silverware used by the wealthy, this book offers a unique look at how theatre impacted daily life. It stands as the first study to examine the function and impact of theatre in ancient Greek society using an archaeological approach. This makes it an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the performing arts and ancient history.
