The time sea bream of the Greek arts of the theater

The period around 600 A.C. - 200 were known A.C like the time sea bream the Greek arts of the theater. Athens was the focal point for the arts flourishing. The political and military epicenter gave to light the great emperors, soldiers, philosophers, poets, writers and agents.

The games were carried out annually in the theater of the Dionysia. The songs were sung in the first inside praise of God of the wine and the fertility, Dionysus. Outside them the poetry of Aristotle was exceptional. Its important element was the tragedy that was the inspiration behind tragic histories. Another ARION of the poet developed the refrain that sang that he was well-known like Dithyramb. The refrain felt well later to an integral part of the Greek theater next to agents, to the commentators and the narrators who were also a part of the equipment of the refrain. In some games the refrain acted separately like diverse character. They synchronized everything with one to projecting the image of a single organization something that a group. In the refrain of the included principle of twelve that sings and met participants of dance like Choreutai. The number was increased more ahead to fifteen and two groups of seven, known like Hemichoria, were done with a vocalista known like Koryphaios.

The games were written by Thespis in the principle with an agent who decreed to diverse characters using diverse masks. He built reciprocally with the refrain that narrated some parts of history and sang when it was required. The subjects of their game were tragedy and God Dionysus. Aeschylus presented/displayed to a second agent, followed by Sophocles, that presented/displayed a third agent. This increased the complexity of history and abriĆ³ the horizons whereas other Greek mythological characters were considered. And this one was when they also presented/displayed the leader of the refrain. It was responsible to build reciprocally with the agents in stage and the hearing also, for its opinion and the summary. The interaction was sometimes under the song form and in other times he spoke direct. The rest of the refrain sang ahead at heart and informed in the main subject.

And two masks became therefore the symbol of the Greek theater or Theatron. One had a smile and the expression cheers that it represents the humorous aspect of the game and of the other mask bores a sad expression that represented the tragic aspect of the game. By 500s A.C., the theaters were dignified more and they became the pride of the athenian culture. The first famous theater was the theater of Dionysus. The annual competitions were celebrated where three tragic games were realized and the best game was compensated. The competition between the games of the comedy began in 430s A.C.

In century IV A.C., king Alexander attacked Athens that took to the peloponense war. It was then when the energy of Athens began to deteriorate. In spite of the threat for the traditions of theater of the Greek, still he survived and he happened over the hellenistic period. He was in this period in which the theater of the comedy came to its complete form that reflected the lives of the common man. The argument of the games never was mixed, that is to say the comedy never was mixed with tragedy and vice versa. Menander was the writer who obtained fame during this period.

The three main elements of the theater felt well to the orchestra, Skene and the hearing. The platform in which the artists were realized and the realized refrain was known as the orchestra or the place the dance. In other times it was used to lead religious rites. Skene was an enormous rectangular building behind the orchestra. A hut or a used simple store like a between frames was original. The agents changed their suits here and was used for the religious intentions also. But he more ahead took the form from a firm stone structure with two to three doors that were abrieron in the orchestra. The paintings were done in this structure that was used as the bottom of the game and that one is how the Skene term entered existence. Another structure named like Proskene also was erected later in front of the Skene that was meant exclusively for the operation of the agents. The hearing sat down in the round ascending form of the seat stairs. Therefore the form of the mountain in which the whole structure is being carved is important.

The arts of the theater that emerged during that were reflected in the games of the today by everybody. Out of all the play written at that time tragic games of having taste of Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles and the games of Aristophanes comedian got to be famous in the gold history of the Greek arts. Its work was taken one more a future measurement by Plautus and Terence.
