traced back during the Greek civilization

The followers of Dionysus―god of

fertility – started the Greek theater.
People who were devoted to
Dionysus would dance during
ceremonies while giving their
offerings to their god. eventually, the
Dionysians devised a more
structured form of drama involving
dances and choral songs, which
depicted Greek mythologies.
Eventually the Greeks organized
theatrical contests where the
performance were held in front of
large citizens.
