Greek theater originated in Athens in the 6th century BCE as part of religious festivals honoring the god Dionysus. Performances involved a chorus who sang and danced, and actors who wore elaborate masks and costumes to portray different characters. Over time, Greek theater evolved from simple choral performances to fully developed tragedies and comedies with complex plots and themes.
HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE
The document describes the three main orders of Greek architecture - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. It provides details on the distinguishing features of each order's columns, capitals, and other elements. Examples are given of temples from ancient Greece that demonstrate each architectural order. Other Greek buildings like the Propylaea, theaters, and agoras are overviewed in terms of their common architectural forms and purposes within Greek cities and sanctuaries. Key architectural terms are defined throughout.
Ancient greek architecture
Ancient Greek architecture developed between 900 BC to 1st century AD and was influenced by earlier civilizations like Egypt. The Greeks used post-lintel construction and three classical orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Temples were the main buildings and were used for religious purposes to show power. Other structures included houses, theaters, and markets. Materials included bricks, stone, wood and marble. Architecture progressed through Geometric, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods, with innovations like stone temples and complex theater designs in the Archaic and Classical eras.
Greek & Roman art and Mathematics
The Parthenon, built in Greece between 447-438 BC, and the Pantheon, built in Rome in 126 AD, are both ancient temples with architectural features related to mathematics. The Parthenon precisely fits a golden rectangle shape and its proportions follow the golden ratio, including a 1.618 ratio between its base and height. Elements of the Parthenon and Greek sculptures like proportions between body parts also reflect the golden ratio. The Pantheon's dome construction also demonstrates sophisticated use of mathematical concepts in architecture. Both structures exemplify how ancient Greek and Roman builders incorporated mathematical principles into their temple designs.
Greek Columns ~ Development & Use
There are three main styles of Greek columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The Doric style has no base and a shaft that is wider at the bottom. The Ionic style stands on a base and has scroll-shaped ornaments on its capital. The Corinthian style has a fluted shaft and a capital decorated with acanthus leaves and flowers. Each style was used in different temples across Greece.
Comparing Parthenon And Pantheon Buildings
The document compares the Parthenon and Pantheon buildings, noting their similarities and differences in use, design, and elements. Both provide beauty, and have likenesses that make them seem designed by the same people. The Parthenon was built in Athens in the mid-440s BC as a temple to Athena using three column types to showcase Athenian power and imperialism.

The Parthenon in Athens.pptx
The Parthenon was built in Athens in the 5th century BCE under the supervision of the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates and the sculptor Phidias. Commissioned by the politician Pericles, it was built to honor the goddess Athena and showcase Athens' wealth and power. Considered one of the greatest achievements of architecture, the Parthenon has endured over the centuries despite being damaged and changed for different uses. It remains a globally significant monument embodying classical Greek architectural ideals of harmony, proportion, and precision.

Ancient Greek architecture had a significant influence on Western civilization. The Greeks are known for constructing temples, theaters, and other civic buildings using distinctive styles like Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. A prime example is the Parthenon temple built in Athens between 447-432 BCE which showcased the Greeks' artistic skills in construction and design. Greek architecture placed an emphasis on harmony, proportion and making buildings that were integrated with their natural surroundings. These architectural achievements demonstrated the Greeks' innovative spirit and emphasis on human-scale design.
