This first general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times
to the foundation of the Modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical
departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to
think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form,
but the story of Greek theatre is rather different. After
traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no
traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughout the
Greek-speaking world for centuries due to the Orthodox Church's
hostile attitude toward spectacles. With the reinvention of theatre
in Renaissance Italy, however, Greek theatre was revived in Crete
under Venetian rule in the late sixteenth century. The following
centuries saw the restoration of Greek theatre at various
locations, albeit characterized by numerous ruptures and
discontinuities in terms of geography, stylistics, thematic
approaches and ideologies. These diverse developments were only
'normalized' with the establishment of the Greek nation state.
