Ancient Greek Theaters in and around Athens
Still, the ancient theaters, in and out of the city, create - during the whole duration of the summer and especially in September, after the return to the city - an exceptional atmosphere of civilization and artistic unity.
For example, Epidauros, at times, becomes a second Athens. City dwellers of every age will find themselves in open areas to attend to ancient tragedies and comedies, theatrical performances, dance performances and refined musical concerts. It is during one of these times that the theater becomes part of the memory of such an observance, emphasizing in this manner its role as place of civilization through time.
