Answer:
Explanation:
HISTORY OF THEATRE. The origins of Greek theatre lie in the revels of the followers of Dionysus, a god of fertility and wine. ... In the 6th century BC a priest of Dionysus, by the name of Thespis, introduces a new element which can validly be seen as the birth of theatre. He engages in a dialogue with the chorus.
The earliest origins of drama are to be found in Athens where ancient hymns, called dithyrambs, were sung in honor of the god Dionysus. These hymns were later adapted for choral processions in which participants would dress up in costumes and masks.
