Answer:
The origins of Greek theatre lie in the revels of the followers of Dionysus, a god of fertility and wine. ... They dance and sing, in choral form, the stories of Greek myth. 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.
The theatre of ancient Greece consisted of three types of drama: tragedy, comedy, and the satyr play. The origins of theatre in ancient Greece, according to Aristotle (384–322 BCE), the first theoretician of theatre, are to be found in the festivals that honoured Dionysus.
