Secondly, it will focus on how the stage was built. Thirdly, it will examine a variety of effects on the actors. Finally, common symbols in the play will also be discussed and about how lighting was made. As Aristotle (384-322 BC) stated “Dramatic action, therefore, is not with a view to the representation of character: character comes in as subsidiary to the actions.”<br />What did the Greek Stage looked like?<br />The structure of the Greek Stage was very interesting and had very useful parts separated in it. “The rectangular court became the circular orchestra, or “dancing place” where the actors and chorus as well as members of the dithyrambic processions, performed. The king’s box was a central thymel, an altar for sacrificing to and honoring the gods.” (Greek and Roman Theater p.26.) The figure below (Don Nardo, 1995) shows a drawing of Greek theatre and its parts. <br />Fig 1. The diagram of The Theater of Dionysus (Don Nardo, 1995)<br />The stage was divided into several parts.

An altar (or thymele) was located in the center of the orchestra
