In this Greek architecture, there are many pillars which are a very iconic and important part of Greek architecture. Much like other Greek architectures, there is a triangle shaped roof. There seems to be another structure inside of this which may be a statue of some sort of deity. In this structure, much like the one above, there is the triangle roof again. There are very detailed statues of the Greek gods and goddesses. There is also an intricate pattern running along the rim of the roof, behind the pantheon of gods and goddesses, and along the bottom of the roof.

The types of Greek theater were tragedy and comedy. A tragedy was a serious drama production with themes such as love, hate, war, and/or betrayal. They almost always have a tragic hero with a tragic flaw who would probably die by the end of the play. There were also comedies, plays that had really funny scenes with both slapstick and/or crude humor. These plays would often be offensive towards politics. In middle school I participated in some of my school plays. We did this one comedic play called "Buckshot and Blossoms." It was similar to a Greek production because there was a lot of slapstick humor incorporated in the play.   This image depicts a Greek theater. At least in my school, the seating is different. It is straightforward rather that curving in this picture. It looks like it could hold a plethora of people in this theater and it is outside.
