In Ancient Greece, dramas were performed as a form of art, just like plays in our society today. Dramas back then would focus on leadership, justice, and duties owed to the gods. There were two types of drama in Ancient Greece. A tragedy is one type. Tragedies were serious dramas about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betrayal. There were usually main characters and tragic heroes. The tragic hero had what is called a "tragic flaw". This is what causes the downfall of this hero. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides were great authors of tragedies in Ancient Greece. The other type of drama is called a comedy. Comedies contained scenes slapstick situation and crude humor. In comedies, politics and respected people/ideas were usually made fun of. A playwright named Aristophanes wrote the first great comedies for the stage like The Birds  and Lysistrata .

   This is the Temple of Hera in Olympia. This temple was built in 590 BC to honor Hera, the queen of Greek goddesses. The architectural style of this temple was called Doric (see picture below), and consisted of 16 columns. The lower part of the temple was made out of limestone while the upper part was built using mud bricks and terra-cotta tiles. Back in Ancient Greece, when it was still new (and not destroyed), the Temple of Hera consisted of three rooms. Two of these rooms contained statues of Zeus and Hara. However, the temple was later demolished by an earthquake in the fourth century AD.    This is the Parthenon in Acropolis. It was built in 447 BC and dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom. The Parthenon was built after the Greek's victory over the Persians, as a way to celebrate their win.
