THEATER.
"The arts practised in the gymnasia were publicly displayed at
the festivals. The buildings in which these displays took
place were modified according to their varieties. The races
both on horseback and in chariots took place in the
hippodrome; for the gymnastic games of the pentathlon served
the stadion; while for the acme of the festivals, the musical
and dramatic performances, theatres were erected."
