Exploring the intricate relationship between space and Greek tragedy, this work presents a fresh perspective on the open-air theater of Dionysus. The author, a classicist and director, examines how natural and fictional settings interact, proposing an ecological framework that situates fifth-century theatrical space within the broader social, political, and religious contexts of Athens. This analysis highlights the significance of spatial dynamics in shaping the audience's experience and understanding of ancient performances.
