Légende
The theatre at Eretria, Greece. Originally the theatre at Eretria had a stone stage building, with the orchestra on the same level; the seating for the spectators would be on wooden stands. In the fourth century BC a stone theatre was built, with the orchestra on a lower level, an embanked auditorium and a stone stage building. The dramatic action took place on the orchestra in front of a movable wooden proskenion, which in the early Roman period was replaced by a permanent proskenion of white marble. In ancient times, Eretria was the second most important town on the island of Euboea (after Chalkis).
