there were greek colonies...
The original theater was the Theater of Dionysus in Athens. Theater began to spread out into other cities and colonies in ancient Greece. The Theater at Epidaurus is better preserved than the Theater of Dionysus. When Alexander the Great spread Greek culture throughout the former Persian Empire, theaters were built along with other civic buildings in major cities across the empire.
The colonies, established around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, were independent city-states and each had to make it own living, They traded with their mother cities, and locally.
Two cities in northeast Africa that were Greek colonies are Alexandria and Cyrene. Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, became a major center of trade and learning. Cyrene, established earlier in the 7th century BC, was known for its rich agricultural land and cultural contributions. Both cities played significant roles in the spread of Hellenistic culture in the region.
