Best Answer

Ancient Greek theatre was designed as an art form: Tragedy--the stories of the deaths of heroes and gods, the wars that were fought, and romance.

And of course, comedy--the tellings of funny, and humorous events and made-up stories and myths.

Myths, in general, were made up to explain why certain things work the way that they do and are the way they are. They also tell stories with morals behind them, such as King Midas..he had The "GOLDEN TOUCH"...the moral behind this particular story is be careful what you wish for .because he wished he was wealthy and that everything he touched would turn to gold, he could not hold his brand new baby, and when he did , he turned it to gold.

anywho, that is why greek theatre was designed how it was.
