Athens in A Midsummer Night's Dream is the Athens of Ancient Greece--sort of.

Several elements of the play are based on Ancient Greek Literature and mythology. However, many of the elements are not from Greek mythology including Oberon, Puck and Titania, and the rude mechanicals have British, not Greek, names.
