Where was A Midsummer Night's Dream set?
It is supposedly set in Athens, the city in Greece. This is presumably because Theseus is a legendary character in the history of that city. However, nobody behaves like ancient Greeks, and Theseus's title ("Duke") is decidedly not Greek at all. Neither are the names of the "rude mechanicals" which are totally English, or the fairies, who come from English and European mythology. We might consider this to be an Athens of the imagination, an Athens imagined by someone who didn't know very much about the place.
