In ancient Athens, it was the Athenian government that mandated citizens to attend theatrical performances in the Greek theatre, particularly during festivals like the City Dionysia. These events were considered vital for civic participation and cultural identity, often featuring dramatic competitions. Attendance was seen as both a civic duty and a way to engage with moral and social themes presented in the plays.
