Drama in European culture began with the ancient Greek Festival of Dionysus, to honor the god of wine. The singing and dancing chorus of the dithyramb emerged as a dramatic monologue under Thespis, who is considered the first actor and the first playwright; and as dialogue when Æschylus added the second actor. Drama also developed independently in Africa, the Middle East, India, China, and Japan, at different times.
