Classical theater originated in Ancient Greece around the 6th century BCE, with its roots in religious festivals honoring the god Dionysus. The earliest known playwright, Thespis, is credited with introducing the concept of an actor who could engage with the chorus, leading to the development of dramatic performance. This tradition evolved into the rich theatrical culture of the 5th century BCE, particularly in Athens, where playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides flourished.
