Awake Goy Photorealistic illustration of the final restoration of the theatre of Sparta in Greece
The theatre of Sparta was a magnificent monument which displayed grand reconstruction ideas. When Pausanias visited the theatre in 160 AD, he was impressed and characterized the theatre as “a theatre worthy of sight” (Greek Touring, III, 14.1).
The Sparta theatre follows the tradition of the earlier Peloponnesian theatres in Epidaurus and Megalopolis. It stands out for its size and for the quality of its construction,which is also reflected in the use of the local white marble. The use of marble for a theatre of this scale is an innovation not only for Sparta but for Peloponnesian theatres in general.
