Culture
Since ancient times the arts have been integral to life in Greece.
The western theatre dates from the antique culture of
Dionysus and dramas are still a special culture event in
Greece. During summertime dramas are staged in the ancient
theatres where they were originally performed.
Through centuries of outstanding art and the historical routes
with the influence of western civilization, the cultural life of Greece
has taken its exciting current form.
Greek literature's ancient heritage spans poetry, drama,
philosophical and historical treatises, and travelogues.
The Greek language is probably the oldest in Europe, with a
4000-year oral tradition and a 3000-year written tradition.
