Best Answer

The word Theatron originated with the ancient Greeks. It means "place to view" and the earliest form was a ritual in the cult of the Greek God Dyonisios, which had the form of songs and recitations by a choir. Later Greek and Roman forms also focused heavily on the relationship between Gods and men.
