What was the first ancient Greek stadium called?

Answer 1

An ancient Greek Ampitheater was the theater Greeks performed on. Ampitheaters were built into a hill to make a sloped seating arrangement that without the Greeks originally knowing had caused an amazing type of sound filter that bounced sound even to the back row with great clarity of the actor's voices and noises. Every play that was held would be payed by a Greek Aristocrat or rich person. They would not be reluctant to pay for it because they believed it was a great honor to pay for it. Poeple that had enough money to pay for tickets to watch the show would have to pay, but people that did not have enough money were let in free, because of how important the Greek Theater was to Greece.

Although the race took up 180 meters, it was held on a 190-meter track. That race was the only competition in the first Olympic games. The games were so called, because they were first held in a sacred place in Olympia, Greece. That place was known as a sanctuary to the main god, Zeus. The artist Phidias sculpted a huge, magnificent statue of Zeus. That statue was known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
