In earlier tradition, the theaters in Athens evolved around different festivals that's related to the cult of Dionysus.
Athenian comedy, and tragedy have been recorded as the earliest forms of theatre to appear around the world, many containing creatures such as saytrs (half man/half goat beings that have been said to teach many heroes).
