How did Greek religion impact theater, art, and architecture?
Theater: The theatrical productions were based on stories of the gods, many of Dionysus who was the main god that started in the theater, the god of fertility and wine. in Athens there was the festival "Dionysia" which honored Dionysus. There are three dramatic genres- Tragedy, Comedy, and Satyr.
Art: The Greeks liked nudity, so many statues and paintings were of men and woman without clothing. The statues were designed to show the "Perfect" body. Art was created for the gods and much of it was of the gods themselves.
Architecture: In Greece many of their buildings had columns, arches, and domes. The Parthenon was a temple built for the Goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, math, strength, strategy, the arts, and skill.
