Greek agriculture

One terrific greek buildings are the theatres. they are some of the oldest theatres that go all the way back to the 6th century B.C.E. They were rectangular shapes and they were from Thorikos in Attica. This would mean that it was used during festivals where dramas were presented.

Another was the Stadium. The stadiums were often named after the foot races that they hosted. It was made of rows made out of stone and marble steps. And to drain out access rainfall the conduits ran around the track to drain it out.

Lastly we had Housing. They were constructed with mud brick and had earth floors. It was constructed for people to access water easily and socialize. The better houses in the 5th were built in stone, and had a plastered interior. And a regular house was usually one or two stories high.
