“The Ancient Theatre of Eretria is a landmark of art, culture and history, with immense value, not only for Eretria but for all Evia and Central Greece. I should mention that the theater is being gradually restored; the work is not complete but some seats have been delivered, so far about 300,” Spanos explained.
The plays performed over the weekend included Euripides’ Eleni, Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, and Persians by Aeschylus. They were part of the pilot Ancient Drama Festival organized by the Pantion University’s classical drama and spectacle.
