conjec-reconstructions), since many pieces are irrevocably lost because the
buildings in later periods became sources 01 stone lor other projects and what
remains is usually broken and scattered [DJ That most 01 the buildings were
remodeled many limes has created great problemS lor those seeking to date
both the paris and the sll"X'm'sive versions Despite these drawbacks,
archeol-ogy provides the most concrete evidence we !\ave about the theatre structures

-+ Perhaps the use 01 archeological evidence in theatre
history is vase paintings, thousands 01 which have survived from ancient
Greeoe (Most 0I1hose used by theatre scholars are repmduced in Margarete
Bieber's The Histoty of ItJe Greek and Roman Theatre.) Depicting scenes Irom
mythology and daily life, the vases are the most graphic pictorial evidence we
have But they are also easy to misinterpret Some scholars have considered
any vase that depicts a subject treated In a surviving drama or any scene
show-ing masks, flute players, or ceremonials to be valid evidence 01 theatrical
prac-tice This Is a highly questionable assumption, since the Greeks made
widespread use 01 masks, dances, and music outside the theatre and since the
myths on which dramatists drew were known to everyone, including vase
pairlters, who might well depict the same subjects as dramatists without being
indebted to them Those vases showing scenes unquestionably theatrical are
lew in number
-+ Written eviclenoe about ancient Greek theatre is often treated as less
reli-able than archeological evidence because most written accounts are separated
so lar in lime from the events they describe and because they provide no
irllor-mation about their own sources Of the written evidellCe, the surviving plays are
usually treated as the most reliable But the oldest surviving manuscripts of
Greek plays date from around the tenth century, C.E., some 1500 years after
they were lirst perlormed Since printing did not exist during this lime span,
copies 01 plays had to be made by hand, and therefore the possibility 01 textual
errors aeeping in was magnified Nevertheless, the scripts offer us our readiest
access to the cultural and theatrical conditions out 01 which they came But
these scripts, like other kinds 01 evidence, are subject to varying Interpretations
Certainly perlormances embodied a male perspective, lor example, since the
plays were written, selected, staged, and acted by men yet the exiSting plays
leature numerous choruses 01 women and many leature strong lemale
charac-ters Because these characters often seem victims 01 their own powerlessness
and appear to be governed, especially in the comedies, by se:cuat desire, some
critics have seen these plays as ralionalizatiorls by the maIe-Oominated culture
lor keeping women segregated and cloistered Other critics, howeV9f, have
seen in these same plays an attempt by male authors to lorce their male
audi-ences to e:camine and call into question this segregation and cloistering 01

~ By far Ihe majOrity of written ref&rences 10 Greek theatre date from several
hundred years after the events they report The writers seldom mention their
sources of evidence , and thus we do no t know what credence to give MW In
the absence of material nearer in time 10 the events, however, historians have
used the accounts and have bee n grateful to have them Overall , historical
treatment of the Greek theatre Is something like assembling a Jigsaw puzzle
from which many pieces are missing : historians arrange what they have and
imagine (with the aid of the remaining evidence and logic) what has been Iosl
As a result, though the broad oullines of Greek th eatra history are reasooably
