With the Greek authoritiesā recent announcement that they were making these sites more accessible to the public, increased attention has been drawn to the Peloponneseās ancient theaters at Messene and Sicyon, which were centers for drama and culture in both ancient times and during the Roman period of Greek history.
The Hellenistic theatre at Sicyon (present-day Kiato) was built between 303 and 251 BC, but was renovated and altered at least twice by the Romans. The scene building was expanded in the first century and the stage was altered in the late Roman period. With a seating area estimated at 122 meters (400 feet) wide and 58 meters (190 feet) deep, it is one of the largest theaters in the Peloponnese.
The present day ruins at Sicyon are a faint reminder of the Romanized theatre the historian Pausanias visited in the second century AD.
However, in February, 2013, the monument underwent a restoration program so that it could be protected once and for all and could once more be recognized for the cultural landmark that it is.

āHerodotusā Tragic Choruses
Matthew C. Wellenbach
From the journalĀ Trends in Classics
https://doi.org/10.1515/tc-2016-0002
Abstract:
A well-known passage in Herodotusā Historiesāā about ātragic chorusesā that took place in sixth-century Sicyonāā contains the only explicit reference to tragedy in the historianās work and also one of the earliest references to tragedy in the surviving literary record from ancient Greece. The reference and its surrounding context, often analyzed for what they reveal about the early history of tragedy and sixth-century Sicyonian musical culture, also provide insights into contemporary attitudes to tragedy in the fifth century. Herodotus offers here a particular conceptualization of fifth-century tragedy as a performance that was conducted in honor of Dionysus and whose content consisted of stories of suffering, or pathos.ā

Tellis de Sicyon A cidade de Sicyon foi fundada pelo lendĆ”rio Aegialeus. Filho de Inachus e da Oceanide Melia, de quem uma parte do Peloponeso era chamada Achaia, derivou seu nome de Aegialeia (Apollod. Ii. 1.1). De acordo com uma tradiĆ§Ć£o Sicyoniana, ele era irmĆ£o de Phoroneus e primeiro rei de Sicyon (Paus. Ii. 5.5, vii. 1.1). Tellis, foi artista do teatro, tambĆ©m foi soldado de Sicyon e havia lutado ao lado dos MessĆŖnios na guerra contra os espartanos, mas seu maior feito foi ser o primeiro vencedor da corrida do StĆ”dium de OlĆmpia, oriundo da cidade costeira, em 708 a.C. ApĆ³s sua vitĆ³ria, em sua homenagem, jogos comeƧaram a ser realizados em honra a Poseidon, e futuramente substituiriam os jogos Ćstmicos de Corinto. Nesta ediĆ§Ć£o dos jogos olĆmpicos, uma competiĆ§Ć£o de luta livre e outra de Pentatlo foram adicionadas, e os vencedores foram, respectivamente, Eurybatus e Lampis, ambos da LacĆ“nia. #jogosolimpicosantigos #sicyon #campeoesolimpicos @prof.lucianodornelles (em Olimpia, Grecia, Katacolon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRPD3gLRmc/?utm_medium=tumblr
