Expansion using the French or German articles[edit]

The French and German versions seem more complete than the English versions, although they lack references. Maybe someone could expand the article using those versions. I would do it myself if I felt qualified for the task, but I think it is better that someone with better knowledge on Architecture, History does it. --Stegop (talk) 23:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Middle ages?[edit]

I remember reading an article about the theater during middle ages. The Christians had either neglected it or turned it to a church because during Diocletian's reign many Christians had suffered there. I can find the article but can it be considered as reliable since it is written in Greek? — Preceding Dendritis comment added by Dendritis (talk) 14:03, 20 October 2011 (UTC)Dendritis Dendritis (talk) 14:03, 20 October 2011 (UTC) (talk • contribs) 14:00, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Information?[edit]

This excerpt is confusing:

"Early remains in the area relating to the cult of Dionysus Eleuthereus have been dated to the 9th century BC, during the rule of Peisistratus and his successors, but a theatre was apparently not built on the site until a century later."

I'm willing to believe remains dating to the 9th century BC were found on the site, but Peisistratos and his successors lived and ruled in the 6th century BC (as is confirmable at the linked entry on Peisistratos.) Furthermore, one should pick either the Greek spelling Peisistratos or the Romanized Pisistratus -- "Peisistratus" seems to be in between.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the cited reference, or else I would edit the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.160.156.181 (talk) 13:59, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
